Great Find

The cover of this book prompted me to pick it up and start reading. What a find! Ms Lett's style is so down to earth and fun that it makes you want to run out and try all the recipes in the book. The ingredients are so simple you either already have then in the kitchen or it is just a quick run to the store. So far I have only tried one, Potpori's Ugly Step Sister, it may sound strange but it smells great and is easy to make. The art work is also wonderful, my favorite is the bee with the big lips on the page for Honey Lip Balm. This book is a must have for any creative or not so creative person. The recipes are easy enough for a fun children's project. Great Mother's Day gift.
