so...joy over at
joy's life asked me to join along in a thank you gift blog hop....and of course i said yes!...there's a ton of us gals that are sharing our ideas for some goodies for those special people in our lives!...so when you've had your fill of the crafterole...head on over to
cricut my way and see what denise has up her creative sleeve!...but don't go without seeing what i gots to offer first!...lol...
'tis the season for the white stuff!...no...i'm not talking dandruff...i'm talking snow!...but not everyone's as lucky as us in west virginia to get it...so...i've thought up a little something for you warm weather gals!....how about some sn"oap"balls?...yeah...i totally made up that word!...lol...
you'll need to grab a grater and some soap...now...this is stuff that i melted and scented myself...but you could totally do this with store bought soap!...
just start grating!...don't get your fingers in there...we don't want bloody snowballs!...
this is what 3 bars of soap looks like all grated....
these are the leftover bits that were too tiny to shred....don't throw 'em out!....this will be the start of your sn"oap"ball....
just press and roll into a small ball...
now...you'll want to grab some of the shredded soap...
add that to your ball and start pressing and forming a bigger ball...the soap that i used had some moisture in it...so it adhered great...but if the flakes are a little dry...just wet your hands...and then staring forming...
see...it got bigger!...
grab some more shredded soap...and add that to your exsisting ball...
got bigger!...are you seeing a pattern here?...lol...
let's grab one more handful...you know what do with it!...
wowser...look at that sn"oap"ball!...now you'll want to set it aside and let harden for a while!...
when all done...you can package 'er up!...i did up these little clear boxes and topped off with some cutie snowman ribbon...now how much fun are these?...
well...thanks for hopping by!...hope you had fun over here at the crafterole!...and make sure you go see denise over at
cricut my way!...
****check out my linky party directory on the sidebar to see where i'm linking to this week!...

What great snowballs. Thanks for sharing. I am a follower. patnbobcuddy@gmail.com
cute idea! thanks for sharing
Such a cute idea, and so easy to make! I'll have to keep these in mind. TFS! Our household is at no loss for snow right now. A snowstorm just went through and dumped at least 16 inches directly on us. Some cities and towns near us are at 20 inches and over.
This is such a great idea. The sn"oap" ball looks too cute in that clear box! I'm a new follower. Happy Holidays!!

Tfs and have a great day. :)
This morning we were on the way to church and DH said, "Well, I checked your post this morning and everything looks good". He does this for me to make sure my post went up like it was supposed to because he gets up earlier than I do. Then he said, "All the projects look great! Somebody made Snoapballs." I said, "Snowballs?" He said, "No, snoapballs. They're great...they're made out of..." I interrupted. "They're made out of soap and it was Greenbean, right? That's so cute!!" I couldn't wait to get back and see your Snoapballs. :) They are adorable, as usual! I'm so glad you were a part of my Thank You gifts blog hop. :) You are one of my favorite crafters on the Internet! Three cheers to the Bean!
Super Hugs,

Cute idea. Would also be a great way to use leftover soap pieces.
Love the packaging! We made those last year in my daughters class for Christmas and were such a hit with everyone! We added a little plastic animal inside when we molded it for a added treat as you washed!
This is so cute! I love this idea :) I need to go check out the rest of your blog!!!!

But first I have to find someone who loves homemade presents as much as I do, lol.

Adorable! Reminded me a little of the snowball candles we made as kids where we whipped up the melted wax. Too cute and thanks for the memories. xxD
Such a fun idea, thanks for the tutorial! =)

Absolutely brilliant and so much fun too! I tried it with Ivory soap so the Snoap Balls will float in the tub. Love it! Thanks so much for the inspiration. I love your blog.
Hugs,
Snoopy :D
P.S. Wanna laugh? My golden retriever thinks it is a real snowball and is stalking me and begging for it. He keeps sniffing it like it's a treat.
