Saturday morning I was feeling the need to dig in the front flowerbed. It is nothing but mud. Mud, Mud, and more Mud! I was a mess and so were my nails. I decided to make a new jar of hand scrub. Last week I bought a bottle of the Lavender scented Dawn dish soap. I mixed some soap and sugar together into a runny paste. Presto! Fancy hand scrub! I decorated a cheez whiz jar (perfect size for everything) and I get a hand spa treatment any time I want.
DH sees this scrub taking spray paint off my fingers (whole other mess I might post about LOL) and asks if I will make him some that doesn't smell Girly! So, I mixed the sugar and regular, blue, no girly smelling Dawn into an undecorated salsa jar. He is happy as pie and no smelly stuff touches him...LOL!
Check my sidebar for places I party! Come join the fun!

It looks so cute and fancy...great job!
The secrets out ... I also use sugar and dish washing liquid to clean stubborn things off of my hands. A car mechanic taught me that one.
What a great idea! I can't wait to make some and try it out!!
Too funny... non-girly smelling hand scrub... *lol*
Will have to get me some lavender Dawn and make me some hand scrub!
Cool! What is the recipe? Just equal parts?
great idea!
I like it, cuz I already have the ingredients on hand! Ha Ha!
That is a brilliant idea! I am going to have to try that! If a lady's hands proclaim her habits, mine proclaim I dig in mud, play with chemicals and don't make time for proper manicures!
Smart! I would probably love this with that green apple scented soap. Thanks for linking up with DIY under $5!

I really like this and wouldn't have thought of it on my own. I have a ton of this lavendar Dawn in the pantry. I'll have to give it a try. I'm a new follower from Fancy Friday blog hop. http://www.grandmasguidetolife.blogspot.com

What a great idea! I am going to share this link with my cousin who owns a preschool. This would be so easy for her little ones to make! Thanks for sharing! I am your newest follower. Come over to Greetings From the Asylum and follow me too!
This is such an awesome idea.. not to mention a big money saver! You are one clever lady! Thanks for sharing with the Pink Hippo Party! Can't wait to see what you share next week!
Thanks so much for sharing this! Now I can spray paint to my hearts content and not remove half of my skin along with the paint!
Yum! Think I might have to remember that at Xmas time - the Mother Outlaw loves lavender! We don't have dawn here in the UK but I bet I can find something. Does it have to be 'creamy' soap? Is that the only requirement?
Thanks so much for linking up - tomorrow I'll be featuring it!
