Letter from the publisher:

Being creative is one of the things that makes being a crafts person fun.  Creativity applies to creating new things as well as finding a new or better way to do something.  The article Money Savers contains several ideas about recycling items for use with cosmetics and soaps that you might not have considered.  It may also cause you to think of some ideas on your own.  This article was inspired by a book titled Don't Throw It Away, Recycle It For Crafts.  This book is a guide to using the discarded in arts and crafts projects.

We'd like to hear from you.  Let us know if you have a comment, suggestion or question.  We'd also like to know how Making Good Scents™ has helped you achieve any of your personal goals.  Or possibly you have a tip to share with other readers.
