I use the Handmade liquid soap; however, I have changed it a little bit. My daughter had a science experiment where they put an Ivory soap bar in the microwave. So I learned it crumbles in your hands. Since then I break down the soap that way!!!
I posted a comment on your DIY spice shaker blog. I love this idea and have used it for gift tea and spice mixtures.
