Tussie Mussie Swap Winner -- Jasmine Jewel

Suzanne Jones wooed us with her beautiful version of \'Jasmine Jewel\'. This classic bar consisted of one type of transparent soap in the shape of a jewel embedded into another. The scent blend was a combination of rose, jasmine, lavender and gardenia. Way cool, Suzanne.

The second recipe of transparent soap was made and poured into drawer dividers. On pouring, the previously made flower and heart soaps were submerged in the drawer dividers. The soap was allowed to harden and removed from the molds within a day.
