Treasures

Kathy E in New York State sent this along to share with every one.

"For Christmas, My specialty hand cream...put 8 ounces of beeswax, 3 cup olive oil and 36 drops of lavender oil in a pan. Heat it until the beeswax melts. Now put a teaspoon in and then put the spoon in a freezer. If the hand cream is at the consistency you want."

"Pour this mixture into some pretty jars.  I use this on my hands all the time and so does my husband.  It's pretty and its functional and you can use different scented oils to make different scented hand creams."
