<u><font color="red">Bathsalts and Poem for mom </font></u>



Mothers Day gift of bathsalts and the poem to used along with it. There are several recipes for bath salts - this one is prettyeasy and the cost isn't to out of reach.



3 cups of Epsom Salts



A few drops of perfume or oil (remember the oil goes along way)



1 Tablespoon of Glycerin



Food coloring (you can use the liquid or the frostingtype) and put in the amount you want to achieve thecolor you want



Place the Epsom Salts in a glass or metal container. Combine the food coloring and glycerin and mix. Then add to the epsom salts and mix.



To save - put the bath salts into a zip lock bag. It was stapled inside a card which the kids can make for their mom. Also used assorted pastel colors of card stock (full sheet size) folded it in half and had a real cute picture of a ducky in an old fashioned footed bath tub with a bath brush scrubbing its back.



The poem said,

This special day will go so fast.

We'll laugh and talk and eat and joke -

When the day is through have a quiet soak!

Love you MOM!!
