Cool Palm Pre Soap

I have been busy at the keyboard trying to work on my manuscript for my thriller but here is the newest geeky soap creation!

Some of my friends got the brand new Pam Pre and that has me intrigued since I have been reading and researching about this new phone in the smart phone market. I have been playing with it so I love to hear pros and cons from fellow smart phone enthusiasts! Here is my very cool soap creation that models from the Palm Pre!

This soap is pretty close to the actual phone in size. It has the small black button at the bottom and the "screen icons" in its "flat screen". The top layer of the soap is dark grayish black and the bottom layer is a slightly lighter shade of gray. It weighs about 3 oz and I have one scented with a Coca Cola fragrance.

Go Ask Your Mother Soap (Chuckle-Inducing and Perfect for Dad)

I am pretty sure this will get a chuckle out of your dad or husband :) since I hear this from my own dad all the time!

This soap features one of favorite dad sayings on top with a little red heart-shaped soap over the word "Mother" :). The writing will *not* get washed off and will last for the life of the soap. The background is ivory white and is scented with an Apple Strudel fragrance.

Rice Krispies Treat Soap (Banana Nut Bread Scented)

Oh my goodness - these Rice Krispies Treat Soaps look sooo much like the real thing! I made huge messes in the process of making these but at least I had a lot of fun! I scented them with a new Banana Nut Bread fragrance I got and it smells like I just baked a loaf of Banana Nut Bread in the oven! They look and smell delicious but *please do not eat them* :)!

This listing is for a set of 4 rice krispies treat soaps and they will come to you in a nicely packaged clear take-out box :). Each treat weighs 2 oz and all 4 together weigh 8 oz.

It also comes with a cap and yes, the tassel comes with it as it is affixed on the cap :). To complete the set, you even get a rolled up diploma that I wrote "Congratulations!" in red on it with a matching red ribbon!
