This is a photo of my final soap carving with all the changes. The wire made it look like it was orbiting through space or something so I incorporated the milky way galaxy.

A Few of my Favorite Things

To pick a few of my favorite things was a difficult thing to do. I wanted the things I chose to be pretty but mean a lot in the photograph. 

I first chose my journal. My partner and I have shared this journal since high school. When we weren't able to see each other we'd write in it and keep it for a week and then give it back to the other to read. It is very special to me because it helped me grow as a person and better communicate with people.

I chose my favorite perfume next because of it's beautiful scent and the bottle. It is so expensive that it will take me a while to be able to save up and get the bigger bottle of it. For now, I put it on on special occasions. 

I then chose a tea bag that my mother always brewed for me when I was sick. Every time I smell it I think of being with her - I drink it at night time if I can sleep because it is so comforting.

I also have a lipstick tube in my favorite things. It has been my most recent purchase. I wasn't going to spend $25 for lipstick, but I was able to go to the grand opening of the store that carries it and my best friend won $15 a purchase and she let me use it. It is a blue tinted lipstick but comes on sheer and it is gorgeous. The first time I saw it in the store I swear I dreamt about it every night afterwards. It was taunting!

I love sweets - cookies brownies and cakes. If I didn't have control I'd be 300 lbs. I had made gingerbread cookies for me and my roommate the night before and had to include them here. They made out apartment smell so good like the holidays.

Finally, I included crayons. For some reason, I love them so much that I will wind up in the kids sections at the grocery store and be tempted to buy anything and everything crayola. Even though I end up breaking the crayons in half because of my grip, I just love seeing them in the box.
