great way to encourage reading
Before you start, gather together:2- 5 x 7 pieces of mat board2-8 1/2 x 11 pieces of decorative paper (scrap book papers or wall paper scraps work well)White glueSeveral sheets of 8 1/2 x 11-inch card stockOne shoelace or piece of ribbonHole punchDrillYour kids imagination
Directions
1. To house a collection of my kids stories, we made our own books. Cut the mat board into two 5 x 7-inch pieces. Place each piece of mat board in the center of your decorative paper.
2. Wrap the edges of the paper around the mat board. The ends will almost meet in the middle. Repeat this process so you have two pieces of 5 x 7-inch mat board covered with your decorative paper. (Much like wrapping a small package.) Glue the folded edges in place. These will serve as the front and back cover of your book.
3. Cut the card stock into ten 5 x 7-inch sheets. Stack the sheets and place them horizontally in front of you. Punch two holes, a half-inch from the left-hand side. The holes should be spaced 2-inches apart. Drill corresponding holes in the two covers.
4. Place the paper between the front and back covers so the holes align. Thread the shoelace through the holes. Leave enough slack in the laces for the pages to open and lie flat on the table. Tie a knot.
5. Have your kids write and illustrate their own story. Younger children may want to dictate their story to you. Then let them do the illustrations.
6. Create several books and start your own library. Add a sign-out sheet in the front of each book so that the children can lend their books to friends. They will love checking out each others books to read, and its even more fun to see who has read theirs.

Savon de Marseille (Marseille Soap) with Pure Crushed Local Flowers

Product Description
Absolute bliss. Pure, moisturizing Savon de Marseille soaps with the regional flowers of lavender, orange, rose and verbena. In the Middle Ages, big blocks of gentle soap were first crafted in the Mediterranean port city of Marseille with olive oil from local groves, marine ash and sea salted water. The quality of these soaps were immediately famous throughout Europe and in 1688 French law declared that only soaps made according to certain ancient methods could bear the important mark Savon de Marseille. Now the most prized of all soaps in the world, our Savon de Marseille is still crafted by hand, in Marseille, just as it has been for hundreds of years. It takes the Maitre de Savon (soapmaster) two weeks to make Marseille Soap. The purest ingredients (mentioned above) are heated for ten days in antique cauldrons. Know-how passed down through the generations will reveal to the soapmaster the right moment to pour the mixture into open pits where it slowly hardens. Cut into cubes and stamped, without machines of any kind, the soaps are then set out to dry in the sun and cool winds. Savon de Marseille (also known as "Marseille Soap") is once again being rediscovered for its extraordinary purity, gentle skin care and ecological value. Savon de Marseille is recommended by dermatologists throughout the world for dry or sensitive skin, eczema and other ailments. In France it has been trusted for generations to cleanse everything from linens to little faces. Marseille Soap is totally biodegradable, requires little packaging and its manufacture is environmentally friendly. Authentic Marseille Soap is stamped with its weight in grams - allowing households to compare prices and plan their inventories. No soap is "greener." In France they are sold piled high on open-air market tables like produce, wrapped in craft paper. Your Savon de Marseille will be delivered without plastic packaging, carefully wrapped in paper stamped with the famous marks to prove its authenticity.

Customer Reviews

Perfection
I love this soap. It is perfect for travel since it has so many uses. It is gentle enough to use on the face. It leaves the body soft and clean. You can even hand wash your clothes with it. You can slice it to the perfect size you desire using a hot knife. Everything about this soap is so pleasing, natural, and crudely elegant. It is perfect and simple. I highly recommend.

Quite honestly the BEST soap in the world.
Ever since I discovered these beautiful blocks of olive oil soaps from this company "French Soaps" my skin is not dry and chapped. I don't have to use body lotion or hand cream. In the shower it has a creamy feel unlike regular soap, leaving skin soft and clean. Savon de Marseille olive oil soaps are unfragranced, but they have a clean, olive oil scent that I love.

By the way, there are other companies that sell "Savon de Marseille" but if you pay close attention you'll see that they don't have the rustic, irregular look of the ones from French Soaps. I learned that French Soaps is the only ones still making Savon de Marseille by hand (as it has been for centuries). They are poured and cut (resulting in a softer soap -- and softer skin). The others you see are actually machine-made replicas of the real deal and I'm told that in France these replicas are strictly for export -- they know the hand-crafted ones are the true originals and the best.
I LOVE these soaps.

A Must Have!!
This soap is a must have for anyone with dry, sensitive skin. I was introduced to this soap after a surgery two years ago when my skin was quite dry. Plus, I live in a harsh Winter climate and this soap heals my poor dry, scaly skin. I love this soap! Since then I have purchased this type of soap in Paris and through this vendor and the vendor product is identical to what I have purchased over there. I don't get to Paris often enough so I am thankful that I have found this vendor.
