I got this book from the library today and have fallen in love! It's full of beautiful pictures and has so many projects and ideas packed inside. You get everything from zucchini-tea bread and herbed butters and oils to wreaths made from your garden, lotions, massage oils, etc.... Every page is beautiful.
I need a response from the Author

Hi, I love the book! But the cold cream recipe and the rose cream recipes have obvious errors in the quantities of ingredients. Example. The cold cream says it makes 7 ounces....then it says to use 12 ounces of beeswax and so on.....12 ounces of beeswax and the other ingredients do not shrink down to make 7 ouncyues. I tried it and made a big mess. I then tried just 2 ounces of beeswax and it was perfect. I need a response back from the author if anyone can help me. I really need to know now about the rose cream. I botched it up 5 times! with the directions given, but it's the only rose cream I could find anywhere.
