Seeing as though Chelsea has put up all of the recipes from our 'Thrifty, Nifty Ladies' Enrichment. I thought I'd better put up some photos from the night. Unfortunately I only remembered I had my camera there about half way through the night so I only have a few pics.

It was a fun night.

Stay tuned though because we have more great nights planned for the near future.

Super Laundry Powder recipe PREP: 10mins INGREDIENTS 1 bar of Sard Wonder Soap 2 bars of Pure Soap 2 cups of Borax 3 cups of Lectric Washing Soda

Grate the bars of soap very fine, either by hand or in your food processor. Mix all ingredients together. That is it. Store the powder in an airtight container and use one tablespoon per load. NOTE: * You can use generic brand soap if you wish * You can use 3 bars of pure soap, I like to use 1 Sard Wonder Soap bar because it has stain removing qualities. (If you use only pure soap it will cut the price down to about $6 to make the powder) *There is no need to use fabric softener with this powder, as the washing soda actually acts as a softener. This saves you more money. * Always make sure your water level is set correctly so the powder has enough water to dissolve in. * You can dissolve the powder in a cup of warm water before adding it to your load if you wish. * All of these ingredients can be found in the 'laundry aisle' of your supermarket.
