I had a hunter give me deer urine last year to put in a soap! Blech!!!

I think you're spamming my thread, not appreciated.

Stamp came from Anhoki on Etsy. They are great deep stamps and only ended up with one bar that had a little bit of a square mark. It was totally my fault as I hit it too hard and off center with the mallet!

No not the triple flower, the single.

I do! Waited to get it in the mail for this soap. Also ordered the flower. Worked perfectly, one of the best stamps I've used. Thanks for all the comments everyone!

Here's a pic of the new soap I made for V-day. It's Endlessly In Love from NG. http://www.flickr.com/photos/31103770@N07/5381972092/ I don't know why I can never get a pic to post...grrr!

I think that would work great!

I think it depends on where you get you PS, I use ICS. I tried a swirl at 1st and the brown eventually ate up the pink and it disappeared. I also start out with bright pink lotion but it always turns to a dark brown

I have tried several times over the years to find a way to make Pink Sugar look prettier...it's one of my toughest scents for that. I don't use VS, this is the best I could come up with thus far. http://www.flickr.com/photos/31103770@N07/5356036652/

Well I got some hard core soaping done this weekend! I made... 2 batches of Oatmeal, Milk & Honey 2 batches of Oatmeal, Honey & Goats Milk Sweetgrass Redneck Beer Soap (Pabst Blue Ribbon) Unscented Buttermilk Cool Citrus Basil Ginger Lime Sweet Pea Dragons Blood Endlessly in Love Pink Sugar I needed to make a lot more but there's always next weekend!

I use English Lavender FO from NDA. I soften it with some vanilla, 2 parts lavender to 1 part vanilla. I can't keep it stocked, sells as fast as I make it.

It seems ok if you plan to take a higher volume of cards to make it worthwile. It's 12.95 a month plus the %'s and trans fees. I personally don't have enough people wanting to use cards to warrant $13 minimum a month. The nice thing swiper for the iphone, ipad, etc is there is NO monthly fees to use it.

Just an FYI, I started making these a year ago and had the same issue. I left them to sit, just to see what would happen. The scents with heavy vanilla eventually turned all brown, cupcake and frosting. I'll be working on them again now that my main season is over and will be trying the vanilla stablizer next.

Kangaroo Blue Still has a website but nothing has been updated so I'm guessing they're gone too. I know some people were having issues with orders on here. So very sad to see Southern Soapers closing. They were the very 1st company I ordered from and Kelly was so very helpful when I got started.

Wine soaps will turn brown or always have for me. The darker the wine, the darker the soap. As for scents you could pull up a page with descriptions of different wines and see if you can blend something to smell like it describes. Some are heavy on oaks, fruits...stuff like that.
