SCENTED!!!!!!!!!!! Dont make me come to Kansas! You have to come! Call me girl, we can talk...it will all work out. I cant wait to see ya!

As far as the Yankee Swap goes....Just say you want to participate and bring your box for Friday night. Nancy....NO FAIR! Julie will be stealing it now. hhhhmmmmmmm....guess I will have to make sure she gets like #2 or something...lol Everyone heard what Abbie said??? If you havent booked your room, you better get to doin it as the Hotel may be sold out for those nights soon! Much knowledge and FUN awaits!!!!

OMG...it is less than 2 months away!!! I am so pumped! If any of you have not registered yet, do so! You will not be sorry you attended. This gathering is so much fun. I still say the best part is the networking with other crafters and meeting people from the boards. Yes we do have fun at night, but that is purely optional. And no, not everyone who attends the festivities after business drinks. I, personally, do not drink a lot. So, if some of you are worried about it being a drunken brawl, please put that out of your mind...it is nothing like that. Please everyone....Do not forget about the Yankee Swap. It is a lot of fun and again, optional. Look at the website for details. Cant wait to see everyone!!!!!!!!!!

Awww Abbie, Thanks! You know how much I LOVE to sing!

Girl you have to come! Not only is the meeting very informative but the networking is the best! I live in Upstate NY (Steuben Co) about 20 min from the PA border and it takes me about 5 1/2 hrs to get there. If you are into herbs, infusions and things like that you will definitly want to be there on Saturday as we have a wonderful speaker lined up. The meet & greet on friday night will be fun also. The Yankee swap is a blast. We are also thinking of doing some mini exclusive item swaps...so I know you will want to be in on that since you make fabulous hand creme!!!! We do have fun, but we also learn and teach new things to the participants. So, get your butt to Pittsburgh!...especially if you can sing Karaoke with us!!!

You tell her Nancy! I cannot wait for July! I had a fabulous time last year and I know this yr will be even better!!! Anyone who is reading this that is sort of on the fence about coming ...SIGN UP! You will not be dissapointed!

YAY!!!! that time is coming soon! I cant wait to see all of you again. I already have my Yankee Swap item made! I have also been practicing some new songs to sing...you girls know I love to sing!!!!! We are going to have so much fun this yr. Make sure everyone gets there on Friday night. We are going to have some demos and a pizza party/meet and greet on friday. Cant wait to see my girls! and meet some new faces.

THANKS Barbara! And THANKS Meridith! I already use Dans Bands on my soap...have planty of those. Now I cant wait for next weekend to try these babies!

Barbara...I cant find the shrink wrap bands anywhere on that site. Does she still have them? Or maybe I am blind...lol You have inspired me to try Salt Bars in my molds when my buddy tlc26 comes up this coming weekend!!!! Great job!

I think I am gonna give this a few more tries. Sort of liked how the soap came out. 1st is Enchanted Spice from Moonworks 2nd is Red Sedona that I got from sockmonkey

No it is CP...just not cleaned up. I do not like the feel of HP soap...so I have never tried it. Dont think I ever will...lol Luci...the Almond & Shea smells great!

These are 2 of the Oils from sockmonkey. The ginger flower seized but I think it did turn out ok. I took out 2 bowls for a swirl. Used Select Shades Violet Red and Gold Mica for the swirls. Added the FO to the uncolored base and it seemed to do ok, so I added the colors for an in the pot swirl and they floated on top....so I just used a spoon and broke up the scented part and shoved it in the mold. Dont think it turned out too bad...and it smells wonderful! 2nd is the Almond & Shea. Soaped beautifully! I used bronze mica for the swirl.

I can see all three colors...Nice job.

Here ya go!

Tabatha....How about doing a yellow and gold swirl...what I mean is dye the soap yellow but add the gold mica to that yellow for the shimmer effect. As far as the coconut goes...mine has turned a med to dark tan...not brown...but definitly tan. I used it in my Veggie recipe, I think I am gonna try it in my Lard recipe next which is a much more white soap than the veggie. Rhonda...So far I am so loving your oils!...and you have to know me...I am probably the pickiest person you will ever meet! Great job girl!!!!

I used a discount with the patch rasp and it soaped like a dream. The coconut one soaped great too with a discount.

When you need Insurance, contact me and I can hook you up. Great Ins and super cheap!!!!! Even though I am an Insurance Agent, it is not thru my company so I am not profiting from it. It is thru a fellow Agent. Good Luck!

NICE!!! I am gonna have to try that!

I refuse to pay Patchouli EO prices. I have seen it as high as $70 a pound. No way...no how! This FO is so close to the real thing that I will save my money. Diamond K...I do Patch in a Hemp Soap so it is a cream color.

I got a sample of this Patch and it soaps like a dream! It is definitly the closest thing to Patch EO that you will find. If you are looking for a true Patchouli that isnt perfumy, you have to get this one.

The Banana Nut Bread from PEAK is freakin AWESOME!!!!!!!! It throws in Parafin and Soy. I have tried BNB from other companies...but I keep goin back to Peak.

I have used 2 different Gingerbreads and they both sell well for me...in my opinion they are TRUE. Peak and Tristate both have the best I have tried!

THANK YOU!!!! The last part is what I used!

Thanks...but still not what I was lookin for. I know I used to have something that was really cute...it was something about thanking the people for coming to celebrate the baby.

I dont know...its a toss up. I think the NG one has much more of a vanilla scent than this one. MW has soaped it and it soaps to a light creamy tan..I think I remember that correctly. I put it into my Dry Oil spray tonight and it is YUMMY!!! You would like the Ancient Incense...very earthy...so you know I dont like it...lol
