Hey E... Anymore updates ....demonstrators, vender's , suppliers???

I checked the site and did not see any yet...

Would like to know the agenda before signing up...

TIA!!!

Would love to see some great vendors....and a few more sponsors.

Will be keeping an eye on this. I think Philly is about 4 hrs from me here in NY.

There is a GREAT speaker that I heard at the NY Soapers Gathering last yr and she lives in PA. If you like I will get her info for you to contact her.

LOL...yes, you will all be relieved to know I may not be able to attend as my 20th HS Reunion may be scheduled around that time. But, I love going to conferences and meeting all you CT folks.

I am always of the opposite opinion it seems...lol

I like the one on the left.

I am not a rustic girl at all....but these are cute.

VE...thats why I preach to you...say it with me...WHOLESALE!!!!!

I refuse to do shows...too much like work!

I do FR with 16oz Mason Jars. But I am all the way in NY and shipping would kill them. Good Luck!

Hey Val...I will take one of those bracelets....ya know you forgot my bday...lol

Looks great!

Does this scent hold in soap? Discolor? I need a good lemon for soap.

OK ok ok...so what you are asking is something like does the production of the candles/soap get in the way of the biz? If that is the question then I am a big yes! Sometimes there are not enough hrs in the day.....and then sometimes I am just lazy!...lol

Wow! Nice! Boyfriends who are handy are the BEST!

Yep, confused me too. Candles & Soap ARE my business...so how would they get in the way???? OK...guess I am still confused by your question.:undecided

OH the Hobby Cutter from FCS is the freakin bomb! I love mine...dont know how I cut soap without it!

Save your money and get the hobby grade one...it is very well constructed.

Ok...I want to be in the loop...wtf is THE TANK???...lol

Grump ya know I am beginning not to like you! I used to think I was talented...I have been proven wrong!

Girl those are cute as hell!:highfive:

If I had to wait 3 days before unmolding I would NEVER soap! lol

I sometimes dont even wait a full 24hrs and have never had a problem.

Post cut pics...looks good so far!

I will have to try the Vodka and distilled for home. I have some cotton candy from MC that is pretty good and some bubblicious. I just don't want them to accidentally spray themselves in their eyes that is why maybe it is best not to use the KY because that stuff is high in alcohol I only use it because it dissapates faster than the cyclo. I literally was slipping on my wood floors after spraying it.

Then just do water, polysorbate 80, preservative and FO.

I dont have the mold from FCS but I LOVE LOVE LOVE my FCS cutter! OMG I dont know how I got along without it now.

hmmmmmmmmm may have to look into a mold from FCS as I am partial to log molds!

LaVida you will find that people will go crazy over this. Especially Grandparents. Funny, I just got an order in today for 12 of ea scent I carry (8).

Your labels look great.

I like this text but the first picture.

I totally agree...text from second...pic from first!

Looks yummy. In my experience w/ whipped butters they hardened up to a week. So after having to (twice) take the butter out of jars to add more oil (to soften it to the consistence I wanted- personal preference which is different for everyone) I got smart. I would follow my recipe, then place a cover over the bowl and let it sit and room temp for a week. After a week or so I would add more oil and whip it if was too hard for my taste, if not I'd put it in jars. For me, I've never had a problem adding more oils and re-whipping. A great idea would be to keep track of how much more oil or butter you add for your starting point the next time you make this recipe. HTH

Did I mention how YUMMY this looks . I LUV it uncolored, it reminds me of buttercreme icing !!!!

I have never had to rewhip.

How did you get it in the jar??? My frist attempt at making cream soap and i am having a hard time finding a good way to get it in jars. normally i don't make things just cp. Looks great

One word......SPOON.

I use a long tea spoon to transfer my whipped shea and thick creams into the jars.

Looks great! Clean up is a breeze....SUPER hot water and a dish soap. I just run everything under scalding hot water and tadaaaaa...clean as a whistle!

Have never used Aloe in soap...but I use it a lot in my Lotions.

I don't know anything about this show so I can't comment either way, but I will say the Chicago show is well run, very very nice and you'll have lots of fun and get lots of goodies. It is a great show.

OMG I thought the Chicago one was soooooooooooooooo disorganized!

could you post bigger pictures? It's hard to see.

nope sorry, This is is the only way I could get it on here because of the size of the file.

BUT...Lemongrass isnt lemon!...lol

I already use Lemongrass in my kitchen soap...but thanks for the suggestions.

Why cant I swirl like that? You guys are pissin me off!...lol

VERY pretty!
