Thanks to everyone who made posts about this soap. I appreciate it. It smells so wonderful and I am planning on working on another........who knows!

Why do you need citric acid in this recipe? What does it do?

Thanks girls! It's just a powdered colorant, I get from my supplier. I ask for a colour, she gets it for me. (She's local) The red is 'brick red' she tells me. Actually I just asked her the brand and she's getting back to me. This is the first layer soap I made. I loved Brenda's so much. Doubt I'll make it again. A little too much work for me!

Your soaps are always amazing, I have no doubt it'll be another perfect soap! Beautiful colours! I always have trouble swirling throughout the entire soap. It usually just swirls on the top!

This is a watermelon-kiwi layer soap with poppy seeds!!!! MMMMM It smells yummy!

Candleman, I PM'ed you

I looked on Ebay, at the bags, but the plain canvas bags look so 'cheap'. Some of the bigger companies charge set up fees. I saw a nice 'cruise tote bag' on the one site that was suggested but it had a $55.00 set up charge......! I was hoping to find someone who made handmade bags. I like to help out small business owners like us whenever possible! Someone on Ebay makes the cutest bags, but I'm not sure how to encorporate my logo into it. I emailed her but haven't heard back yet. This is the bag I thought was cute, but maybe in a different pattern. http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8261927156&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1 I could always sew in a 'plastic photo insert' and slip in a cardstock paper with my logo on it or something...........

Does anyone know where I could get a totebag/bag personalized, or even a handmade bag with a photo insert? Anyone make these or know anyone who does? I think this would be a great way to advertize your business, and possibly get questions from people who see you with it............

I always get those emails also. Stating someone adding an email address to my account, if I authorized it, click the link below............ NEVER DO THIS! If you have any questions, go to the paypal website and log in. Never reply......................! They try to get you any way they can because people are vulnerable!

I've been asked to do a 'home party' for my soaps at someone's home. I wouldn't even know where to begin! I was never good at public speaking! Would I start with why handmade soap is better than 'department store' beauty bars, and about the ingredients.......... The benefits of each of the ingredients.....the types of soaps I offer, etc. What else could I possibly say!?? If I made invitations what should I say to convince people to come!:undecided

Thankyou to everyone! I definately will take your ideas into consideration. Thankyou for the research on the plants etc. of Panama. I think hemp string would be a great idea. I do want to add hemp to the bar, so that would be great! A few twigs added is a great idea too. The idea of the tree mail is cool! Thank you so much guys! :highfive:

Vanilla Maple Pecan, my goodness..........Sounds good enough to eat. I love food type smells. Cake scents, bakery types.......they don't sell wonderfully........but I find Vanilla does. People seem to really love Patchouli. People are hippies at heart I'm telling you! I sell out so quick with Patchouli! I'm taking all the soaps into consideration. Will let you all know...........:highfive:

I got a soap order for a Survivor Finale Party.......Yes it's weeeeks away. The lady who wants the soap said, "it kind of goes with the whole...haven't washed in 36 days" theme. I was wondering: 1. What kind of soap to make 2. How to make a cool label. I was thinking of making labels with paper that is tea-bagged and burnt at the edges kind of like a treasure map would look, then wrapped with raffia. Any other ideas? Wording to put on the labels? Anything???

Where are these scents from? Sorry I didn't see where it said.........

I am going to place an order with Lone Star. Anybody have any fragrances you have bought there that you would say are amazing? A must have? I am ordering Warm Embrace. Anybody tried it? Thanks!
