Sherie

Here's a long timer coming back to say "Thank You" for helping out my girlie! I want to tell you how much research and testing this chica has been doing. She adopted ALL of my candle stuff and is really taking it seriously. For the "old timers" here on Candletech, you will remember me. Scented......take care of my friend here!!!!!!!!

CandleAddictRN you rustic "ROCKS"!!! Use some of these suggestions and the tools from the "box" and you will be very happy with your results!!!!!!!!!!

Julie, your too darn hard on your self girl! Your "pink balls" look fabulous! Just remember what you used (ingredients), how you were standing while making them, how long you held your breath and most importantly, write down the cuss words you used so you can remember them next time!!!!!!! I have to say I'm glad it's you making them and NOT me!!!!!

Well look at you girlie!!!!! I leave for a few months and come back to visit only to find your a soapin diva! Looks good sweetie!

Sharon, your soaps are sheer elegance!!!!! I just want you to know that posting this porn is absolute torture for me right now!!!!!

I don't even want to hear it, lol!!!!!

Girl, those are terrific. The colors are perfect for that scent. Great job!

Very nice!!!! Love the green.

Your "whipped" tops are rockin for sure girlie!!!!! Thanks for sharing! :highfive:

Very pretty stamp! Love the samples too!

Hmmmm, not sure if FO's are the way to go with pet shampoos. I know there are a few EO's that you can use for pets. You'd have to research it. I haven't ventured into that area yet but I have seen it discussed before. I have a teeny tiny long hair Chi and the shampoo and afterbath spray I buy for her has EO's incorporated into it. HTH

Candlebean, I have a sterlite storage box that I can use any colored paper or fabric inside for deco and use a light on either side as a light box. It's make-shift but it works for a lot less money. Try it first to see if gives you the look your wanting. You don't have to spend a lot of money on a light box. Go to the goodwill or dollar store and find a childs babydoll playpen. You can cut out the netting and drape a shear cloth over it and place your lights on the outside sides and use that as a lightbox. Another idea, get a pendiflex file frame and put it together, drape a shear fabric over it and place your lights on either side. There are lots of things you can do without spending $50-$70. Another thought, Prairieannie showed me a little trick that I can use in my graphic software where I can take the pic any where and cut out the image and place it on any background I want. HTH

I've been away for a bit but OMG Brenda, your LS and packaging are awesome!!!!! Thanks for sharing your tips and links! :highfive:

Awesome soaps GC. The colors are very vibrant and your tops are magnificant. I love the name change for Solas Hayride! Do you mind telling us what you used for coloring?

If you are only going to do a couple I would have them embroidered. You can probably find someone locally who can embroider them reasonable.

Carol, my mom has been doing embroidery stuff for a while now. She's has the big fancy equipment. Your logo would have to be digitized and that requires a set up and degitize fee. For only one or two shirts, I wouldn't recommend the embroidery route. Just speaking from personal experience.

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous Val!!!!!!! I love the emerald one in the first group of pics. All of them are truly fabulous! :highfive:

Congrats on some beautiful "firsts"!!!!! The addiction is just beginning sweetie. Hold on for the ride of your life, lol! :highfive:

Absolutely awesome bombs Jenn! Even though I don't make them, I'd love to hear how you did those too! Congrats!

Great job MaryAnn!! Those will make very nice gift baskets for Father's Day. I love, love, love the Tsuanmi! :highfive:

Gorgeous baskets MaryAnn!!!!!

Great job Ashlie!!!

My brain cells are functioning at full capacity at this moment, lol.

LOL, glad you liked it. Not only were my brain cells NOT functioning at full capacity, my fingers weren't either. My post should have read "aren't" functioning instead of "are"!

Tanna, once the wound is completely closed and sutures removed (it will still be pink), you can use the Mederma. It's a little pricey but I've heard it has good results on fresh scars.

Beautiful soaps AJ!!!!! What about calling it Bourdeax Mint? My brain cells are functioning at full capacity at this moment, lol.

Nugget needs a friend -- the Boy King!

Given the fact that Nugget could pass for Peabodys sibling, you better include Peabody on Nuggets "buddy" list!!!!!! LOL I'm not really sure why but surveys show a lot of people aren't attracted to orange cats. I have to admit when Ashley brought Peabody home my first thought was "orange!" That being said, I've own several cats in my long, old age and I have to admit, Peabody is by far the best cat I've ever owned. He has personality plus and woudln't trade him for anything. I'm totally drawn to orange cats now, lol. It's kinda weird, his orangeness has mellowed to a "fawn" color. Julie can vouch for this booger!s character. He doesn't lay on my printer but does like to lounge on top of my monitor. I'm suspecting, like you, they are drawn to the heat.

Brenda, your soaps are just fabulous!

I'm a L&D RN and we give our mom's the lanolish (I think that's how you spell it). It's a standing order at our hospital. Not harmful to the baby and works great!
