I dealt with Corey when I lived in Waukesha WI; she would drop my molds at my house!  Sorry to say that she passed away a couple of years ago 

Recently discovered this software which is suitable for Macs and PCs.  I going to purchase it in two weeks time.  Happy to provide feedback once I have started using it!

I got mine at Walmart - in the pet section by all the bird seed.

That's where I get mine also!

I've been using Peachtree Accounting 2011, but I am looking to find another program.  I'm getting tired of all the expensive upgrades and discontinued product support for a program that's barely 3 years old!

Yep, I sell other items also - home décor type stuff - or foo-foo crap according to my hubby

I got the email!  Have a great day

Hi Jane!  Nice to meet you

Thank you!

Brambleberry makes very nice soap making kits and yes the lye is included in the kits as well. Once you start you will get addicted..

Thanks Steve! I know I'm going to love it...my hubbby, probably no so much

Essential Depot is very reliable and Steve at Soap Making Resource will do somersaults to make you happy. I have both the silicone loaf molds from Essential and a small acrylic mold from Resource-both are great and reasonably priced. Soaping will take your shop over and your pocketbook in the blink of an eye. You can get what you need locally (lard, coconut oil, olive oil) and make a mold out of a shoe box lined with wax paper and get your lye from Lowes. Just remember to wear gloves, goggles and old clothes when working with lye. My shop is stacked with soap molds, colorations, fragrances, oils, butters and that's just the tip of the ice berg. There are a lot of good videos on Youtube for direction and tons of threads to read about all things soap. You're going to love it but hate yourself in the morning.

Cheers

Steve

Thank you!!

I just did one from essential depot and it comes with a really nice reusable silicone mold. It comes with everything you need including lye.

I appreciate your input Going to check out those links; Thanks so much J!

I've worked with wax for years but now I'd like to try my hand at soap making with a decent, all inclusive starter kit (if there is such a thing). Any recommendations??

Great work!!

Welcome, Welcome!

Thank you!!

Welcome!! Can't wait to see some of your creations!!

Thank you!

Welcome to the boards - you'll find lots of people here willing to help and lots of inspiration.

Be careful though - these boards are just as addicting as candle making!!

Thanks so much! And you're right... this board is addicting, too!!

Thank you!

Thank you Belinda!

What is your personal favorite fragrance that you love to smell in your own home??

My name is Lorri and I'm addicted to wax/fragrances! Been making candles and tart for 8 years, but have just recently found this board. Seems like a wonderful group of people and thanks so much for sharing your experiences!
