  1. Impressive! Man...there is no way I can show a picture of my organization skills...my place looks as if a tornado went through it. But I swear I know where everything is...really. -Joanna
  2. Lovely...if you need testers let me know...lol!
  3. I actually love the colors...no advice but to keep plugging away at it...I don't make pillars...but I think it looks great!
  4. How sweet...I especially like the second one...the hearts appear to be floating!
  5. Thanks...I think I will try it...it is more reasonable than others. I'll post what I think when I try it...it is a scent that I wear so I can compare.
  6. http://www.starrvillesoapsupplies.com/ The above link here seems to work for me tonight. HTH:)
  7. Has anyone tried BCN's Pink Sugar? I am ordering some things from them and would like to know if they have a good one. -Thanks Much!
  8. I love the name and the swirls are wonderful!
  9. I love the variations of green in the first one...very nice looking soap...I'm sure it smells nice too!
  10. Well after thinking long and hard...I'm going to test another jar that doesn't narrow towards the bottom. It is too much of a challenge trying to wick something that goes from 2 5/8" on top to about 2" at the bottom. I think if I try 8 oz square mason jars that are 2 1/2"s all the way down I may have better luck. Sound like a good idea? Thanks for all the input!
  11. Are you talking about the "Off Topic" area towards the bottom of the main list?
  12. -Ya...I had to do a survival game in nursing school and decide what objects to keep from a plane crash choosing from a long list. Needless to say a can of crisco and a shoe lace is near the top of the list of objects to keep. Information I hope to never use.
  13. Very nice colors. I don't have the guts to try CP yet! I love sweet pea!
  14. Main Bath-carrot cake. Master Bed-icy peppermint. Master Bath-hot chocolate. -Testing all in 8 oz jj's.
  15. I have been testing my 8 oz jj's for about 3 months now using soy wax and am wondering if I should be testing them with the idea that people are following the warning label and trimming down to 1/8" or with the idea that a lot of people don't trim the wicks. I am testing between the htp 105's and the 93's. I'm finding if I don't trim, the htp 93's seem to work fine in some f/o's but if I trim they get pretty weak. The 105's do fine when trimmed but are possibly too hot when not trimmed...especially towards the bottom of the jar where it slightly narrows. What do you go by when testing? Do you assume they trim or do you figure they don't...like I often did before I was educated. The 105's seem fine in most f/o's if trimmed according to the warning label. Sorry this is so long:shocked2: Thanks! -Joanna
  16. I purchased a cd with graphics on it from her about 2 months ago. I have used them for labels and such...was considering using her for building a website but after the above problems I will look at a different company.:embarasse Thanks for sharing your experience.
  17. Wow...so glad I'm in on the swap! That is some crazy cool soap!:highfive:
  18. I use 1/2 KY 125 and 1/2 KY 115 soy. I add 2% beeswax to this and get nicer tops that look better after a burn. I tested just the 125, just the 115 and the mix and preferred the mix. It had the best scent throw and cleanest burn. I tried adding the beeswax to improve the tops and have liked it ever since. However I think most people don't add beeswax to just the KY 125. The best thing to do is experiment yourself and be prepared for a lot of testing. Good Luck and welcome.:highfive: p.s. The KY website has a message board that I have found very helpful. Vickey is very quick at responding to questions.
  19. Welcome! I use KY 125 and their 115 soy. They are all I have ever used and have had very few issues so far. I just test and test to get the right wicks for the jar and fragrance oil. p.s. I have 3 horses and understand the grief that occurs when they are sick...hope your horse is better soon. -Joanna
  20. I am speechless! Very Cool!
  21. I love it! Very cozy/country looking and my style of display.
