Very creative, your work is always A+ from the pics you post.

Mmmm that looks terrific.

Being hand painted and so beautifully done should be a terrific selling feature.

The candle and artwork are beautiful.

What a lucky mom you have. Very beautiful.

They are all keepers. I love the Asian sandalwood the most.

But now I have to try Jamaica Me Crazy. If I can ask. Where is a good place to get that FO.

Beautiful,

Now I do see the other colors in the last soap, I had to go back and look.

Looks really neat.

Mine are packaged and ready to ship also. Will ship tonight.

PA it all looks great. Hope you post pics of the shop when it is done.

The wedding goers will sure love those. Very pretty.

Those are so beautilicious...MMMmmmmmmm

Beautiful colors and swirls. You have mastered that on your first try? Awesome.

I know I would enjoy getting such a lovely and thoughtful gift.

Presentation is really nice.

I think the men will fight over those. Great work.

Lovely Lathers be sure to post pics....You don't have to worry about posting the pics of the kitchen after soaping lol :embarasse mine looked just the same.

LOL I need to get some more supplies, I can't wait to make a third batch too. I think this is even more addicting than making candles.

Post pics when you get them.

Robin your set up is really classy.(except for that wayward art piece lol)

I am sure if the traffic was better you would have been hard pressed to keep your table full. Maybe after that one has been around for a while it will be better.

Stacie,

I see you stopped at CD 20. Do you have a CD 22 to try? I would give that a go.

Such a nice assortment of beautiful items for her to just enjoy and pamper herself with. Lucky lady.

Can someone tell me how to know how long your soap needs to sit on the shelf? I did the tongue test (blech) the day I cut it and didn't get any zaps.

I sure hope that it was decided on half bars for the swap since I started cutting and trimming mine just to see how it would look and got carried away having so much fun I did enough halfs for the swap.

Those soaps look and sound yummy

Yea Pam

Your first soap under your belt, I know that feeling well, Have you come down from the clouds yet. Hehe I haven't. Everyday I go in and take a peek and sniff. lol I owe it to the gals on the challenge especially Mags for the gauntlet in getting me off to a timid start, or I would still be saying ...soon...someday...

You might be pleasantly surprised when you cut and find some shy swirls in there. Can't wait to see the cut pics. Yea Pam, Yea Pam, Yea Pam, Yea Pam.

ETA - Oops I meant your second batch. I am trying for #2 tonight.

Oh my gosh what a clever mold to use and such beautiful bars. Two color swirls, Mmmmmm someday.

That swirl you have going is gorgeous.. I also love the mold too. I can not cut soaps the same size with much luck.

GG I so love your avatar, it makes me smile every time I read your postings:grin2: .

Oh Heather run out and get batteries quick and share your pic..I love seeing everyones pics, almost like an adrenoline(where is spell check when I need it?) rush to get me going again..lol

Scented brings up a good point that people might want to keep some of their first soap to save for posterity and/or future testing. 

LOL I am thinking I might need to put one into a shadow box and keep it around forever lol.....

Half bars works just great with me. I have this one for now and will probably have another one (hopefully works out) before then that is done curing too.

Scented, you go girl, I will probably stick with just this one recipe until I feel a lot more comfortable with ingredients.

I think they are BEAutiful. I am loving your swirls. I don't think it is too much color at all.
