You can try the scratch off cards too. 10% off, etc. You can get the stickers at Kangaroo Blue.com

Hi again. Lucky you to have the classes. I am making the one that you poke holes in it after felting and put an I- cord through it for handles. It is called the Booga Bag. Thanks for any ideas you might be able to share. Ruby

Hi. Maybe a clear egg carton would work?? HTH Ruby

Hi. I have added a few chocolate chips to my balm. Works great and tastes good too. No grittiness either. HTH Ruby

Hi! Yes, a Nonni bag is next on my list. I just have to decide on the color. Please share pix!! Thanks for your replies. Ruby

Hi again. I am knitting on double pointed needles now, but my next ones I will try the circulars. I have knitted off and on for years, but never have I used the luxury yarns. I will post pix when I get them done. I have 2 pairs going now.

I am also trying felting. I made a couple of small purses, and felted them. Too cool!

Have you tried felting? Nice new hobby. Thanks for your replies. Ruby

Hi Everyone! I found a new love, sock kniting! Anyone else doing this?

It is so relaxing. Right up there with making soap,lol. Ruby

I really like those colors! Ruby

Hi. The prices are great! I order almost all my oils from them and I have the beeswax also. Easier to weigh out too, since it is pastilles.

There is a shipping chart on the site, if you want an estimate. And, right, call Mike on the phone to order. HTH Ruby

Has anyone ever tried making handmade paper? A friend of mine used a blender to make the pulp, but I don't know what the rest of the procedure was. It was so pretty tho. She used dried flowers on it too. Maybe a google search would find some instructions? HTH Ruby

Thanks for sharing. Great ideas! Ruby

Thanks for the info Mostly Lurking. I finally got an email saying my stuff would be shipped on Tuesday. Ever wonder if some of the worst suppliers read about themselves on these forums? Ruby

Hello. I am having the same kind of problems with the Wholesalers Hub. I ordered on Dec. 3. I got part of my order, and emailed them about it. She said she wopuld send it out, or refund to paypal. I told her to go ahead and send it. My mistake. The mailbox is full when I email and no one is answering either phone #. Hope I still get the rest of my order, but what to do when I can't even contact them??

Hi. I used it for years, then had too much trouble with sink holes, cracking, etc. They must have changed the formula. I won' t use it any more. HTH Ruby

So pretty! And I love carrot soap. Ruby

If you have a Micheals near you, I believe they are 50% off this week. I think I saw square ones too. HTH Ruby

Hello, I have also used baby oatmeal in my soaps. No grinding and super soft. HTH Ruby

Hi. I also had great customer service from them. Ruby

Same here. Ruby

Hi..I usually have good luck getting off stickers with a warm hair dryer. Just remove slowly as you warm them. And also, getting them off when they are really cold, like from a cold garage helps sometimes too. HTH Ruby

I retab wicks that I trim if they are long enough to use again. Saves some $$$. HTH Ruby

Hi! I use select shades and I am very happy with them. They have color mixing charts to print out to help you. HTH Ruby

Hi. Maybe a Dollar Store to save on shipping? HTH Ruby

Hello All, Yes, I have taken soap making classes. I had wanted to make soap for years, after reading about it in the Mother Earth News many years ago. Life went on, and I forgot about it for the most part. Then I read an ad in the local paper about soap making classes and I thought "Finally, I am going to do this".

I have since taken a couple more soap classes, all CP, a lotion and lip balm class, and a paraffin candle making class. Take the class if you can, my instructor was very good and I learned alot from her each time. Good Luck! Ruby

Hello, I used the Joy wax from NG for years with great results. The last 3 cases I bought, I have had nothing but problems with. NG has a new diclaimer on the site about wax not being returnable..blah blah, and also do a search. A lot of people have had trouble with it recently. HTH Ruby
