Thanks for the tip I am off to order some!!!!

I am looking for a true sandalwood scent for soap. I have ordered so many sandalwood FO's and none come close. Does anyone know of a tried and true one? Any tips/hints would be MORE than appreciated.

Off to the store I go...... THanks for sharing this with us!

Is this the same foam that the kids use for cut-outs? Gosh this sounds way too easy!! LOL

thanks ladies..... I am just having fun playing....and learning so much here it is amazing

The ladies in my family are bath addicts. We love to lounge in the tub with a candle and book. So, that is where I came up with the idea. THanks for the compliments.....

I agree with everyone here...they look wonderful and I wish that I had a scratch-n-sniff monitor!!!

Now that is just a super cute idea and the name is fitting!!!!

I am heading up north to my sisters baby shower and my family always buys stuff from me. So yes, I will be selling them. I figure I will mark them at 7.50 a set. Bear in tub is an extra 2.50....LOL

Well I have been soaping like a loon, and have done all of my testing for candles and managed to make some combos..... Cucumber & melon: Lilac: Coconut Cream: I am having way too much fun over here lately!!!! Thanks to everyone for your endless help and answering all of my questions! :highfive:

THanks Ladies I am so proud to call him my dad. And sorry I did not mean to hijack the thread........ I was just wanting to show that the anise EO DOES work!!!!!

I know the anise oil works really well with fishing...... My dad wanted me to make some and I did.....I cannot stand the smell of it. But I made soap, and spray........ He put everything that he was going to wear the next day fishing into a garbage bag and sprayed it with the spray that I made him and let it sit overnight. Then the morning he was to go out fishing he showered with my soap, and put on those now anise scented clothes....... throughout the day he would spray himself and especially his hands. And lures and what-not...... and look at what he caught!!! http://www.geocities.com/nuttyforsoaps/bones.html

I have just made a soggy soap this morning and it is looking pretty good. I basically used the recipe posted by crying moon. Looks wonderful. I added tea tree oil and lavender...also used oatmeal water instead of adding regular to it. (it was a special request from a pet sitter) She was thrilled when I told her that I saw a recipe for a doggy bar......... HUGE thanks Crying Moon!!!!!!

:tiptoe:

WOW hun, for your first try you did WONDERFUL!!! On mine I had a volcano....I soaped way too hot, but I got things under control and my very first batch is still my favorite batch! Great job, can't wait to see it cut!!!

I got this in my e-mail this morning and wanted to give you ladies the heads up: Unfortunately, due to current raw material cost increases (materials that depend on oil prices), we have found it necessary to increase the price of melt and pour soap base. Effective 7/12/2006 at 8 am (Eastern Time) the price of all soap base will increase .03/lb. Although freight prices have increased significantly, we will continue to have delivered pricing on pallets of soap base. To help with this increase, we will be open this Friday from 9am-5pm (eastern) to accommodate telephone orders. Current soap base prices will be in effect only while supplies last so please order quickly if you are interested in avoiding the increase. Our online store is open and ready to take your order! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call or email us. The WSP Customer Service Team www.WholesaleSuppliesPlus.com 1-800-359-0944

I am pretty new here and I am just flabergasted (SP) at how rude some people can be. If you do not want to pay for help then don't.....plain and simple, just trot over to a new topic and leave things alone. But to say such harsh things to what I can gather is a wonderfully talented and very kind and giving lady is another. Everyone here knows that they can google about anything. However the quality of what you get and how reliable are a whole different story. How many times have people thought that they had found a killer idea or an easier way to do something only for it to be totally wrong or even worse dangerous??? Just something to think about. I will be waiting to hear about the tutorials and be MORE than happy to pay for them. When someone works that hard and shows such love and care about something it ought to be worth more than harsh words. I am sorry but posting such things about a loved one on a message board is wrong on so many levels. I will go back to my quiet corner and wait for Donita to let me know when she has the tutorials ready. Until then we all need to treat others how we would like to be treated

Well it is really neat that this thread has started!!!! Just today I went and bought a slab with my 40% off coupon!! Never ever made a candle before inmy life....but tonight I poured 2!!! Wheeeeee I figured that since I am just starting out that I would give it a shot. I know that 1 of them is not scented right...but the other one smells wonderful (well for now) But time will tell (holding breath)

Thanks so very much for the info!!!!! I have a 2 1/2 foot loofah that is so flat. Just earlier today I was asking hubby just what I was supposed to do with it.....(giggle) Now I know the rest of the story....... Thanks bunches

I am wanting to try to make a foot scrub type of M&P soap. I have a really cute idea brewing........I have read to add peppermint & tea tree. I am thinking to add either cornmeal or oatmeal to help those rough spots......and I am thinking that I will have to make the bar harder than it normally is..... Does anyone on here have any ideas or theories??? I sure would appreciate ANY help at all

what all can we use this coloring in????? I love how the colors are so vibrant!!

can you post some pictures?????? Nosey rosey over here is really wanting to see what it looks like:)

wow you ladies are a wealth of information!!! I am in the same boat, trying to find a nice non-drying recipe, I am so very grateful for all of the responses here......as soon as I get moved I will be sure to try some of the suggestions here

By all means order some base, colors, fragrances, and molds and you are good to go!!!! Seriously!! It is just that easy!! But be forewarned, you will become addicted very quickly......3 years later I Am still melting and pouring away:) ANd if you run into any troubles, you have all of us who will help out:)

wow!!! Those are beautiful!!!!!!!
