    Welcome! Everyone here is so nice - you'll love it. Is your soap M&P or cold process?

    I'm not at the point of making of my own. I do want a base thats close to "natural" - if there is a lotion product like that. I have bought one base (off of E-bay) which I do not really like... any help is appreciated. Thanks, Sandy

    That rocks! I can totally see the cloud swirl action - good job!

    LOL - my bad! I was thinking it was a spot paid for by the city to promote the city. Getting a deal is still good!

    I couldnt view it - but congrats! I have friends that work in advertising for the local channels here and its verrry expensive - 15 seconds for free is fab! Hope you get alot of business from it!

    I just received this out of the classifieds - its quite dark orangey - I did a forum search and couldnt find anything about it discoloring - is it a rule of thumb though that if its dark it will discolor? Any help from anyone who has soaped it and knows how it will turn out is appreciated. Thanks, Sandy

    I just did my 1st m&p with imbeds and only had a little bit of 70% rubbing alcohol - so watered it down and applied liberally as everyone else said - mine did not come apart and I used alot of big chunky imbeds. I think its just how much you spray.

    I think they are all gorgoeus! How long did you leave them in the fridge? I've tried that on 2 batches and they both came out looking half - gelled. Thanks, Sandy

    I realized on the 2nd try that the solid oils did need to be solid - regrigerated them till mostly hard and they whipped up it was adding the soft oils I had the problem with - I am going to try it again when the weather cools a little - your soaps are gorgeous!

    I followed your recipe twice now to the "T" - 1st time did not whip up at all after an hour of whipping the first oils, 2nd time I got the hard oils to whip, but when I added the soft oils it all went back to liquid and could not get it whipped again. I added all the soft oils at once - was I supposed to do it slower? Is there a trick to it? Tia, Sandy

    Thanks everyone! The black swirl - I used hardly any coloring - that color scared me lol. The pumpkin I just made yesterday and colored with paprika, but it may turn brown still.

    From top left to right: Country Clothesline, Pear Glace type, LLC (which half gelled - I think), and Pumpkin Cheesecake. Thanks for looking! http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k203/skg1145/DCAM0074.jpg heres a bigger/less blurry pic http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k203/skg1145/DCAM0074-1.jpg

    Thanks for all the tips - I didnt add any liquids at this point, its still shredded pieces. I've never done a rebatch but found directions for the boil in the bag - but thought the crockpot might be easier.
  21. skg
    If so - how did it go? I shredded a bunch of left over ends and am trying the crockpot to melt them. Its a bunch of colored/scented ends and I'm a little curious how it will look - any tips are appreciated. Thanks, Sandy

    Not sure how comparable it is to the Yankee original but I love BCS Country Clothesline and have had many requests for it from men and women. hth - Sandy Also its skin safe and worked very nice in CP.

    Thanks everyone! I made a batch and I LOVE it!

    Unfortunately not, and I wanted to make this as a gift to give tomorrow - lol - didnt buy what I needed I guess. Whats the difference between the stearic and cetyl alcohol?
  25. skg
    I want to make an emulsified butter and have everything except the stearic acid - could/should I up the e-wax or oils by that much or just plain omit it? Thanks, Sandy
