Ok my order is in. I can't afford to go nutso (ahhhem) right now seeing as I need to stock up on wax but I had to get the raspberry patch and some celestial sea and a few other odds and ends! I love that raspberry patch and I am definately not one that likes to mix the patch, I usually prefer it on its own but I am in lurve with the raspberry patch!!!!!!!!!! oh and Abbie--you totally got a deal! I will let you know when the first batch of conditioner is ready.... I can't wait to get a full sized shampoo bar! I might even have to buy some off ya like now!

That is awesome soap!!!!! I am not seeing this tutorial from the website??!?!?! am I having a dense moment?

I'm with Fire and Ice. ................... ................... ....................................................... full size bars for me. Only because I also want feedback on the grip of the bar, how it feels in your hand, is it too big for the first few uses, how long did it last for you (included is how you soap up) ................... ................... ........................ ........ ..... ... . . . . . . . . . . . . .... ........................My soaps are also about 5 oz. For free sampls I cut them in half.

I just ordered oakmoss from Backwoods. I won't have it in my hot little hands until this weekend and then it may be a week or two until I do any testing and it won't be as a blend, but I will let you know what I think.......................................................................................no floral in the desription....................................................................here is a link http://www.backwoodsfragrancesupply.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=376

Thanks for all the fabulous ideas. I ended up finding a bottle of puffy paint and some blue tempera paint and using what I had. I painted a blue base and did some free hand, henna inspired art (swirlies, flowers, zig-zags, and dots) I will post a pic in a few days! I will also let you know who won. They will be judging on Friday the 17th and I will be in Pittsburgh for the Candle & Soap gathering so I won't know until I get back to work on Tuesday night/wednesday morning.Thanks again!

So I just got an email from coach for an extra 20% off at the outlet store!! momma needs a summer bag!!!

Ok I am off to pick up our orders after a job interview!!! I hope everyone has thier orders in. I only have 2 from each NG and OBN.

it doesn't have to be themed. I have artistic freedom. It will be judged on most creative and funniest...whatever that means!great ideas! keep 'em coming. I dig the office idea that would be cute. thanks for the beach pointers too! I was going to put a pic of my dog at the beach in but I am not sure if we are suposed to include the pic or not or even if it mattersother are cool too....keep 'em coming

the funny thing is that I just threw out 6 bottles of puffy paint that I bought back in '06 to make a suck for a buck bride t-shirt for a bachelorette party

isn't there someone on here that was doing logos in bottle caps with resin?.................................................................................................. I swear I saw somone with a keychain made out of a bottle cap with their logo. could be a great promotional/marketing tool for your candle/b&b business

I have to decorate a plain wooden picture frame for this contest at work. I am a member of our 'spirit team' and they come up with projects like this and I am expected to participate because I am 'the crafty one' ha ha! give me some wax or some soaping oils and FO and I sure am crafy but not so much otherwise. .........................the only thing I can come up with is to paint it with a beach theme and put some real sand in the paint for the sand and maybe some plastic leaves for palm tree and glue on a drink umbrella or something.........................but I don't have and don't really want to buy a ton of paint and I don't paint very well............................................one lady is doing bird feathers and another did leather fringed fabric covering..............................any ideas! the frame is not large and not too small I have about 3 inches of wood all the way around to decorate..................toss out what ever is popping into your heads!! please!!!

Yes Coach outlet is an outlet store for Coach brand purses. They are higher end hand bags, in the few hundred dollar range for a decent size bag, but at the outlet they are often half off or more!! It is a luxury! I will pay more for quality and a lifetime warranty you can't beat that! They aslo have sunglasses, unbrellas, wallets, keychains, computer bags, etc. .................................................................................................................................................................................................... Reminder! place your NG and OBN orders, just a few days left! they will be picked up MONDAY!

oooh haaay!!! there is a coach outlet at the outlet mall across the street!!! who is going with me?!?!?!?! I know Terri will.......

Thanks for the short reminder Kimberly!!!The pressure! I have SOOO much to do!!!!

why don't you start by reading this section for at least a week to 2 then ask questions look through the recipe section...there is much to be learned before you just go adding things to your line soooo much! I started soaping several years ago and I still haven't tried every kind of soap but I did make my own basic recipe that I a substitute and change for different 'kinds' of soap as you call them It is almost infinte in the way I think you are thinking.change one ingredient and call it something else....
