OMG...have yall smelled this one?? I recently made a batch with this FO and I have to say that it smells soooooo good while it is burning and the cold throw is great too. I cannot put my finger on it but I tell my customers that it smells like a man's cologne. I have a friend who burns it while her hubby is working long weekends (pilot) and she said it reminds her of his body spray.

Have you tried "cappucino burlee" from Candles and supplies? I love that one.....it has the smell of coffee with the undertones of chocolate. It smells great while it is burning too..

We do our rubby ducky soap a bit different. It'a s 4.5 oz bar, and we sell it as a soap and soap dish set. Of course, we use the little aloha ducks.

We pour our base into a mini galvanized washtub, then pop the duckies in. Once set-up, we simply place in a cello bag and add a header card. I should add that the mini washtubs comes with a clear plastic liner inside.

BTW, for those who are wondering, keiki means kids in Hawaiian.

OMG!!!! How CUTE are those.....Please share where you get the tubs.

Hopefully it's okay to post this link. If not, mods, please remove this.

This is where I learned to do mine, but I don't put any dye in mine. And actually, since doing these, I have found that it's much easier to do aquarium soaps which is pretty much the same concept, but you put it in a square clamshell with white MP on the bottom for the sand.

Anyway, HTH.

What is the purpose of these little fish in a bag? They are cute but what do you do with them? Are they just for looks?

I am doing a show this weekend for $25, it an annual show for the local lodge. I did a show last weekend at an Apple Festival that drew hundreds of people for only $15 and they charged $25 for the whole weekend.

There is a REALLY big show that is advertised for months in advance and goes on for 4 days and they charge $100/day. This draws thousands!!!!!

Although we have to pay for lodging and food as well plus the cost of everything we have made, it works out in the end to turn a profit.

Ok, if any of you can duplicate the puffer fish in the children's section, please let me know how b/c I would love to have some of those for my kids. I think they would love those.

Good Luck with your endeavors.

If you have a Michaels near you, they sell little sweaters and such for stuffed animals. They also sell the stuffed animals. (little pricey though)
