Ruina

Maybe you can check out Crafty1_AJ Easy Goatmilk recipe? I believe it's a 2lb batch and it looks fairly easy to follow using canned condensed milk. I haven't tried it yet but will real soon.

Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Good Luck! We're all rooting(sp?) for ya!

Congratulations! Welcome to the addiction.

I'm sorry Ruina, if you wait about 3 hours after pouring, it won't mess them up.

Thanks. Good to know.

I'm using this exact mold from WSP for my daughter's bridal shower. Maybe you can mold the soap & put them in organza bags like I'm planning on doing. It looks like that's what Jbren did also.

I actually laid the saran wrap directly on the soap. I don't know if it will help with every fo though.

wouldn't the saran wrap mess up your beautiful tops?

OMG that is one beautiful soap!

Most definitely! Everyone say, "we need a tutorial."

Ladies, I don't know how ya'll do it at night. By 9pm I'm ready for bed myself and don't wanna soap tired. So I'm a weekend morning kind of soaper.

Donna, sorry to hear about your mom. Will keep you & Mom in my prayers.

Thanks jbren. The lye is cooked in that short span of time? Or will it still be raw?

Great thread for us newbies.

I like the microwave idea since my soaping pot is not really a pot but a plastic rubbermaid pitcher. So, what's the temp & time if doing this in the microwave? Would love to know just in case I have to do.

Thank you all for these great tips.

Scented, those are just BEAUTIFULLLLLLLLL

thanks for showing us how those neons will look.

I was going to do a tutorial....and then just panicked..yupper, I'm a mo-ho...I've decided that if I picked a quitting date it would put everything into perspective so..December 2009 is when I'm done..and I promise, January of 2010 I will do an online class...cross my heart. You'll notice I didn't include the floor in any of the photos...I still need to sell more soaps...I'm paying for that also....lol

Ann Marie, what do ya mean quit? No more of your beautiful soaps?

Gosh, I have to wait til 1/2010 for that tutorial you promised? I'm gonna cry.

I agree, those cupcakes look delicious. yummy!

It's easy enough to make your own. Just melt, color, pour & cut.

Thank you Scented. That's good to know.

I was so disappointed that the Amethyst Mica I ordered was gonna turn gray.

Angel91805, put that 24 gold back on your list.

Oh, there's a difference? I thought micas were micas.

Sorry, I was just looking for these answers myself & thought this might help someone else.

I thought bumping this up might help us newbies who're participating in the TKB co-op. Maybe we can have more experienced soapers chime in here with more results? We can use all the help we can get

TIA!

I purchased a few things months ago & had no problem. Emailed her twice right after with questions & also no problem.

They both look great. Good job!

Wow! It's beautiful.

OMG love that blue. I just love blue soapies!

love the colors. swirls ain't bad either

nice soaps. love that blue one.
