  1. This one was hard to judge just where to cut, as I had to just judge/guess where the embeds I made were in the loaf..Thank goodness I cut pretty much all of them in the right place!:rolleyes2 This is Papaya Mango tango The next one is just a simple one..Maui Breeze (Was supposed to be Water..then a layer of sand and clear sky) The Scent is actually Hawaiian Hibiscus...really Lovely scent) My Mother in law said it smelled just like the breeze when she was outside looking at the ocean in Maui..Cant wait to go there and find out if this is true!Until then , Ill settle for soap..HA
  2. I appreciate that, You can get the kiwi seeds at Oregon Trail Soap Supplies... Nice Gently exfolient.
  3. Hope this dosent weigh your computers down:) This is my latest CP soaps For my "BathPosh Co" line..

  4. Yes I have . With the recipe I used it turned a deep tan color. Also at first the scent went away and then came back the longer it cured (scared me for a minute:). I would use a higher percentage of FO for it next time. But it did smell nice after about a week.
  5. WOW Dee, Way to go!! Beautiful Colors on your first batch!! You are one adventuresome lady:cheesy2:
  6. Thank u much! Yes ma'am you are right.. That all does take time! LoL but who notices when u are having fun, right !?
  7. Thank you Ladies, I love creating new designs with this stuff! Jokerjen.. I have no idea how long it took..My dad was speaking at a convention and I was watching him online via webcast and would run back and worth in between layers like a mad woman when I thought the next layer had set!!HAHA Im surprised it even came out nd I didnt forget something!
  8. Have you Melted a piece of it and let it set back up to see if it still has that smell..Try that and see .Ive had smoke smell before , but it didnt stay in the melted product.It may not stick around ..Just a thought
  9. Oh I am lovin that!! I know what you mean, Ive made lots of things I loved and didnt want to sell/Give them cause I wanted to keep them..lol
  10. ICS (Snowtops) Baked Apples, Southern Scentsations Apple Pie, and KY Apple Pie are all almost identical to me,and another local candlemaker thought the same thing..Love them all..Very Rich scent from these companies! Some other places I tried just had something missing.
  11. Depending on the strength of your Fo..I start at tsp PP up to about 3% PP The scent comes out stronger after the soap cools and is unmolded. My vanilla does discolor my soap, I just order another bottle of Vanilla stabilizer for M&p..Love that stuff.Have fun!!
  12. Gorgeous!! I Adore color, so this is right up my alley!!
  13. Okay, my soap I got from the Coop (Well Dee anyway who was in the coop) is almost gone!!! WHAAA!!!

  14. Yes they are two Different Companys, and I think he just quit the biz recently if Im not mistaken (seen stuff for sale in the classies)..Beth and Doug are great!! FAst shipping and great Product/Customer service..Brenda I remember When they had their shop in their basement. I Lived in Trenton so we were like 2 miles apart and Now that we are 15 hrs apart, their shipping is usually Exact and AS reasonable as UPS will allow:smiley2:
  15. Mine has always been clear..Does it smell like strong Olive Oil? Thats the only way I know how to describ oils that go "off". Yeah It may have been accidently mixed up with another oil.
  16. HAHA!! I hate cutting huge chunks of soap! Is there such a thing as a soap axe?? J/K
  17. LOL!! I got in on that one and am still looking to see what else from there I need! I love the NEONS too. Im thankful for the soap as I was out, but now i need MORE!!
  18. Thank you Ladies, I so need to order more soap as it's almost gone!! The white in this is Shea butter M&P, so the plain white, to me, gives even more vivid colors! Get the Pops you'll LOVE them!
  19. I always Love looking at your soaps, Beautiful!!
  20. Sorry this wasnt ready to add to my other thread and I couldnt add i to the first post..Hope not to overload you with soap pics. This is My "Wild Diva" Soap . I needed to make soap with these 3 colors and Be Delicious Fragrance..LOVE this Fragrance!!. Those of you asking about TKB colorants in M&P..Here is some of there Micas.. The Pink is POP Raspberry ..VERY Vivid and The Black is Black Oxide mixed in with Glycerin, and the white is Bright White Mica.
  21. I appreciate the comments, thank you:) I have had some inbox requests and on here about the Popsicle and Lollipop soap instructions..So here it goes I was going to buy one of the Silicone Popsicle Molds but didnt have the extra $$ for stuff I wasnt sure how much I would use, so I went to the dollar store and bought 2 Pks of the Popsicle Molds for $2! Anyway Popsicle Soaps.. 1. I melt as much soap as I need (See if the packaging tell you how much each popscile would be and go from there on how many you are doing), 2.Add fragrance and Color I added egual amounts of soaps and filled 1/3 way up in the molds . 3.Wait till the soap is rubbery to the touch 4.Add the next layer. 5.When I poured the last layer I brought the soap up all the way to the ridge waited till it had a thick skin and inserted the stick. 6.When the soap was cool I put in the freezer for 10 minutes ad gently pulled the stick and out it came out. Dont force it or it will pull the stick out..just keep wiggling if its not ready put it back in freezer 7. The "Bite" I used a cookies cutter flower to get the bite look on the side. Super Easy! Lollipop Soap These are Just jelly Roll Soap with a Sucker Stick 1. Take Foil and make a pan by making side and pinching the sides .. I usually eye it But I think about 6ins across and 9in Long (Ill try and Post a Pic) 2. Take White (Or opaque M&P Soap ) and Cover the Bottom of the Handmade foil pan with a thin layer of soap . Spray with Rubbing alcohol 3. Let it sit for about 15 mins or so until the First layer is Rubbery to the touch and cool 4. Pour colored and scented clear base M&P Soap (Non Bleeding colors are what I use) on top spreading it evenly . It also needs to be less than a 1/4 in Like the first layer 5. When The second layer is rubbery and cool Peel away Makeshift Foil Pan, and Lay on clean sanitized Counter or Cutting board 6. Start Long ways and roll soap tightly but gently all the way done to the end (It should look like a jelly roll) 7. Cut off a piece form both ends to make it even from the rolled extra soap that comes out.Slice in equal amounts down the roll 8. let cool, stick a popsicle stick in the end where it can come undone..Package and/or enjoy Sorry , Im not a pro at giving instructions, I usually just throw it together in my mind Theres also videos on ehow that are so Much better than my measly Instructions.
  22. Thanks Ladies..It was so fun playing with all the soap the past couple of days:) Im still Learning M&P Im so used to CP! Dee, Thanks again for helping me out with all the extra soap!
