Burnt Mill

what kind of text are you putting on your warning labels?

the section cup helped me to take pictures of them easier

but I need it for the skull and cross bones one for sure as it is a tad to large to hang on the mirror. So that offers another way to put it in the car.

sandalwood is a really good one for my male clients

started making ornies took a bunch of pictures so I can work on getting them up on my website soon

I am having tons of fun making these

you can speed them up sometimes by putting them in the freezer for cooling(just keep an eye on them)

when I really get going and I need a mold open again that is what I do

I am going to try and crank out another batch of cp soap(hopefully my new Berts FO will be in today)

but my main project for awhile is to get a new shopping cart built for my website as well as update the new soaps I have made and haven't got up on it yet.

I also need to add the ornies to the site as well

so for me it is going to be a website weekend

I ended up with a tiny break in the holiday orders as my big client went on vacation before she got her and her DIL's orders in to me.

in my the gift basket making class I took last week

the teacher said that things like that plate standing up makes a great backwall. It also gives you a high point for the cello and the place to put the bow.

or her other suggestion would be to ditch the basket and just use the plate to hold the stuff

yours look nice, great colors

I think I saw them on ebay

and one of the people offered to do the engraved thing

propay is good, they have a call it in by phone option so if you have a cell phone you could call them in as you go

Hope you like them! The 2 I've used from your list threw great for me in my 50/50 (Paradise and Redwood and Cedar)

What kind of wax do you use?

I am thinking of some of these to be more for cp soap, also searching for some ocean type scent that will go good with my surfboard ornies.

I still might toss some into candles as well, I use just the basic pillar wax(genwax 145) from genwax.com they are a wholesale place down the street from me

samething happens when I cut my cp soap

not every bar and not everytime

I push the back end up against the wall and that helps some but it still happens

I go slow and I think I have it straight going down just comes out wrong, I usually end up making small trims trying to get it even again before cutting the next bar

I am having my dad build one of those professional cutters that uses piano type wire and cuts the whole log at 1 time

I can't take the uneven bars anymore I even thought getting that guide would help rather then doing it free hand but no luck for me

I placed my first order yesterday after reading all 25 pages of posts

(we were slow at work yesterday)

going to try out these

Black raspberry vanilla

Chocolate Rasp Drizzle

Apricot

Wedding Cake

Sea Glass

Redwood & Cedar

Paradise

Oak Moss

Cranberry (traditional)

Sweet Currant

ha I see it now

I had already moved past the main page and I didn't scroll down so I missed it

hey Tess I play WoW too! 70 undead warlock here on silverhand

actually am I blind I don't see where to sign up for your newsletter on your website

I have read(marketing books) they say it is best to mention the join email list in as many places as you can on the website. that tends to make people more likely to sign up

I know I need to work on that on my site

I have about the same luck I think it just takes time to build up a following

I have about 3 on my list which isn't great either

I also started a blog but it is hard to tell if anyone really is interested in reading it often. I can see I have views just not how many would be repeat viewers

still 1 person on your list is better then none and you have to start somewhere

if you do craft shows take a list and get the people to put the email addresses on there. I think that might speed up your list faster.

I don't do craft shows yet myself so I have to tough it out

how did your fire start?

I added the FO and Stabilizer at the same time

and at the normal time you would add it with a regular batch

yes please post a picture of the "new" pink sugar

I may end up saving my stabilizer for another scent if it does look to weird

I wouldn't worry about any oils leaking out

I used it in that wildberry zinger tea and the bar is just like when I don't use it

I made that bar about 1 month ago

the plan is to do a pink sugar batch in the next few nights, thanks for the heads up on getting some odd colors on that one

wish I could buy lye locally

darn California has made it illegal to sell

the drug people messed it up for the soap makers I guess

so I have to mail order it

oh those are great! that reminds me I still need to play with my pyramid mold too!

you did a great job on those, I figured tilting that mold would be a pain

hey there is a great post on the BC message boards that goes over the differences between soy and paraffin

and if you had the info you might be able to fend off that person idea's about how bad paraffin is bad

do a search in the candles etc. section

the thread was titled questions about paraffin dated 10/5/07

Leo's post a few down on it is great!

I sorta ran into this issue myself this weekend which is what sent me searching for that post. I needed to arm myself better for the next time I get hit with the soy thing.

I use dreamweaver

I just wondered if it was part of the cart features

if it isn't I can work on building my own

hey fast mals question if anyone can answer it

I don't seem to see a place to do a drop down menu(like for scents, or ornie shapes)

am I missing it?

I know the last time I went to update and add a few new buttons in paypal I had to click more button options to find what use to be the standard button I used.

I myself am in the process of getting the mals shopping cart up and running so I can use it when I get propay in the next week or two

so far it hasn't been too hard to set it up

you can give it a try setting up a cart as it is free and you don't have to add anything to your site if you don't like it.

my guess is it could also depend on how much they want to spend as well

those colors are beautiful!
