If this is you in a funk, then we'd best all hang onto our hats for when you defunk, lol. Very pretty colors!

They look like they turned out great....love the blue pop! I haven't tried that one yet...but maybe tomorrow

Thank you Freezin, Vio, and MzChoize and soapbuddy!

Freezin, I love your pic of the Yukon river in July, it's simply beautiful. I take it you're in the Yukon? (I try never to assume, lol)

Vio, yep, had to sneak one in.... shhhhh, don't tell my hubby or doctor, they'll probably both shoot me. But the one gal who comes and stays with me just loves all my soaps, so with her help, we got everything measured out and mixed up to cool down and then made the batch. I told her the next time, that she is going to measure everything out, including the lye and get it mixed. She's hooked, I can tell already

MzChoize... hey, you're right, it does look a little artsy there doesn't it... like an abstract.

soapbuddy, I love those pop colors and am so glad I got them!

Bethany, they look wonderful! So you use one of those acrylic/plastic ball ornaments eh? I wonder if Michael's carries those year round, I'll have to check. I need to find something to make round bath bombs and not particularly sure I want a meat baller.

What is a snow baller? Who was it that mentioned that? Was it candlespa....or someone like that?

Scented, your BB's look wonderful there all packaged up, you go girl!

I wasn't sure if this batch was going to turn out as the green and purple were really thin, and the base had gotten really thick, but everything turned out just fine and I'm pleased with them. Let me know what you think.

As always, comments/criticism/suggestions welcomed.

Absolutely stunning!! I love how you got the swirls throughout the bars. I can't seem to get mine that way, but one of these days I will! Thanks for posting them for us to see!

Those look really neat!

Meridith, those look cool... appropriate colors for the fo, I'd say. I love my pop colors too and of course wish I had gotten more than I did, but hey, we can always order more! lol

jbren, these are just too cute! I bet they'll be a big hit at the party!

That looks great! Where are the cut pics? We need cut pics!

DB, that looks so pretty! I bet it smells wonderful too, at least it looks like it does! Don't forget to post pics of the cuts!

The 3 subs I listed above are definately interchangable with palm Kernel oil.....not palm oil. And I've been using them successfully for several years now.

I love them both, but the first one is definately my favorite colors and you did a fantastic job! You can send one of those directly to me....do not pass GO....do not collect $200

you can also sub cocoa butter, lard or tallow for it, but as always, run your recipe through a calculator.

They look pretty white now.. or at least a white creamy ivory, if that makes sense. Did all the yellow totally fade away or can you still see a little hue yet? They look great!

Gran, love your pvc soaps and the crinkle cut you put on them. And thank you for posting your pink sugar soaps with the VS. I was just thinking the other day how some of the batches that got made a bit ago with the VS were holding up, you must have read my mind (it can be scarey in there lol).

They all look terrific, but I am really liking the second picture top row and also the salt bar...light blue. Thanks for letting us see them!

I'm not laughing at all about your flowers, I think they set the soap off. And that Geisha Kimono .... wow! Love the colors there, they seem perfect for the name.

I know it's not what you had pictured in your head, but I'm liking the colors here

I made a batch last night and not only did I not use enough of the pop purple (for the base) but I just uncovered it and poured water off it....blech. And I'm thinking it's lye water...(bangs head on desk). I've never ever had that happen before in all these years. So yep, it's not only ugly, but I don't even know if I have soap.

Looks nice for sure and I bet it smells like summer! I have some of that coming, I think, if it ever gets here. Can't wait to see the cut pics!

*runs in and gets another big wiff of the pretty salt bars... sniiiifffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff* Ahhhhhhhhhh

Sorry to hear this is happening to you. Did you take a picture of all the items? A picture of them outside and then inside the box? If not, then you'll have a hard time proving they were put in there. It sucks, I know. I would offer to refund the price of the items that were missing, that's about all you can do, and then move on. You'll never know if the person was lying or not and may even get to a point where you start questioning yourself whether you put them in there or not...ugh. It's a vicious circle. Good luck to you!

Yipeeeeeee!

TheQueen or anyone..... why would you add Polysorbate 20?... am just wondering.
