Thanks, yes I was thinking of Valentine's Day when I made them.

Thanks for the compliments. Yes, I find soaps that come out differently are usually liked by everyone else because others don't have a preconceived idea of what it should have looked like. The Sweet Freesia was a new recipe so I wasn't sure what would happen.

This is Energy CP:

Lemongrass Cut:

Sweet Freesia, This came out a bit differently than I expected and I had to move fast:

Thank you.

Thanks for the comments.

Here are the cut photos:

That is really pretty.

I order from Canwax too and now I want to try Saskatoon Berry. My mom is in Saskatchewan for the next few weeks so can't wait to try this scent.

That is stellar stunning. Love the swirls. *soap porn approval*

My rose soap freshly poured:

I haven't made soap in awhile and was anxious to make some.

Thanks everyone.

I agree they are even more beautiful as cut bars.

I also use shrink wrap. When I first started out I used saran wrap. For samples I put a small piece in a little bag for customers to sniff but love the idea of wrapping the sample in shrink wrap. I'm getting a new soap display made by a friend and the way I have samples now may not work.

I'll have to post pictures of the soap stands once I get them.

Kitn,

I own a mandolin and never thought of using it for M&P. Now that's a smart idea. Now I can't wait for work to be over so I can go home and try it out. Dreaming of soap ideas already.

Wow, everyone sounds so busy with all their shows. Hope you all did well. I just have one more show next week-end and then I'm done. One show I did this year for the second time was great but the other two were disappointing (one was a first) and the other just wasn't well attended and people just weren't buying.

My last one is one I do every year as it's the Christmas show of the market I sell at 6 months a year so it's usually good.

comfortscents,

Sorry to hear about your daughter and hope you do well in your space.

I love the green and the scent sounds great too. I started with M&P, then HP which a friend taught me then learned CP though tonnes of library books and help from forums etc. I could never get my HP to look that great so jumped into CP right away. I find that CPOP is similar to HP.

I also am inspired constantly by members on this board and the learning never stops and I'm always anxious to try a new idea.

Scented,

Yes that is the right link. I've used various suppliers in Canada and a few in the US and this one is top notch.

Kitn,

Here is what I've used and really like:

-Coconut (just got it and haven't used it yet, it's a bit different from the two Coconuts I've purchased from other suppliers. It's more of a cool scented coconut versus a warm scent. I'll have to soap with it and see how it turns out.

-Creme Brulee (just got it but it smells identical to another supplier I usually get this from and it's divine)

-Cucumber (tried this once for a special request and it's really nice)

-Endless Sea (just love this scent and consistently order it)

-Fig and Melon (nice and fresh one of my favourites)

-Gardenia (love this one as well and it's a new favourite, used it in soap and plan to make a candle with it this week-end)

-Lavender (this is great in soap and in soy candles)

-Lily of the Valley (my mom's favourite scent and it's beautiful)

-Oceanus (I used to work for The Body Shop years ago) and this one is a great dupe (great in soap and soy candles)

-Rain (this is delicate but really great)

Think I've tried their red rose too but can't remember and it was great as well.

Thanks for looking

Kitn,

Now I have two FO's to add to my next list. I agree I've had a wonderful experience with them even when they have shipped the wrong item etc. Good to know that Sensual Amber won't go brown either.

Oh ga ga goo that is so pretty.

Oh I love that blue and like everyone else I'm looking forward to cut photos.

I too like the design. Think it was meant to say ITP swirl which stands for in the pot.

Nice soap, I also order from Voyageur and love their customer service. I just placed an order with them last week and will have to try Sensual Amber in my next order. I also love their French Vanilla and Gardenia. The only scent I haven't liked is their Cranberry Plum.

I'm in Canada and Canwax (http://www.canwax.com) frequently has sales throughout the year on their Ecosoy wax and Voyageur (http://www.voyageursoapandcandle.com/store/shop.asp) also has sales throughout the year on their Enchanted Lites soy. I've tested both and order both types so I never tend to run out and I always buy bigger amounts when it's on sale so I have it when I need it.

Both of the places I mentioend might ship to the US as well.

Oh that looks cool and I know the cut photos will be fantastic.

The grape pop ends up going pink in CP soap and I think that is the only one I've had a problem with so far. Sorry I goofed here as I'm thinking of the grape neon from TKB that goes pink.
