This is easy peasy in Adobe Photoshop with the extract filter. I'm not sure if its in Photoshop Elements (or whatever the "light" version is)....but I think you can download trial versions of adobe products on their webiste...

I like it! It looks nice, definately not cheap. I like the knot better than the bow. I especially like the jagged edges on the kraft paper

Dans Bands here too - they're the larger shrink wraps for soap at thesage.com.

Oh that would be good I did a lot of googling too and still didn't come up with much.

Hmm, not much of that showed up....I'll search again though

Yeah, I looked at that.....all are at least 150 miles away, and most I'm too late for this year (for the holidays anyway). The only thing left is a juried show with an average of 20k attendance.....a bit much for my very first show lol I was really hoping for something smaller (and closer) to get my feet wet. I know 150 miles isn't much at all, I am willing to travel.....its just getting started with shows is HUGE for me. I'm very shy, not much of a people person (thank goodness my husband is though!)....

At least my town does (Farmington, NM). If anyone else is from here and you have any luck FINDING shows, I'd like to hear suggestions lol It seems the only craft shows around here are specifically for Native American art....pottery, rugs, etc. I mean, I've got nothing against that.....it just makes it slim pickin's for any other craft. Am I just not looking in the right places? I cannot find anything about any upcoming Christmas shows......

When I shrink them, the holes on the end sometimes come up over the bar, you can see it at the bottom of the bar in this image.... Down the side of the bar is the little perforated strip to tear the plastic off. I just slapped on a clear lable and voila! Its not the best packaging, but I had bad morning (aka - all day) sickness and wanted to get it done as simply and quickly as possible lol

Ooh, I'll be watching this thread....I was just eyeing those the other day. I'd love to get a slab mold, but the thought of cutting them.....not so much lol

Thanks everyone. I guess what I wasn't clear about...I posted so quickly....was, the warnings against EO - are they for ingesting and using theraputic amounts? Or for simply sniffing? I've always erred on the side of safety and assumed ANY contact with any amount is what the warning refers to. I've just never been able to find any solid info on that... But, I think I have a new plan....I think I'll just get my husband in there and make him do it lol

A few months ago I made an eo blend containing rosemary. I'm 12 weeks pregnant. Even though rosemary should be avoided in pregnancy....I'm wondering if it would be a problem just soaping it? just get in there, get her done and let it cure?

www.kangarooblue.com has a natural line of bases. I got the sampler kit for $6, but I haven't tried other bases so I can't compare it to anything

Yes, thats what I was going for I want to be able to over pour and scrape off the extra instead of pour just the right amount....I'm too messy for that

If you can remember this number (I use it all the time, its engraved into my brain now LOL) 28.35 - thats about how many grams there are to an oz. So.. If you have 30 grams and you want to know how many oz, just divide by 28.35 and you get 1.06. Or, if you have 1.06 oz and you want to know how many grams, just multiply by 28.35 and you get 30 (or 30.051 to be exact lol).

I LOVE the oval lip balm tubes. If I get into making lip balms for sale, I definately want to get a filling tray...but I haven't seen them for the oval tubes. Does anyone know of any?
