I know personally I can't afford the high minimums from large manufacturing companies and I am happy we have smaller companies online to sell their wonderful fragrances.

Being a small business owner in the past, I am always happy to purchase from small business'. They keep America going:)

The 2 fragrances I like from cotaproducts are Patchouli and the Lavender. The Patchouli smells like the real deal and the Lavender is soooo nice. I don't even like Lavender but I like their lavender.

My intent today was to pass on some good feedback about the products I bought and share with others.

I have been using Patchouli and Lavender from this company and am very impressed with the quality so I thought I would pass this along for everyone to see. He has a great deal on samples and mails them fast.

This gentlemen uses all his own oils to soap with already and knows how these work in CP. The Lavender is the best I have used. My customers love it.

WOW, gorgeous soaps!!

Very nice display.

WOW!! Gorgeous soaps!!!

Sad, very sad:(

Very nice indeed!

Great job!! YAH! It's addicting huh?

Yep, I get bags from "uniquepackaging" on ebay. They arrive fast too.

Those are very cute! Did ya paint the eyes and mouth on?

I am really liking the crafter's choice soap log mold. I make 2 pound batches. I can get 7 good sized bars and a few samples from it. They pop right out, clean up well and off to the next batch, and the next batch,.....................hee,hee.

Very nice!!

This is CP soap. I used some td and hot pink mica from TKB. I use the pink sugar fo from soapsupplies.net It's a great seller! It pretty much stays pink even after curing. Maybe a little beige around the edges.

Very NICE! May I ask how you get the soap out of the pvc pipe?

I LOVE your color selection. Definately matches "sweet tarts":yay: They look terrific:yay:

I just love fall!! Your display is sooo perfect! Now I'm DEFINATELY in the mood for fall.

Yes, that is one of the bonus' of being a crafter. My house always smells good when I make candles, bears, and soaps. :-)

I totally agree about the prices. I used to own a Retail candle store and sold it in 2000 to go back into nursing. After 5 year non-compete clause ended I started piddling with the candle thing again. It's hard to make any profit these days. I recently decided to call the candlemaking quits and keep making soap. :-)

Here is one of my wax dipped air freshener's:yay:

Thanks for all of the nice compliments:) I use Pink Sugar from soapsupplies.net

I also used some titanium dioxide and the fluorescent pink pop mica from TKB. The last batch I made did turn a little beige around the edges but didn't get dark at all. So far this is the best color batch I have made. I added the pink sugar crystals to the tops.

I don't know much about the vanilla stabilizer and worry that it might do harm to someone's skin. Not much info about it that I can find.

Have a great evening everyone:yay:

I use a 50/50 paraffin blend wax and add the vybar 103. I have made candles for years and this wax is the best for container and wax tarts.

Made this batch of Pink Sugar over a week ago.
