Yep, I'm gonna make some. I wanted to do it yesterday but the store I purchase some of the ingredients from didn't open back up for business until Jan 4th and I knew I wouldn't have them by yesterday. I'm thinking they might sell well for Mother's Day.

Good job Carol. You are brave to make the ball ones for your first time making bath bombs but you did good. What scent are they?

Beautiful colors and swirls! So did you add Saskatoon Berry juice to it?

Come on Carol! At least e-mail a picture to me so I can see. Maggie, yours look great! And of course so does Monica's.

I purchase HP printers ( have 1 color, 10 black & white) for work and toner cartridges. We are supposed to purchase compatible toner cartridges because they are cheaper and I've bought from different companies. The black toner cartridges do fine in the black & white printer but the black and color toner cartridges to not hold up. I was having to replace them even though they were 1/2 to 3/4 full. Now I only purchase HP for the color printer and no longer have problems. I will only use HP toner in my home printer too. I purchase my toner cartridges thru Best Buy, Staples or Office Depot and only when they are on sale or offer specials. Check online before shopping because you can get free shipping, get a percentage off, or buy so many get one 1/2 off. Costco also has good prices. Sign up for each stores card to get rebates, points, etc on purchases. If you turn in your toner or print cartridges to Office Depot they will give you a $3 credit for each one. They then will send you a gift card a few times a year.

Nice job.

You did a nice job. Those are adorable!

Simply adorable!

Pretty!

I like the larger clamshell tarts. The only other place I've seen them is Scentsy. The 24 cavity clamshells from BC only hold 4 ounces.

Wow, every single one is beautiful! How did you do the pattern on the first one and how did you get your soap so shiny?

Can you post a picture?

Congratulations! I know of so many people who opened stores last year and have done very well. I wish you much success! Please post pictures when you can.

I do buy other people's stuff to check it out but I also buy from people who've I've gotten to know through the message boards I go on and it's not to compare but because I like to contribute to their success. I feel it is more important to support small businesses than large companies who have become commericalized. Since becoming a small business owner, it has become more important to me to support these types of businesses since I know what goes into them.

You always offer it in the classies for the cost of shipping only or a fee and shipping.

Have you tried using a Wilton squeeze bottle or a hair coloring bottle?

I've ordered from them and have been happy with everything.

So you like soap made with lard?

Many people do not like lard in soap. You will definately be limiting your customers since vegetarians/vegans will not touch it.

Oooo, pretty! That vanilla stabilizer from BC in amazing, isn't it?

I would've never thought of using that to make the design. I thought it was some type of mold. They made a very nice affect for sure.

I can't wait to see the soaps. I've never made soap in PVC tube. What did you use to stop one of the ends?

I have a couple of them but aren't real crazy abou them since they use mylar liners. I bought them because I didn't want to have to line using freezer paper but that isn't the case. The soap always seems to stick to them. Does anyone have any tips?

My votives has a great HT!

Did you look at their FAQ section? Kaila (the owner) is also very knowledgable. She could answer your questions about her colorants.
