That is gorgeous! I've tried it but keep getting jumplines..

Love the Sea Petals in B&B, but haven't put it in candles. Also Palm wood & Hibiscus, Woodberry, Verbena Bamboo. All in B&B

I'll 3rd the Spicy Apples & Peaches!

You guys are alot better at this than I am...thanks alot for all the ideas!

Thanks for the ideas and advice everyone. I'm just going to have to quit being indecisive and choose something. Tammy

I'm liking the Dragonfly Spring... Thanks for the ideas!

I'd like to incorperate dragonfly in there somewhere if I can. I'll see what I can do. Can someone lead me to where I'm supposed to check for trademarks? Is it uspto.com? I think I'm inept at it, cause I'm getting nothing.

Very true... I think I'll search just Dragonfly and a couple other things and see what I can come up with.... tomorrow.! For now it's time to eat!!! Thanks for the advice.. Maybe Butterfly Creek... it's a little easier to say...

I hadn't searched the names yet to see if they were in use, was trying to earlier and my internet pooped out on me. I wondered too about the length, those seemed kinda long to me. I do cp soap, body butter, hand lotion, bath salts, sugar scrub, dry oil spray and am going to start to dabble with cream soap. I'd say more rustic right now... but in the future I hope to be able to do a more upscale spa line. To be able to cater to both. For the logo I want more of an outline type, not solid..kwim? With a flowing font. So of course I need a name to go with that. Thanks!

I soooo suck at this! Trying to figure out names is not my strong suit. But I'm getting ready to start selling and have been dragging my feet about my business name... here's what I have so far.. Dragonfly Creek Soap Co. Creekside Soaps & Sundries Celestial Body Creations Ok, now I do live by a creek and we have lots of dragonflies..which I love by the way. I've come up with a couple logos for the first 2 from one of the free logo sites. Now the last one I was using printmaster and found a goddess type graphic that I was using on labels and such and I really liked it, but obviously I can't use it to sell. I just don't know...:undecided Thanks!

When adding anything to a base you must be careful about the preservatives. The base should have already been formulated with the right amount and adding more can ruin that formulation and cause nasty lil' beasties to grow...

Gotcha... did see that on your first post.. I'm bad about just skimming through. Thanks!

Thanks so much carebear!.... :tiptoe: off to bettterthangreens.com......hoping hubby isn't watching buy MORE supplies....

Ooohhhh.... I believe that's the swap I'm in too, at least I hope so! I've been waiting to try it on my bad knee....(really bad, as in knee replacement in a year or so bad) since you posted what you've made. It's very sore in the back and I hope this helps. Can't wait for my box!

I went to their site and they've got lots I'd love to try...but dang!... shipping for 10oz of product, less that $11.00 was $13.56! Wowzers!! I'll go to the GNC I guess for the charcoal..I just wish they didn't have so much that I want.. Thanks for the suggestion though!

Duh!! It's not like I've not ordered from there...brain fart! I've had the pink pepperberry from js and liked it, but it was weak to me. Of course now that I'm doing B&B it's probably ok. But this gives me another reason to order more from Backwoods!! Thanks!

Forgive my ignorance, but who is BW? I love Pink Pepperberry! At least what I got from JS.

Yeah, baby! Daystar definately!!

Yep, they lost me years ago when I was having problems with them not sticking to the jar. Never had a problem with stickums from other suppliers though. When I pointed this out and asked if it was maybe just a batch problem I was blasted for it. Steve's always worked well for me!

The first (or what I thought was my first) order was just for SS and came quickly, so I thought all was well and ordered again, this time several fo's. Needless to say about two months went by with no delivery, so when I checked the status of the order, lo and behold, I had another order that I had placed a year before that I had totally forgotten about! Never had received it! I emailed them about both orders and I ended up receiving a combo order. That is, a few of the items of the first order with the most recent. I know I emailed them at least twice with no reply. Needless to say, once my SS are gone, I'll be looking elsewhere.

It would be better to use an emulsifying wax instead of beeswax. Works much better!

Thanks for the tip e... I've just started making them and was starting to think about playing around with labels.. you've cut out a lot of searching for me!

I'm definately wanting the Mango Peach and Pineapple & Tangerine, and probably a bakery one. Glad to hear about the sweetener too! Thanks sporadic!

I just soaped Peaks Bird of Paradise the day before yesterday and it did wonderful..no a or d (at least so far)... it smells like heaven!
