Darbla Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 I want to soap up a bunch of oils before they go bad, but I don't want to make Summer scents (got plenty of that I need to use up), so is it too early to make soap in Fall scents? I don't want them to lose their scent before the season even gets here.Darbla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darbla Posted June 15, 2008 Author Share Posted June 15, 2008 Ha! It's been hot as blue blazes here for at least 2 months now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meridith Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Heck no it is not too early. I'm starting mine. I think I will start with Cinnamon Sandalwood. I have a soap that I made about 3 years ago and it still smells wonderful. I just pulled out another and am using it and it is wonderful too.

Scent Cellar Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 No, it's not too early at all. In fact, I like my soaps better the longer they are cured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 I know I don't think so, but I've been hunting for some canned pumpkin and we don't have it in this neck of the woods yet. We have yams. For pete's sake put the pumpkin on the shelf lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbla Posted June 15, 2008 Author Share Posted June 15, 2008 Hmmmm.... I've got a can in the cabinet and hadn't even thought about whether it's in my stores or not. I just assumed it was there year-round.We need to do a 'pumpkin patch' swap. I haven't done any other swaps but I could get behind that.

Why have yams if there are no pumpkins! No cranberries either and I want cranberries. Could care less if summer isn't officially here lol.

CareBear Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Absolutely start now as long as you have a good place to cure them during the hot and humid summer months. If they are just going to sit around sweating in high humidity though then you might want to wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been YEARS since I had a baby around so I can not remember if they offer anything with pumpkin but I use baby food carrots for my carrots, oats and honey soap. I was thinking about doing a peach soap and using baby food peaches. There might be some other baby foods that might interest you to soap. Just some food for thought. Pun intended. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcso580 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 There are times in life when you just take a step back and say "duh"!!! This would be one of those times. All natural, no additives, pureed. What a great idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
