asheebeans Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 (edited) Coconut Milk Powder? Ooooh, sounds neat! About how much is it for a pound?ETA: I'm making a vacation out of this convention. We're leaving out Friday afternoon and staying until Sunday morning! I'm excited, because this semester has been sheer HE## and I need a break! (and a social life again! LOL) Edited March 22, 2011 by asheebeans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abbiepql Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 That's it...everyone deserves a break/mini vacation - what better to way than to combine it with biz! I know the Casino and Tangier Outlet make for good fun in between the meeting times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scented Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) Well I was going to test my tute out in palm, but instead I'm wearing the wax, inhaling the wax and I have a nice fine dusting of it all over my kitchen. I don't think I'll blow my money on that again ... ok I might once I get over being pissy about this. I am thrilled my bowls are here though!!! And I may have another company for you to hit up in time. I ordered some stuff from there and we'll see how it is ... when it gets here.

Abbiepql Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 Don't you just love testing new stuff? LOL I got some new ingredients today - in the perfecting phase. Will be testing new jello this weekend (not shooters) Can't wait to see the bowls...inquiring minds and all...I did what you told me with Lori and pleaded for a phenom bubble bar demo!

Scented Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Should have made her do liquid soap LMAO! She nearly died when I suggested it last July I found three good sizes of bowls that should work, all stainless steel. Thing about the palm is that it arrived with a busted bag, but I didn't know that till I removed the paper, which had probably a pound alone in all its folds. The stuff even got inside the bag with my fragrances and that was twist-tied shut. Terribly inconvenient at the moment. I hope I bought enough baggies to salvage what's not all over my floor.

tlc26 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Scented- I've only got one can of the stuff that is 2 years old so I am going to try to make my first batch of liquid soap this weekend. I will let you know how it goes and if I really am after more. I have to grab up a stock pot for it though I don't wanna use the ones I have they are for food.are the bowls being made with palm? nice! bet they are gorgeous! I may need to take some time off work and come make 'em with you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I'm going to try them in palm and see how it goes. I would have tried it tonight, but had to salvage what palm I could. Unfortunately it's going to take more cleaning as there's box fuzz in it. Need to clear my pots of lilac and wisteria and the rest of butt naked and then will go from there. No coming here without warning! I'll need some FOs from your way lol! I might need more palm too, but first I should try it with what I have and I need to dig out more things to embed. However, you're always welcome here We can test out a lot of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debscent Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Looks like I may be making it this year. Waiting to hear if my hubby can get off work and whether he wants to sit through all the demos and I should be registering soon. I've been out of the biz for awhile, but getting back in and this is a great way to start. I'm looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abbiepql Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 Liquid soap - why does that topic keep coming up around you ladies? Tabatha is brave, sounds lucrative, but maybe too much work for me. I found great big stainless crocks at Wally, not heavy duty like you would want for cooking but I bet they would work good for soap! Scented I found some awesome dried flowers at the craft store that would work for your bowls, they were for scrapbooking, so they were nice and flat!Deb we would love to see you again! I know what you mean about the DH sitting through demos, Derrick retired last year - but he drops in to visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Clearing my voice here, but there will be another guy in the mix and he may need rescuing from the other guys ... just saying!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Shoot me a pix of these flowers, cuz I ordered from SF (only to get the putka pods and some lavender lol) and I ordered from goodhopebotanicals (someone to check into for the gathering ... just saying) I have to be out of town today and hope to get a project done by Sunday or so that I can do what I want and have some free time (which 'll never happen) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NancyT Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Scented you are not the only one interested in the bowls. A few years back someone told me how to make them using a balloon that you keep dipping til you get the thickness you want. Well I tried it but they didn't come out quite like I had hoped. Yours sound much nicer than those were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asheebeans Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 (edited) I remember those! I think I saw that demo around 2006 or so. I'm getting excited about this gathering! I just booked my room and paid my registration. I can't wait!! Edited March 25, 2011 by asheebeans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Well 2 things ... I can't read red and you offered up bubble bars last year in discussion at that table ... sooooooooooo ... :laugh2:And you'll be great now about liquid soap ... if we aren't going to have a demo, then I need discussion on it, preferably private lol.I don't have anymore KaOH.. but would love to get some.JP.....I AM NOT REPEAT NOT MAKING LIQUID SOAP!Just making sure you can read it!!!MAYBE next year but not this year.And BTW.. thanks a bunch friend on the bubble bars tut.

Yours sound much nicer than those were.To me that's too much work, so we won't be dipping. And I'm a happy camper because I'm getting more palm I think that's great and all from the company, but I was really just letting them know their bags weren't too good.

tlc26 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Scented - youtube it.. just make sure you skip all the videos that just tell you to grate a bar of soap and add water. luminousboutique even has a video on there. I have been youtubing it for a while now. I found a few recipes to start with and I will let you know how it goes. I know I will not be willing to do a demo on it by gathering time but if I like it, maybe next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abbiepql Posted March 25, 2011 Author Share Posted March 25, 2011 In all fairness SYR did say she would investigate the bubble bar issue and if she could pull it together by the gathering she would *waiting patiently & crossing fingers * so... there is hope for the elusive bubble bar tut! I would do it, but I am up to my armpits in gellez - in my never ending quest to unlock all secrets *ush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abbiepql Posted March 25, 2011 Author Share Posted March 25, 2011 FYI...I talked to OBN today and they will be getting back to me on their status at the gathering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
