Making GLS soap paste today. “Flying bubble stage” makes me SO happy!

We want pictures!

Oh my goodness, PJ! This made both my husband and I laugh out loud! So funny!

Thanks, all. Zero effect on the septic system. The only issues I’ve ever had with ours, and I’ve had a septic system all of my life, was using powdered Tide (the fillers and clays just clump up and don’t break down so eventually block up the system), and girls flushing sanitary products down...

Yay! And thank you guys for committing the time that goes into this. I’m sure we all have no idea how much you really give of yourselves for us to be able to enjoy these challenges.

Thanks, everyone....it’s a place to start, anyway! toxikon, I used just a titch of brown oxide in the base and then added a small amount of “organic vanilla bean specks” that I got from Saffire Blue. They were not even remotely scratchy in my test bar. I think I had about a cup and a half of...

I, too, am very appreciative of the work that goes into putting on these challenges. It does not go unnoticed. Thank you, challenge hosts, for all you do!

Thank you for sharing your story. I’m so sorry that you were dealt all this in such a short amount of time. I hope you’re finding healthy ways to deal with it all. Welcome home. We can’t wait to see pictures of your “therapy soap”.

Congrats, winners! Beautiful entries, everyone! I’m blown away again.

You are too funny! And thank you! I did see a few poppy scents out there, but shipping would have taken too long. I didn’t think far enough ahead.

I gel everything, and since I started using Carrie’s TD, I very rarely get glycerin rivers in my white anymore.

Voted. Thank you so much, newbie, for this challenge. You’re the hostess with the mostess. :nodding:
