Did another MP for the challenge, but unsure if it would qualify, but I like it, and smells soooooo good.

Can I just say O M G. I have no M&P talent at all so I’m super impressed.

Thought I'd post my other non-entry soap. I liked the idea of it, but it just didn't pop for me like I wanted it to. I'm just not liking the crooked embed. AC and TD scented with Honey I Washed The Kids.

My non-entries. While I am so happy with these two, I thought the swirliness was maybe more complicated than was wanted for the challenge.

ANNOUNCEMENT!
Hey everyone. I wanted to let you know I will probably send the password for the voting in early because my surgery is scheduled for next Tuesday, October 24th. I want to be sure I don't have to burden the other hosts too much. Look for the password in your private messages. Thanks guys!

I can't wait to see everyone soaps!

Thank you Jules!

Thank-you for dreaming this one up lionprincess00!

Your swirl does look like Squidward! How cool!

Lion princess, I can't post my entry photo until Tuesday night because I'm not home until then. That's the 24th. Are we supposed to hold off until the 26th to vote?

Hope your surgery goes well.

Yikes! I hope so - I thought the entry thread was open until the 26th. Soap is not cooperating with me lately.

Eek me too! Please give us a few more days till the 26th to get out entries in!

Life hasn't cooperated with me trying to get soap done lately!

lionprincess, thank you for the challenge, and for persevering through your personal challenge! I'll be thinking of you, and hoping all goes well with your surgery. Let us know how you are doing when you are up to it.

I made a few tries at this challenge, and my entry was the one I felt best fit the rules. The black and white one was supposed to have a thin black line dividing the white portion with the poppy seeds and the plain white portion. The embed was white with poppy seeds, and the outside was rolled in mica. I don't know why, but the mica turned the embed gray. I think that left the two colors pretty much even percentage-wise, so not eligible. The triangle soap is something I have been wanting to do, and I am pretty happy with it. I wasn't thinking, and the mica line doesn't match the soap color, so not eligible.

What an excellent challenge this was. It really made me think! Everyone's entries are wonderful. Good job, guys!

HEY EVERYONE!!!
Sorry, busy getting affairs in order. Yes! The challenge thread closes midnight Central Time October 26th. I will open the survey the morning of October 27th. So you have until then to submit your soaps. It might be a little late on the 27th opening the survey, I have to have another challenge host help me upload the photographs since my cell phone can no longer do it because of Photobucket's 3rd party hosting new policy. I will start pming passwords to you guys this afternoon and it might take until the morning for me to finish. Be looking for the password for the survey in your inbox. If there's any other questions, don't hesitate to ask!

Best wishes to you tomorrow lionprincess, hope all goes well and you get better really fast!

So I made a batch that is MP, and another CP. Still cannot decide which to enter. So I asked my family, and half said the MP, and the other half CP. And I am back on square 1.
