I've been in business for almost a year, and I'm definitely still in the red and will be for awhile yet. I've put approx. $15,000 into this so far.

I need to make 100 4 oz. bars for a wholesale account. The soaps are being made with concentrated soap nuts liquid in place of the water (yes I've tested it, and the soap turned out great). The customer is supplying me with the soap nuts to use for the soap. They want to know how much soap...

My husband came with my to my last craft fair and he told me that when I left the table to go to the bathroom, etc. and left him in charge, people would look from afar, but nobody came by the table when he was alone there. And he's a pretty friendly and happy looking guy. ;) The same people...

I HATE when people don't leave feedback! I've only made a few sales on etsy, but with all of them, they were large sales. One person owes me 8 feedbacks for an order they placed months ago.... Another one owes me 5 feedbacks and I haven't gotten them yet. I thought maybe they were...

Crazy how much the price varies... I pay $18 for the same jug at HH here!

I have used both oil soluble and water soluble TD, and I recommend using the water kind. With the oil, I found even when adding it to a bit of oil or glycerin and mixing VERY well before adding to my soap, I still sometimes ended up with little white spots of TD in my soap. With the water...

Is the soy waxed used to make candles the same soy wax people talk about using in B&B products, to replace beeswax? I have a ton of Eco Soy CB & PB and am wondering if I can use this in a salve. This might be a "duh" - but I just want to make sure it's okay before I do it!

She is probably talking about soy wax candles. They burn cool.... you can dip your finger right into the burn pool when the candle has been burning a few hours, and you won't burn yourself.

Are you out there? :P I have a question for you but can't PM you because you're no longer a registered user? I've seen you posting lately as a guest. Must have missed something! Anyway, if you see this, can you contact me somehow? ;)

I have a GIANT box in my basement full of them that I've been reusing to pack orders from my website. I've gone through a lot of them already but the pile still seems never ending! I kind of like getting them though, saves me money on having to buy packing supplies for my packages!

Awww, I'm so sorry to hear about Tink. She was a gorgeous girl and it sounds like you loved her very well. *hugs*

I hear ya... I have spent WAY too much money on supplies in the last month or so. I told myself when I placed the last order that that was IT until after Christmas. I have everything I need. My soap room is BURSTING with supplies... but I'm already thinking of what else I need. Sigh.

Sunkawakan, don't apologize!!! I didn't think your comment was rude at all.... I'M sorry if I made it seem that way! ;)

Thanks for that recipe! I just might try it! :) Would make a really hard bar with all that cocoa too.....
