Hi All, I have not visited/posted regularly on here in FOREVER, but I actually used to be Mod. Loved this thread idea so I thought I'd post a picture of my daughter and me, taken this past Mother's Day.

Hey there! I lived in Silver Spring for quite a while growing up. I'm currently not too far from you in Northern VA. :-)

I bought some from Candles and Woodcrafts a while back. They were good. http://www.candlesandwoodcrafts.com/woodensoapmolds.html

Gorgeous! I also would love to know how you made the flowers!

How much parsley did you use and how big was your batch? I love the color! Great job!

I use FO's from SOS all the time. It depends on the scent, but I love SOS. Great prices, amazing selection. I have some soaps that are a year old and still smell fantastic. Others have faded. Read the reviews other people leave for each particular scent before you buy.

I make a fantastic charcoal soap (halloween soap, actually). I'm not so sure about the benefits but I've heard charcoal is good for the skin. You can see mine here. Lots of people really like it and it's one of my absolute favorites.

I'm in love with my custom slab molds with dividers designed by me and handcrafted by my stepfather. No cutting, no trimming, no waste and I have the size and shape I wanted. The more I use it, the easier it is to remove the soap. Best of all, no lining!

Good luck, Ian!

Great! I've been wanting to make a favicon for my site too, just haven't gotten around to it yet... I already have Photoshop and just saw that I can get a free plugin for it. Thanks for reminding of yet another thing for my "To Do" list. ;-)

What's the file type of your original image? Some file types don't support transparency.

Too far in advance and your shrinkwrap will loosen as the soap shrinks.

Beautiful presentation Maddy! What size jars do you use? I have some 4 oz plastic jars but the mouth doesn't look like it would be wide enough. And where do you get your crates?
