Hi Lane, I have gelled EO's with great success. Lavendar, Ylang Ylang, Tea Tree, Lemongrass, Patchouli, Peppermint, Basil, Rosemary, Sage, Rose Geranium and Anise are the only ones I have tried so far and they all held up wonderfully for me! I have read about the citruses fading though...

Hey Woodi, just wondering what you decided upon!!

It will harden up in time. It won't be "rock" hard as birdie stated but it will harden. I made a facial soap with a lot of soft oils and it took a few months but now it's fine! Beautiful soap. I love the color!! Congrats!

You can add pureed avocado to it!!! It is so nice in soap!

I am not an expert but it sounds very interesting and quite lovely to me. Go ahead and try it!

ooops, just noticed you wanted a trailing plant not a climbing one. Sorry. Here are some cascading plant suggestions: Bacopa Bidens Helichrysum Sanvitalia You could go with Sweer Potato Vine but they aren't flowering. They now have a cascading Petunia (wave...

A Clematis would be lovely. Or if you want a fast grower, plant some Morning Glories! They will pretty much grow in any kind of soil and just need regular amount of water and sun! I love morning glories! Other climbing plants to think about are Moonflowers and Sweet Peas. Hope that helps...

You can take a sample into your local garden center. They should be able to idenitfy it for you!!

Oh yes, all the time! Just don't add too much or your lather will be brown. :oops:

I use wholesale supplies plus bases. I love them and they are very well priced.

I think it depends on what you are using them for. I have used them in MP and body butters and they were wonderful. I think they have a bad rep used in CP and HP. I haven't used them for either.

wlnb, The oil I just received is a light golden color and smells just like strawberries and cream. Every nose is different though. Maybe you got a bad batch or something.

Your welcome! I love concocting my own fragrances!!

You could always make your own! WSP has a dirt FO that is dead on. You could mix it with grass FO and a touch of lilac FO. I love that smell, right before it rains.

Oregon Trails has one called "Bee My Honey" and it smells just like honey to me OOB. I haven't soaped it yet so I don't know if it morphs or fades.
