I think the easiest candle item for me to start with would be container candles. I'm looking at Soy Paraffin blends at WSP, namely IGI 6006; the reason being is because they can handle 10% FO which is more than the other waxes. Does anyone one have any input or advice as far as which container...

I'd like to start making candles to add another product to my line. I was wondering if any of you could recommend a good book for beginners.

This weekend I did a French lavender. I wish I would have used just a bit more purple

Okay, this is the second time I tried this recipe (first time I screwed up a little .. sugar syrup didn't get all dissolved). Usually my soap is hard enough to unmold in the morning if done the night before. Can you guys go over it and see if there's something wrong, because I finished at last...

Here's the grapefruit jasmine I did tonite .. finally getting the hang of swirls .. :D

Hey everyone!! I've missed you all .. sorry I've been away .. it's been hectic .. applying to schools .. going to school, the kids, blah blah ... anyway. I wanted to bounce a recipe off of some of you more experienced soapers. I'm getting a little gutsy on this one, but not gutsy enough not...

Okay M & P experts; I'm going to give it a whirl because it's just simply beautiful and I love it ... ... and I'm going to have a nice long break from school in January ... and I'll go insane without something new to do ... plus I want to get the kids involved (because they're interested in...

Well, I started fostering again. I got out of it for awhile, because on of my kids got bit by a foster dog. He's cute as a button .. never fostered a doxie before .. he's soooo calm for being only 3 months old.

Well, I did my first show. I'm not enthralled, but I did ok. The booth fee was 40 and I made about 300. I handed out a lot of cards, and a man approached me about a private, initation only event on the river (those people have some bucks). We'll see; he took my card and my cell number and...

Happy birthday sister. I will drink beer and eat cake lots of birthday cake for you today :D Happy b-day to any other Marines on the forum. On a more serious note, every year around this time I try to remember one of my and Jon's dearest friends, Eddie Ryan. For anyone who cares to look...

Paul .. where in the world did you get that blackberry jam and mint fragrance ... it's wonderful .. I love it !! I must have it !!

Does anyone know where I can find a high quality body splash base ... I tried WSP ... it's good ... just not great. Any suggestions are more than welcome.

I made this a few weeks ago (maybe two) for the kids .. but they turned out so well I might make more .. just do a shallow batch of soap in a slab mold ... then take a flour sifter, add the micas/sparkles that you want to add ...fully sift your sparlies on the entire top of your soap ... swirl...

Finally ordered from Nashville Wraps .. I LOVE them. Great prices (equaled out to 34 cents a bag) got gift boxes, the supplies to pretty 'em up ... tons of stuff .. and only 19 bucks for shipping!! WOW. Thanks so much as your recommendation saved me tons of time and money. Highly recommended...

Okay .. my problem is that I'm running out of room. I don't have a problem with soap .. I really don't (If my husband would just quit complaining everything would be fine :D ). And Paul, you're to blame for all of this .. now I can make 9 pounds of soap a day. Any ideas .. where do you all...

If you use Roebic from Lowe's you might want to call your store and make sure they're going to continue carrying it ... I went last week and there were only two containers left so I asked one of the guys there if he had more and he said that they'd no longer be carrying it/getting anymore in...

I was wondering what kind of change I should bring to the craft show?? Is there a certain mix of 1's, 5s, 10s, change that you all have felt that works really well?

So I have this craft show coming up ... right ... well I got an absolutely wonderful fragrance from Flickers called fall harvest (cider with caramel, not too spicy .. just perfect). It discolors to brown though .. kind of boring. I was thinking of making a "shallow" batch of soap, cutting out...
