    New Directions Aromatics and Saffire Blue

    You know, it's funny because I was just looking at their site as well. They have some seriously better pricing for a lot of goods I need but I know nothing about them.

    Loss sucks

    Thank you all for the kind words. I'm petrified that I'm going to mess up the few mementos we have from her so we've tucked the clay impressions away and certificates until I decide I'm ready to handle the emotional task of putting together a memorial shadow box. The vet clinic did offer to...

    Loss sucks

    I'm not quite sure how I could go about making an ink stamp? The clay print they did is a clay impression. Would you believe it, the person that took her impression left their thumb print in the clay impression as well.... If you have thoughts on how I could turn the impression into an ink...

    Loss sucks

    Apologize in advance - this is long so I don't blame some of you for not reading it all (brevity is not my strong point). I did a bit of emotional unloading elsewhere shortly after this happened but I've found that I'm still not all that over it and talking/typing/repeating it seems to help...

    Gift Box Source Frustration: Narrow, Shallow box needed

    DH bought me a KnK Zing for my bday and I was really excited for the possibility of making my own boxes. I did just that. I made 2 dozen boxes....and I hated it. Folding and gluing all those boxes was the worst thing I've ever done with packaging.

    Snappy - sent you a pm. I know you check the boards from a mobile so you don't always get pm notifications

    I got a new toy!

    I actually wanted hot pink but his powder coater only did industrial coating so he didn't have it available. Bud sent me to Nuture Soap's website but I really just wanted his. I know Carrie takes care of her customers but for the price, I feel I got much more. Congrats!! It's always fun...

    I got a new toy!

    Surprisingly, the suppliers website just says "accelerates but still allows for swirling. Otherwise performs nicely with CP"...but ALL of the reviewers that used it for CP said they got soap on a stick, FO separation, etc. I usually put a mark on the top of the label for any of my FO's that...

    I got a new toy!

    Well, I still love my soap cutter. It's sitting on the kitchen counter because I don't have anywhere else to store it at the moment. Came down this morning to see my soap and was irritated, then looked up and saw my soap cutter and instantly saw little hearts floating all around it :D *sigh*...

    I got a new toy!

    When I unmolded it oils were leaking everywhere. The colors in the soap aren't actually solid (if i touch them they cave in). The whole bar is waxy and stinks. The recipe I used for this is one I've been using for about a year now but the only difference is that I subbed the water for aloe...

    Colorado Soapers?

    Shame you don't live in Colorado not_ally... I think a road trip is in order! My house is pretty much destroyed too but you can come over and pick through my wares lol! DH said he would BBQ if you'd like to bring your SO.

    I got a new toy!

    OMG, DH would have just died if I had started calling it "My Precious" He's a huge LOTR fan (I married a nerd...) Well, cut my first loaf with the cutter and i LOVE the cutter. The soap was compete rubbish though even though the swirl turned out pretty but i will probably trash the soap

    Colorado Soapers?

    Haha I'd be lying if I said I knew any of what you were talking about. Snappy, any place in mind? Or we can get together and soap

    I got a new toy!

    It's my new bud tank cutter! I've already cuddled the crap out of it for like 10 min. DH thought it was weird that I was holding it whole time he was talking to me about his day...

    I got a new toy!

    My new toy arrived today (after a terrible day at work it couldn't have been any better to see this box sitting out front). Care to guess? Hint... It is cp related

    Who has the best price for molds? Or should I build my own?

    Agree. My molds aren't perfect and definitely not cheap but I love them and they will last forever. Plus, they were built exactly as I wanted them instead of having to go with something that was pre-fab by someone else.

    What ingredients do you use and why?

    I'm glad to know I'm not on my own on that one at least. I will have to recheck the ingredients list when I get home but I was pretty sure it said 100% aloe vera. Unless I just made that up in my head *sigh* Maybe I'll have to try subbing aloe for water in an otherwise completely liquid recipe...

    What ingredients do you use and why?

    not_ally, I used aloe for the first time, did a 100% sub for water and I'm not thrilled with how the batter worked out for me :( It traced crazy fast and this is a recipe I've used before that I know works well for slow tracing so that I can design in it. Is that normal for aloe to have any...

    If you could only have one FO, what would it be??

    Shunt, I literally had friends walking through my house this weekend asking me what that amazing smell was (it's filled with new batches of Bite Me everything). I'm going to have to try the Peach Magnolia Raspberry though when I have to reorder the Bite Me. I hate floral scents myself so if I...
