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...

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

Or at least I used to.... 8-) now I'm just bored with them Saddest part is that not a single one of the 217 of them has been burned or melted and there is jewelry in every one of them

Has anyone used their Sodium Hydroxide before? They have a really good price on it and I am considering buying more to stock up for when my batched lye runs out. I've bought a ton of other things from them but never that.

Made DH run me to a few goodwill shops while out today and I think I did ok! Got new molds and some display stands. Best part - the cone mold is the EXACT one I just bought off someone on Facebook so I'll be able to make a ton! Oh and this sucker! I can finally try out soap cakes!

Just got an email saying that BA added 100 new FO's and they're doing an 18% off sale on all FO's. Just have to use the coupon code "fragrance18" I've seen enough of you call yourself FO HO's so figured someone might benefit from that ;) :lol:

I've seen soapers add "leaf" embeds to their soaps and for the life of me I can't find a good mold for a SMALL leaf. Does anyone have any recommendations for a mold, or at least a process for doing it? I suppose I could take an xacto knife and cut out small leaves by hand and then score them...

I know Snappy is in CO, but wondering if anyone else also shares this beautiful state? I'm going to be in Denver on Tues evening and it would be great to meet some other soapers if anyone would be interested in grabbing a drink or coffee (if you're an evening coffee drinker that is).

I just had the coolest experience ever that may potentially turn into legitimate business and I was just so flattered that it happened! So two of my cousins (plus a wife and a friend) are in town, Denver, at the moment for various reasons and they both wanted to get together to do breakfast...

I just trimmed and planed 200 soap bars, and wrapped 100 bath bombs. I would happily never touch a planer again for a VERY long time, but at least I didn't trim a fingertip in the process! I still have to label more than half of everything though before I go to bed *sigh*:???: The quilt show...

I've been eyeing tank cutters for a while and just can't decide. I know people RAVE about their Bud cutters, but wondering if anyone has any feedback on the ones sold by Nurture? I really like the pink (ALL my soap supplies are either bright blue or pink...I like the colors and it keeps my...

So I made a mardi gras themed soap a couple days ago and it was FINALLY hard enough for me to cut tonight. My colors entirely morphed on me except the purple, but I suppose it still turned out ok. Was shooting for purple, green and yellow - instead I got purple, blue and orange. It does smell...

So I really am struggling to achieve really good neons in my CP soaps. I can get semi vibrant colors but never even get close to the tests I've seen suppliers advertise. The majority of my neons are from Mad Oils and Nurture Soaps. I've tried adding TD and then mixing in the colors, I've even...

Did any other Amazon Prime member snag an Echo/Alexa when the invites were available? If so, has anyone else hooked up her to your house? Considering getting the Phillips homelink stuff to control lights and door locks but not 100% sold yet.

THIS GIRL! Since everyone bailed on me today to celebrate the death of my 20's, I've decided I'm going to spend the day master batching lye and oils... So first a trip to the cupcake shop downtown, then target to pick up some containers, then soapy stuff the rest of the day! DH was...

Decided I had nothing better to do now that DH is tdy for a while so I cleaned up my craft room/office and look what I found! I had completely forgotten I still had this pair left. I used to make them all the time and they sold like crazy (never underestimate a geek's love of comics... Taught to...

Does anyone else keep all their boxes and packaging they get when they ordered something in the mail? I've found myself hoarding every box, packing peanut, bubble wrap that I get any time I have something mailed to me thinking that I can reuse it, and I'm starting to wonder if it's really all...

I've been talking about wanting to chuck my circuit for a while now because I'm tired of needing to buy an entire cartridge just for 1 or 2 images I need and I can't create my own images. He was snooping over my shoulder a while back when I was looking at new cutters and saw that I was reading...

So I had a request from a family member to make them a soap loaf with lanolin and aloe - neither products I've used yet. In doing some research it appears there are several forms of both products. So, which do you prefer (or will work best): aloe gel, aloe juice, aloe butter or aloe oil...

I have some changes I need to make but overall I'm pretty happy with how it looks. The label that is.
