Sorry about the late notice but I just saw the email. 25% of plastic jars through Jan 5 (Thursday) until 11:59 PM EST

Hello to everyone. I was gone for awhile but recently found myself getting back into soapmaking and making bath products. (This means my anti-psychotic meds had stopped working.) So, I'm returning to the forum which encouraged and supported my addiction. I may not have a lot to say while I'm...

Not spam so please don't ban me. I'm sure a lot of people have seen this commercial already. I think it's so funny and also clever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xjbO-0qaDU I made a comment to my sister how much I liked it so she sent me this link. I hope everyone laughs as much as I...

I made this with ACV for all the liquid. So, this turned out to be a apple cider vinegar, dead sea mud and rhassoul clay spa sea salt bar. It's going to be fun trying to do a label for this one. :lol: Also, I hope everyone will add a picture of their ACV soap to this thread. :grin:

I was shocked by the early morning snowfall we had the other day. I still haven't gotten over the fact that we're into Autumn. Anyway, seeing the snow inspired me to make this soap. Summer's End with lavender, lemongrass and sage. I'm low on essential oils so I decided to use FOs this time...

I'm really unhappy with how my finished soap came out. I shouldn't have attempted rebatching in the microwave. But at least I got it done so I will embarrass myself by posting a pic. For everyone's viewing pleasure, here's the video which inspired my sad attempt at paying tribute to Simon and...

Mustafa - I couldn’t find a lot written on DSM soap and how to make them. I did see several people recommended 1 T – 2 T per pound of oil. But other than that, nothing else which was informative. Maybe someone else can contribute to this topic. If I find more, I'll add it to this topic. I...

My aunt is invited to our holiday dinners but she but she usually travels to see her children or friends. This year she came to our house and seemed to have a good time. Today, we received an extra Christmas gift from her. I was amazed she was able to paint these in only a few days. We were...

Thanks to judymoody for suggesting a Black Friday soap. I also decided to use EOs and salt in this batch as an experiment to see if salt does help to anchor EOs. If this turns out nice after the cure, I intend to use it for the salt/fragrance swap if one does happen. Here's the link to that...

I was just reading a news article which stated Hostess is filing for bankruptcy and closing its bakeries. I feel sorry for the people who are going to be losing their jobs. It's not good to lose a job at any time but it's especially bad this time of the year with being so close to the holidays...

I'm sure many of you are aware that NG's Creative Crafter of the Year Contest finalists have been posted and it's now possible to vote for them. I haven't voted yet because it's so hard to choose. I'm impressed with all of them especially the crochet giraffe hat. I've tried to learn to crochet...

I've been reading and watching news reports about Hurricane Sandy and I find it the power of the storm frightening. I can't imagine how the people in the path of it are feeling right now. I'm praying all the emergency plans are successful. I've also been thinking about SMF members on the East...
