Great soap Lane! I am in love with this method! Also you mentioned ash, I always put a piece of plastic wrap on top of my soap. Havent had ash since! Mickie

Well I had never heard of this method and I am now hooked also.. Like I said bouncing around checking oil temps/lye gets nerve wracking.. This just makes it so much easier. Time is always an issue! :wink: Mickie

After reading about some of you doing this method I thought I would try it..Wow, I had never tried this method. So I got up the courage last night, and did it. Let me tell you, how nice it was to not have to be bouncing back and forth checking temps! It took about 7 min. of hand stirring to...

Oh no! Dont you hate that! I had a complete disaster the other night with Goats Milk.. It was a terrible mess! But someone else here had told me about the plastic rubbermaid drawer organizers.. I went to Walmart and got to of them- they are 15 inches long by 6 wide.. 2 inches high. And actually...

Wow, Paul-- if the "Insurance Co." was great then things are going well! :lol: That same day when our tornado sirens went off- I thought it was a test! I mean I have lived here in Wi. for 43 years and NEVER have we had about 10 inches of snow on the ground one day- and then tornadoes the next...

I have not been a member here long at all, however I can see that you are all pretty "tight" and back each other up. Earlier I had emailed Paul a question about a recipe and found that he (his home) had some damage (mild to moderate) from a couple tornadoes that ripped through his area.. Send a...

Came across these looking for different things.. I dont do balms but happened to look because they were cute..Dont know what you normally pay. www.chemistrystore.com/lipbalmcont.htm www.ContainerAndPackaging.com Silver and Gold Metal Tins As low as $0.30 each. No Minimums...

Thanks for replies.. I am going to be doing mostly CP, but want to play around with MP.. This SFIC, do they have a minimum purchase? I looked at their website and from reading it looked like you would have to order a lot? Am I wrong on this? Thanks. Mickie

Thanks Flynn! I get so angry with myself.. I never transfered all my info to disc over the years, and just a month ago my computer crashed.. Lost everything, including recipes, labeling info etc... :( Mickie

An earlier post made me wonder about this.Years back when I started soaping I had come a cross a small recipe 1-2 pnds that I poured into those little rubbermaid drawer organizers. It was a recipe using Crisco, and other simple oils like Olive, and Coconut Oil..It was then scented and colored...

I`ve done a lot of research on this MP.. However shipping kills it.. Where do you all buy your MP from? Who has the best, along with prices and shipping? Thanks Mickie

Zeno - what are Tetrapak containers? Mickie

Woops-- if we are talking about CP you can`t use cardboard type, or metals... If we are talking about MP, then I would not know! :wink: Mickie

PS.. The cheapest and quickest mold you can get is PVC pipe. You have to be creative and make an end out of some sort of other durable plastic. I had cut a perfect circle to fit out of a sturdy plastic dish (rubbermaid) and then taped really well with duct tape.. When I use to make large...

Hi Cara, if you go to Kathy Millers website there are a couple recipes that are super easy and you can get almost every ingredient right from your grocery store.. If I remember correctly there is a oatmeal, milk and honey recipe that fits into a hard plastic tray that you can buy from Walmart...

Faithy- I plan to do probably just lotion sticks also.. I`ll keep thinking, and thanks to all replies.. :D Mickie

Hmmm, it was the "little ol ladies" that would laugh and be the biggest buyers. They would buy for their friends etc.. I did do shows and had the questionable title named ones near me.. I had one woman order 40 for personal gifts. Funny how certain things can fly, and others just sit. Mickie

Soap Balls.. I always saved my "scraps" in separate bags.. Then would either mix and match them by scents, colors or make individually.. Take a handful and start adding drizzles of water until you form a hard 2 - 3 inch ball...Air dry a few days.. I would then toss them in a basket and sell 3...

Holy cow my post where they **** me made it look like I said something horrible.. Its only a THREE letter word beginning with S and ending in X.. LOL
