    Yuzu Japanese Grapfruit

    I made this yesterday morning. ITP. I figured out that half the swirling effect is pouring it in the mold. I am going to do better next time. I do love the colors and this fragrance is lovely and easy to work with. Came from TSW

    Is anyone else having problems with photobucket?

    I didn't know if it is just me and my PC or a problem all over. I can't get it to let me upload pics. I have a new soap I made and how frustrating wanting to show it and can't upload.
