I'm not sure this is the right place for this thread ... For Christmas our family does a gift exchange and everything has to be either re-gifted item, something you got for free or a hand made item. You can not spend more than $5 and that can only be to enhance your gift. i.e. a frame for a...

I made Mike's recipe for laundry soap for the first time the weekend of Thanksgiving and I am HOOKED!!! I didn't have any trouble finding the washing soda or borax in my local grocery store. The process was very easy and I was thrilled watching the as it set up with each wisking. I did wisk...

I found about a gallon or more of Palm Oil. I haven't purchased any since I moved into my current home which means it has to be at least 3 years old. So, can I still use it. I smelled it and it smelled fine to me, but, I don't know what it's SUPPOSED to smell like LOL and I have a head cold...

I decided to try whipped soap so I made a small 2 pound batch and put it in my silicone loaf pan. I was a little aprehensive with this concept of whipping it in the mixer but after trying it I will do it again. The key is being careful ... as with any soap making process. This is white tea...

A friend asked me to set up a vendor booth at her Women's Ministry Conference so I've been trying to get stuff ready. After my botched batches I have had some success :D I do all my soaps ITMHP so I don't have to wait to try them. They all need to be cleaned up but I thought I'd share some...

Long Story .... I was reading on there about making lye solution ahead of tme and then just adding the appropriate amount of water to equal the water that the recipe calls for ... so I decided to try it yesterday. I'm not sure what I did but WHAT A MESS!!! I had 21.5 oz of lye left so I...

Hi my name is Sharon. I'm a newbie to this forum, but, not a newbie to soap making. I've started making soap about 5 or 6 years ago. I started out with melt and pour, then one day while doing a google search I happened upon a forum. I joined it and started seeing pictures of these...
