SMF Soapmaking Challenge November: Drop and Skewer

[lionprincess00]

I posted it in view mode, so if you voted or had trouble voting, please retry now. Thank you to saponista for her tremendous help this month!:clap:

I sincerely appreciate all your kind thoughts. After the funeral tomorrow we will have a bit of quiet time at home.

I love your thanksgiving holiday and determined to be thankful for the time we had with our beautiful son.

I'm sorry to break in here, but it appears some may have erroneously voted for more than three soaps. While I consult the challenge mods, please everyone only vote for the top 3 entries. Thank you!

Arg. I didn't get my soap made. I had a large 2-day sale this weekend and it completely consumed my time.

Sorry to all those who have lost loved ones recently. So sad to see those posts.

I noticed that every time I touched a photo it automatically got ticked. I had to go back through a couple of times to ensure I got the right ones.

Usually it prevents you from voting for more than three as it won't let it go through. Isn't it doing that this time?

This time it seems no limit was selected.
I went in and fixed it to only let you do exactly 3, but I had to make a new survey. Those of you that have already voted will need to revote (sorry). I'm waiting to hear the a-ok back from lionprincess to post the link.

 

[Saponista]

Thanks Galaxy, that was my fault I think. I helped lionprincess to set up the survey, but failed to set the limit! Sorry everyone!

 

[galaxyMLP]

It's no big deal! It's not the best website/set up. It's hard to find all the features. In the future, you can just copy one survey that already exists and youll just have to change the responses. You can rename it something different of course!

Ok, I've gotten the go ahead. This is the correct link now! Only use this link to complete the survey please!

If anyone needs clarification on why we had to make a new survey please let me know. This new survey will only allow 3 responses to be made. Everyone needs to revote who has already voted please. Thank you everyone for your understanding!

Went and re voted

Here is my other attempt. I liked both, but the other was my favorite. This is scented with black raspberry vanilla from nurture.

Now see, that looks like it should be called Black raspberry vanilla! (I'm envisioning warm black raspberry pie with ice cream oozing all around it!)

 

[lionprincess00]

Thank you both galaxy and saponista for helping me out!!! I had such a struggle this month working off a cell. Yes, please if you voted in the first go back and revote! Good luck to all, and prayers to all struggling with tragedy right now.

I voted, but really would have liked to have had about 6 more votes to give. So many beautiful entries.

Just cut... the pink nightmare continues inside where my lack of restraint with the colors is echoed in the pour and skewering.

Snappy, My 10 year old daughter has been watching me soap and the videos and looking through the soap results posts and LOVES your pink/purple explosion! It is her favorite of all the drop swirls!

 

[DeeAnna]

I haveta say the "pink nightmare" soap might not look like you wanted it to ... but it sure is eye catching and bold. I know a few girlfriends, big and little, who would like it a lot!

 

[aprice522]

I couldn't enter, but today my daughter and I were able to work on this and decided to do it. My daughter is 10 and chose the colors and watched the videos and have scrolled through all the entries and she wanted to have me try it.

We watched the video, she kept pausing so I could do the pouring and dropping and stuff. We are both crazy waiting for it to be cut tomorrow. But here is our product post pour.

My skewer was "cheater" chopsticks, cause that is the only thing I could find quickly, plus I used it to fish out the spoon my daughter dropped in the oil bucket when she was mixing the hot melted CO and Cocoa Butter into the lard....

Thanks Aprice522 and DeeAnna! I'm sending it out to friends and family with elementary school kids. Hopefully they will like it.

 

[DeeAnna]

Angie -- curious minds want to see cut pics when you have them! Sounds like you and your daughter are a good team!
