Today I made two planets (that sounds pretty powerful) for my January Challenge entry. I way over estimated how much I'd need for my molds and had to scramble for extra molds. I've got lots of tree soaps now, all ready for Christmas 2021, and plenty for future confetti soaps. I'm driving myself crazy reading the news and it was a welcome break.
I remember when the yearly McRib craze was breaking news. Oh those were the days!

Here's the cut of the accelerant English Rose drop/sideways swirl. The drops didn't go down in as far as I'd envisioned since the soap was so thick. Also, I wish I'd left out the TD in the white since it developed nasty glycerin rivers. But I do like how some of the bars have little hearts in them!
I hope to bevel the edges later.
Oh my, I love tbar design. Is there a video or tutorial on it? I never knew you could reshape the "drops" like that. I dont want to steal your secret sauce so if you can't tell me I totally understand...but I'm making vday soap and id love to try it.
I opened my destash order from
@cmzaha - Christmas in January!

The only problem was, I was in a long zoom meeting and forgot to turn off my video. So they all watched me bring the box into the office, cut it open, and ooo and ahhh over the different items.
Sigh. They say real friends will tell you when there is toilet paper on your shoe, or a booger hanging down, but mine prefer to let me finish making a fool of myself so they can rib me about it for years to come.
LOL
Recently, our family spent the weekend in Yellowstone.
We always play scrabble. And its very competitive.
So, I had been eyeballing the board, looking for opportunities and I spied a KILLER one. It was like three simultaneous words, used a X and involved the triple word score.
Beautiful play!
And so I put all my tiles down and im grinning from ear to ear. My sister is tabulating my points.
....and my brother looks me, grins and says "its not your turn"
It had, in fact, been HIS turn. I had just been so focused on my play I had forgotten.
I tell you, sometimes its your own people. LOL.
