Just lovely ~ I will look go look for it, thanks. I know my mom & sister will love it, too! It's very feminine without being overpowering or too perfume-y. I just got a Lilac fo in the mail yesterday from First Choice Fragrance Oils (Southern Soapers)... it is to die for! ~ so incredibly...

Hi everyone! I got my box in the mail yesterday, though I had a terrible migraine, so I couldn't play with them until last night. My daughters absolutely went ga-ga for the chocolate-y smelling one! I love that each of them are so unique, no two are even close to being the same. I think this...

Yay!!! They're all so beautiful!!!

Yay! Thanks!

Don't keep us hanging!!! Which two did you get??? lol

Hi everyone! I've not been around here in a while, but I just wanted to pop in to say hi & I'm still in and looking forward to our swap! (though I do admit I'm nervous!) Carol

Oh! Both of you ladies' soaps are so BEAUTIFUL!!! CJ~ that blue & cream swirl is what I'm aiming for for my sister's soaps! I love your swirls, they're so delicate. I'm scared to death I'm going to flop at them. lol Morgaine, I am so in love with that Green Man soap!!! That one would be...

Not crazy at all... my dh and I felt the same way. The wedding was almost just a formality. The mountains over here burrow deep into your heart fast! I couldn't ever move away from them. They make me so happy, give me such a feeling of peace. You'll love it! I'll post pics when I get the...

Congrats on the dress!!!! I cringe when I see women spend thousands on a dress they'll wear just one time. When I think of the money thrown away on these big weddings and what could have been done with it instead... oy... lol So when is the big day? Tennessee sounds good, aren't you on the...

Quote: Gotta say again, I love this thread and the people in it!

Okay, so I picked up two cans of Pringles while I was out last night, got 'em home, measured them, and would you believe they are THE EXACT MEASUREMENT I WANTED??? How often does that happen? Cindi, I will definitely try the half-moon shaped bars, I love a good twirl! Maybe I'll do part of...

Turkey Day is always dh's day in the kitchen. He takes care of the turkey, I do the baking. This year I did a pumpkin soap, too. It overheated a bit, I think, it doesn't have any smell at all (I was really hoping for the cinn. to come through), but I just tested it (only a week in) and it...

So. About beer boiling. Anyone done it? I removed the carbonation from the beer for my shampoo bars, but did not boil out the alcohol. That sucker seized up on my but quick!!! I have some Yuengling Black & Tan on the stove right now; I started it at a simmer to remove the carbonation first...

No, I've not tried the round soaps yet, I have such a fondness for the rectangles! I love twisting it around in my hand to make lather~ don't know why that makes me happy... probably because it took me a while to master the art of soap twirling when I was a kid & my narcissistic butt is still...

Too awesome that your hubby made your silicone mold for you. It would definitely be on my short list of what-to-save, too! I'll have to go look at the craft foam next time I'm out~ I wonder if I couldn't just glue it together with something like shoe goo to prevent leaks... Is this the really...

Quote: I am so glad I missed that drama... I love my AO soaps!~ I've used tallow from suet I rendered myself since the first batch. I've only gone 100% VO with one batch, and that was mainly coconut oil. Thanks for fighting the good fight for us AO'ers, Cindi~ I'm a member of your TS yahoo...

Quote: Like the thick cleaning gloves, right? I can't wear those, they drive me nuts. Too heavy I guess... I was happy to find these thin ones; it's as close to bare as I dare to get working with lye. I guess I'll try moisturizing the heck out of my hands early in the day and then apply some...

Just curious... what does everyone here use for gloves? I use Playtex Disposables Great Lengths. They are chemical & puncture resistant and latex-free, but the backs of my hands are still soooo irritated after making soap. It took days of keeping lanolin on the backs of my hands the last time I...

Quote: I did the same thing about 2 years ago. It was a waste of money. And besides, I never answered the land line anyway. Same here... anyone I wanted to talk to had my cell #. Once we got rid of dial-up we got rid of the landline.

That's awesome!!! (I love the brown paper wrapped packages, too. Very homey. )
