    SMF February 2021 Challenge - Circling Taiwan Swirl

    Yes, it had a lot of good miles on it! I have a ton of chopsticks, skewers, rods, all kinds of poky things so think I can come up with something. Am going to try and talk my son into running into Home Depot when he gets off at 6 a.m. and pick me up some thin plexiglass...the soap won't eat it...

    SMF February 2021 Challenge - Circling Taiwan Swirl

    You are a woman after my own heart! Thanks for the info. After reading both your and AliOop's answers I am going to purchase some plastic that is thicker and make something that will be durable and I won't have to make any more as I like the looks of these bars. I am getting bored waiting for...

    SMF February 2021 Challenge - Circling Taiwan Swirl

    I was afraid that was going to be the answer, and I am pretty sure my applique plastic is not sturdy enough. Off to Home Depot or Menards tomorrow. I don't want to use cardboard because I like making things only once and then it's done! I have never done a swirling technique before but want to...

    SMF February 2021 Challenge - Circling Taiwan Swirl

    I should have been more specific AliOop, sorry. Think of a heavy-duty piece of cardboard where you have cut down the middle of one of the walls and on the inside, you see a row of squares that run the length of the cardboard sitting next to each other that are in between the inner and outer...

    SMF February 2021 Challenge - Circling Taiwan Swirl

    Am I thinking the corrugated plastic, although thin, is too thick to use as dividers to do the Circling Taiwan Swirl? I have some thin plastic I get at Joanns to use when I do applique, do any of you know if this would work? I don't think it has a width on it, as I clean all the info off when...

    Share your favorite aromatherapy recipe!

    Has Brambleberry always sold their EO's in only two sizes, Tiny and Large? It is rather annoying. I wanted to try her pumpkin mask and have not been able to find Pumpkin Powder or Pumpkin Extract anywhere although I am still looking.

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    Hope you like the cold and snow. I lived the first 25 years on the Pacific Coast, then 12 years moving around the country & Europe, and the last 40+ in WI. All I can think about is moving back home although, I am just too old to start over. I hate the cold, snowy winters and the humid, hot...

    how to make specific soap

    It does something to you when you are 23 and you see a headless turkey running around for the first time and you have to eat it for Thanksgiving Day....gross plus you don't know your inlaws very well

    how to make specific soap

    Oh, you poor man, I remember my visit to my friends chicken farm where they had zillions of chickens, and the ones that quit laying would go to Cambell's for Chicken Noodle & Rice soup

    My Friend's Benefit

    That price is outrageous! When my husband died in TN, which is a cheap state to live in, it was $2000 to have him cremated and you pay extra for an urn, or else they give you the remains in a box, which horrified me. My husband's hobby was woodturning and furniture making so he had turned many...

    Post your Gripe

    I am sorry and I might get my head bitten off for saying this, but, here goes. My mother-in-law just didn't like me, okay with me, but I tried really hard. Whenever we traveled out of the States I always remembered to get something for their house or for each of them. Never an acknowledgment or...

    Calling in the experts!

    Zing, my heart is feeling all kinds of love and hugs for you...I am thinking a companion nod of Port just might help commiserate your angst.

    What to do with old FOs

    Funny you should say that, I just ordered a car diffuser and the pads that go in it! I am planning to make some bath bombs...I have to make some money to pay for the cost of the dupe Valor I am making for my Bestie...I will not be doing that again! Have you seen that electric bath bomb making...

    Great EO blends for MANLY scents

    Thanks to The Park Bench post for the frankincense tip, I just found your reply to my request left yesterday. I am spending way too much time trying to find the EO's to make the dupe of Valor for my best friend's soap. Once I get something in my head it is hard to let it go.....which drives me...

    Great EO blends for MANLY scents

    I have been looking for Frankincense, do you have a particular place that you like their Frankincense over others? I have not used it, so don't know what it is supposed to smell like, have read descriptions, which doesn't really help my nose discern the scent. I know several countries have it...

    What to do with old FOs

    I have probably 50-60 bottles of EO's and FO's sitting in a box that I have been trying to figure out how to get rid of so as not to destroy the earth and I might be able to use them in my soaps??? They are all in brown bottles, 90% of them, never opened, all of them taped and stored in the...
