Winter Wonderberry from Aztec and Dr. Peppermint and Alpine Cheer from Micas & More were great. Frosted Peak Tops and Elf Sweat from Nature's Garden also worked well for me. Walk In the Woods from California Candle smells great and probably behaves. I forgot to add my additional liquid, it moves...

I spent the weekend getting ready for and attending a craft fair. It went quite well and I got a lead for another in December. I'm very low on several scents so need to get those made and deliver some made last month to the salon today or tomorrow.
Lol we are definitely better people not together. But we have 4 kids, the younger ones are 8 and 10. We co-parent well and always get each other nice gifts for birthdays and Christmas because it's from the kids too. We don't even have gifts from Mom or Dad, it's all from both of us and we split...
Not today, but yesterday. My friend that carries my soap in his salon called the other night and told me he's sold out of Love Spell again. So I made a double batch of that and another scented with Elf Sweat from Nature's Garden. And another challenge attempt.

So far today I have cut my 1st attempt at the challenge for this month. I cut it both ways to see which I prefer and wow Nelly, I have a strong preference! So I'll shortly be making another batch to cut only that way. I received the last few scents I've been waiting on for holiday soaps and need...
I have purchased from them. Their Dragon's Blood, Caramel Tobacco, and Sweet Tooth are staples for me.
Edited to add that I don't make candles, I use those in soap.

Got home from vacation a couple days ago and still haven't had a chance to get any soaps made. I did deliver some soaps to a friend that owns a salon and asked to carry them. He's excited and has been hyping them with his large following, so I'm crossing fingers as I plan larger batches for the...
