    In honor of Liz: The Annoyance Thread

    Your'e spot on with that one! =p ack I can't do it... you're. It drives me nuts too, as well as the misuse of homophones. I have this posted in my living room (where the kids do their homework) To: going TO the store. *directional/functional* Too: Can I go TOO? *also/or excessive {that's...

    Soap Cutter favorites?

    Yep I wanted the tank until I saw the price tag! ACK!!! I've been wanting a cutter from Bud for a while, hopefully one of these days I can justify that expense.

    Etsy

    Well since you pay about $.20 per listing in fees to Etsy, it would be more cost effective to list one and give a variety. You don't have to use the drop down lists if your varieties are a bit more complicated. Just put what varieties they have to choose from in the description and ask them to...

    Ok here is another... and I know I'm not alone in this because several of my friends are the same way. Misspelling and bad grammar. My husband is the worst at spelling and his handwriting makes me cringe. I will apologize to anyone of you who are friends with me on Facebook.. I do tend to...

    In honor of Liz: The Annoyance Thread

    The rule in our house (when the kids aren't in school) is you have to stay quiet until 10 a.m. I never had a rule like that, just that I couldn't bother my parents until they woke up (my mom worked swing shift at the casino so she never got up until 11 or so) and I couldn't go out and play until...

    Um, unexpected effect

    My Aunt is an extra in that movie. I live in Reno and my Aunt used to hang out at the Nevada Club a lot back in those days. You can actually see her quite clearly when Whoopie is running through the casino near the end of the movie. Any family gathering from that point on, she'd turn the thing...

    Vendor Tent Recommendations

    I have a 10x10 but I can't remember which brand it is, Coleman I think, but I won't swear to it. It's much like an E-Z up, accordion style, pull on opposite corners and it extends out.. put the canopy on, raise the legs and it's done. Takes me and my dh all of 5 minutes to do. I use weights to...

    Um, unexpected effect

    In my coconut soap I just made (it's too dark now to take pics) and cut I got partial gel. I've gotten partial gel before where only a slight edge is the color it was when I put it to bed and the rest is that darker color. The coconut soap gelled weird on me. I added TD to the batter but it...

    Lotion Bars

    the cold spoon test works wonders as well. put a spoon (or a few) in the freezer before you start and when testing just take the cold spoon, dip it quickly in your batch and then rub it on your skin and see how it feels to you. Still not right? Add more hard oils, or less soft oils and test again.

    I know the feeling. Ugh. On a related side note my husband likes to chew his ice from his ice water after dinner EVERY NIGHT. He doesn't chew it with his mouth open however he sits right next to me on the couch and sometimes (not every night) it gets on my nerves. I just sit and look at him...

    Glad I'm not the only one... now I just wish they'd fix it! That's highly obnoxious!

    In honor of Liz: The Annoyance Thread

    My biggest pet peeve in life and yes this annoys me more than anything else in the entire world... chewing with your mouth open. My mom's biggest pet peeve was mouth noises and I guess she either got after me and my dad (and the dog too... yes she yelled at the dog for smacking, however it was...

    Um, unexpected effect

    It's a matter of opinion.. it's a part of saponification and sometimes can't be helped. It just means that the end product will be harder, easier to unmold, and the lye will be fully incorporated sooner. The bars look a bit different to those that aren't gelled, but that's not a bad thing...

    felted soap

    The answer might be obvious, but I need to ask anyway. Why do you felt soaps??

    Looks like it's gelling.

    Hello everyone!

    Welcome to the forum Joshua! Soaping is a crazy addiction so beware lol. Most of us soapers find our fragrance oils online through suppliers. There are tons and spending hours perusing product and price comparison can do a world of good. I don't know about using fruit juices for fragrance will...

    YouTube...

    Is anyone else having issues with YouTube being quirky lately? I will start a video that is 7 mins long, get 1 min. in and the video says it's only 1 min. long and it's ended. I end up restarting videos over and over and over just to watch the whole thing... how annoying!
