I love that! And cute doggy helpers too :)

That makes perfect sense Dixie and Earlene! I tend to over think everything in an effort to not offend anyone. (I have bad anxiety) I'm grateful to have never been in that position but I do have cousins that have been in a similar situation as your son. I'm sure they didn't care about the label...

Thank you for your suggestions. I ended up cutting the bars in half, wrapping and putting a small sticker label with just ingredients and scent name on each one. I had several different recipes in there so I figured I needed to specify what each one is.

I have lots of bars of soap that are either too lightly scented or a little ugly in some way. I contacted a local homeless shelter and they said they would like the donation but were sparse on any details. How would you package soap for donation? I was considering cutting larger bars in half so...

My husband is the bread maker in our family. He had a really nice sourdough starter going about a year ago. It was from the "wild yeast" in the air I believe. He made a couple amazing loaves of bread we all loved. Then the jar of starter sat on a high shelf in the kitchen until we forgot about...

Nothing beats homemade bread/biscuits. Those look delicious!

Very nice! Do you have a shop you sell them in? And hello from a former Texan! I used to live in Arlington myself :wave:

I've never smelled actual sandalwood essential oil but I have used RE's Hawaiian Sandalwood and it has a very powdery scent to me. Try Oregon Trails Mysore Sandalwood. I've heard great things about it and I have a bottle I'm trying next batch. It smells very nice, not powdery, but I can't say...

I agree that there's something remarkable about a well made item that is meant to last. That's one of the things I love about these machines. Many of them just need cleaning and oiling and a few small fixes and are as good as new. Singer featherweights are adorable. Has your dad got it up and...

I have this problem EXACTLY! I have probably 15 vintage sewing machines and 3 vintage sergers. I love them all so much. Most need repair. I'm trying to learn to repair them myself. I have one shiny metallic turquoise Morse machine that is my baby. I will love her forever. I stay away from the...

I'm so sorry you're going through this. We have a similar situation with my DHs ex. We are raising my stepdaughter and her mother magically appears maybe once a year with a smattering of phone calls here and there. It has been very hard on my stepdaughter who is 12 now and really starting to...

Chiming in and agreeing with everyone else. I use a lot of olive oil and Costco Kirkland has been great. I get it from Amazon http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E4PZ3KE/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 or Jet...

Thank you all for the helpful advice! I absolutely will not be using it. I actually stopped using it when I saw the bumps. I think I will hang on to it and take progress photos though. The seller is mostly a beekeeper I believe as she sells mainly honey products and a few different lotions and...

I don't make creams or any liquid bath & body products but I purchased this facial cream from a local seller on Etsy. The ingredients are: Ingredients: Almond oil, Coconut oil, Aloe Vera Gel, Cocoa Butter, Distilled Water, Shea butter, Beeswax, Lanolin, Lavender Essential oil, Honey...

What a neat idea!

I have ordered a few EOs from them and they've been wonderful. I recommend them for sure. And I love the little freebie bag that comes with every order.

Ah, Bulk Apothecary. I've had mixed experiences with them. My husband ordered beer making supplies and they called and said they were out of a certain yeast so he asked them to substitute. 2 Weeks later they just never shipped. No apology, no quick shipping, just "Whoops, we overlooked that"...

Well I ended up leaving the ziploc bag open and it eventually stopped gassing up. I tried baking part of the salts too to see if that made a difference. It helped dry them out (after scenting) and they also stopped giving off gas. Guess I just didn't wait long enough!

Thank you! Do you think they reach a point where they finally stop gassing up?

I've never made a bath soak before. I was following a recipe of: 3 cups Epsom Salt 2 cups Dead Sea Salt 1 cup Baking Soda I split the recipe up to scent it 3 different ways with about half leftover unscented. All of the scented ones I have sitting spread out in pans to dry. I put the...
