Making soaps for Christmas bazaars and gifts today. Peppermint Candy, Christmas Forest, Eggnog, Wild Cranberry ,and Gingerbread. What is everyone else making.

Today, I made an eperimental batch of soap scented with Peak's Cranberry Spice and I colored the entire batch red with TKB's Colorana Bordeaux (the coloring is what what made it an experimental batch).

Last week, I made a batch of soap with Peak's Winter Wonderland, a batch with Peak's Bayberry, a batch with Santa's Pipe from SweetCakes colored with activated charcoal, and another batch of Santa's Pipe but mixed with a little bit of Intense Almond from MMS for an extra boost of cherry. I colored that one with activated charcoal, too.

Next up on my soaping agenda is a batch made with Spiced Plum from Oregon Trails.

I also need to make a batch of Frankincense & Myrrh.

Irishlass, how did the Winter Wonderland do? I have a bottle calling my name--did it discolor?

Winter Wonderland soaped beautifully for me. No A and no D. I even had time enough to a 3 color swirl with it. And I soaped it warm, too, with a 33% lye solution.

Just sent out a long email today asking what people would be wanting.
Took an inventory of all my FOs and EOs yesterday and today - had no idea I had that many. Gesh - hope it's a good holiday season!!

Peppermint Stick, spice cookies and citrus clove pomander. Mmmmmmm.

For the Ladies in my family:
Collection of Melt and pour cameos in tailored colors and fragrances (I love that about M&P - I can tailor each soap as needed),
Sugar Scrubs (also tailored colors and fragrance),
Body Butter,
Bath Bombs,
Shampoo bar
Lip balm/gloss
Salt Bar

For the guys:
"Man" Soap (This is something of a joke in my family, since most of the men have sensitive skin, but want a macho fragrance to cover up their tenderness and desire for a mild soap.),
Shaving soap with porcelain,
Shaving brush and handthrown pottery shaving-soap cup,
Peppermint and Tea-tree Loofah foot scrubbies,
Moisturizing Beeswax Body Balm Bar,
Shampoo Bar
Moustache Wax most of the men in my family have a face pet of some sort or another... those without will get a lip balm, only without the cosmetic mica.

debbism. citrus clove pomander sounds wonderful, what is it like?

 

[debbism]

Its really just sweet orange, tangerine and clove bud - just like when you put clove buds in an orange for the holidays....at least I did when I was a kid

 

[Moonblossom]

I made Holly Berry and Frankenscense and Myrhh both smell great but I'm low on oils and awaiting a BB order to arrive so no more for me until it comes.

 

[falldowngobump]

Thanks for the information Irishlass, I do like the smell!

I make mine using sweet orange, bergamot and clove bud. The smell is so wonderful and remind me as well of the clove in the orange
