Well I'm a little nervous 
I ordered something I'm planing for my soap I'm making for the challenge and my order hasn't come yet so I phoned them and they are going to try and get it to me by the 22. So this is cutting it so close to the dead line I just hope I can do it on time please wait for my soap to vote I will do my best to get it in before the dead line either that I will have to make my soap with out it but it won't be as nice.

Too bad! I'm sure you would've made a gorgeous and inspired soap. I hope they're good things preventing you from making soap

Shoot. I am so sorry everyone, but it looks like I’m going to have to bow out. Life just keeps on happening. I’m sorry 
Sorry to hear it. Hope life's good nonethelessShoot. I am so sorry everyone, but it looks like I’m going to have to bow out. Life just keeps on happening. I’m sorry
Darn, I have to bow out too. Time just flew away and I needed a full day to plan out and do mine
There’s always the next one.

Life is good, thanksSorry to hear it. Hope life's good nonetheless
Oh my gosh, I misread the cutoff date. I still have time to enter? I have a cpl free days
Yay! Yes, the Entry thread will only close on 27/03 at 23:59 GMT, so you still have a bit more than 5 days left.Oh my gosh, I misread the cutoff date. I still have time to enter? I have a cpl free days
Oh shoot! Thanks for letting me know.. It's edited (I hope I got everything now)@szaza I think you left some text from the February challenge in the March challenge
and what cute pics of your family! I love love love the hidden soap rocks, too!
Thank you! I love your soap. And I love your story but what a shame about the lavender. My son spent a high school semester in Aix en Provence - we visited but did not see those gorgeous mines.@Vicki C those rocks are amazing!How do you make the speckled pattern?
The soap… the dark one was made with some shavings of experimental iron oxide and salt bars I had made. I blended these really well with the warm oils before adding the lye. The green ones were made with some failed pull through kaleidoscope round bars I had tried to make with chrome oxide for the January SMF challenge. I blended these with the warm oils but less vigorously, to try to retain some green particles. The granite looking one I made with iron oxide shavings again, but didn’t use a stick blender and added some titanium dioxide to make the background lighter. I have found that I have to keep the batter pourable - with these molds it’s easy to get air pockets if the batter is too thick. There were two other batches that didn’t work for that reason. So, accelerating fragrances really don’t work for this.
Thanks so much! My grandson is a sweetheart.
