Same here, except the fixers are going for $400k - small lots with HOA, too. Just nuts.
What soapy thing have you done today?

I buy the majority of my supplies from the Dollar Store as well. I also bought these to scrape out squeeze bottles. I’m not a fan of using plastic packing sleeves as inserts because they are a pain.

If you ever see something like this, buy it! THE best thing for scraping out jars and bottles. This is one of my favourite kitchen tools.

Went to a hobby&art market 30 km away (which is much for a single shopping for me) and bought things I've been longing to buy: more EO's and FO's, silicone mouldmaking compound for more moulds to make soap bars for my grandsons (and the granddaughter), some colouring agents that are not explicitely for CP but have proved to behave well, and also some candle making materials. Besides - the sun is shining and life looks so interesting and charming LA VITA E BELLA

Fantastic! Thanks very much for posting your experiment, complete with pics. Yes, indeed, those are trees!
@Tara_H They look like Christmas trees in the snow.
@Misschief does that thingy have a name? I've never seen one anywhere and would like to search for one.

Sorry for butting in, lol. Not @Misschief but I found several on Amazon like this. Search mini bottle/jar scraper.

Thanks Jersey Girl! I got mine in a local kitchen store. My former mother-in-law bought me one years ago when she visited the Netherlands and I was heartbroken when it broke.
You’re welcome. Thank you for sharing the idea with us. It’s going on my loooooong list of must haves!

Im in love with the colour I got on these! In bamboo and teak scent. I wish I had more of the poo mold. They look more like cupcake toppers. The possibilities of soap sets and I have a cone mold too.
Also. How has this thread gone on for 7 years now. So much knowledge and soaps and help and wonderful people here.

Wanted to try out some new fragrance and mica so made a couple more shampoo and conditioner bars! Lol! The mica is Material Girl and fragrance is Persephone’s Kiss, both from Nurture Soap, love them both!
I’m twiddling my thumbs waiting for my WSP order I placed the 14th and it’s still not shipped...
Thinking about trying a rimmed round soap. I might try the kiss pour for the rimmed soap... shouldn’t be too hard!! Lol! Not!
I just need my order to get here!!!

@Jersey Girl you can butt in any time if you are
I realized a couple days ago that I totally missed my one year Soapaversary! I made my first batch of CP soap on January 31st of 2020. As we all know, 2020 turned out to be a crazy year and I am so happy to have immersed myself in all things soap as it has helped me get through a difficult time. The first picture is of my first week‘s creations. Second picture is one month later. I had been bitten by the soaping bug bad! I’ve come a long way in this journey and I give so much credit to the members here for sharing their knowledge and their friendship. Thank you all. ♥
@Jersey Girl look at the Taiwan Swirls, in your first month no less! You’re a natural. Congratulations on the soap-aversary.
A friend at work stopped me in the hall today to tell me how much her grandkids love washing their hands when they come to visit her. I’ve given her a bunch of soap, and apparently the little ones are totally fascinated by a solid bar that makes bubbles with water.
I’m spending some time this month making confetti soap, including some in “exotic” (for me) color combinations. I just finished a batch that went into the mold I bought for the TC challenge. I used 1 divider, put confetti in 2/3 of the mold and batter without confetti in 1/3. I feel so clever, especially if I end up with a reasonably straight line between the layers.

Happy Soapaversary!!
I am in heaven. Received all my micas from Mad Micas today! Oh My, I want to sprinkle a little of each one on the floor and roll in them all! Yes, I know I am a little weird! They are so beauteous! Now to figure out how and where I am going to store them. I wish I could find a vertical spice rack!
