Oh no, DeeAnna, I am so sorry. Could you make them change the number back right away, or is already too late (ie; numbers skewed by stuff sold in the interim?)
What soapy thing have you done today?

I have utterly no idea if there's still a way to relate their stock numbers with my original numbers. I have 60 items for sale at the Center, so it's going to take some patience and time to figure out. I am going to have to discuss this with the Center's director -- She Who Is Never Wrong. <sigh>
The Center has a rather chaotic management style, but so far I'd managed to do okay with them. If they're going to make changes like this without any vendor input, however, that's troubling.
Anyways, I just needed to vent a bit -- thanks for listening....

You must be joking, enough of us have bent your ear with our soapy problems/questions, just by myself I owe you several concentrated hours of venting time. I just hate that you have to deal with it. I hope it works out. Also that you have some other possible retail outlets if this one doesn't work out and you want to keep doing it. It does seem pretty shabby - disorganized at a minimum - to make those changes w/o telling you and then leaving you to deal with them on your own.

That really sucks DeeAnna. I would be livid. I'm sorry for the trouble it will bring to have to go out and fix the mess they made of your work. Hugs to you!

Wow, DeeAnna I would be so upset! I'm not the best at keeping things organized so it takes a lot of time and work for me...for someone to just come along and willy nilly undo your hard work...no words. I'm sorry you have to deal with one of those I'm Never Wrong types. Good luck getting it sorted out!
A few days ago I brought some soap samples to work to pass out. The sweet pea soap from hell was the most popular one! Last night I made up another batch, using all the tips you guys talk about to keep the fragrance oil from separating. It went a lot better this time, but it still separated and the color didn't come through at all. The end result looks more like a slab of granite than a bar of soap! Today I cut the soap and set it out to cure.

I contacted Bonnie, the lady who does the bookkeeping, about my concerns today. She told me the store manager ~did~ set up a different stock numbering system this summer, but Bonnie is pretty sure the cross reference info I need is most likely in their sales database. She said she will check into it soon and will create a different report showing the extra information. I'm glad I was able to keep my questions as courteous as possible -- we had a decent discussion about it.

Just saw these on the FB page - very nice!
Like the yellow, Skayc! That will wake you up in the shower! Great even curves on that one too, how did you do it?

Thanks! the scent on it is chamomile cybilla from BB & chamomile is calming, it is strong enough to wake someone up. & I did a tiger swirl, then swirled the top with a chopstick.

I finally got around to starting my blog!! My first blog soap wasn't the pretty, intricate swirl I had planned but that's soaping for you - you just don't know what might happen!!
I've added the link to my blog to my signature (or I will do in the next few mins!!)

I have finished my ebru soap, in fourth attempt and I am kind of satisfied although what I intended to be leafs ended up looking like a wild group of trilobites instead
