Right now they are just wrapped in a label. I used to scrapbook (alot) and have paper (alot) left. I'm trying to use what I already have. I have noticed that some of the soaps seep. But, so far it's not been a big problem. I keep them in closed plastic containers to avoid the dust (only way at...

What a great page!! I like that cake with the pink bow, too. But, they are so pretty I would never let anyone eat them. :lol:

That is just too true!

:welcome This is a great place to spend all your spare time, uhm . . . I mean a few minutes at the computer. :lol:

Your gift baskets sound wonderful. I need to get started on mine this year. I have all these ideas in my head and now I just need to put them in motion. :) I hope your dog gets better. It hurts me terribly to see an animal in pain. Have you asked your vet about giving him something for the...

I can really understand that Free. Sometimes just walking through the candle isle or even outside some of the mall shops (Bath & Body and Abercrombie & Fitch) can give me a headache. I don't scent my soaps heavily. I just want it to smell nice when it is used. I don't want them to be an air...

Reading this thread makes me think of my DH and how blessed I am to have him. He is the kindest and most generous person I know. For example, he tilled alot of gardens for people last year. Some was a paying job, but others he did for free. Since the weather has been so wet this year, his...

That's a great video, lori!!

That is a great idea for me!! I take alot of pics of my son and his buddies when they are four wheeler racing. I already have most of the equipment, except the fabric sheets for the printer. If I used 8 x 8 picture blocks, I could put them together very quickly. Ya know, you should really work...

Just to try it is not very expensive at all. As a matter of fact, you may already have most of the ingredients in your pantry (olive oil, castor oil, lard, for example). The most expensive part are the fragrance oils. I got my first ones at Hobby Lobby for $2.99 a 1/2 ounce. It takes about 1...

As I posted in my journal, I may have an opportunity to expand my soapmaking. I need ya'lls opinions: What are your top 5 favorite scents for soap? What scents do you make or what scents would you buy?

Thanks, FC. I've been spending most of my time setting behind the sewing machine making these quilt tops. I really enjoy it. I also did a Quilt Project Sheet for each one (I think about 15 in all, so far) I want to know how much money I have in each quilt. So, just in case someone wants me to...

I took a few soaps to our Thanksgiving celebration since a few family members had expressed some interest in them. This year, my cousin and his DW came in from Florida. She works in a high end home decor store. She liked the soaps so much that she called her boss and emailed her a pic of them...

Here are a few of the quilts I am giving this year:

Yep, more pumpkin pies.

About 2 weeks ago, I lowered our thermostat from 67 to 65. Just a minute ago, my DS came in and asked me to raise it. His room stays pretty cool. I told him to put on a sweatshirt. :/ I want to see how big a difference it makes on the gas bill.

I read that, probably in 8th grade (about 30 years ago). Maybe I should read it again.

I am not a smoker and have never been one. If I am trying to accomplish a goal, I do better when I am held accountable to someone else. Maybe you could have your kids write notes and hide them throughout the house. Something like "Daddy, please don't smoke today." Have them put some in...

Hey, Chick. Sorry to hear about your MIL. I hope she is better after getting some R&R. I hate that it happened this way, but maybe that is what it was going to take to get you to slow down more. Plus, like you said; if you slow down, she slows down. So, here's to more days of putting your feet...

I agree with FF - take it back to the store. I've used mine for about 20 ish different batches with no problems. I threw the box away, so I don't remember which brand it is. I do know that I bought it a Walmart. I use rubber gloves when measuring the lye. Not so much for adding to water or...
