I have several of those same drawer organizers. Have you tried them with CP yet? I hope you're feeling better soon.

[805Soap]

@Soaptivated Feeling better Thanks:} I have tried them with CP and sometimes I put a sheet of butcher paper in it.

Hi sweety, so nice to see you again! Ya know, I just love doing the melt and pour, but I cannot sell it for the life of me..very sad :( i think all my customers are just cp people.

[805Soap]

@MyNaturesArt This customer had a CP soaper but changed to me because of the frieght charges and I deliver for free they are in my local area which is nice and they are just flying through soaps. I made this same order in Nov,2011 so I am stoked that they are reordering so fast. It pays for all of my soaping and lunch at MD's...lol

It's raining in CA Oh no, don't you just love getting those bits stuck to your fingers, ha ha Gorgeous colours together, lilac and lemon, very nice.

@EdensSecret1 Just don't lick your finger...hahaha thanks Karen

Nice soap! Besides Natures Garden, where else do you get your FO? And, with your M&P soap, do you use the same brand with all of your loaves? Thanks for uploading your videos, I love watching them!!

[805Soap]

@winnielane Thanks:}

These are very pretty. My favorite soap you made is the white M & P with pink and lime-ish green embeds on top. It was sooo girly- I loved it! I have no skills with M & P, other than some lame embed usage.

@nubianqn83 thank you ;}

[mukwah1111]

Great soaps Louise ! Congrats on the big order. May I ask how much FO you use / lb of M&P base? I also can never get it right. Feel better sooooon !

[805Soap]

@mukwah1111 It depends on the FO if its strong I use less if its weak I use more but I do measure because I am running a business and FO are expensive.

[mukwah1111]

@805Soap Oh wow ! Sorry, I didnt mean to cross lines.......

[805Soap]

@mukwah1111 you didn't cross the line with strong Fo I use .8 per lb. of soap and with milder FO I use 1.0 or 1oz. per lb. of soap, I hope that helps :}

[mukwah1111]

@805Soap Thanks Louise I use those amounts for CP soap but I am very confused about scenting M&P - some websites suggest anywhere from 1 tsp to 1 Tbs/lb of M&P soap base. I know that the strength of the FO determines the amount but there is nothing worse than wasting the base on soap that is barely scented in the end. Big letdown.

I love watching you do melt and pour. I think this process is harder for me that any other soap making. It seems easy but for me It is NOT. I rather make cream soap from scratch than do a melt and pour. LOL You make me want to really get involved but I know my limits

[805Soap]

@kayorcee Its really fun for me I love it...wish I was feeling better :{ thanks for the comments.

[BeautifulBubblesSoap]

I love the creativity you can get with M&P x x x

[805Soap]

@BeautifulBubblesSoap thank you ;}

[Debbiefaurby]

Looking good Louise. I want to make M&P now - I haven´t made it for aaaaaaages and it´s so much fun. :0)

[805Soap]

@Debbiefaurby thanks Deb ;}

[BodyCareBoutique]

You got the sniffles Louise :-( ? Poor thing! Fun video, that's a lot of shredded soapies! It turned out adorable, your customer will love it! I hope we get to see them cut. Hugs, Mel :-)

[805Soap]

@BodyCareBoutique Yep I'm sick but I have to get this order out by Tuesday ;{ so I thought I would share thanks Mel :}
