Blog feature and soap sampler order

Tonight I had an order placed by a local person who is going on a trip and wanted some gifts to give out that were pretty and made in California. She ordered 9 soap sampler packs to take with her on the trip. So I spent the night busting those out, I even skipped working out(shhh don't tell).

Patrice from The Soap Seduction mentioned I was featured on the Handmade Guru so stop on over and check it out!

more new pictures

Amazing how much better some soaps look with new pictures! Have about half of them redone, more to go!

testing new picture set ups

I have the new digital camera that plugs into my lights so I am trying to figure out how I want my pictures to look then I am retaking them all. Testing just a few ideas right now, I have a few more set ups I haven't taken pictures of and I may redo these with a black background just to see that that looks like. Just thought I would let you see what I am working on at the moment....

Anyone have some favs so far?

My soap order from Bramble Berry arrived today so I am back in business on making melt and pour soaps. First up will be to fix that messed up batch that I cut tooooo early.

Basil Nectarine round 2

Top picture is round 1 and the bottom 2 pictures are round 2

As mentioned in my other post I wasn't pleased with how the Basil Nectarine came out so I did shavings of those bars and made a go at saving them with a clear overpour. At first I wasn't digging the round 2 of these but they might be growing on me. What do you think?!?!

So this weekend my computer decided to break guess the video card went out :( just can't catch a break it seems. But it has returned from the repair shop so we are all good now. I was even able to finally get online and place my order for more melt and pour soap from Bramble Berry! now it just needs to hurry up and get here :P

oppps cut the soap to soon

So look what happens when you start your batch of soap late at night and then try to rush it so you can sleep. More lessons learned! Guess this will be another batch I chunk up and try to make into something new. A few bars are decent(see bottom picture) but sad to say most of the batch was messed up. This is scented with a Bramble Berry blend of Energy, Red Apple, and Cranberry Sweet.
