  1. Bebe Collection, fairly inexpensive. You can do custom or use some of their stock designs.

    Lasercutz on Etsy, a little more than BeBe

    I'm not sure how expensive their stamps are but there are people that just love them. The website is a bit confusing so it's easier to either email or call them to discuss. I think most people get the magnesium version and they need good artwork.

  2. I messaged you! Just don't want to put the email or website up with all the recent spammers lurking the board. (That might be overly paranoid, but hey lol)

    I completely understand and better to be safe. There have been a rash of them. No worries here. Thanks!

  3. I had something similar when I went a bit overboard on insulating a batch. The plastic wrap almost looked like it had condensation on it and was dripping back onto the top. I unwrapped it a bit and wiped the beads off the top. At the time, I thought the beads were a little zappy and was lye (it was my third ever batch). I ended up cutting the soap into small bars because I thought it was going to be lye heavy on the tops and sides. I've since learned to be patient and let the soap fully saponify, which may take longer than 24 hours (which you know as well :) ). What I'm trying to say is just wait until you can unmold and see how it looks once you cut it. Those little drops may absorb back into the soap. I've been fighting ash in my slab mold and want to use the same emoticon.

  4. Well I'm all about blending so I'd like to throw into the mix

    "Incense and Peppermints"

    based on the song by Strawberry Alarm Clock

    .50 frankincense & myrrh .25 vanilla musk .25 peppermint patty

    I can't think of a better blend for Christmas.

    scents are from NG.

    Interesting blend. And now I'll have that song stuck in my head!!

  5. Amish Harvest- very cinnamon and spice, medium

    Paul, did you every get any of the Amish Harvest from Only Fragrance (Luis)? If you did, how does this compare? Once I'm out of my stash I'm going to be one unhappy puppy since it's one of my most popular fragrances. I have tried the one from Peaks and I prefer Only Fragrance. So, need to find a replacement.

  6. If cedar happens to be that 3rd one, then Bitter Creek North has this:

    Sage, Sweetgrass & Cedar (Bubbles N Lights) - Enhanced with bright citrus notes, the power of this fragrance is in the blend of grassy green notes, with hints of lavender sage and rosemary. Throw in some spicy clove, the warm outdoorsy scent of pine and oakmoss and you have a terrifically earthy fragrance!

    If some type of pine is the 3rd one, then this might work if you add sweetgrass:

    Sagebrush & Pinion Leaf (Bubbles N Lights) - An earthy fragrance with heavy woodsy and grassy notes. When I sniff this fragrance, I just get the image of John Wayne riding across the range with tumbleweeds rolling in front of him. Think rough and tumble and a little rough around the edges

    Sticking fingers in my ears, singing la-la-la-la-la while thinking, I don't need any more suppliers or scents, I don't need any more suppliers or scents...!!!!

    Dang it, I love the description of that first one. Have you tried it?

  7. Looks like a nice 80/20 mix of butters and oils. Mine had a 50/50 mix of the hard/soft butters which is why I thought mine turned out pretty hard. I would try remelting and adding another ounce of the SAO and then whip. That would put you around a 70/30 blend. I know some people will put the heated oils in the freezer for a bit then start whipping it once it just starts to solidify. Could probably use an ice bath as well if you wanted. It's just like candles, trial and error. :)
