Swirling M&P Soap

I love the look of the colors and swirls in cold process soap. I tried it with my M&P soap and although it is not the same effect, I really like how it turned out.
This one is scented with Lemon Sugar and Candied Violets:

I'm Back

I've been cleaning and organizing my soap stuff. I got lots of shelving for the garage and finally am getting everything in order. I found so many molds I bought and never used. Now I am making soap with them and trying to get it all listed. I bought a few new molds this past week and I've now told myself no more new molds for a while!!

Here are a few of the new things I listed in my shop over the weekend.
Whipped Creme Soap (I love this stuff!!):
Sharpei: A Mouse in a Honey Jar:
Ships and Icebergs:

Almost 1000 Sales!

My goal was to hit 1000 sales in my first year on Etsy and I'm almost there! I have 2 more months to go, so I know I'll do it.

Teacher Appreciation Week

This week is Teacher Appreciation Week at the schools here. Monday is Flower Day, Tuesday is Relaxing Day, Wednesday is Note Day, Thursday is Candy Bar Day and Friday is Classroom Supply Day.

My older son is not interested in giving his teachers anything at all. So, I'm going to have to make up a gift bag and drop it off at school for him. He'll probably be mad at me for that too!

My youngest son can't wait to give his teacher stuff. His teacher this year was probably the best teacher either one of my boys have ever had. He picked tomorrow (Relaxing Day) to give her a gift and you should have seen all the stuff he wanted to give her! We finally narrowed it down to a reed diffuser, a candle, 2 lotions, 2 lip butters and 2 soaps.

I promised to take him to the store tomorrow so he could get the candy bar and classroom supplies. I'm just afraid he's going to eat the candy bar before he gives it to her. I wouldn't put it past him to give her the empty wrapper!

New Stuff In My Shop

I've been working on new stuff for my shop. I'm in love with my new Lemon Poppyseed Cake fragrance oil. It's a blend of Lemon, Vanilla, Lime and Cake Batter. I can't get enough of it! I smells good enough to eat. So, everything I made this weekend is scented with it.

Here's a solid lotion bar:
