</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">My 6 yr old recieved a four wheeler from his grandma. It was a great gift and he loves it. The mistake we made with it was not putting him through a more thourogh training before letting him have a go at it. This caused my soap making weekend to be a hole digging weekend. <br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">Christopher ran into the outside faucet with the four wheeler. It seems that 6 year olds only know how to keep the trottle down and do not understand the concept of braking. We have now fixed this issue but to the detriment of our faucet and backs. I have to say Riley did a bulk of the digging and getting down in the mud. <br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">Good News is the Faucet is fixed, and the 6 yr old now knows how to control his speed and braking. Hopefully I will soon be able to post on my new soaps I plan on having at the upcoming Dia De Las Muertas show in Bernallio.<br />

We have a ton of used keyboards (we also refurbish computers) and so Christopher (Up until he caught a cold lets hope its not the flu) has been busily pulling off the keys and removing the screws. We have some ideas on how to reuse the keys and the screws always can com in handy. I am going to let this be mainly his project and so what ever recycled art he makes and sells will go toward his piggy bank.

It always gives me such a nice chocolate brown to my soaps. It doesn't matter if I have added titanium dioxide or used a fragrance that discolors. I can always count on my Cocoa. It also seems that whatever other color I use it is always complemented with the brown the Cocoa creates. Plus Chocolate is great for your skin. Above is an example of coloring with Cocoa.

I know I know not very exciting but I have several customers who have such sensitive skin that any Fragrance oils and Essential oils or colorants really effect their skin. I actually love this soap though. I use Lots of Shea and Cocoa butter which leaves the soap with a slight nutty scent. Its very creamy and bubbly that you really don't miss all the other.Body Natural Soaphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13635872371498030235noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7722696494770072878.post-33603802017658684312009-09-15T04:05:00.000-07:002009-09-17T04:35:39.870-07:00Some New Creations and some old complaintsI have been busily been working on a new customers order and have of course been neglecting my blogging again. I really need more time in a day and it would help if I was oh say 25 and full of energy. I recently turned the big 4-0. Isn't it funny how any age with a zero at the end seems major. Or is that just me. I had a hard time turning twenty and thirty and now forty. I know, I know how could I have a hard time turning twenty. It was a kind of "Oh no I am not a teenager anymore and now I have to responsibility and still I can't go to the bar." Although I already was going to the bars. I think it was a more of the I have to take responsibility now. No more oh it's cause I am a <span style="font-weight: bold;">TEEN</span>ager. Thirty was hard because I remember my mom being Thirty and thinking that was old. Also twenty all of a sudden seemed so young and free. So I guess the years ending with a zero feel like turning points really.<br /><br />I have also turned into one of those moms. You know, the kind that has their child into everything. I had Chris going to Chess, Soccer, and Gymnastics. Well I had to let him let go of chess (He wasn't that into it). The Chess coach said he was really getting it and would be able to do the tournament this year, but Chris really didn't care for it. Just as well he really needs to have some cool down time between activities and School.<br /><br />I really have been busy creating some new soaps for a really cute store in Albuquerque. Vintage Cowgirl is the name of the Store and Joann the owner is such a fantastic person. I have created 6 different soaps that will be carried on a regular basis in her store. I am also working on creating a Vintage Cowgirl Soap. Below are a couple of the soaps.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkc0KLdERBHcc8iDml049G3eH6j3UuQ1EP1J_4X3A_j1ltNbgUa1kTvmYbr9qh-CdQQBj2imOr-1HLgYDKu8uk4yiZFB7BkHGWjoojCSsNCQgiIfP9ejFvsxbPq49CqWClFZeQkQqIduVt/s1600-h/LemonVerbena1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 242px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkc0KLdERBHcc8iDml049G3eH6j3UuQ1EP1J_4X3A_j1ltNbgUa1kTvmYbr9qh-CdQQBj2imOr-1HLgYDKu8uk4yiZFB7BkHGWjoojCSsNCQgiIfP9ejFvsxbPq49CqWClFZeQkQqIduVt/s320/LemonVerbena1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382391551736998994" border="0" /></a><br />LEMON VERBENA <br /><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 209px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCtX41wFHZGyxQe-uKZxXKWiUlySb7uXFSAniqr9rK98QCST8f4N83-lroFRXqwL3kp4lbCrOzhn5ScAvvF55oMZeB6VyrhmJAklryXOrP0ARvu_fbk9q1RJO8BDYDF6qy8DPQ8bA-iHAb/s320/Gingerpear1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382391549507014674" border="0" /><br />GINGER PEAR<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiviX_vM2I2Dxkh5xEJ5zOa_W5YqyXp9z7CfNlRx3DKuzehcBHkhtRZdBiwsnCamVCMifU-u0BcRwbLmMM8tcfEnmDLf90hAGBH9Zn_loGDmUd2txYoOCiZSWcTfdp0x8s0gajVru58MCAf/s1600-h/lickmeallover3.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 194px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiviX_vM2I2Dxkh5xEJ5zOa_W5YqyXp9z7CfNlRx3DKuzehcBHkhtRZdBiwsnCamVCMifU-u0BcRwbLmMM8tcfEnmDLf90hAGBH9Zn_loGDmUd2txYoOCiZSWcTfdp0x8s0gajVru58MCAf/s320/lickmeallover3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382391541638260578" border="0" /></a><br />LICK ME ALL OVER<br /><br />Her Store will also carry Lavender, Heather & Hyacinth, and Apple Jack Peal.

She is located in Old Town at<br /><h2 style="font-family: arial; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size:100%;">328 San Felipe St NW Ste H<br /> Albuquerque, NM 87104.</span></h2><br />Also I created a new bar called the Snazey Caffeinated Salt Bar. This is named after one of my customers that suggested it. It is a combination of a Concentrated Coffee brew and Grounds, Utah Red Sea Salt, and a load of Shea butter and Coconut oil. My Customer loved my original Utah Red Sea Salt Bar and thought it would be interesting to add coffee. Not only is coffee a great deoderizer but some people contende it helps reduce the apperance of celulite.<br /><br />I added in a little Cocoa powder and some Chocolate Fragrance oil to give it a little of that Mocha Coffee scent. I have tried it in the shower and I must say I am a little addicted. It is scrubby, but I like it scrubby, and I love the soft scent.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh48o4oFb1h5qhtXdYHfQHx58a2NIRjNZt8LC9bT-jEKICQUQYHUuy1sGdcGOe4NNTQ0OjR3dU2Y1UdStA1S9JoMlJHLrR-52coI7_74DNZcT0mOjs2MzQRGnc_jC1sR6Ng5fyV4ppUVAu/s1600-h/CaffinatedSaltscrub4.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh48o4oFb1h5qhtXdYHfQHx58a2NIRjNZt8LC9bT-jEKICQUQYHUuy1sGdcGOe4NNTQ0OjR3dU2Y1UdStA1S9JoMlJHLrR-52coI7_74DNZcT0mOjs2MzQRGnc_jC1sR6Ng5fyV4ppUVAu/s320/CaffinatedSaltscrub4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382391561412464450" border="0" /></a><br /><br />OK now for an old complaint. My last post described a lesson I had learned from a fellow Etsian and Soapper. Well I recently ordered two soap from fellow soapers on Etsy and loved both soaps. My problem is I was promt in payment and giving feedback and glowing feedbackat that, but one of the fellow soapers has yet to give me feedback and does not respond to my convo's. Not that I really need the feedback but I see that this shop gives feed back all the time. I also have found out that the Soaper who admonished me for not being more freindly in my emails with her and done this to other soapers and has gone as far as threatning to give bad reviews. So my question is, is the soaper community becoming one or those communitys with jelousy and hurtful. The one thing I have always loved about the Soaper community is that we have always been supportive and helpful. Well I will now be a little more careful, but I will not give into envy. I love seeing others soapers work it helps me to be inspired and want to push the limits.Body Natural Soaphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13635872371498030235noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7722696494770072878.post-78044577802470044692009-08-11T12:05:00.000-07:002009-08-11T12:31:37.182-07:00Valuble Lesson in Etiquette Today.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAdq2mKH5ePUij0xGKTpcbD8cLXgAWWQXkRmao1-9AIbFPXVZ43jWSzbucC_Jf-3H9_vVkX7DJm3RS7H5kfm33pcjcXM-4Mg7-H4BycdcSol-z1s8ZCdxj6PRqpAneHAuD3yI2IxEWwRoO/s1600-h/humble.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 121px; HEIGHT: 187px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368790903391951634" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAdq2mKH5ePUij0xGKTpcbD8cLXgAWWQXkRmao1-9AIbFPXVZ43jWSzbucC_Jf-3H9_vVkX7DJm3RS7H5kfm33pcjcXM-4Mg7-H4BycdcSol-z1s8ZCdxj6PRqpAneHAuD3yI2IxEWwRoO/s320/humble.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmFeUDYnLH_fm6WzuEVw7IDhHBUUgDkoGcbM8ObJeVBDpe0IDTw05VmbpdGdCZgf2xVhgDOPvJ_134AtareW5wIQv6SGMb9YASQI4oT8F6mY-JhSV44fwoyzmqVWDntwwNkABqBvtcYn69/s1600-h/boy+and+his+dog+4.jpg"></a><br /><br /><div>Today I learned a valuable lesson in Etiquette. I lost a sale from a fellow Etsyan ( Is that a word). I was scolded for my lack of friendliness during a conversation through Etsy. The person decided that I was so unfriendly that she would rather buy from someone else. Ouch such a hard pill to swallow. I looked back at the email exchanged and did see where I wasn't exactly friendly. I don't believe I was Rude but I wasn't friendly either. </div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>Below is the exchange (minus Names):</div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>(Fellow Etsian)<br />Hello and greetings from XX. I don't recall ever seeing Shea butter priced so low and I want to know if I purchase tonight when will you ship it out? No worries because I always pay immediately...I am thinking of 1-2 lbs...........thanks</div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>(Me)</div><br /><br /><div>Yes That will be no problem also I ship Priority</div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>(Fellow Etsian)</div><br /><br /><div>Ok, but once you receive payment how long does it take you to ship out if i paid tonite?</div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>(Me)</div><br /><br /><div>If you paid today I will ship tomorrow.</div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>(Fellow Etsian)</div><br /><br /><div>I decided to go with another Etsy seller because you don't seem friendly at all. You never included any sort of greeting, didn't say your name and most of all you never bothered to thank me for stopping by...I consider all these factors before buying on or offline.Sorry</div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>So you see here folks it is not enough to have a good product or good prices but you also have to have good customer service skill also. Looking back at this exchange I wanted to think that the person was being unreasonable, but really is it too much to ask to be treated well and feel that the shop is grateful for your business or even the least bit happy that you stopped by. I did not show that in any of my exchanges.</div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>I know my reasoning for the quick responses. I was getting a large order finalized, finishing cleaning up for company and preparing my sons school supplies for first grade. So when I answered the email I wrote quick responses and sent them off. Looking back now I realize that I could have taken a couple of minutes (At most 2 min) and wrote a nice appreciative response.</div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>Lesson learned I will now be more open and friendly thank you Fellow Etsian for a valuble lesson.<a href="http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.evacassidy.com/artwork/humble.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.evacassidy.com/artwork/humble.htm&usg=__CWU23cXgI0XcxJ2EQFplMk4nk18=&h=517&w=298&sz=18&hl=en&start=11&sig2=89LEH2zdHmiEDz59bwLFeQ&um=1&tbnid=d1KrFoV6kgDKPM:&tbnh=131&tbnw=76&prev=/images%3Fq%3DHumble%26hl%3Den%26rls%3Dcom.microsoft:en-US%26sa%3DN%26um%3D1&ei=v8WBSvaOEpjwtAPVyrTzCQ"></a><a href="http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.evacassidy.com/artwork/humble.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.evacassidy.com/artwork/humble.htm&usg=__CWU23cXgI0XcxJ2EQFplMk4nk18=&h=517&w=298&sz=18&hl=en&start=11&sig2=89LEH2zdHmiEDz59bwLFeQ&um=1&tbnid=d1KrFoV6kgDKPM:&tbnh=131&tbnw=76&prev=/images%3Fq%3DHumble%26hl%3Den%26rls%3Dcom.microsoft:en-US%26sa%3DN%26um%3D1&ei=v8WBSvaOEpjwtAPVyrTzCQ"></a></div><br /><br /><div></div></div>Body Natural Soaphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13635872371498030235noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7722696494770072878.post-78372668616052277202009-07-26T16:03:00.000-07:002009-07-26T19:45:55.254-07:00Soap, Sewing and Fabulous Christopher PicsHere are some of my new soap along with my ever so busy wine soap.

The last show I did was the Dia De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead). To go along with the theme I made several white skull soaps and some Hemp oil melt and pour soaps. I left some unpainted and hand painted several others with soap paint that I ordered from PJ's Soaps. Unfortunately I really don't have any real good pics of those but here are the few that I did take.

Not overly sweet but fragrant such as a freshly cut roses right after a rain.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.79582796.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 431px; height: 374px;" src="http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.79582796.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br />The next soap is also very lovely, also made with Shea butter and coconut oil with soap is masculine soap but gentle enough for a woman. This Drakkar type scent is a sharp, spicy, lavender, amber fragrance. This masculine scent possesses a blend of lavender, citrus, spicy berries and sandalwood.<br /><br />Perfect for either a man or a woman. It is really like the slipping into my husbands tee shirt and snuggling up on a rainy day. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.79585696.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 499px; height: 264px;" src="http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.79585696.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.79585342.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 573px; height: 486px;" src="http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.79585342.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Body Natural Soaphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13635872371498030235noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7722696494770072878.post-38422947787216787322009-07-11T17:39:00.000-07:002009-07-11T18:18:27.526-07:00Whipped Soap FinalyHere I put on my trusty whipping attachment and whipped that color and the fragrance in.

This stuff goes through many transformations during the cooking stage. I may have forgotten to tell you that the entire time I have my crock pot on low and through our the cooking stage I stir the soap with my hand blender. Once the soap has gone from its separation stage it gets to a thick applesauce phase. I tried very hard to take clear pics so that you could see each phase.<br /><br /><br />It is important that you keep an eye on your soap through this phase I would continue to stir every couple of minutes.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2tO2f2csqMmQbmLpd4oiJu9wVKjfwIgLY1JheacnM9lVwelvKLN9_HU6chPvpDCFwknClIhry55ljXsi6P9Zd3oMhfirJWV51L2WsnLhsKy3UtpxsD6bOcLO7KhUaATt5fb9fa_NteDiK/s1600-h/whipped+soap9.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2tO2f2csqMmQbmLpd4oiJu9wVKjfwIgLY1JheacnM9lVwelvKLN9_HU6chPvpDCFwknClIhry55ljXsi6P9Zd3oMhfirJWV51L2WsnLhsKy3UtpxsD6bOcLO7KhUaATt5fb9fa_NteDiK/s320/whipped+soap9.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353845802949570178" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxZKoD3XPYnaL9PWUycCmVasLKvixF9Z8uxd5-RchzOsixYDWr7ffUHibhQwiMnkuPGpPUDJJVVPpOB3Y-CtCMyUTj843-jJRswyGvDXH7JN1xU4h3ffNgRfdQzjnDEfhoL61ddPVFa6md/s1600-h/whipped+soap12.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxZKoD3XPYnaL9PWUycCmVasLKvixF9Z8uxd5-RchzOsixYDWr7ffUHibhQwiMnkuPGpPUDJJVVPpOB3Y-CtCMyUTj843-jJRswyGvDXH7JN1xU4h3ffNgRfdQzjnDEfhoL61ddPVFa6md/s320/whipped+soap12.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353845814863154914" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5F9uOD2N78sqFf9DNKOgGSnSUjRJAEQpVW2JaeZgXJaI41YxZt7wwuuxi7cpXyg2hC3yoYuMjjrYmBzOFMGkkZvV2yi3TGoJHR3Ny8Uu0vt8vhmvoORsMuZq4G-gP1HI-lHFY1TRNnnaT/s1600-h/whipped+soap10.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5F9uOD2N78sqFf9DNKOgGSnSUjRJAEQpVW2JaeZgXJaI41YxZt7wwuuxi7cpXyg2hC3yoYuMjjrYmBzOFMGkkZvV2yi3TGoJHR3Ny8Uu0vt8vhmvoORsMuZq4G-gP1HI-lHFY1TRNnnaT/s320/whipped+soap10.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353845810550495938" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Once you see this the soap will cook for a couple more minutes before it goes through the "I am going to puff up triple my size" phase.<br /><br /><br />During this puffy phase you need to continuously stir it down. I had the first batch go over the crock pot. This is one reason that you only want the oils to fill 1/3 you crock pot ( So for my recipe you need a rather large crock pot, I suppose you could also use the double broiler method also).<br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2ytLrIYpEzbnOhqrGZkx32jl4DocQ52xMrxRjhniY9Oi3Eqy4obBdb4eTiyTitUC5mHUGVTGqR_bN7yTwCKuftjHDi_TjbLVHDCOvDO-ENnvfe4lrtMs2YaKfwEsEEAIVXnYvpgVhMXZG/s1600-h/whipped+soap13.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2ytLrIYpEzbnOhqrGZkx32jl4DocQ52xMrxRjhniY9Oi3Eqy4obBdb4eTiyTitUC5mHUGVTGqR_bN7yTwCKuftjHDi_TjbLVHDCOvDO-ENnvfe4lrtMs2YaKfwEsEEAIVXnYvpgVhMXZG/s320/whipped+soap13.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353845821321503970" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgVquSznmP5kTXU6ooN5Vdjcz15c6rhg-cjskW3D14BqJf0DCmzKVfGD7LoIx35AGIPbvv2eNB78ONWTT8sGkhqrZS6MInCqS-0IunxaaEfPYdtNlr3TSZWzYrBIaqR-2GZT_R3z_KnaWg/s1600-h/whipped+soap18.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgVquSznmP5kTXU6ooN5Vdjcz15c6rhg-cjskW3D14BqJf0DCmzKVfGD7LoIx35AGIPbvv2eNB78ONWTT8sGkhqrZS6MInCqS-0IunxaaEfPYdtNlr3TSZWzYrBIaqR-2GZT_R3z_KnaWg/s320/whipped+soap18.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353845823878976562" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgVquSznmP5kTXU6ooN5Vdjcz15c6rhg-cjskW3D14BqJf0DCmzKVfGD7LoIx35AGIPbvv2eNB78ONWTT8sGkhqrZS6MInCqS-0IunxaaEfPYdtNlr3TSZWzYrBIaqR-2GZT_R3z_KnaWg/s1600-h/whipped+soap18.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgVquSznmP5kTXU6ooN5Vdjcz15c6rhg-cjskW3D14BqJf0DCmzKVfGD7LoIx35AGIPbvv2eNB78ONWTT8sGkhqrZS6MInCqS-0IunxaaEfPYdtNlr3TSZWzYrBIaqR-2GZT_R3z_KnaWg/s320/whipped+soap18.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353845823878976562" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_SdV6g5h8A8jZKegKj00ECeKvu3-e8SzaoUlASFGJw9i7ph0zVDsvkuIuc9Ht9i-I2YQA4veY23tnD8g7_QE_qTVY2tfK0c7yJ9kHc8PcmUHoHjT08HTVf8zj8XpGR92CchliCk4hK60N/s1600-h/whipped+soap20.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_SdV6g5h8A8jZKegKj00ECeKvu3-e8SzaoUlASFGJw9i7ph0zVDsvkuIuc9Ht9i-I2YQA4veY23tnD8g7_QE_qTVY2tfK0c7yJ9kHc8PcmUHoHjT08HTVf8zj8XpGR92CchliCk4hK60N/s320/whipped+soap20.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353847542597247554" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />Once it has finished the Puffy phase and calms down it goes into a gel phase.

The other important thing I learned is patience. What seems to be too thick of a soap later will soften up and be way to runny. Do not add to much water and let the soap set for 24 hours before trying to whip (Actually 48 hours is better).<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfQ_CDj9hu8rF2naK0WBXRtuIAAGa7H-jdw0Ygencyej0hmVU90YS9hnXD9A-GBX9dYYHefFpVEhXDCL1umtNK3OCOuLrbQ7-ZwtNdCMPH8bgpuCXAN61az7sIs0jpirzCSFcU_Q9VHZ3z/s1600-h/whipped+soap1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfQ_CDj9hu8rF2naK0WBXRtuIAAGa7H-jdw0Ygencyej0hmVU90YS9hnXD9A-GBX9dYYHefFpVEhXDCL1umtNK3OCOuLrbQ7-ZwtNdCMPH8bgpuCXAN61az7sIs0jpirzCSFcU_Q9VHZ3z/s200/whipped+soap1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353076812127392434" border="0" /></a><br />I used a crock pot for this but I suppose a double boiler could also work. Also this soap foams up to over double its size at one point so make sure you crock pot or boiler has the room. I melt my oils on high in the crock pot.

We decided to install wood floors and I can't tell you how disorganized that made my already disorganized house. I have been able to get some soap made. I made some whipped soap and so far so good. I have tried it in the shower and I must say with just a little tiny dip with your bath poof and it is suds galore. I am not putting it up for sell yet I want to see if it holds in the whipped form. I will be making some cream soap soon which is very simular to the whipped (Just not whipped).<br /><br />The Cream and whipped cream soap I do in a crock-pot.

I also was inspired by Bramble Berry's Cup cake Frositing. I always make CP soap cupcakes for all my craft fairs and festivals. They attract a lot of attention and help produce sells mainly because people will want to ask questions which leads to me being able to show them other items. I decided to use the Bubble bath frosting to top them off this time instead of whipped CP soap. I really like how they look. So now I can sell a 2 for 1 Soap on the bottom and Bubble bath on the top. LOVE IT. Thanks to Anne-Marie and her hard working crew. The CP bottom is scented with 7up pound cake and the bubble bath is Carrot Cake. I will most likely make some bombs and regular Cup cake soaps.<br /><br />I also make a Bunt Cake CP soap. I did cheat and use melt and pour for the icing. This is scented with yellow cake, cinnamon bun and a little almond. I used cocoa in the Melt and pour for color.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1V3LZDUvYzy8NQFUn9d2Z2nWBVSpuWHqBmdrPyvj9wSgD0ShjbW9CYLu-avfeQi0J7H00y3s55Kx3TXdpO9_0wza0pQbxvyNVWzfFJ7aUUmR-DwyQsluCkPBHrOxuUqnN7jRujwjxQDUm/s1600-h/Buntcake.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 152px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1V3LZDUvYzy8NQFUn9d2Z2nWBVSpuWHqBmdrPyvj9wSgD0ShjbW9CYLu-avfeQi0J7H00y3s55Kx3TXdpO9_0wza0pQbxvyNVWzfFJ7aUUmR-DwyQsluCkPBHrOxuUqnN7jRujwjxQDUm/s200/Buntcake.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5318724307403589826" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUEUkqJHoCcEUDHngpIZFhUpGHBnVUiNd7igFvY0oQyb7lLu-l_pt5PHAcxxS67n8w1wqU41NfccW2Q2JsJ6CT2sDnRcBqpAjDTRelR9So9YxsUFga45GKNVS5-IbaplRrCV4Ihi57Z96Y/s1600-h/Buntcake2.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 161px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUEUkqJHoCcEUDHngpIZFhUpGHBnVUiNd7igFvY0oQyb7lLu-l_pt5PHAcxxS67n8w1wqU41NfccW2Q2JsJ6CT2sDnRcBqpAjDTRelR9So9YxsUFga45GKNVS5-IbaplRrCV4Ihi57Z96Y/s200/Buntcake2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5318724858957418498" border="0" /></a>Body Natural Soaphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13635872371498030235noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7722696494770072878.post-19347476046092798922009-03-18T17:57:00.000-07:002009-03-18T18:18:44.350-07:00Spring Soap Bars Cut<span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Here is the new soap logs have been cut and I am not to disappointed although I had higher hopes for the Easter Lavender Bars. I really thought I would hate the Lemon Verbena but I have grown to like it. The Citrus Rock Garden bars are wonderful. They smell green with a hint of citrus. Very soothing yet eye opening. I am not sure how I am going to like the salt in them yet. A friend of mine purchased some Utah Red Salt and asked me to make him some salt bars. The Salt is supposed to have 50 trace minerals in it so I guess it would be like soaking in a mineral bath just in your shower.<br /><br /><br /><br /></span><a style="font-family: arial;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgah_aIQQ00JWK24HIODOj4fnjPZxicXcUAnC7fKK9-ZB6qdtAjJ-Zdk6GlzlrveCD6Dqm4zPAg6pxmV4opH-JJL9sVN8uKh7tFARrYatHVtTlOQ85EjsGDlJ24MfaY3oBqMfqPHinZRTjG/s1600-h/Easterlavander1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;

Really to busy to even to make soap. It really has been awhile since I was able to make soap other than Wine Soap. I really need to batch up on the wine soap also.

The first is a Soap loaded with Utah Red Salt that a friend requested. The other is my attempt at making a gloppy top. Hmmm not sure but with the Lavender essential oil and rosemary I think it will still be a keeper. I also made a lemon Verbena batch but it set up quickly so it is not exactly how I was imagining it. I think the lavender and the lemon logs will redeem themselves once they are cut. The Salt Soap is 70% Coconut Oil and 20% shea and 10% olive oil. The others all have Coconut, Palm, Olive Oil, Sweet Almond, Shea, conola, and Grapeseed oil.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR8yXqenjHQ9aV1wnKD0GmDPcUuT3WhEwmYEuP2Ycu5N_VqEd1N2bz8GudkzrVEz91_JtrsdEDIWPhOlmjncWBfnbZHLumF0OR4Rnht5hTLI71kLQULNPRtka9Hk9r-LGKfDIPFA25ByiN/s1600-h/springsoap4.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR8yXqenjHQ9aV1wnKD0GmDPcUuT3WhEwmYEuP2Ycu5N_VqEd1N2bz8GudkzrVEz91_JtrsdEDIWPhOlmjncWBfnbZHLumF0OR4Rnht5hTLI71kLQULNPRtka9Hk9r-LGKfDIPFA25ByiN/s200/springsoap4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314187856659054514" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB71SSWRRZ1m4W-ymr7-iryMk4MFtb-VHf1DsFu__ZclzGwWcIftgf6anPn6sggV89FVnbSLKWNS_OFu8Zdl8oPIQJDSdD01wGPDnsL0Fuufol8BVW1pefazWp3XfFd8aeHhuXHlgSl0rg/s1600-h/springsoap2.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB71SSWRRZ1m4W-ymr7-iryMk4MFtb-VHf1DsFu__ZclzGwWcIftgf6anPn6sggV89FVnbSLKWNS_OFu8Zdl8oPIQJDSdD01wGPDnsL0Fuufol8BVW1pefazWp3XfFd8aeHhuXHlgSl0rg/s200/springsoap2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314187858434520002" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgeJfwekQC0kDKpHlmnd32TbN_2cxzrJel6ygRfkyCWV-Yo3tD4VEk9AOR3rMY2dklikBzDFkv02edzZAr7yM3AW6q6O30A6YA5se7WQG0o36anPhy3wzZ5SwcftYLzDfzl_bDTWMBf2DY/s1600-h/springsoap1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgeJfwekQC0kDKpHlmnd32TbN_2cxzrJel6ygRfkyCWV-Yo3tD4VEk9AOR3rMY2dklikBzDFkv02edzZAr7yM3AW6q6O30A6YA5se7WQG0o36anPhy3wzZ5SwcftYLzDfzl_bDTWMBf2DY/s200/springsoap1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314187857478954530" border="0" /></a>Body Natural Soaphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13635872371498030235noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7722696494770072878.post-210634473054225042009-02-21T08:04:00.000-08:002009-02-21T08:51:58.476-08:00I'm Back and ready to Post agian.<span style="font-size:130%;"><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">I really had to take so time out. I also did not want my blog to become about my sadness with the puppies. To up date you both Maddie and Cody did not make it. For them the end was quite quick but for me and especially my 5 year old (Now Six, he had a birthday) it was very long and sad. The Vet said that we really need to wait over a year or more before we bring in another dog. The Parvo can live for a very long time in the ground. We took the puppies and Buried them in the country under a wonderful pinon tree. My son thought the place was nice and that they would like it there.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">I really had a hard time with it and now I am trying to focus on all the wonderful healthy animals we do have.

He is a great friend with more love for his family than any other dog. He is very well behaved (except when he digs out of the yard to vist the girl down the road, which resulted in a large vet bill). He is getting old (over 12) and has hip problems but still loves to chase the Nitro Car</span><object style="font-family: arial;" height="295" width="480"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/qeaQKO8Hl68&hl=en&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/qeaQKO8Hl68&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="295" width="480"></embed></object><span style="font-family:arial;">.

The Geese are cry babies and complainers. They love to throw dirt in to fresh water. I don't think that they could stand to see fresh clean water and not throw dirt in it. When we allow all the animals out the first thing the geese do is run around from pen to pen and trow dirt in all the watering troughs for the other animals. The other funny thing about them is I always now when my guy gets home because they immediately start honking up a storm. The ducks just follow the geese every where.<br /><br /><br /></span><a style="font-family: arial;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj880PoxolMDVdmq4NH_AlbnjV5VVZk37ve6mJe8FqPWds9kekwN9Q70IkRegrfVwEO80gMC5bCqieyyiBx3X-AcbzQoJYBW8xZMnoYCq7tKzQiWG8qjRxmx6Xl7U9_N-AVB4n5ZlHuvBIP/s1600-h/MyAnimals7.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj880PoxolMDVdmq4NH_AlbnjV5VVZk37ve6mJe8FqPWds9kekwN9Q70IkRegrfVwEO80gMC5bCqieyyiBx3X-AcbzQoJYBW8xZMnoYCq7tKzQiWG8qjRxmx6Xl7U9_N-AVB4n5ZlHuvBIP/s200/MyAnimals7.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5305289974634015202" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">The Chickens are funny also. When let out they immediately run to busters kennel to see if there is any dog food. They will then immediately eat any food that he has left. Funny thing is that Buster will run to there cage to see if there are any scraps of leftovers they they did not eat. (The chickens get most our table scrapes). We have one red hen that came from my families ranch. She is a tad ornery. If a bird lands in the yard she will chase it tell it leaves and she basically is the boss of all the other chickens. The rooster before he got to the size he is used to run from her.

We have to spray bleach around the property and wipe everything that Cody can come in contact with with bleach. Seems that Bleach is the only thing that kill Parvo. Right now Cody seems healthy but the vet states that she may just not be showing signs. The only help for Maddie is to remain on IV and Antibiotics and cross your fingers.

Maddie is Sick I am taking her to the vet today but she is acting just like the other puppy that we adopted. I am so scarred. If it is so then I will not be able to ever adopt another pup from the shelter. I just can't take it. I took her and Cody to the shelter on Tuesday for there next round of immunization and ever since that Maddie has not acted well. Having these puppies be so happy and healthy for so long I am just beside myself that they may now becoming ill. My guy and I have already decided that there is no way we can spend as much on these little guys if they are sick as we did on the last puppy. We spent close to a thousand on the last puppy and with Parvo its just really difficult to save them.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Well send Maddie and Cody your prayers.</span></span>Body Natural Soaphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13635872371498030235noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7722696494770072878.post-51692355912013823132009-02-03T11:47:00.000-08:002009-02-03T12:41:38.379-08:00Our New adopted Girls (Puppies)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeZ4PCieeIFnDbGS2c7fNVdvpamqm1Lr7G-mHKMujyZPozv3Zi-ia_KeHdASgxPFsnOETEJEwJdP0qgvePKyx62TSXO6QrJ6kt2sdzd8qrOsJYsZEQnKyOLv_J6cyabBX1y9GMb7pBHdpu/s1600-h/07-12-08_1603.jpg"><blockquote><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeZ4PCieeIFnDbGS2c7fNVdvpamqm1Lr7G-mHKMujyZPozv3Zi-ia_KeHdASgxPFsnOETEJEwJdP0qgvePKyx62TSXO6QrJ6kt2sdzd8qrOsJYsZEQnKyOLv_J6cyabBX1y9GMb7pBHdpu/s320/07-12-08_1603.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298668728758786466" border="0" /></blockquote></a><blockquote>This is Oso the day we adopted her.

I will be putting this one on Etsy. It is filled with 9 wonderful, extremely moisturizing Shea and cocoa butter bath melts. Very yummy. Each melt is at least 1.2 Oz. That is more than enough for one bath. I found this fabric and fell in love with it. It is definitely not your average fabric for Valentines day.
