Love & Bubbles - Cut

So fun!

Love & Bubbles - In The Mold

This soap was so fun to make and the kind that I get so excited about. I love color and I tend to soap with multiple colors in each soap. I'm experimenting with some new colors that are replacing my POP colors and I'm so happy with them.

I'm calling this soap Love & Bubbles which is probably a totally tacky name but I like it so whatevs. ;-) It is scented in a bubbly, effervescent, ginger ale, champagne type scent. It is very nice and my kids thought it smelled like 7-UP. It was definitely a favorite for them!

Sprinkles & Twinkles Holiday Edition

Now curing!

Fun & Festive!

Yesterday I whipped up the last two holiday soaps. I made Sprinkles & Twinkles - Holiday Edition and a remake of Holly Jolly. I had great fun and it's nice to know that they will soon all be sitting pretty on the shelf getting all lovely and luxurious for the holiday season. I do love my soaps to have a nice long cure.

Sprinkles & Twinkles - Holiday Edition - unscented as always but jazzed up with more festive holiday sprinkles -

Holly Jolly 2012 - a remake from last year - this scent is like walking into the floral shop during the holidays - the scent is described as 'notes of clean, fresh winter air, earthy, leafy greens, ylang, and black tea with a solid base of musk, sandalwood and fir.' This scent is a fave!

I did video the making of both of these soaps. I'll include the Holly Jolly video here once it is uploaded.

I hope to make two more this weekend!

It's That Time Again!

It's time to make the soaps for the holiday season! It seems early for the rest of the world, but for soap makers, this is the time to get our jingle bells on and get to work! And again, by the time the rest of the world is thinking about the holidays, we're thinking of pink, red, hearts, and love. :-)

Merry & Bright 2012 - The perfect holiday scent in my opinion! A festive blend of fir notes balanced by nuances of orange peel, garlands of cranberry, dried lemon slices, golden spun sugar, and a touch of vanilla. A natural colored base with swirls of deep violet, bright blue, and rich gold.

Montana Memories - a scent blend of fir, orange, and pine and colored with green and white swirls. This scent always reminds me of my childhood in Montana and waking up to the beauty of the sparkling snow resting on the pine trees.

I didn't make any videos for these soaps. It has been very difficult processing and uploading my videos recently. My husband convinced me to enjoy some relaxing soap making; jamming out to my favorite music. It was refreshing and fun! I will do a video of my next soap coming up which will be Holly Jolly 2012!
