Sunflower,

M & P is melt and pour soap. You can purchase it online or at your local craft

store. I imagine there are differing levels of quality, but I don't do it

much, so do not really know. At it's most simple, you just melt it and pour

it into molds. The people that use it a lot add many extra goodies,

nutrients, scents, colors, and much more.

any help.

Hi Mountain Lady;

The rose petals will turn your soap black. I know because I put some dried

crushed rose petals in some melt and pour soap the soap turned a blackish

purple (real ugly) and the rose petals turned a nasty black also. But the

soap did smell good with the n rose scent that I used.

So maybe if you color the soap a dark red or purple you can't see the uglieness.

Do you think that would work. I want my soap to look good as well as smell

good. What do you think?

Ahhh, I didn't think to add leaves. That will most definitely help!

School gets out next week and for once I am ahead of the game. I took two

days off from teaching to just get gifts ready and I only needed one day off

since I joined this list and learned a few ideas! What a great list!!!

Thanks everybody! Sincerely, ReBecca

-- Rose Petals

Wax paper---no reason ReBecca....just, usually the wax paper will make

for a flat side if you have a lot of M & P on your petal. but hay! if it

works for you...go for it! there is no absolute right or wrong way to

do these....only ideas..... as for the petals...when looking for the

ones you take a part..(they really can be less expensive)..look for good

shaped, color, quality, and price...when it come to silk flowers,,,, not

all are created equal...oh! and don't forget to toss in a few leaves ...

really makes them look even better....

Thank you Sherry,

I do remember previous posts about rose petals and other items

turning brown in the soaps. Never paid much attention since I was

not a soaper. So what benefit would the rose petals impart to the

soap? Would they just be attractive for a short amount of time?

Would they impart fragrance?

That recipe seemed so easy, but wouldn't the Ivory soap be frosty

in color and hide any rose petals inside? What about using a clear

glycerin soap bar? Or half Ivor & half glycerin?

Sherry,

You remind me of a woman I knew 20+ years ago who in her Senior

years was saddened because her and hubby never had children. They

volunteered to host bible study in their home once a week. Of the 3

dozen or so study groups, Rachal had the largest group of teens up

to early 20's. One of the largest and most youthful bible study

groups in church. To end the story, she was mom to all of us with an

answer to all our questions. At a time in her life when she most

needed kids, we were there for her and her for us.

Thanks for the time you spend answering these questions!
