No, I don't feel like you're pushing one over the other. I'd never seen the site you

talked about so it was nice to check it out. I have one question though.....I don't

make "from scratch" toiletry items like cream or lotion yet. And I don't know if

they would "qualify" M & P as from scratch. Do you know? I may consider joining

in the near future.

Yup, you do the same thing I do as far as the f/o's. That's why it can be expensive

but I'd rather spend $4 - $5 on a small bottle and learn that I don't like it rather than

spend $20 on a bottle and get burned. I have a list on my computer of every f/o I've

purchased, who much it was and who I bought it from. If I don't like it for some reason

I put in big bold letters after it '"DON'T BUY AGAIN." Speaking of f/o's I have the

fine arts mold of a "grape cluster" that I haven't used yet because I don't have any grape

f/o. (shocking, huh?) Does anyone know of a GOOD one that I can try out?

Re: M and G

M ~ Glad you liked the site. Please remember though, I'm not pushing one over another for you......you will have to decide what meets your needs. The discounts average 10%. I have been to trade shows but never ordered anything there.I was interested in your breakdown of the $7000 you've spent and your new grant option. I wish you all the best of luck!I have been actively soaping since 1994 and selling since 1995. I, too have over 100 fos and eos but mine are in one pound amounts. I order tiny amts., try them in 1 lb. batches of CP and HP and then order by the pound or discard the tiny amt. left. All or nothing! By now my list of discards is quite long. I try them again when they've been reformulated. G Coop for vanilla: don't know till you get more details. I use SweetCakes non-discoloring vanilla and it works well. I don't like it alone very much so I blend with it or add Brown Sugar fo to sweeten it. Just ordered Tahini Vanilla (sp?) from Scent Shack.....it's supposed to be vanilla with an exotic note. It will discolor, but swirled with unscented white should be pretty.Hugs:LizzOur members maphttp://.homestead.com/locations.htmlOur Message Boardhttp://www.voy.com/21568/Check out these great Molds!!http://soapwerks.com/martinworld.htmAll posts to this list are copyrighted by post author.
