Hi Colleen-

I had a seize once when I used TAL, even though I didn't do my usual water

discount. It wasn't so bad that I couldn't get it into the mold, but there were

air pockets in it and the surface was bumpy. I still sliced it and left the top

with the rough surface-I wrapped it in saran with a label on back and wrapped a

ribbon around it-it was a huge seller! I would say, just cut it into random

" chunks " and wrap it however you like and sell it! Just write in the weight of

each bar and decide on a price. As long as the soap came out ok, it will still

be wonderful! It's sort of nice to have a different type of soap, and true soap

lovers appreciate soap in any funky shapes, anyway!

Jeanine-I am still doing inventory (ugh!!) and sorry but I never found those

gusseted basket bags. I must have used them all for my baskets, but I didn't

remember selling 25 baskets! If they turn up I will email you off list. When I

get a free minute I will do a garage sale-lots of stuff available. I don't plan

to stop making soap, but I realized I don't need 4 wooden soap molds! I will

probably sell at least two of them.

Gabby, was it you who made the beautiful burgundy-wine colored soap for our

product swap at last year's gathering? (forgive me if I have the wrong person).

Well, it matches my bathroom perfectly and it is almost gone and I need more, if

you have more. Please email me off list, if you have some to sell. It was

wonderful! I don't have time to make any right now. (anyway, I love buying

other soapmaker's soaps!)

Shaye-good luck with Fred. I'll be in touch ;-)
