Holiday Time!
    Soap making classes have been going well. It's always so interesting to see what other people make! Sometimes the oddest sounding combinations can be the most delightful. Clove and tea tree??? Who'da thought??
    As the holidays approach we are busy making Candy Cane Soap and Holiday Spice. Last year we made our first batch of Mocha Mint and that's been a hit. Soap that smells just like a Peppermint Patty! Coloring it was a challenge however since it tends to "tan" as a consequence of the mocha oil we used. You soapers who have used anythig with a vanilla base will know what I mean.
    I recently went a bit wild with one of my oil suppliers and as a result we have some yummy new fragrances to play with: Raspberry, Ginger Milk, Pumpkin Pie Spice, Egyptian Musk and Myrrh to name a few.
    I can't seem to bottle up Clove and Cinnamon fast enough and the Bayberry fragrance is going well too.  I splurged and got some real Frankincense e/o, and a Tangerine e/o that makes my mouth water. Can't wait to try them out.
    The price of Patchouli remains sky-high which is a drag because it works so well in cold process soap and blends with almost everything. I recently made a test batch of Patchouli with Grapefruit, Orange and Vetiver. I like it , but then I've been wearing patchouli for over 30 years. (Yikes! Does that date me or what!)
    If you're making soap for Christmas gifts better get it on the drying racks NOW. Hand made soaps need to cure for at least 4 weeks before they are used. Like fine wine, cheese and women....soaps get better with age!  I must be nearly perfect!

Be well and keep on soapin'
