I wanted to show you the results of my "Making Memories" magnetic stamp set purchase. I found this fabulous tip on the Addicted to Soap Blog. I've tried stamping my soap before using my hubby's leather stamps, but it was really hard to put words together...letter #1 ~STAMP!~ ....letter #2 ~STAMP!~....letter #3 ~STAMP!~ Let me just say right now that I do NOT possess the patience for such an endeavor!
The stamp set is pretty cool, although I am going to have the hubby glue the letters onto a wooden block for me. It will be more stable and hopefully the letters won't shift around at all. There are several of each letter, so I may be able to get more than just one stamp out of this set. Maybe next time I'll break down and have a custom stamp made, but this was so cheap compared to that! (Michael's has 40% off their stamps and stamp sets now!)
I liked the way this photo looked so much that I put it on my website header. BTW, I'm going to try to go without "tweaking" the website for a month. Can you even imagine that? It's going to take a lot of "grrrrr" on my part, but I have realized what a gigantic waste of time it can be. I'm just never satisfied, I guess.
Ready to make some new colored (naturally) soap. I received my alkanet root powder, and my carrot tissue oil and boy I am just so excited to try them! Hopefully my coconut oil will be in tomorrow, and I can get back to soaping. I'll post my experiments soon...my ideas have really been percolating!
Happy Skin, all!

Looks Great! Hubby is going to try and help me make a custom stamp using sculpey and a resin cast . . . who knows who will win - us or the craft material!
I saw that post about the stamps too! Still have the page bookmarked, but I've already had a custom stamp of my company logo made and I just don't have the time to stamp all of my soaps with it! Yours looks great!
Courtney, please let me know how the custom stamp project works. I would love to experiment with something like that someday. I thought about carving wood, but I don't know if that would work. Plus, I might hurt myself! : )
Amy, I think a stamp is the way to go. I have no idea what I would put on a logo, and the way I change my mind I might spend a small fortune trying to decide! : )
I will let you know for sure! Our idea is following along from this tutorial http://www.tortugasoaps.com.au/customstamp.htmlI don't want to use plaster of paris though, that's why we are going to try the sculpey instead.
Oh my god!!!! I absolutely love it!!!!!! xo Jen
