My Christmas Soaps So Far...

"Holy Night" - A Christmas Soap

I had one of my "moments" when an idea that had been percolating in my head actually came together, and action was taken!  I love when that happens! :D   I wanted to do a Christmas soap that included the Star of Bethlehem, as well as  the passage "We have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him." Matt. 2:1-2

I'm hoping that the Alkanet root powder will make the "sky" part of the soaps nice and dark like the night sky, but I guess I'll find out tomorrow.  This photo was taken just after I poured the soap:

I don't know yet if I'll sell these or keep them to give as gifts....

Looking so forward to Christmas! ~Becky

Wish Me Luck!

I've seen several soapers put together "stacks" of samples, and I've decided to make my own version. My mother-in-law was kind enough to pass me a sales lead...a local store that seems interested in my products...so I'm heading there in a few to drop this off.

I've separated my samples with the waxed tissue that I use to line my CP molds...just to keep the fragrances separate. Sometimes my stronger bars tend to alter (albeit temporarily) the scents of their more subtly-fragranced cousins! Since first impressions are of the utmost, I'm hoping the paper helps avoid this "fragrance mingling."
Which leads me to a questions for my fellow soapin' sisters: Where do your soaps sell the best?

Mine seem to do best in shops, rather than online. Maybe it's because they're ugly...er, RUSTIC! ;)  In person the fragrances seem to hypnotize the unsuspecting buyer! LOL!

I'll keep you posted on what happens at the prospective shop...
