Cyber Monday is over with.... what a day and a night :-)
I had lots of great sales going on with my soaps on my Etsy shop. Now I have lots of packaging and shipping to do for at least the next two days. The sale was great and so are all of the orders :-) I feel very blessed to be able to make soaps and share them with all of the people who shop on Etsy. It seems most of the soap purchases were for Christmas gifts :-) I think that is so cool - the decorative, gourmet soaps that I make are awesome gifts.
Well, good night to all...

Awesome Cupcakes!
I have unmolded the cupcakes that I wrote about in my last post... they are beautiful! I took a pic (not a good one because the lighting, etc wasn't good) but this will give you an idea of what they look like:
The bottom of the cupcake has several different colors - green, pink, orange. The tops are also a collection of different colors that are piped together as icing for the cupcake. I then added some cute little candy decorations, pink sugar crystals, and diamond glitter. I am very happy with how these cupcakes turned out. They are so feminine and pretty.

I'm Soaping Tonight!
And I've got to tell you something.... a customer challenged me to step out of my comfort zone with a special order. It was an order for cupcakes....
First, she wanted the fragrance to be very strong. I usually just use the amount suggested by the fragrance supplier. But, thanks to the advice of a very nice soaper (thanks!!) I was able to get more scent into the soap! So far so good.... I'll know for sure tomorrow when I unmold the cupcakes. But, for now they seem to be setting up and gelling just fine!
Next, she wanted lots of colors and lots of decorations on the cupcakes. The bottom of the cupcake is several different bright and cheerful colors. For the top, I piped on soap "icing" that swirled several different colors as it went onto the cupcake. I've done this before with regular cake icing, but this was the first time I've done this with soap! Then, my daughter applied some cute decorative candies and I sprinkled with pink sugar crystals, diamond glitter and silver glitter! WOW! You ought to see these cupcakes! They are absolutely awesome. I am very happy with them and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they will be just as pretty tomorrow when I unmold them. If so, I will take some pics and post here on my blog for everyone to see.

Jamaica Me Crazy!!! The Start of a Posting/Listing Blitz!
Are you sitting down? Do you have a drink that will last you for a while? LOL Well, I'm getting ready to start a posting/listing blitz of new soaps on my Etsy! There will be lots of great Christmas gift ideas :-) A variety of looks and fragrances that everyone will want :-)
First, this one was so easy to plan.... Jamaica Me Crazy! (also known as Bermuda Triangle) was so much fun soaping. I wanted bright, cheery, fruity colors and of course I had to work in the "triangle" idea too. The description for this fragrance is: An excellent blend of cantaloupe, honeydew, and watermelon; with citrus top notes of mandarin, tangerine, grapefruit and lime; with just a hint of juicy McIntosh apples.

Happy Thanksgiving!
Wow, it seems like this year just begun and now here we are and it's Thanksgiving Day! What are your plans for today if you live in the States? Right now, we're watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade (which we do every year). It's kind of the right of passage into the Christmas holiday season for us. Next week, we'll watch Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeeer (the old animated movie). The other holiday movie we watch is Charlie Brown Christmas.
Guess what I did last night? I soaped! Surprised? LOL With 37 new fragrance oils I've got to really get busy. So I stayed up late last night and soaped 2 batches.
The first one I soaped was "Alien" - the colors are vivid blue, lime green and purple. I love the way the soap turned out! I was actually able to unmold and slice the loaf this morning and the bars look so cool! I hope that the colors stay the same as it continues to cure and dry. Here's some pics... let me know what you think!
The second fragrance I soaped was "Butt Naked". And, of course, I wanted to do something wild with this one LOL The base of "Butt Naked" is a natural creme color with blue and hot pink swirls. I am so happy with the way the swirls turned out! They are the best I've done so far I think.
These soaps will be listed on my Etsy site on Dec/08 and will be ready to use on Dec/22 (just in time for Christmas!)
I made additional soap to use to "ice" these two batches (so the bars will be a bit larger and will also weigh more). With the soap I had left over from that, I made some cupcake bottoms that are wild too. I scented them with Elf's Sweat and they are hot pink, blue, lime green and purple.
Well, it's time for me to get into the kitchen and start cooking up some food instead of soap LOL! Have a great holiday!

I'm Going To Be SO BUSY Soaping! LOL Wonder Why?
Well, maybe it's because of the fact that between yesterday and today, I've received shipments for 37 new fragrance oils that I'll be soaping very shortly! OMG! LOL That's going to be alot of soap, eh?
Not all of the fragrance oils are for right now - many of them are what I will be working on in December as I prepare for Valentine's Day. Since it takes several weeks for cold process soaps to cure out, they will need to be soaped ahead of time so that the bars of soap will be ready in time for the Valentine's holiday.
Something else.... I have 2 new soaps that I will be listing tomorrow! I'm very excited about them because they are awesome soaps and are both VERY nice! The first one is "Jamaica Me Crazy" (also know as Bermuda Triangle) and Chanel "Chance" type. These will be ready to use on Dec/11 - so they will make excellent Christmas gifts and stocking stuffers. I can't wait for you to see them.

Listing More Soaps Today :-)
I have a few soaps that I need to list... actually, 8 more! Wow! So today is going to be a busy day getting photos of them taken and getting them listed on Etsy. That is what is #1 to do on my list this morning bright & early while everyone else is still asleep.
Then I have 2 orders to get packaged up to mail :-) People are beginning to see me on Etsy and are buying Christmas gifts. So, I've got to make sure to keep my store stocked.
I have another special request order that I'm working on too. It's for a possible order out of the States and I've never shipped out of the States before. So this will be a first for me. It will probably mean a visit to talk to the lady at the window at the local post office just to make sure that I get everything correct.
And, today I have lots more fragrance oils arriving! I'm super excited about that because that means MORE SOAPS! Then tomorrow, another shipment of fragrance oils will be arriving with a shipment of oils and other supplies. I had to get stocked up on oils so I could soap all of these new fragrances :-)
I am "planning ahead" for the upcoming holidays - past Christmas. Where I live, after New Years Eve, we have Mardi Gras that starts. So one fragrance that I'm planning on soaping will be "Mardi Gras". I am still in the "planning" mode because I want to make sure that when I soap it, it will be extravagant and exciting! Mardi Gras colors are green, purple and gold -- loud and in your face LOL Also, there are plenty of beads and feathers, moonpies and masks. And we can't forget the fleur de lis. So, this will probably be a busy soap too LOL That's a bit much to incorporate into one soap! Oh, and I can't forget the King's Cake with the little baby inside either. With all of that, I might have at least 2 different soaps to make LOL
After Mardi Gras is Valentine's Day. Usually, right after Christmas is over the retailers start putting out the Valentine's Day products! So, I need to plan to make sure that I have those soaps ready for Valentine gift giving around the 1st part of January.
Well, I have plenty to do today. Also, look for some un-soap items on my Etsy today :-) I will be listing some items that I love to make in addition to soaps. I have some beautiful Christmas ornaments to list and also a Christmas treasure box.

Special Request for herlittlesunshine (Etsy)
I just wanted to show you these pics of the Strawberry Shortcake. I think you would like these as teacher's gifts. Let me know :-) They are like pieces of pink cake (with white embeds) and have a pretty white meringue on top. I also sprinkled the white meringue with a little diamond glitter. The fragrance in these soaps are amazing! They smell good enough to eat LOL
