Hi Pat, As Kathy and Karen indicated - measure by weight! I have used a battery operated scale from Target for years. Very recently I purchased a Chefmate...
Hello All!! Anybody know where I could some Valentine/Easter/Spring foil wraps? I don't need hundreds and my mind is blank. Rest well, tomorrow is Monday! :) ...
Hi Connie! I haven't seen you on here in a long time! How are you? What's a foil wrap? I'm afraid I don't know what foil wraps are! Is this something I'm...
I made some saddle soap and it worked really well. It turned out a little grainy though. I'm not sure if it is the soap or the beeswax. I was going to try to...
Hi Everyone, Happy New Year to you! Yeah, I'm still among the living, although some days when I wake up achy and creaky I really wonder! Sorry to hear some of...
Hi Rita! I'm guessing that foil wraps are squares of foil paper used to wrap soaps, bath bombs or whatever. Karen Hi Connie! I haven't seen you on here in a...
Sorry, I haven't made any saddle soap and don't have any idea as to what may make a soap "grainy." That's one problem I haven't had to deal with yet, thank...
I haven't made saddle soap, either... the only time I've experienced "grainy" was in lotion when I used shea butter, and discovered that shea butter is very...
Thanks for the update on your liquid soap, Karen! Glad to hear it's working out for you, but sorry to hear about your flu virus. Hope you are on the mend and...

Hi Rachael, (and Karen!) Do you use shea butter in your saddle soap? It's not suppose to crystalize in soap, however, in some of my batches, I've noticed...
Hey Karen, I'm sorry about your dog! Good luck finding the best treatment. Also, just wanted to say that I use an Epson Photo R320 printer and it works just...
Too funny! I sent my email about shea butter before I read your email Alaena! I make shea butter lotion (and soap) and haven't had any problems with it,...
Alaena, I haven't met you yet, still I wanted to let you know that I was sorry to hear about the hardships you've had the past year. I hope in this near year,...
I too only label a few bars at a time, due to shrinking. Okay, I should be done for today. I bet you think I crawled out of the woodwork! Rita ... From:...
Someone suggested to me to use Shea OIL instead of the butter - then no crystals. I bought a small amount, but it just tastes 'oily' to me. Perhaps it is old...
Yup! And I'm glad you did!!! Karen ... From: coralcottageorig <coralcottageorig@...> To: UMSGMembersList@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, January 9, 2007...
I've never used shea oil. I'll have to look into the properties of that, like does it have the same nourishing or moisturizing value as the butter. I wonder...
I've always used refined. Do you think unrefined would make a difference? I guess I just thought refined would be better for lotions and balms we put on our...
Thanks Karen It's a long story, but I seem to be having more time to breathe these days. Rita ... From: Karen W To: UMSGMembersList@yahoogroups.com Sent:...
One more thing, regarding the shea oil tasting oily. I use cyclomethicone in my shea butter lotions (1%) because it is suppose to take the oiliness out of the...
Karen, You can buy some MSM from horse suppliers like Country Supply and glucosamine too. Put that in his food and it should help with the inflammation. If...
Thanks, Pat... Don't know about the conference in May... But rather doubt that I will be there. However... Rochester is just about half way to my parents' in ...
