Hi ladies! Sign ups are now closed. Plan on mailing me 9 soaps (one for every swap partner plus one for MaryJane!) plus either a return prepaid postage label, enough money to return the soap to you, or a prepaid box/envelope. Please mail them no later than April 15th. If you let your soap cure for a month that means you need to make your soap in the next 2 weeks. This is going to be great!
Hi Ladies!
We did a soap swap a long time ago and it was a big hit! We all got lots of fun things! How about doing another! We could ship everything in flat rate boxes for $9.80 so overall cost for this swap would be $19.60 plus the cost of your soap.
Sign ups until March 1st and soap to be sent to me no later than April 15th. Then I will distribute the soap and get them return posted to you. Enough money for the return postage or a prepaid postage thingy must be included in the box you send!
Let's send enough soap for all the people who sign up plus 1 extra! Let's send a box to MaryJane!!

Quick question. . .I've only been making soap for a year, so my bars are ummm. . .not perfectly beautiful :) I'd love to join the swap, but my soaps may not be quite as nice looking as some of you veteran soapmakers. . .
let me know. I won't be horribly offended if you'd prefer people who really do beautiful work--otherwise, sign me up please! Thanks! |

Hi Ladies!
Sheila- OF COURSE we want you to play, silly! It doesn't matter if it looks a little different! As long as it suds and cleans my skin- I am happy!
Here is how we did the last one:
All soap counts! Melt and Pour, Cold Process, Hot process- whatever you want! Do what you do best! Send about $5-10 worth of product. Send enough for all the sign ups plus one- so if we get 15 sign ups- send 16 bars. You will get 15 back, one being your own soap. Have fun with the decorations, packaging and such! Make sure include your forum name on the packaging (even if you just use a plastic baggie and a Sharpie!) so we know who to thank!!

We sure are! A few more days for sign ups and then everyone has until April 15th to mail me your soaps. Remember it is the number of swappers plus one so we can send one to MJ!

I've been racking my brain all day to come up with a special soap for this swap. Nothings come to mind yet but it will. This is going to be such fun! I know that we have lots of soapmakers on the forum - we need more people to join.

I have never done this but please sign me up! So many less calories than a cookie swap. Please sign up BeccaRoo as well. I think I have talked her into coming for a visit so we can make our batches together. We are new at soapmaking as well and it is a comfort to know others will be participating that are not experts too.
Kay, I would love to try fruity.
Sunrises are wonderous things, nobody should ever miss one. |

Sounds great!
Everyone that hasn't send theirs out yet, please email me as my address is changing. I will put a mail forward on my mailbox, so they should all still reach me either way, but to be on the safe side...

| I mailed my soap last week - hope it gets there safely - I think the farm girls will be happy with my soap - I wrapped in vintage chenille (my signature!) - couldn't decide on a fragrance so I did 2 - brown sugar oatmeal almond and strawberry cream - tossed in a few fresh strawberries! Each "bar" consists of 2 smaller bars - one of each fragrance! Can't wait to get the box of soap - I love trying other people's soap. |
