I didn't hit it spot on, but it wasn't a total failure either - so I'm okay with that. If you constantly aim for the target and hit it, it's time to move the target further back. This was a stretch for me, but a lot of fun too. Thank you for your comment and support - it's really appreciated! ~SuzyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07164818916773554995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2350208672242123444.post-40051278052101702382012-05-27T14:29:04.566-07:002012-05-27T14:29:04.566-07:00Oh no, I hope Catherine doesn't think I was co...Oh no, I hope Catherine doesn't think I was copying her, nah she knows me better!! Thanks, Amy! You're right, I know not to use so much titanium dioxide next time. All in all, this was a great challenge and learning is part of it. YES! I was thinking the same thing about three tubes for the snowman. I'm adding that to my "gotta try this" list. I'm sad that there's only one more challenge :-( This has been so much fun for me.

Your rendition had issues, but it is still beautiful looking in your photos. This will be a good platform for any future landscape you take on! Like Traci I think forgot fragrance, my first I forgot the shea! So you overdid the TD, well we've all done that too just longer ago than you.

I started soaping 8 weeks ago (my first olive oil bars were ready this past week!!), so I have a LOT to learn. Don't know what I'd do without YouTube, blogging and the soaping community in general. There's no better resource!! I appreciate you checking my blog post out. ~SuzyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07164818916773554995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2350208672242123444.post-52482059365406258022012-05-26T14:23:36.564-07:002012-05-26T14:23:36.564-07:00Thank you!

This was truly a challenge and I think most of us agreed we'd tweak it the next time. Live and learn though, and I can say I've learned so much from all the soaping blogs I've read. I love it when you guys call out what you'd do differently and why - it saves me, a beginner, from making those same mistakes. I also really benefit from your successes. I'm trying to take notes on it all and keep them in some kind of order for reference.

I can usually think of a one bar idea, but a whole loaf stumps me because I don't know where the cuts will fall and what I'll end up with....my brain just doesn't seem to think that way. I've learned that I need to lay everything out on paper and really give it some thought - even that doesn't guarantee success, but it sure helps! Fresh Snow would have been great for this bar...I can almost smell it. xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07164818916773554995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2350208672242123444.post-55416768887663517852012-05-26T09:36:35.829-07:002012-05-26T09:36:35.829-07:00I struggle with color big time, so was happy with ...I struggle with color big time, so was happy with the ITP overall.
