  1. Hi, I love all your recipes. My last DIY project was creating a custom silicone mold using silicone caulking and dish soap then making a candle from it. 🙂

  2. What a fun giveaway! I LOVE your site and all the tutorials. I am going to be making some Bath Bombs next.

    • For some reason it didn’t show what I’ve done recently- most recently my DIY projects have been in the kitchen canning! I love to try to do crafy things when I have time though as gifts for people- blankets, ornaments, etc.

  3. Just completed my new reformulated Eczema treatment lotion that is going to blow people’s socks off…must get use out of this PhD in oncology somehow..other than using up student loans! lol

  4. I love BB and Soap Queen! I’m still collecting supplies as I can afford them. Currently, I’m working on quilts.

  5. I love to read everything on BB, and do quite a lot of the projects shown. Just last night I made a column swirl. I love it! I was so worried about how fast it might trace using 6 colors, but a good recipe, and waiting till close to the end worked like a dream!

    I’m off to try a peacock swirl.

    Deborah

    • Hi Deborah!

      Good luck, peacock swirls are so beautiful! Thanks for your entry. 🙂

  6. My latest DIY project is making lip balms. I love being able to make them using your simple & natural oils, waxes and butters. The end result is a handmade product that pampers my friends, family and myself.

    Since I am new to reading your blog, I want to make everything I read about! Thanks so much for all of your great info.

    Joy

    • Hi Joy!

      So glad you’re enjoying the blog! Thanks for your submission. 🙂

  7. I’ve been decorating my master bedroom after a piece of wall art called to me from the thrift store. The cashier couldn’t find a price on it so it came home with me for $2. I’ve been working on making projects out of supplies and materials I already have so should come in under $10 total. I love looking around and being able to say “yeah, I did that!”

    • Hi Emily!

      Wow, what a beautiful and low-budget project! Thanks for your entry. 🙂

      -Kelsey with Bramble Berry

  8. I love your blogs & learning new techniques from them!
    My favorite thing to do is make CP soap. And I made 3 Christmas soaps yesterday, trying out Zihida’s method of drop swirl, followed by hanger swirl.

  9. Absolutely love all the tips, hints, helps, and how-tos on the website!

    I have been trying to get my knitting and tatting up to par lately 🙂 Working on tatted jewelry and lace knitting in amongst the soaping 🙂

    Love the giveaway! Thanks for doing this! Karen

    • Hi Karen!

      Those sound like fun projects! Thanks so much for entering. 🙂

      -Kelsey with Bramble Berry

  10. What an awesome giveaway! Thank you! I love DIY, and have been quite busy recently! Some of my most recent DIY projects have been: painting my front door and shutters an eggplant purple, making a handmade wooden frame for a full length mirror, prepping my kitchen window for new trim and new blinds, and making some fall scented candles. I just love fall!

    Speaking of scented things, I just placed a BB order for your Morrocan Mint fo to try my hand at a soap cake (thinking of mint and chocolate for a grasshopper pie…yum!) and also your Chocate Orange Truffle flavor oil for some holiday lip balms. I can’t wait to try them out! Can you tell me if either of these fos are safe to use in candles? Just thinking of a chocolate orange candle is making me drool! 😉

    • Hi Denette!

      Those sound like awesome projects!

      Good news – all of our fragrance oils can be used in candles. We don’t recommend using Pink Grapefruit Fragrance Oil or Pineapple Cilantro Fragrance Oil however. They smell unpleasant when burned!

      As for the flavor oils, they can be used in candles but we haven’t tested them to see what they smell like! You may want to make a small test batch and see if you like the scent. 🙂

  12. I joined the Soap Crafting Club and made my first two Cold Process soaps. I had been hesitant to start but have wanted to for a long time. The Soap Crafting Club is wonderful!!! The support, videos, instructions, and encouragement (from you and fellow soapers)is more than I could have dreamed of! Thank you!

  16. Knitting a scarf was my last DIY project. This year I’m attempting to make soap and lotions again for the women in my family for Christmas. Hope it goes well!

  17. Hi! I am learning about the process of soap making and so far is something I am developing a serious interest. I still have not started since I am still researching which are the best products to start with. Thanks for all the information provided in your blog. Hope to start in time to make my own Christmas gifts. I make paper crafts and making my own soap will be excellent to make crafty gifts. And thanks for the chance to win.

  19. I do all sorts of DIY projects! My most recent completed project is knitting needles with my “Knitting Club” at my daughter’s elementary school. We used wooden dowels, a pencil sharpener, some sandpaper and beeswax paste, and topped them off with polymer clay! I’m always crafting though, and my next project is going to be some soap where I play with the colors that are on their way from BB!

  20. My most recent DIY project was a room spay. A combination of Bramble Berry’s Cedar & Saffron and Cream Cheese Frosting fragrance oils created was a winner for me; a very unexpected mix! While I had my oils out, I replenished my personal scent stock incorporating Bramble Berry’s wonderful Patchouli essential oil.

    I’m now off to hit my stash of vintage fabrics and patterns to make some maxi skirts for fall.

    Long live the Soap Queen and DIY!

    • Hi Linda!

      Wow, I bet that would smell really great together but I totally wouldn’t think to pair them! Thanks for your entry. 🙂

      -Kelsey with Bramble Berry

    • Hi S!

      -Kelsey with Bramble Berry

    • Hi Karen!

      Lip balm is so much fun to make! We don’t have any new ones currently, but if we get more in our website will be updated. 🙂

      Also, thanks for your submission!

      -Kelsey with Bramble Berry

  25. My most recent project has been cp soap for the upcoming holidays. I made an Earl Grey soap and a Pumpkin Spice. Soaping is my favorite thing to do.

  26. I just discovered this wonderful site and can’t wait to start making my own bath products! It sure does get expensive buying them from established stores, so I’m ready to cuts a few costs and start making my own! 🙂

  28. I am working on making my husband another quilt – to replace the one his grandmamma made him (it is in tatters)
    I made lotion for the first time this past weekend
    I also made some CP oatmeal, milk, and honey soap.
    I’ve been having lots of fun with the Soap Queen Blog. I pinned a lot of great ideas this week. Can’t wait to try them out.
    Hope I win. My wish list for Brambleberry is really long!
    God bless,
    Kim in NC

    • Hi Kim!

      Wow, you have a lot of fun projects going! Thank you for your entry. 🙂

  29. In preparation of my little one (now 7 months) I made a baby oil of Apricot kernel oil infused with chamomile and calendula flowers. I love it and I use for myself too!
    Thanks for the offering!

  30. Taking my first shop at home made soap!! I love it so much and its all i will use. so i am trying to learn to make it

  31. I made your Lemon- Poppy Seed Soap yesterday and it was already ready to cut today. It looks perfect!!! I followed everything exactly, except I used Energy FO for scent. Not happy with that, because I can’t smell it at all!! I used 2 oz for 3 lb. soap.
    Today I made Cucumber- Melon soap and did the funnel pour with 4 colors. It worked and looked fantastic, until the very end, when I accidentally knocked down the duck tape rolls that were holding the funnel into the soap! Lol
    Oh, well… Hopefully it will still look nice when cut. 🙂

  32. hi I started with the melt and pour soap , now im making cold process and im loving it, I ordered the lotion kit and the lips kit I love them , now im getting ready for Christmas…

    • Hi Merari!

      It sounds like you have a lot of fun DIY projects planned! Thanks for applying. 🙂

      -Kelsey with Bramble Berry

  33. My most recent project was a batch of lip balm from your site. The winter lip balm is my new favorite recipe.

  34. Hi! I love your blog, it’s so inspiring! My most recent project was three batches of cp soap. My all time favorite recipe is your lots of lather, its wonderful.

    • Hi! I love your blog, it’s so inspiring! My most recent project was three batches of cp soap. My all time favorite recipe is your lots of lather, its absolutely awesome. I get so many compliments and the soap and the bars last forever

  35. I’m going to have to get on making my holiday gifts soon! My mom loves when I make her bath bombs. Last year I did the macaron shape with almond biscotti fragrance.The latest DIY I’m attempting currently is Shellac manicures at home. Trial and error because I’m not a nail tech but I’m learning!

  36. My most recent DIY was my second round of Oatmeal Stout Soap. After light trace, I split the batch and added Titanium Dioxide I purchased from Brambleberry to 1/2. I then poured this lighter colored batter into 5 spots into the other batter. When poured into the mold it made a beautiful swirl pattern. AWESOME. I will be utilizing Titanium Dioxide again! I am also going to drag a chopstick through the points next time as well to see how it changes the swirl shape.

  37. Been working on a baby quilt on and off. Running low on soaps, I’ll have to get busy and make some more!

    Thanks for the chance to win!

  38. My latest project was making a shampoo M&P bar. I have met a wonderful new friend recently and she is a CP soaper. She encouraged me that if I was planning on making a M&P shampoo bar that I would need a lot of oils. I found sites giving information on different oils for hair, scalp, and skin.

    I knew that M&P would be slightly difficult because of using a pre made base. So I was a little discouraged when I started but I told myself I wanted to be creative just like so many of the soapers I’ve seen from the Bramble Barry interviews. So I had my handy dandy soap book. I write down orders, new creations, and tips or problems I had while soaping. So that in the future I can learn from my mistakes.

    The soap had some extra oil which was causing the soap itself some problems to harden up. So I took a paper towel and dabbed it off. At first parts of the soap looked crumbly and I was losing hope but I told myself keep going and keep trying. Clearly the soap was molding with the mold I had chosen. It just needed some help. So after dabbing the excess oil off, I popped it into the freezer for about 10 minutes.

    I took it out and then saw that it was able to be released from the mold. I left it out in the open air for about a day or so. Then I put it in my home made loofah and have been using it as soap. There are some oils that I plan to add more of and some oils I will take away.

    But all in all it was a success! And you ladies really inspire me to keep trying and that not matter what happens it will be okay. 🙂 So thank you!

    • Hi Trisha!

      Congratulations on your recipe! It takes a lot of hard work and practice soaping, but the end result is definitely worth it. 🙂

      -Kelsey with Bramble Berry

  39. My latest project was experimenting with making my own melt and pour soap from scratch. It remelts beautifully, but I still need to tweak my recipe a little to get the qualities that I really love. When I first started making soap, this blog and soapqueentv were like my soaping bible! Anne Marie taught me SO much through her videos and posts. I owe her a huge Thank You!!! 🙂

    • Hi Marti!

      That is amazing – I bet it took a lot of hard work! Thanks for applying. 🙂

      -Kelsey with Bramble Berry

  40. Love your products and videos! My next shipment is scheduled for delivery tomorrow (insert happy dance!) and then I will be locked away creating all day. Cant wait.

    • Hi Chrystie!

      That sounds like a lot of fun! Thanks for your submission. 🙂

      -Kelsey with Bramble Berry

  47. I am an avid soaper, however my latest diy project was making a tufted headboard. It was interesting because I drive a Chevy Spark and used it to get my plywood, the base of the project, home. Luckily the nice Home Depot employee cut the board down for me, but even then it only just fit in the car. But it was so worth it. It was a super easy project that makes my bed look really elegant. I would definitely make another headboard in the future, but maybe I would borrow a truck to get my supplies home.

    • Hi Allie!

      That sounds so cool! Also, trucks are very helpful. 🙂

      Thanks for your entry.

      -Kelsey with Bramble Berry

  48. My last diy project was a pair of teal amigurumi dragons for a couple of little boys whose mom is battling ovarian cancer.

  49. AnneMarie, thank you so much for the awesome giveaway and all that you do! I would love to meet you someday and learn from you. You’re an inspiration to all businesswomen, mothers, and wives. I’m currently working on creating a balm or cream for diaper rash. Thanks again!!

    • Hi Tara!

      Thank you so much for your kind words, and thanks for the entry. 🙂

      -Kelsey with Bramble Berry

  50. My daughter and I just made our first bubble bars! Doesn’t look quite like yours, but it sure smells great! We used Apple and Champagne!

  51. My most recent DIY project was creating a meal planning board. It really helps with sticking to a grocery budget and cutting down on the unnecessary. I’m always looking around for my next DIY project though. They’re always fun to do.

  52. My latest project was a spa wrap made out of a towel. I am making these to add to mandmade spa products for Christmas. I want to make handmade soap ( my very first batch) to give away for Christmas now that I read about it while looking for other recipes for spa items.

  53. I am in the process of casting Krampus gift soaps in three different colors/scent combinations using BB essential oils for the Holidays. I love the products I’ve bought from BB so far!

  55. My last DIY project was cold process soap scented with rosehip jasmine. While I was making it, one of the oils got away from me, so it ended up having a bit higher than the 7% superfat I had planned!

  56. My latest DIY project was two batches of cold process soap. Love BB products and soaping, specially for a cause. I am trying to reach a goal of raising $1000.00 with the sales of my soap. I also love opportunities to win, although I never do.
    Thank you for all the great recipes and tips.

  57. My latest DIY project was making a batch of Laundry Soap. Gathering all my equipment & supplies to venture into my beginning of making soaps. ..both CP & HP…so excited!

  58. We are making pumpkins and getting ready for Halloween. Also waiting on the go ahead for my Christmas shopping on BrambleBerry from the hubby. Hopefully this weekend.*fingerscrossed*

  60. I have love all the amazing information and products I can find here and at Brambelberry. I am launching my own business which as a mom of four is super scary. Thank you so much for sharing everything you know for people like me to learn from you.

    • Hi Laura!

      Congratulations on your new business! Thank you for applying. 🙂

  61. It’s been a while since I’ve been able to do a DIY project, but I’m going to make a batch of CP goat milk soap (hopefully tonight!) using alkanet-infused olive oil to make a swirl. I haven’t used alkanet before but infused some in oil a couple of weeks ago and have been dying to try it since then (but got sick and then busy trying to catch up from being sick).

    I’m also teaching a cross-stitch class to our homeschool co-op starting this week, so I’m working on some projects for that as well.

  62. My latest craft project is my biggest yet – opening an Etsy store! Soap, bath bombs, etc…I just have too many ideas – I need to sell some so I can make more!

    I started this summer and have learned a lot – photography, social media marketing, shipping, and cross-border importing, as well as some really cool new soap techniques (thanks SoapQueen, YouTube and Pinterest!)

    My next soap will be some kind of coat-hanger secret-swirl with Bramble Berry’s ‘Blackberry Sage’ FO that I just bought on a trip to the store – I am so glad I live close enough to be able to do this, it was great to be able to smell all the fragrances in person (and this also means I’ve got my wish list ready in case I win something in this contest!)

      Congratulations on your new shop, and all your hard work! Thanks for applying. 🙂

      -Kelsey with Bramble Berry

  64. I love your websites! They are so informational, and there are so many products and projects. I just ordered my first package on Sunday and I can’t wait to get it!

    I make a lot of bath fizzies/bombs and scrubs, and so I can’t wait to get my package so that I can make my own version of your Gardener’s Soap. It will be blue, off white, and green. It will be scented eucalyptus, fresh snow, and spearmint. 🙂

  65. My most recent project was a crochet heart scarf for my niece-in-law…. I’m currently working on some crochet button flowers.

  66. I absolutely adore your site, your recipes, tutorials, etc! I’m definitely going to be ordering again very soon! I’ve been eye-balling the coffee butter!! I make body butters & that coffee butter sure looks & sounds amazing!!

    The last DIY project I did was very simple but so pretty: mason jar displays of botanical prints! I especially love lavender as well the look of red geraniums! <3

    • Hi Samantha!

      That sounds so elegant and pretty! Thanks for your submission. 🙂

      -Kelsey with Bramble Berry

  67. I’ve been learning to needle felt! It’s so relaxing, and I can work on little projects while I watch tv, spending time with the hubs, or bring them to markets with me to have something to do behind the table. I’d love to win a gift certificate to stock up on some of my favorite BB fragrances!

  68. Thanks for the chance to win. I love the inspirations and tutorials. I just made the lemon poppy seed soap.

  69. In addition to our soap making business, we are restoring an old home! That’s PLENTY of DIY! LOL! We love Brambleberry products, purchasing from you and learning from you! There’s always something FUN to do!

  70. Thanks to Ann-Marie and the Brambleberry family, I have found a new hobby that has allowed me to do something special with my Mom. We are also able to provide a great gift for my cousin’s wedding by doing small soaps for her wedding favors. I really love soaping and just wish I would hit the lottery so I could do it every day!! Now we are trying to get our own business off the ground and so far everyone loves our soaps. None of this would be possible without Soap Queen and Bramble Berry along with everyone in the soaping business!!

    • Hi Jennifer!

  73. My last DIY project was making a curtain for my back door to keep the sun out. the fabric is blue with little mice & cheese so cute! Thanks for offering the prizes! Oh yeah that and thanks for getting me addcited to instagram lol.

  74. This is awesome!!! 🙂 My most recent & completed DIY project was my 1st pumpkin puree soap of the season…one of many more to come, I’m sure 🙂 There is just something about pumpkin that people love! Getting ready to make another soap right after this!

    Thank you, Anne-Marie!!!! <3

  75. My most recent DIY project was making a dress (my first dress ever!) for my eldest niece! I definitely need to keep working on my sewing skills, but it’s a great hobby while my soap supplies are in storage!

  76. You’ve really inspired me to try out soap making! I’m gonna start my first melt-and-pour project for Christmas presents soon!!!

  77. My last DIY project was a handmade ring sling. It came out great and I saved a fortune making it myself.

  78. My last DIY was a lotion recipe I got from this site here on SoapQueen! I split it into 2 batches and fragranced one with Deep Blue Essential Oil by Doterra for Muscle Pain/Soreness, and the other half I scented with Helichrysum Essential Oil. It turned out so well, I am extrememly happy with it and it feels so wonderfully smooth.

    Thank you so much for the recipe! =D

  79. I am in love with the pumpkin spice cp soap. That is my current project. My last project I turned an old vegtable bin into craft storage. I painted it in bright pastel pinks, blues, and greens with decoupaged fabric on the doors.

  81. My latest project was a liquid soap made from a bar of soap. I needed some liquid soap and since I’ve started making my own soap I thought I would try the quick easy bar to
    Liquid soap. Not bad! Next I’m going to make the oatmeal one out of the soap crafting book.

  83. I have mixed up a 28# bucket of my master batch oils this week so that I can crank out 10-11 #3 individual batches of soap next week, many using BB’s fabulous fragrance oils. Many of these bars will be donated for the 1000 bar soap sale that I do in the spring to raise funds for our Church’s high school summer mission trip.

    • Hi Kathy!

      That’s amazing that can give back to your community. Thank you for applying. 🙂

      -Kelsey with Bramble Berry

  85. After learning about the health benefits, I’ve recently added water kefir to my diet. This could be considered a diy because the water kefir grains need to be fed and tended to several times a week. Although I’m not a fan of soda, I do enjoy this bubbly alternative which can be flavored in many different ways. Is water kefir a part of your healthy diet?

  88. I decoupaged the cabinet I keep my fragrance oils in. Turned out very pretty. But, I think I need a bigger cabinet!

  89. I love your cold process soap tutorials. They were clear and well explained. I knew that when I made soap according to your tutorials they would turn out the way I wanted them to.

    • Hi Kerry!

      Definitely – that’s an important part! Thanks for applying. 🙂

      -Kelsey with Bramble Berry

  91. I helped my 9 year old on a 6 page scrapbooking layouts. Love your site and Thanks for a chance to win.

    • Hi Danielle!

      That sounds like a great activity! Thank you for the submission. 🙂

      -Kelsey with Bramble Berry

  92. My most recent DIY item is soap! I am building the business so right now just building my stock. I have made lots of lego’s and then solid bars to make tattoo soaps with! I love making fun stuff 🙂

  93. I love your sites & book!! The information & videos gave me the courage to get started soaping & has been extremely helpful. Thank you so much for all you do!!!

  94. I’ve been INCREDIBLY busy with gardening this summer and got a WHOLE bunch of pickling cucumbers. I canned 14 quart jars of dill pickles last night! 😀 Starting on my tomato stuff today!
    Have not ever made soap, but really want to. I hope to start after all the gardening, canning, and dehydrating frenzy!

    • Hi Melanie!

      What a great use for your vegetables! Thanks for your submission. 🙂

      -Kelsey with Bramble Berry

  95. Harvest time, so my last DIY project was canning peach salsa. Yum! With tomatoes, onions, garlic, and jalapenos from my garden and local peaches.
    My last soap is a new favorite. BB’s Cucumber & Kiwi – if you haven’t tried this yet, you need to. It is absolutely fabulous! It is curing on the kitchen counter and every time my husband and I walk in the house he comments on how wonderful it smells! http://www.pinterest.com/janelle2449/in-the-pot-swirl-soap-challenge-september-2014/

  96. In addition to making and selling lotion bars on Etsy, I also knit and spin yarn, so knitting projects are usually my most recent DIY!

  97. My latest project is gift bags for my co-workers whom I will be leaving soon as I transition to a different department. I’m making bath fizzies and body butter scented with BB’s Crisp Apple Rose fragrance. I may even add a soap. That fragrance is wonderful in everything I’ve tried!

  98. My last diy project actually was soap: my 3.5 year old and I made pink soap Popsicles. Super fun, and a great way to connect with him! I left a picture on the BrambleBerry a Facebook page 🙂

  99. I love watching and reading everything Anne Marie does and I have learned a lot! My DIY..I have actually been able to create, through trial and error, a shampoo/body bar that all my customers are absolutely loving!

  100. I don’t see my comment so I hope I don’t double post…

    I made CP soaps the day before using BB’s Cranberry Pomegranate FO. Hubby says it smells great, and he’s usually pretty picky about scents. 🙂

  103. Love Your Site, Your Store and Your Fabulous Tutorials! My latest project as a Lemongrass & Basil Soap which turned out so pretty and smells divine.

    Thank you for the inspiration and the opportunity to win a Brambleberry Gift Certificate!
    Sincerely,
    Laurie

  105. I have a friend who keeps ordering car seat blankets from me for shower gifts. She just ordered four that she needs in October (ack!) so all of my time has been devoted to those.

  107. I would love to win a gift certificate from Brambleberry. I need more soap scents! My most recent project was a special request. Someone asked me to embed black african soap in another soap base because she likes using the black african soap but it’s crumbly and she thought it would be easier to use if it was mixed into another soap base. What I wound up doing was making a coconut soap recipe I found, mixed it to trace and took about 1/2 lb. of crumbled black african soap and mixed it in. The resulting soap has a nice contrast between the dark crumbled soap and the light soap base.

    • Hi Carrie!

      That sounds perfect for winter colds! Thanks for applying. 🙂

      -Kelsey with Bramble Berry

  110. This is so great! Thanks so much, Bramble Berry. At the moment I’m actually attempting to make some wooden soap molds. It’s taking me some quick thinking but I think they’ll turn out nice!

  112. My most recent project was homemade “Vicks”, however I didn’t have olive oil and used coconut oil and my husband wasn’t thrilled about the smell so I will have to go get some olive oil and try that.

  114. I am a gardener and my latest project is painting (spray painting) dried seed heads to use them as decorations.. iris, artichokes and globe thistle so far..

  115. My most recent project was a set of oil based sharpie mugs for a coworker’s niece. One said Mr. Right, the other said Mrs. Always right.

  116. The last DIY was one of your Soap Club subscription projects, the Avocado soap. Loved it! I hope you will be continuing the Soap CLub because it is a wonderful way to try new techniques and ingredients. Thanks!!

  117. My most recent project was making hot process wine soap for an event at a local winery show casing local crafters. I used Brambleberry Berrywine FO for one of the soaps that was made with the winery’s strawberry wine. Smells yummy.

  120. I think I will win Grand Prize 🙂
    It will be first time I won something and it will be enough for special things from Bramble Berry because you are toooo far from my country and I can’t pay order and shipping 😀

  131. I have been making Halloween costumes for my 4 kids and a quilt to give my husband when he returns from deployment. He just requested some soap so I ordered some supplies to start that project next! Thanks for the great giveaway!

  132. Hello,

    I love this site and have been learning so much from it. You are an inspiration to me and my soaping business. My latest DIY project was a frankincense and myrrh soap. I used small plastic food storage bowls found at the dollar store as molds. They make the most wonderful hand-sized oval soap bars. My customers love them.

    Blessings to you!
    Carrie

  134. My most recent diy projects were a strawberry margarita lip balm, a sea salt hair spray and no poo shampoo! I just love experimenting!

    • Hi Mindy!

      Those all sound like fun to make! Thanks for your submission. 🙂

  135. I love Brambleberry! I love the tutorials that Anne Marie gives on Soapqueen TV and I have learned a lot about making soap. I have always done crafts. Sewing, candles, and now I am in love with soaps and all the bath delights that I have learned to make. I am doing two bazaars in November and a big sale this month. Thanks guys! I really appreciate you.

    • Hi Karen!

  139. You are awesome! I tend to come to your site for great ideas on what to make. I used your tutorials as inspiration for making bath fizzies and I hope they turn out half as well as yours.

  140. Thanks for a chance at the awesome giveaway! My latest project has been making tshirts for my soap biz. I use glitter vinyl and cut it with a vinyl plotter. I love making soap, but vinyl projects are my other favorite hobby!

  141. Yay! I think the comment thing is fixed!!
    I love Brambleberry & this would be awesome to win!
    ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

  142. Love Brambleberry products. My most recent DIY was the linear swirls from the soap crafting club. Love this method and will definitely do it again

  145. Besides being addicted to quilting, I am now addicted to soap making. My last DIY was a pink grapefruit/mint soap with rose clay. It smells wonderful and is still curing.

  146. Your sites are so informative and exciting. I also love all your products…..wish I could buy one of everything! Thanks for the chance of winning a prize!!

  147. Lately, besides soaps, I’ve been relearning how to quilt and candle wicking (which is actually like embroidery, not wicking candles! lol)

    • Hi Christina!

      That sounds like a fun project! Thanks for your submission. 🙂

  148. I love your sites! They are so inspiring. My last DIY project was making lip balm. Just starting into making my soaps. Took me a little bit to get my nerve up to dive in.
