X= swap soap received! Thanks!
I agree; so much time and effort was put into the soaps. =)
I got my soapies today and I am very impressed! All the soaps are beautiful and smell yummy! Thanks everyone for your hard work!

I dropped my swap soap off at Otion today! I’m number 67 on the CP list– can’t wait to get my swap package:-)
Ha ha. You are so funny. We got one package via Fed Ex and Amber is working on updating and sorting this afternoon =)))
My soap was supposed to be there today. I packed it in two boxes, cause it fit perfectly. Grr, better be there, or I’m gonna go to the post office with something that smells horrid and mail it to me.
We will do another one, not to worry. 🙂 Welcome to the fun art and science of soapmaking.
Happy Soaping!

Wow! Wish I’d seen this sooner. Newbie to soapmaking. But you guys are really an inspiration. And what skills! Great job you guys.
Sending Orange Spice today! Can’t wait to get my fellow soapers soaps!
Is there a mixed swap with cold process and glycerin? I would love to get a mix if that’s possible. Thanks!
Oh man, that sounds like it smells SO delicious! Yes, you are definitely welcome to change your fragrance OR send the 3 week cured soap. It will be at 5 weeks before it gets shipped out and then another week in transit to people?
Unfortunately, I will not be able to send my Guilty Pleasure blend (Feliz Navidad, Oatmeal, Milk & Honey and Buttercream Snickerdoodle), since I dropped my huge bottle of Oatmeal FO and will not receive a new one for a few more days. I will be happy to send something else that has had time to cure though. So sorry all my soap swapping buddies will miss out on this blend. 🙂
Yes, please do!!! I am SO new to this- just made my first batch of soap today! But, would love to do this in the future!
err, that should say ‘Ayesha’
i would like to join! will send my confirmation email by the end of this week! – ayeha
We will get you all taken care of. I love Salty Mariner! Expect an email from Amy today.
Yay! Now you’re up there. Just a little note, I update the list once a day, and we just got your email today. So anyone else out there don’t worry if you aren’t added immediately. 🙂
Happy Soaping!

I sent an email the other day but I’m not on the list? I do CP soap and I am planning to use Salty Mariner fragrance.
No worries Kay. I’ll have Amy email you to get you all signed up. 🙂
Happy Soaping!

You’ll get 12 different bars of soap made by 12 different soapers =) You don’t get to pick which ones you want – it’s a surprise. We have over 1200 bars of soap coming to split up and we can’t wait til everyone starts getting their boxes.
I’m still confused. Do we get back 12 different bars of soap? Do we pick which 12 we want or is it a surprise?
We’d love to!
Yes, any mold you like!
I think that would work. But I don’t think we would be able to fit 36 bars in one flat rate box (they are pretty small). So FedEx might be a better option for you. Once we get the swap button up on our site you should be able to figure out the best deal easily (the button is more complicated than we thought it was going to be – but our web guy thinks he has figured out).
Also, be sure you wrap the different batches of soap very well. You don’t the fragrances to intermingle!
Hi Lori,
To keep things organized we are separating the two types of soap. This is such a big project we need to keep it as simple as possible so we won’t be making mixed packs.
But if you want both – you could send 12 bars of each!
We will be taking photos of all of the submissions though, and blogging it all (of course!) So at least you’ll be able to see everything. 🙂
Hi,
I’m on the Melt & Pour list so am assuming that I would get a Melt & Pour box. Is it possible to get a “mixed” box? Some Melt & Pour and some of them COld Process? I am so excited to start making my soaps and can’t wait to get my goodie box in December to see what other creative ideas people have come up with. Since I do and use Melt & Pour, I have never had an opportunity to try using the Cold Process. Which is why I asked about the possibility of being able to get a mixed box. To see what other Melt & Pourers have up their sleeves in beign creative, but also to see what can be done when doing Cold Process soap.
Thank you all SO MUCH for making this soap swap possible for us soapers. Regardless of the answer to the above question.
🙂
Sincerely,
Lori R.
(who is no longer undecided, have chosen HONEYSUCKLE. It smells sssoooo nice!)
I am too new to soap making to make a batch to share, but I hope you will do this again next year!! What fun!!!
Please do this again for those of us who will miss out
Thanks Anne-Marie.
I can’t wait! I am very excited to see what others create! I am looking forward to using them for stocking stuffers or in creative gift baskets. I may have 2 other local friends that are going to sign up. We are thinking about shipping all the product together. I guess if we want to combine the shipping on the other end- we can talk to customer service? Just a thought since we only live a few miles apart. Looking forward to it.
Very Excited !!!! Can wait to receive my goodies =)
This is fun! Can’t wait to see all the soap!
Yeah! I can’t wait…my kids are super excited too. My 6 year old son keeps bugging me and asking when am I going to start making my soaps and when am I going to get my soaps! This is fun…I’m looking forward to all the different scents.
Is it ok to use the 3D round mold?
I’ve done a lot of swaps over the years and they get awfully addictive. =)
It is going to be so fun to see what everyone does =)
I cannot wait to get those boxes. I started designing my first fragranced soap today … Fingers crossed that it worked out. I tried to make CP play dough which wasn’t as successful as I would have liked!
Thanks! We’ll get you updated.
Yes, you pay shipping both ways. =) If you’re on the CP list, you would get a CP box back unless you asked for an MP box. We’d love to have you join but totally understand the Canadian pricing issue.
So you pay to ship your box and then you pay to purchase a box? Am I understanding this correctly? I’m still debating whether to join but I’m in Canada and know the shipping costs will be higher. If you are on the CP list do you get a CP box or an M&P box?
Hey Ann Marie! I’m also using Moroccan Mint! 🙂 – Michele C.
I can not wait to get my box of goodies! I’m already anticipating a big order of fragrance oils after opening and sniffing everything 😉
Yay! I am so excited to be participating. What a list of people!!! Can’t wait until December when I get to open my box of SOAPS!!
WOW, what a list! Guess I best get to deciding if I am playing or not. Sooooo tempting!
