These are the lace bags I used to display the soap in years ago. I have them in white and ivory but only while supplies last.
They are generally big enough for a single bar of soap but as I make them from scratch, sizes do vary. If you need them
for a particular use, let me know!

100% Pine Tar Pet Soap / Nothin' but a Hound Dog
This is the bar for your favorite pooch, especially the ones that get into the stinky, dirty, yucky stuff around your
property. It leaves the coat nice and soft and contains several essential oils which will help repel biting insects.
It will not replace your current flea, heartworm or tick medicines! The pine tar serves as a natural inflammation reliever--so
if your dog get hot spots, you can expect to see relief from the biting and licking.
I am not currently stocking the Pine Tar Pet Soap. BUT, if you want to be added to the wait list for the next
batch, please click the button below and be sure to change the number of bars in the shopping cart if you want more than
one. Then, be sure to hit "Recalculate" to update the cart!! You will not be charged for this soap
until it is ready to ship. Oh, and this bar is part of the mix or match 3 for $12 deal or it will be
$5 for a single bar.

4.0 oz. $5.00 single bar (or $4 a bar if part of a multi-bar soap deal).
100% Natural Lemon Eucalyptus Bug Off Soap / It's a Jungle out There
Do you spend a lot of time outdoors and have problems with biting insects? My family does too! One of us
attracks every mosquito in a 20 mile radius unless she wears 100% deet, the other hardly ever has a bite. So, my answer
was to search for a more natural remedy than the strong deet bug sprays I had been buying. The answer for us was a combo
of Lemon Eucalyptus and Citronella, with several other essential oils thrown in to help repel those annoying flying pests!
It has cut my problem substantially, but, I do still need to spray. Others, get by just fine using just this soap.
You will be somewhere in this spectrum!

Leaf Soap Dishes
Jerry Lee, a friend who makes birdbaths, also makes these gorgeous leaf soap dishes.
His gorgeous design is suitable for large vanities or sinks with a slight bevel--so one end of the soapdish sits higher than
the other end. My Mom has been using one for the last several weeks and it works great at keeping the bars high and dry. How?
The soap dishes are made using real leaves as a pattern. The veins in the leaf channel the water down to the stem area where
it can run out of the soap dish. It cleans up easy by running it under hot water--use a toothbrush if you encounter thicker
parts that don’t come off. Neat, huh! Shapes and colors vary...tell me what you are looking for and I will try
to help find one that is right!

Pottery Soap Dishes
Up in Mt. Horeb, WI., I met potter Sue Koehler of Fairchild WI, who makes a great version of my favorite
style of soapdish. LOOK at the pics and you will see what to look for if you are shopping at a show--most potters don't
have it right--but SUE DOES!! This soapdish is a bowl sitting on the countertop. A saucer with several drain
holes is placed over the top of it. A bar of soap sits on the saucer and drains. You empty the bowl as needed. If soap gets
caked on in spots, just soak it for a few minutes in hot water. I have a few of these in stock if you want to buy from me
at the same price Sue sells them for at shows. But you can also contact her to see where she will be in Wisconsin at her
next shows. Oh, she has lots more than just soapdishes!! (715) 334-6016

Exfoliating Soap Bags
Now, don't be fooled by the simplicity of these nifty little skin clarifying and brightening soap bags.
There are two different textures, a simple loop closure and plenty of room for a full size bar or lots of slivers. The
proof that they work is in how your skin will look after using them for a couple days. I could not believe how bright
and shiny my legs were--and I don't typically use any lotion unless it is winter time.

Incense Smoking Bottle Sets
I used to make clear smoking bottles when I first started crafting. But now I have found
a supplier where I can get these beautifully colored bottles with the holes already drilled. Believe me, they cost a
lot less than when I did them! Add any three 10 packs of incense above to a smoking bottle for one low price! Sorry, they are all gone but I will get more!
Remember to order 3 packs of incense above too--I will remove the cost of that incense when I
run your payment manually!!!

These elegant beaded bags are always a big hit at craft shows! The giftbag is perfect for your discerning friends--it
has our three most popular soaps in full sized bars. The Lavender Oatmeal facial soap, the Oatmeal Milk and Honey soap
and the Sea Salt Soap with our Spa Blend are all inside the bag. You'll also find an insert detailing why each is so
special. Only one left!!
We know many of our customers are quite "crafty" in their own respect, so we have
some great ideas to round out the gift baskets and bags you create for your friends
and family. How about a bath salt, milk bath or a sample-sized
soap to tuck into a shower or housewarming gift
or even to place in your spare bedroom
for those special guests? The products below are packaged
in smaller "servings" just right for gift baskets. We've
also included some special giftbags
too!
Knitted and Crocheted Washclothes,
Bath Mits and Soap Saver Bags
We found a nice gal up in Illinois who whips up these great hand knitted and crocheted soap washclothes. My
selection will vary depending on what sells, so, if you have your heart set up a certain color or style, it would be
best to email me before you order. Most washclothes measure approximately 8 inches square but some are round
or slightly rectangular.
In 2011 we started making our corridale and angora wool felted soaps! Not familiar with felting? Think of
one of my great Shea Butter Soaps encased in it's own washcloth. This soap will give you great exfoliating and the soap
will be easier to grip. The scent is called "Season's Scent" and it reminds me of everything that is great about the
Holiday season. The wool fibers dry from the inside first, so, they dry out each day--and the wool is naturally anti-fungal,
anti-microbial and anti-bacterial. And when the soap is gone, you have a neat little wool case that can be reused--I would
put a little slit in it and then use it as a soap saver for all your tiny soap slivers! Psst--I saw these at a department
store at the mall for $14 last week. Have a color preference? Leave a note in the comments area of the shopping
cart. ONLY A FEW LEFT!
A conditioning shampoo for dry hair...but you can use it for soap too!
I vary the scent each batch--so the scent pictured is an example only--and we may substitute the current scent if we are out
of what is listed below. Please let us know if you do not want a substitute in the comments area. Contains
the following oils: Olive Oil, Coconut, Castor, Jojoba, Shea Butter and I use beer for part of the water. Now
with additional aloe vera! The current bars are a little softer in texture...but oh so nice!

Our 100% Lard Laundry Soap is a great way to make homemade laundry detergent. Your soap will be shredded and weighed
out to exactly 4 ounces to make the recipe below. If you order other soaps as part of our 3 for $12 deal, you
must request the bar to be shredded and there will be a $1 charge added to your order total. Please note: this
is an animal based soap.
Homemade Laundry Soap
4 ounces Shredded Laundry Soap
100 ounces Distilled Water
3 Tablespoons Orange Essential Oil--use up to this amount
Combine all ingredients and shake often. It will take several days for the soap to dissolve. It will have
a gloppy appearance and not all the shreds maybe totally dissolved. This is natural. Use up to one cup per extra
large load and shake before pouring the detergent. If you have hard water, fill a Downey Fabric Softener Ball with vinegar
and add to each load.
Jackie's Note: This recipe works on all but my husband's white work shirts--I occassionally have to resort to Tide
to get out the ring around the collar.

Diffusers
In another lifetime, I may have been a potter, but until I actually am in real-life, I have found a source for basic lamp
rings and pot diffusers. I do not make these.
The lamp ring can work on a variety of lamp styles...check out the pictures below to see a couple different ways I put
them on some of my lamps. I had these clay lamp rings years ago and they were great until I tried to dust the lamp
and the ring crashed onto my terazzo floors. Bummer! You should be able to secure it around the lamp harp to keep
it from falling. Once you turn on the lamp, the scent will be diffused throughout your room. Don't use
these on a bulb higher than 80 watts. Wash hands after using and don't set the lamp ring on a synthetic, delicate, painted
or stained surface between uses.
The diffuser pots work in cars, on lamps, in a closet--anyplace you can tie it on. Fill no more than 1/4 full--just
enough to coat the surface, secure the cork and then shake to saturate all the interior surfaces of the pot. Make
sure the pot does not hang up against a wall or other surface. Wash hands after using and don't set the
diffuser pot on a synthetic, delicate, painted or stained surface between uses.

Carrier Oils
A carrier oil is usually a vegetable oil used to dilute fragrance oils and essential oils before they are
applied to the skin. They are so named because they carry the scent onto the skin. Carrier oils do not contain a concentrated
aroma (only the scent of the oil if any), unlike essential oils, nor do they evaporate like them.
There are a range of different carrier oils each with their own individual properties and suitability to different uses
you may have. True carrier oils are generally cold-pressed vegetable oils taken. I currently only offer
Apricot Kernel, but, I will be adding others down the road.
1 o.z. Apricot Kernel Oil $2.50
Body Scrubs
Our sea salt body scrub is actually a Body Polish called Body Diamonds for a reason. It isn't one of those
over-priced department store scrubs. It isn't one of those too oily scrubs that you need to soap up again
in the shower to get rid of the extra oil. This one is perfect. It smooths, moisturizes and softens your skin
in the shower so you won't have to put lotion onlater. It brightens your skin by removing those old dead cells
that are giving you a dull complexion. We recommend using this no more than once a week anywhere on your body that you usually
put lotion on or anywhere that needs extra smoothing. It is also great for home manicures and pedicures!

Please READ ALL INFORMATION BELOW BEFORE JOINING
THE CO-OP.
You MUST signup for the Yahoo Group above using "Special Notice" to be kept informed of the
co-op's status. Please do this to cut down on the number of individual "where are we?" emails. I communicate often
to let you know where we are.
Price per 100 sheets is $50 including USPS Flat Rate Priority
Shipping with insurance and delivery confirmation for US deliveries. UPS and FedEx shipping are not offered on
this co-op. Our cost is now $0.43 per sheet (.38 cents plus shipping to me) plus a $2 co-op fee and supplies
(mainly from the the previous co-op losses). Sorry, but, we no longer ship to non-US addresses. If you need more
than 100 sheets, you will love the new Flat Rate Boxes! Your total price will be:
100 sheets $50
200 sheets $98
300 sheets $142
400 sheets $186
500 sheets $230
I will also offer 20 sheets for $20 including Priority Mail shipping and insurance
and delivery confirmation.
REQUIRED READING:
Please pick check payment if at all possible. Payment by
cash, check and money order is preferred. All monies will be deposited once the minimum is sold and as
received thereafter. I will need to have a paper check mailed to me within 3 days of you placing an order--I
do not do the electronic check processing. If your check bounces, you are responsible for any fees I incur. Payment must be received within one week of your order confirmation if paying by these means.
Please do not sign up if you cannot meet these terms.
Paypal orders--please use the check or MO option in my shopping cart with
a note in the comments section that you would like to pay by Paypal. I will send you a Paypal request for funds
when we reach minimum and you will have three days to pay with available funds or your order will be cancelled.
NO Paypal echecks!!! These take too long to clear. (If you try to pay by Paypal, the amount you pay will
include the shipping my shopping cart adds, which is not the correct amount. Then we will have to go through the trouble
of refunding or canceling the payment. (Please note--the co-op prefers check payments as the fees from Paypal orders
increases the cost of the labels to everyone.)
Credit Card Orders--I will not process the orders until we have reached minimum...but
you should leave your card info on this secure shopping cart. You may also call your credit card number into
me at the contact number below. Chargebacks--please, please don't do this unless you are prepared to pay my fees ($75.00+++)...call
the phone number on your charge statement and I will remind you about the waterproof label coop! ;)
(Please note: the Co-op prefers check payments as the fees for credit card processing increase the cost of the labels
to everyone.)
Paypal and Credit card payments will not be processed until minimum is met.
The next co-op is expected to start in Fall 2006--this page has not been updated with current pricing
info as of March 1st. If you are signed up for the Yahoo Group you will be informed when we start taking orders.
The co-op will close when we reach 5,000 labels. If minimum is not met within 3 weeks, the co-op will
be canceled.
Shipping begins 2-3 weeks after we reach the minimum--to be determined when we receive the final payment
:) and when the vendor ships the product.
While we have made every effort to identify all costs, if circumstances beyond our control occur, additional
charges may be passed onto you and will be due before your labels can be shipped.
Once again, please disregard shipping charges shown in our shopping
cart for label orders.

2. TEST RESULTS
Below please see the results of my label test. On about
12/10/2002 I affixed the labels to a can of mousse that
I use daily. The first test was to soak them in water and
all the labels performed well with no noticable deterioration
in the label. I did this approx. once a week for 6 weeks and
the only thing I noticed was the "wet beer label" look to
the top and bottom label. None of the labels smeared, faded
or rubbed off. The next test was to soak the labels in EO/FOs.
Again, no noticable problems. Then I coated the can with
vaseline and again they all weathered it well. NOTE: as of 4/23/03 I still
have the original bottle which I continue to "abuse" and it still is holding up quite well!
Long term report--see photo below
104200 This is the waterproof label we can get at the special
price. When wet, it adopts the wet beer label look...which
means it was kind of see through...not a problem on a solid color container but on my preprinted test bottle you could
see the print on the can showing through the label when it
is wet. This did not affect the label's adherance to the can
over the 6 weeks of testing and the print did not rub off or
smudge--even through I rubbed it good! I noticed some
wrinkling in the label--but I use this daily and may be more
a function of the label being at the top of the can where it
got more wear and tear...might not be the label's fault,
but the vendor did say eventually the label paper might
delaminate from the adhesive. Like a beer label, you can scratch it off the container if
you are working at it!
104000 Label started to peel up from the bottom and showed a
small scuff mark--again this is the high use area on the bottle.
It held up to all the tests well despite these two issues. This
label is the most popular with products that will be continuously submerged, according
to the vendor. However, at price of
$1.87 a sheet, I think it is very pricey. The minimum to
get that price is 500 sheets...if anyone is interested in this label
instead, I will coordinate the buy on these too!
104100 This label showed the most scuff wear and is the least
"bright" of the labels...it is a matte finish label.
104150 This high gloss label showed the least wear of the lot but the cost is prohibitive.
104300 As with the first label...this one gets the wet beer label look
and wrinkles. I also notice it has smeared a little bit, but, not to the
point that it affects the label's readability.

4. FAQ--Frequently asked but very important questions!!
a. How do the labels work when cut?
b. How come I can't get the backing paper to peel off?
c. Why aren't they sticking to my HDPE bottles?
d. Why are these so expensive?
e. My labels have browned/yellowed, why?
a. How do the labels work when cut?
I had a chance to work with a full sheet of labels today and was so pleased to see that they worked great with my basic
Office Depot Fiskars Paper Cutter. Very smooth, similiar I guess to cutting card stock. No gumminess was noted
on the blade. Then I tried my Creative Memories Circle Cutter and again was pleased that it worked without a hitch (other
than making half the first cut without the benefit of the cutting pad...now I have a half circle "scratch" in the table).
Probably the best news was that I had no trouble peeling the label off the backing paper with either type cut. These
are going to be wonderful labels!
b. How come I can't get the backing paper to peel off?
I had a few people contact me and say there were having trouble removing the backing. So I sent the following question
to the vendor:
My question is this - is there a trick to getting the label apart from the
backing? Here is their response:
Jackie--
I've gotten a couple of direct inquiries from your
group on this matter. The situation is that the printable facestock and the liner are both 50# paper - so they are both
paper and both the same thickness. My recommendation to the three who've contacted me directly is to use an Xacto blade
(or something like it) to separate the two at the corner. Those who've tried it report back that it works fine and has
made their lives easier. I like the Xacto blades because they have a very sharp point and because the bevelled part
of the blade is deeper than most box knives.
Hope this helps.
I also had this suggestion from one of the coop participants:
Hi Jackie,
Thought I'd update you about the label usage....remember
I thought they were not peel off....I have discovered that: after cutting them out, take an xacto knife and lightly cut the
backside straight across the whole label. You have to be careful and not cut too deep. This makes a nice perferation to seperate
from. Thanks for all your hard work!
I will probably be ordering more this summer.

Cedar Haven Creations
c. Why aren't they sticking to my HDPE Bottles?
Someone noted a problem with getting the labels to stick to HDPE bottles.
From the vendor I received this info:
I have never heard that the 104200 doesn't stick
to HDPE. That's a new one. I've got an HDPE bottle here that I can test it on. One suggeston would be to
make the label big enough so that it wraps over itself (an overlap.) But I'll test it here to see what happens.
Please keep in mind that the adhesive on this label will bond to the substrate in about 24 hours.
I'll let you know then how my test turns out.
And a day later, I received this info from the vendor:
I just removed the
104200 labels that I had applied to my HDPE bottle and I must say that they were stuck REALLY well. In fact, the label
tore rather than coming off in one piece because the adhesive was so well bonded. Maybe your customer is just trying
to take the labels off too soon. Or maybe she really has a LDPE bottle. LDPE is squishy and nothing much sticks
to it very well.
Another solution is provided by Pam Ingle:
I'm using a natural HDPE bottle for foamy pump cleanser, as found
at Chandler's Soap, and a white HDPE Malibu tube for cleansing gels. A shrink wrap sleeve is applied over the
label, which holds it in place.
d. Why are these so expensive?
Well, simply because they are waterproof! And, oil- proof, which makes
them great for our bath and shower products. They will save you time because they don't have to be coated with clear
tape or sprayed with a clear coat. These labels retail from Rippedsheets.com for $37.50 for 10 sheets, or $140 for 100
sheets to $545.00 for 500 sheets. (Our costs including shipping from the vendor is $0.42 a sheet.)
Also, have you ever bought the packs of 100 full sheet labels from Office Depot? Those will run you about $33 per 100
sheets and they are not waterproof! So all in all, the price is extremely affordable for such
a great product.
f. My labels browned or yellowed, why?
Someone contacted me with this info:
I'm having the problem in all applications .... lotion bars, creams, lotions,
body sprays, etc. They're turning brown, over time. I store my stock in my basement, I don't know if that has
anything to do with it ...... I'm getting a bit frustrated, if I'm going to have to seal these with tape, there's no reason
to pay for the expensive labels :( I've loved them up until now but I don't know what to do to avoid it.
The ones I haven't used are fine, I keep them in the plastic bag they
came in though. I'm attaching the picture here, let me know if its clear enough. {it wasn't clear...but you could see
the discoloration--Jackie}
Vendor's Reply:
We have found that the colloidal silica (waterproof)
coating reacts to sulphur in the air when there's more sulphur than usual. We've found this with the 104000 Waterproof
Vinyl, but never heard of it with the 104200. I can only assume that it's the same problem. Her furnace is probably
in her basement so that's the source of the sulpher in the air. Tell her to store her products somewhere else, or in
a sealed plastic container or bag. This is pretty rare, but over the last 6 years I've probably heard this complaint
maybe 5 or 6 times. It's an environmental thing!
Also, the vendor has this page discussing the yellowing possibilities.
(I have only had this happen to two people in out of the 25,000 sheets sold.)
Inkjet Label and Sheet Yellowing - How to stop it
Some inkjet labels and sheets may
yellow when exposed to Sulphur compounds. Many candle and aromatherapy scents contain Sulfides or other Sulphur compounds.
Also, some people actually cook their products on Sulphur-containing gas or oil stoves, e.g. diesel stoves.
Try the following:
Read the ingredient labels to identify which compounds have Sulphur.
- Bag up the unused labels or sheets and store them away from the scent mixing area, production area and packaging area.
- Print labels or sheets in a ventilated area away from all of the above areas.
- Apply labels or use sheets after all products have been packaged and cleaned.
- Store final, finished products away from areas listed in 1. above

Bath Teas
Bath Teas are a wonderful aromatic. They pack a big
punch of scent in a very tiny amount of herbs. I
received one of these for Christmas a couple of years
ago. It was packaged in a seed packet and when I
dumped it into my palm I thought the few little bits and
pieces of herbs and flowers would never scent anything
let alone a tubful of hot water. Well, was I surprised to
find this tiny bit of herbs (maybe a 1/4 teaspoon full)
scented the bath, the bathroom and I have one of the
nicest baths ever.
My Bath Teas come packaged in a couple of ways.
They come in either a 1 oz. cloth bag or a 0.3 oz
decorated tea bag ready to use as a sachet, or you
may dole out the amount you like for multiple baths.
Pick which ever is right for you! I recommend using
about 1 tablespoon per bath, but, you can experiment
and get the right amount for you.
