Well, I've got most of my soap wrapped with bands and in bags, but that's only half the battle. I chose to band around the soap for the label, put each bar in a small plastic bag and tie with raffia. It's the tying that sucks. I've been doing it for 3 hours and I'm only half done. My arms, shoulders and forearms need a rest. I have to come up with a better way. Originally I just used twist ties, but I thought the raffia would look better. Maybe I can find some decorative twisties somewhere.
I also am about 70 bags short. F***! I could have swore that I had 300 bags, but I can't find the 3rd package. I ordered some more, but who knows if I'll get them by Friday. Preparing for a craft show is a LOT of work.

Posted by: Shannita on April 9, 2002 06:16 PMUh, just ran across the reference to "the Dawah Bookstore", mentioned in context of incense supplies. Can you tell me the location of the store? A Muslim friend of mine has mentioned the store as a good place for me to get oils and such.
Thanks!

P.S. I found this on a global search engine, so any reply should be sent to me, not to this list, as I won't be able to find it again...I'm pretty computer-illiterate.
