I went ahead and simply used a different P.O. to mail my soap. I took the advice of another poster and simply answered "nope, just a bar of soap" and they accepted it without a hitch. I will remember the kiosk and online label printing options though, those are good resources. Appreciate...

I appreciate it. My apologies as well, I'm a little frustrated. So do I lock the thread? That is, if I can figure out how..haha.

Again, I made a mistake. I simply make soap for my family, I didn't know. Now I do. Thanks to everyone for the information.

I told them it was homemade lye soap that was 6 months old and no longer had any lye left and that I use it to bathe with. Again, I don't know enough to withhold information and apparently that's where I went wrong. Now I'll never be able to mail soap anywhere for any reason..lol! Good thing...

I'm not accustomed to lying so when I tried to mail some of my soap to a friend I was honest and I was told hazardous materials are not allowed to be mailed through the Post Office. I've hunted Google and the forum here and haven't found any answers. With as many soapmaking businesses there...

I was given some very useful advice once and it really spoke to me. For people (such as myself) who find themselves feeling overwhelmed with the idea of taking on what looks like a big job organizing, or even keeping something organized once it's the way you like it.; simply make one change...

Thanks for your kind welcomes! :)

Oh, that's neat Maya; I'm in the Dallas area myself. Texas is such a big state..haha!

I've already posted a few times in a thread I made asking a question, but then I noticed the introduction forum.. :) Not too much to say about me..haha! I learned about soapmaking from a lovely semi-retired gentleman who had picked up the hobby back in November of last year. He happened to...

That's pretty neat! I'd love to see the individual bars too.

Whew! I'd been worried about that! I'm glad I wasn't too far off in my thinking and that it can be used safely. Thank you DeeAnna!

Thank y'all for your kind words. :) I really can't take credit though, as the kind older gentleman who taught the class I sat in made the soap right in front of us and gave me the first recipe. He was also incredibly generous and gave me one of his own hand-made wooden molds to get me started...

I will try posting the URL from the image.. I simply clicked on the "Photos" tab; the one just to the right of the "Forum" tab. I posted the photos in the "Cold Process Soap" category. They're the two most recent submissions. Thank you for your kind words, I can't take credit for the name...

Alright I posted pictures in the "Photos" section under "Cold Process Soap". I do hope that was the correct placement for those; if not, I apologize. Please be kind..>.<;

Of course, I'm a little embarrassed since it's my first tries but I will post pictures just as soon as I figure out how. :)
