    A few questions- from a new soaping person.

    The site I'm thinking of purchasing my next order from is the same price on both products. I like that I don't have to split up and order from diff suppliers since I make teeny bits of things for just our family. Thank you Fragola, so much! I too am on a budget - I'm hoping some day soaping...

    A few questions- from a new soaping person.

    debbism, I like that ratio 50 to 60 %:) it sounds solid!! 30 - 40 % would be a little low for me to play with I think? It sounds like I need practice and a lot of it:) Thank you so much for your help...! I'm like a kid...Soaping is amazing. I love it.

    HP to look like CP
