New Soap Lover

[sue1965]

Hi Everyone!
I'm married with two kids. I have one granddaughter, Lilly, who is my world and another one due anytime :razz:
I have been spending all my spare time reading any good book I can find on soap making and would love to try cold pour. My son who is 22 is as excited as me...he bought me a mold and dye for Christmas so I guess that's my nudge to get under way.
I'm excited to be on the forum and love all the info!!

Welcome to the forum. Start with small one pound batchers until you get the feel of cold prosess. Happy soaping!

Welcome. My son and daughter-in-law bought me a book and a some supplies for Christmas a few years ago and my obsession bloomed from there.

HA, I should have tried that first! Luckily my plain 5 pounder first batch has been making good rebatches

i agree, starting with a small batch saves you time and wasted oils just incase it doesnt turn out right. Sounds like you are getting plenty of information so that's good, Im sure your first batch will turn out great, dont forget to share pictures!

I'm so glad to be here! Thanks for welcoming me and I can't wait to try making my first batch. I ordered my first supplies yesterday....it seemed to take forever picking everything out. But at least I can say I didn't rush into anything!

Welcome! It seems finding supplies is the biggest challenge of soaping. Oh, and paying for them is the next biggest challenge!
