Hi to all!  My name is actually Nettle!

I am currently living in Alberta in Canada.  I've been a member for a few months and have been reading and getting a feel for the environment here. You are all so helpful and friendly! 

I am married and have 2 sons aged 24 and 18 and 2 daughters aged 22 and 16.  I was a stay at home mom for many years and then went back in to the workplace about 11 years ago.  I also sell my soap and body products locally.

I have been making soap for 16 years and I make all my own face cleansers and lotions.  I don't use a whole lot of fancy ingredients but I do enjoy blending with essential oils and using herbs and clays to colour my soap.  I hope to be able to participate and contribute to the boards here.

Hi Nettle,

A VERY warm welcome to you from over the pond  Hi!

You sound like a person who's had their hands full for quite a number of years, bringing up 4 kids. 

I hope you enjoy it here (loads of nice people) and I can't wait to have a peep at your soapies, when you get a chance to post them  :buttrf: :buttrf:
