Title: Newbi from Hertfordshire
Post by: JGJulia on February 05, 2011, 06:16:10 PM
Hi everyone - my name's Julia.  I'm completely new to both soaping and forums, so I hope I'm doing this correctly!
I've made a very successful first batch of white lavender and have just completed my second and loving it (it did seize a bit but keeping my fingers crossed).   It's a great hobby and I'm loving it.  Driving all my friends and family crazy with "soap" talk so thought I'd better drive you guys crazy instead  :)

Hi Julia, welcome to the forums :) You won't drive us crazy with soapy talk, we love it, can't live without it, some of us even wake up in the middle of the night thinking about soapy things. It's a healthy obsession, and you're welcome to get your fix here anytime ;)
We LOVE pics here, the more the better! Look forward to chatting with you more :)

Aww thanks all for your lovely welcome messages.  It's great I've now found some like minded people to chat with.  The funny thing is, I did actually have a conversation, in my sleep, with my husband about measuring all my ingredients for soapmaking!  Everyone thought it highly funny when he told them!
Thanks again guys - and lots of piccies from me to follow  :D
