Welcome to the forum. There is lots of information on here, and usually someone has an answer to a question. What sort of soap do you make? I should warn you that photos are a must. Title: Re: Hello Post by: EJ on October 27, 2011, 07:36:25 PM Hello Jon, welcome to the forum.

Title: Re: Hello Post by: Ugony1966 on October 27, 2011, 09:51:10 PM Thanks you all for the great welcome.
More about me.... ummm. Well I work in a full time job as a Information Security Consultant, yes I know then why do soap. My other other Lana how is doing this with me works as an ODP in our local hospital. After she come home form work she is so beat. I want to be able to make a little money from this great craft so she can give up at least one or two days. To answer one question yes we have the correct assessments and insurance so that is all covered. I am going to attend a course in London next month held by Melinda Coss on business management and was thinking of doing a soap course, but advised to come on this site and learn from you guys. I also do a crafts stall on the third Sunday of each month in Winchester selling hand turns pens and this is where we started to sell our M&P soap. I am now going to get going on Cold Process and work hard to get where I want. I love all types of crafts and am sure I will be doing other in time. I have no photos yet, but when I do you guys will be first to see..... Many thanks John http://www.bubblesandbeauty.co.uk P.S.- I am a bad speller so if you see a mistake sorry. Title: Re: Hello Post by: Helen on October 27, 2011, 09:57:13 PM Aw... it sounds like you really care about your partner :buttrf:
John, I hope I am not being too cheeky but do go to the exhibition room and post a pic of your pens. I haven't seen a handturned pen and am really curious and would love to see one. They sound ever so interesting :buttrf: Title: Re: Hello Post by: polly on October 27, 2011, 09:58:09 PM Hello and welcome :buttrf:
Title: Re: Hello Post by: Ugony1966 on October 27, 2011, 10:20:23 PM Opps lots of typing errors in my last post... sorry. Yes I will take a photo of a pen and post on line.
Thanks again for the warm welcome. John Title: Re: Hello Post by: Daven on October 27, 2011, 10:41:57 PM Hi John,
Good to see another wood turner here of all places :D I don't make soap but I'm sure you will be well looked after here ;-) Dave Title: Re: Hello Post by: EJ on October 27, 2011, 11:08:34 PM Quote I also do a crafts stall on the third Sunday of each month in Winchester selling hand turns pens Ooo - can you get the fittings (or whatever you call them) to make Perfume Pens - like a sort of fibre-tip pen to fill with own choice of perfume? (I did buy one from a craft fair a few months back, very attractive) Title: Re: Hello Post by: Menolly on October 27, 2011, 11:09:20 PM Hi, John and welcome!! :hi:
Title: Re: Hello Post by: Eire on October 28, 2011, 12:07:55 AM Ooh lovely. I bought a couple of wood turned (well maybe carved) pens last year, made out of bog oak. Two young boys were setting up their own biz.

Had a look at your site–just some advice. Please never use site under construction–it's the worst thing you can do for many reasons ;D Put something simple eg like a photo of one of your soaps, some text about your business and contact information. You can still be building your actual site in the 'background'. Title: Re: Hello Post by: alishelly on October 28, 2011, 11:02:13 AM Good to have you here ,welcome :)
Title: Re: Hello Post by: Vanilla on October 28, 2011, 11:25:39 AM Hi and welcome! :)
Title: Re: Hello Post by: Denice on October 28, 2011, 01:18:49 PM Quote like a sort of fibre-tip pen to fill with own choice of perfume? I was looking for those too EJ, but could only find them on woodturning sites in kit form :-\ Was hoping to discover some that were ready made and ready to fill. Thought they'd make nice Christmas gifts Title: Re: Hello Post by: Daven on October 28, 2011, 02:17:28 PM John should be able to get them, I can and possibly engrave them ;-) But John should get first refusal.
