Title: Hi Newbie here
Post by: 1975bloom on June 11, 2012, 06:51:04 PM
HI Everyone

I am Ivalee, I am new to soap making and the forum. I make jewellery and have my own website, I did a course with Melinda Coss some months ago. MY plan is to make and sell my soap along with my jewellery on my site. I am hoping to learn lots here and make some new friends.

Hello Ivalee, welcome to the forum.

You'll find a number of experienced soapmakers (various methods) with a lot of accumulated very varied knowledge so feel free to ask questions If you can't find a topic with the info you're looking for.

(watch out for people demanding pics of soaps you've made)

Thank you all  for the lovely welcome.

Melinda I did make some soap that I did on the course, we've just start using it, My kids loved it also I just bought some ingredients this week to work though your book.
I've been watching lots of video on YouTube and would like to have a go with M&P as it seems easy but I am not sure which base to used, any advice.

What?  You planning on working right through the book   :mwaha:
Not really all that up with M&P bases I'm afraid but I'm sure there is someone on the forum will be able to help you though ! Have a Scout around the topics

Hi Ivalee - Enjoy yourself here - It is great fun. You are very welcome. There are plenty of really good M&P members here - Have a look through the Soapy Show Off section and you will see a good few of the wonderful soaps that are made. Pemberly most recently posted pics of her latest M&P pics. Have a wee look in there - any questions then just ask.  :-* :buttrf:
