Hope im doing this right  :-\.
Hi everyone, My Name is Belinda also known as Lindy to my family & friends. 
I have been dabbling for many years but alas still fearful of making soap the old fashioned way  :-[  (M&P is as far as I have ventured with soap).  I use to make and sell B&B Products which I enjoyed immensely on a very small scale while being a stay at home mom of 4 children.  Circumstances in my life changed, (for the better) But I found myself unemployed and claiming benefits to support my kids, so as of next week I sign off and join with Inbiz.  I have been trying to get back into the swing of things again building up stock etc and want to be an example to the children,  hence me getting my act together and starting anew, with a small home based business.   Fingers crossed it works out.

 :buttrf:  hello, lindy!  i'm new too, but everyone here is so pleasant!  I love the convenience of melt & pour, but I also love the deep satisfaction of using a bar of handmade soap.  if you can follow the directions to make a cake batter from scratch, then you can make cold process soap...one warning though, it can become very addicting!  :)

Many thanks for your kind welcomes.   :-*

I have ordered a kit from the S K to try and give CP a go. Surely I cant go wrong with that  :D
I hope.
Thought it time i took the bull by the horns and got over my irrational fear.

Hello Lindy and welcome. CP/HP soaps aren't so scary when you actually start doing them.

Welcome Lindy. Once you get started though I hope you're prepared for how addictive it is. The nights I've spent lying awake in bed because I've thought of a recipe I want to try out   :mwaha:  :buttrf:

Hi & welcome! :)  Good luck with re-starting up your business. (I am in a similar position, looking to start up after having the last year or so off after having a baby.) oh and agree, don't be scared of trying CP, once you've had a go it's not really that bad!
