Title: Hello from Sicamous, BC, Canada Post by: cdwinsby on July 11, 2008, 12:15:25 AM Hello Everyone!
My name is Cathy and I have been making soap since 1998. I am a soap addict of course and can't seem to get enough...of my own or anybody elses for that matter. I tend to drag my family to every craft show I can find just so I can look, smell and buy soap. How clean can any one person be? I have enough to make sure nobody stays dirty....ever!!! I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone and participating in the discussions. Title: Re: Hello from Sicamous, BC, Canada Post by: EJ on July 11, 2008, 12:25:53 AM Hello Cathy, welcome to the Forum!
Lots of soap addicts here so you're not alone - if you follow some topics through to the final pages you'll find that they can become quite mad - don't be put off though. I've just had a quick look at your website - some really interesting soaps and valuable information - take alook everyone!! If you're interested in other crafts there's a a couple of boards to show off and discuss. My Grandad went out to Canada (Dawson) during the later goldrush but didn't make his fortune I'm afraid! Title: Re: Hello from Sicamous, BC, Canada Post by: cdwinsby on July 11, 2008, 12:34:29 AM My family is from England. My mother was born there before they immigrated when she was 9. My grandparents who are in their late 80's still speak with an accent that gives me a warm fuzzy feeling. My only visit was when I was 4 years old (36 years ago) :( and I would love to go again.

Title: Re: Hello from Sicamous, BC, Canada Post by: cdwinsby on July 11, 2008, 03:25:20 AM My mother lived in Heaton Mersey, near Stockport when they left England. I actually had to look that up in my Grandfathers memoirs. :-[

I was first inspired to make soap after a lil' trip to Canada so can understand your addiction! Your soaps look lovely - have tried some of those techniques before but they never came out as beautifully as yours!! Hope you enjoy it here. Title: Re: Hello from Sicamous, BC, Canada Post by: JGorse on July 11, 2008, 11:16:29 AM Hi Cathy
Welcome and enjoy it here. Your soaps look lovely. We do tend to get a bit carried away sometimes and go way off topic but it's all for a giggle. :D Title: Re: Hello from Sicamous, BC, Canada Post by: lululiz on July 11, 2008, 11:22:42 AM We do tend to get a bit carried away sometimes and go way off topic Really JJ? :whist: You don't say! And who is the instigator just about every single time?? ( not me, obviously ) Title: Re: Hello from Sicamous, BC, Canada Post by: JGorse on July 11, 2008, 11:32:57 AM Nor me :whist:
Title: Re: Hello from Sicamous, BC, Canada Post by: lululiz on July 11, 2008, 11:36:02 AM ooh, the cheek of that JJ!
Title: Re: Hello from Sicamous, BC, Canada Post by: Joy on July 11, 2008, 11:59:42 AM welcome to the mad house. Serious discussions do sometimes take place but if you're game for some silliness and a serious discussion in that order you'll do just fine.
Nice site as well. Title: Re: Hello from Sicamous, BC, Canada Post by: cdwinsby on July 11, 2008, 03:17:59 PM I'll take silly over serious any day! ;D
Title: Re: Hello from Sicamous, BC, Canada Post by: pixie on July 11, 2008, 07:26:39 PM hello hello
your site is lovely and i love your soaps !!!! Title: Re: Hello from Sicamous, BC, Canada Post by: cdwinsby on July 11, 2008, 07:45:44 PM Thank you so much for the warm welcome everyone.
Helen, The soaps on my site are all CP (besides the rebatch page). At some point I hope to incorporate HP, MP and variations of the three. I have so many ideas to add to the site but it takes quite a bit of time to implement. I swear my but gets squarer every day from sitting on it in front of the computer. Title: Re: Hello from Sicamous, BC, Canada Post by: JGorse on July 11, 2008, 07:55:16 PM No square butts around here from spending hours on the computer/this forum Cathy ::)

Great web-site btw. Title: Re: Hello from Sicamous, BC, Canada Post by: danielle on March 01, 2009, 10:25:35 PM Hello Cathy,
Wow you really are a soap professional. Your site is really easy to use :). Was wondering if the soap on your site that had the ribbons in is CP? I'm only new to soap making so I think I would have a creative head explosion if it was CP trying to attempted it. :mwaha: Title: Re: Hello from Sicamous, BC, Canada Post by: Emerald on March 08, 2009, 09:37:08 PM Hi Cathy, Your going to love it here, it's fab!!! :)oh and welcome!!
