Title: Hello all Post by: corrie on November 04, 2007, 01:17:37 AM Hi I am Corrie, I live in a small village in the west of scotland, near Loch Lomond. I make CP soaps and sometimes some MP when I need a quick fix :)
Love the variety and scope that CP and its ingredients can bring and always trying something new. At the moment I am experimenting with ultramarines (with mixed results). Look forward to talking to you all :D Corrie Title: Re: Hello all Post by: EJ on November 04, 2007, 02:21:40 AM Hello Corrie,
I think everybody's retired for the night. There does seem to be a lot of soapmakers in Scotland - I haven't yet worked out why. There's a great deal of information here = in the forum (although it's not been going for very long) and in the resources. I make MP and various concoctions for chucking in the bath; others make a wide variety of soaps, lotions, potions and other goodies for humans and animals. Enjoy yourself here! Title: Re: Hello all Post by: Helen on November 04, 2007, 09:59:23 AM Hello Corrie!
How lovely to have you here. It sound's lovely where you live. Its great that you do a bit of both (M&P and CP). There does seem to be lots of scope with CP but it also amazes me what can be done with M&P. Have you had a peep at the Member's Galleries? It leave's me very humbled indeed, lol. Please make yourself at home and if you have any ideas that will make the site more tailored to your needs, do give me a shout and I promise I will do my best to accomodate :) There's such a mixed variety of people/experience here who all bring something special to the forum and indeed the site itself (in Community). A very warm welcome to the forum Corrie!! ;D Title: Re: Hello all Post by: penny71 on November 04, 2007, 10:09:12 AM Hi Corrie

Theirs loads of info on here and we are also a friendly bunch look forward to chatting to you ;) Edith Title: Re: Hello all Post by: corrie on November 04, 2007, 12:47:14 PM Thanks for the welcomes so far, you all seem like a friendly bunch.
Elaine I wonder if the reason there are so many soapers in scotland is something to do with our climate and our like of conserving money? Imagine the scene...."Mum is the soap hot yet? I'm cold!" "Yes Jimmy, come and warm your hands on this batch of lavender, its lovely and toasty" Before I am shot down for mocking the Scots and their ways...I am one, and its just a joke! Title: Re: Hello all Post by: Edith on November 04, 2007, 01:17:18 PM hehe Corrie that made me chuckle :mwaha:Im a northerner myself originally from south shields not far from the city of Newcastle left there ooh 30 odd years ago and still speak with a geordie accent ;)

Title: Re: Hello all Post by: afrokelt on November 04, 2007, 08:48:52 PM Hi Corrie :hi:, welcome to the board...hope you enjoy it as much as the rest of us.
And Helen..thanks for the new smilies :yipee: :joy: Title: Re: Hello all Post by: Helen on November 04, 2007, 08:55:23 PM As much as I would love to take the credit, it was good old kestrel (although now, things seem a little busier in the space above the message box lol)
Title: Re: Hello all Post by: afrokelt on November 04, 2007, 08:59:59 PM And so a round of applause to Kestrel!!! :joy: :woohoo: :yipee:
suggestion...I don't know if it would work on this forum but maybe a "more button" could be used to call up other emoticons so it doesn't get too crowded? Title: Re: Hello all Post by: Helen on November 04, 2007, 09:08:13 PM I thought this. I think when (if) more are added or if members agree that its a bit crowed, then the more button would have to be an option :)
(Sorry Corrie we hijacked your thread :mwaha:) Title: Re: Hello all Post by: corrie on November 04, 2007, 09:49:49 PM (Sorry Corrie...... we hijacked your thread Muttley)
