Title: Hi from Holland
Post by: Pure intuition on September 29, 2009, 12:52:03 PM
Hi fellow-soapers,

I found this forum via-via-via and am very pleased to become part of your community.

I make soap and anything else my fantasy comes up with. I love making bath bombs (although I am still struggling to get them out as a ball, instead of 1/2  ::)) and all kinds of soaps. I am also doing melt & pour projects with kids.

I hope I can learn from you and have a good contribution to the forum myself.

Ciao Sonja

Hello Sonja, welcome.

Lots of information here and on the main Fresholi site (and you'll be able to see even more when you've made more posts).

Some people have trouble with bath bombs and some don't, the only solution is to keep trying.

Ask as many questions as you want.

A very warm welcome Sonja,

It is lovely to have you here and I do hope you find it useful and make lots of new virtual friends (I know I have  :)).

I very much look forward to chatting more with you and hearing more about your adventures with 1/2 bath bombs  ;)

Sonja, I have to say, I have noticed some of your posts around the boards and your English is fantastic!!!  Have you lived in an English-speaking country because it is brilliant (and I am nosy  :mwaha:).

Hi Sonja & welcome!

At least you don't speak Souf Efrican with an English accent! Like someone that I know. ;)

Here there is a whole nother vocabulary to learn, did you see Helens list?  :mwaha:

Hope you enjoy being on this fantastic forum as much as I do! :)

Really?  That's funny  :mwaha:

I knew someone who went to Japan to teach English.  He spoke with a heavy Welsh accent.  He made me laugh before he went because he said (in his accent which made it funnier) "can you imagine....  all these Japanese kids going round speaking English with this accent?'  It still tickles me now  :mwaha:

Hahaha, yes I do know the SA accent. I can still spot if from a mile away :mwaha:

When I was there they thought I was Irish, but as I think that sounds really cute, I just took it as a compliment  ;D

Here I am often dubbed as Australian or New Zealander!  Like you I don't mind - I like all the children of the earth! ;D

But I do like it best when someone feigns surprise and says 'well I thought you were British, but now you mention it I can hear a just a trace of  SA in your  accent...' :hap2:
