Hello everyone

What a lovely, friendly forum.  I think I may have been bitten by the soap bug.  Although I am not as talented as the rest of you on the forum,  I am really keen to improve, and getting to the point that soap is taking up the majority of my thoughts!  My partner has quite a stressfull job in London, and he has started to join in with my making sessions and has found it extremely relaxing.  Infact, I think he could be quite talented - never thought he had an artistic bone in his body!  Most of the time we find ourselves talking about 'soapy' things.  I have really enjoyed reading the posts on here, and the advice given so generously by everyone is invaluable.  I am generally hesitant about joining forums,  but just loved the vibe on here and felt compelled to join up yesterday.

We all started at the beginning, we have good, great and sometimes dreadfully ugly soaps. So just post pics, it's also great to look back on and see how well you're progressing.  Smiley

Hi Vanni, welcome to the forum.  I must say, I found it quite touching that you and your OH are doing this together as a joint hobby/relaxation therapy.  It's lovely  :buttrf:  Anyway, welcome aboard  Smiley

Hi Vanni and welcome from Canada.  This is an amazing place and my favourite forum bar none.  I must say I'm  Jealous that your partner is into this too.

The more you post the more boards that will open up to.

So, uhm, when exactly do we get to start seeing pictures from you?   whistle
