Just thought I would stop by and say hello. I love the site and forums, have spent far too many hours over the last couple of days reading through it all. I am about to start soap making, well at least I have ordered some moulds so far. I am going to try melt and pour to gain a bit of confidence first. Watch this space for my tales of woe  :mwaha:

Hello KS - welcome in.

There's certainly a lot to read here - and even more over on the main site, then the more you post there's even more you can get to see.

It's a bit quiet here ATM - one of the regulars is lounging under a plum tree in Portugal (if it's stopped raining) and others are busy getting stock ready for the summer season.

There are a few others starting out on MP so you'll be in good company; if you trawl through Soapy showoffs you'll find a few MP soaps - with one or two of Sue G's masterpieces.

Hi KS,

It is great to have you here.  It is good have a look through previous discussions because I am sure you have a few questions that have probably already been answered    We are a melting pot of different levels experience and disciplines.  In a way, we are all new to something. 


I look forward to chatting with you around the boards!!   

Thankyou Elaine and Helen for the  lovely welcome. I have just been looking for the legal stuff re dog soaps, can't seem to find it as yet, can any of you point me in the right direction  please ?I wanted that to be one of my first projects.

It's in the Legal section - when you've made more posts you'll be able to see it.

In the meantime this quote from Chrissie of Gorgeous Guineas answers most of your query


There are certain essentil oils which are no go - I'll see whether they're listed anywhere.

Hello and welcome to a great forum

Michelle

Hello KS, welcome aboard. I'm sure you'll find the threads here very useful. Any questions, just ask

 

Wow , I hope i can remember all your names , thanks for the welcome from you all. Love the piccy's Danielle, hi to Lynne, Corrie you might get fed up of all my questions !  Michelle, my name is Kath  by the way.  Elaine thanks for posting that info, I must say it has shocked me somewhat, crikey poor animals don't need the safegaurds. I have been searching for an answer to the dog shampoo as I fancied making some gentle soothing sort for my pup, he has such itchy skin bless him , I swear its the  shampoo i bought for him. I know you arent  supposed to wash dogs too much , but mine is a mucky pup and likes to roll in yucky stuff.  I know you can't use essential oils etc on cats as it can be toxic, I just wanted to  be sure I knew what I could use for dogs that's all. Thanks so much for your help and i guess i ought to scoot onto the other boards now   and not clog up the welcome board. 

Welcome along KS. 

hello ks, you are warmly welcome.

Thanks for saying hello chica and Wino.
