Hi everyone, just got a lovely email from Helen telling me about the site so I though I'd come join you!

My name's Emma I live in Durham with my 6 month old daughter Lily Grace and my ginger and white cat Naughty Jack. I'm into loads of crafty type stuff and while on maternity leave discovered the wonderful world of hand made body and bath products. Up to now I've had a go at CP soap (1 disaster then total success I'm glad to say), lip balm (a fav with my friends), bath melts, body butters (not overly successful so if anyone has any tips that would be great), body scrubs and, today for the first time, lotion/massage bars (just have to find someone to help me use those now, lol).

Anyhoo, I'm looking forward to chatting and getting to know you all and helping where I can!!

Aw, Lily Grace... that's such a sweet name.  Naughty Jack?  I won't ask how that name came about, lol.

A very big warm welcome Emma and thank you for joining us here.  We are just getting going and I am always thrilled when someone new joins us.  There are some very lovely and talented people here with vairous levels of experience so everyone has something to offer and something to gain.

Hey, well done you on all those creations.  I'm sure you'll get soemone to help you use those lotion bars (things we put our family and friends through eh?  lol).  When are you back to work or do you plan to turn your hobby into a career?

Well thank you for joining us and do have a browse through the forum at some of the posts, there are some rather interesting threads.

Thanks again Emma and a big warm welcome from me!
