Welcome, atiz! And that's very pretty soap!

Thank you for the suggestions, @Chris_S and @Misschief ! I'm the kind of gal who reads and studies for months on end, before taking the plunge, haha! I'm off work until Jan 2nd, and will be trying a small batch of lotion today, but I think that I see swirls in my future!!

@BillOB Those are gorgeous soaps, and only your first batches?? Well done! I haven't used orange oil in soap yet, but have read that people have had to anchor it with something like litsea cubeba, or use orange 5 fold (or even 10 fold).. but please don't give up, because your soaps are super...

I am in love.. and can't show our daughter, or she will have us shopping for another puppy, lol!! I'm sorry to hear about your other fur baby passing (it's always the hardest part of owning pets).. but so glad that you found someone new to share your days with.. Merry Christmas!

We started a couple of new traditions this year - first, I got to cook Christmas dinner on the 24th, which leaves the 25th free to just relax, and pick at leftovers, yay!! We don't go crazy on gifts, and this year was just perfect - I got a bunch of bushcrafting items, as did DH, and our...

@KiwiMoose that looks gorgeous - you are so brave, to rock out the swirls... I'm still gearing up to try multiple colours

Omg, that is soòo beautiful! All of these pics just make me drool!

Lol at this thread.. when I saw the word drones, I immediately thought of bees.. (the boys are known as drones)...

@OldHippie Welcome, and hello from 108 Mile Ranch!! And cheese making, yum!! My hubby and I took a class for our anniversary a few years ago.. let us know how that shave soap turned out!

I made a Vanilla/Lavender body butter for my daughter last night (for Christmas, by request). I also made both of us a conditioning hair oil.. will whip up some beard oil for hubby today, and am hoping to brave the waters of lotion crafting over my holidays..

I read about a million books/posts on BBs before making them; I pack very tightly, but I also incorporated the tip to press a little hole with my thumb in each side before putting them together - this apparently helps them float, and spin... I can't confirm that 100%, but my huge BBs did both!

So much yes here!!! I think I read about making body care soaps for almost a year before trying it, though I had been making laundry soap before that.. and wanted to tweak my formula, so started learning about SAP values.. now, I want to know every piece of this amazing puzzle, Haha!

Lol!! Here is a meme for us beeks

Merry Christmas, from our family to yours!!

Years ago, I had a pet rat.. now, we just have cats, dogs, a teenager and bees, lol!! Maybe I should have posted a photo of my teen?

I melt a bit of cocoa butter and mango butter - leave out the soft oils. Also, I add my liquids sooooo slowly, and mix, mix, mix... I do use Epsom salts, to soften water, kaolin clay, and even witch hazel... and mine have all turned out great (though I'm by no means an expert). The most...
