Making soap opens up a whole world of color, scent and design! I find myself lying in bed at night(sorry hubby) daydreaming about the next batch of soap I can make. I think of the colors I will use and the scents I will mix...should I swirl or should I layer...what does the scent look like in color...should I do a loaf or a slab...awe the possiblilities. Is this normal or do I need an intervention. :D
 
Normal ... what's that?

It's definitely to be expected by all folk who wander down the path of soap making.

I spend hours at night ... when I should be sleeping ... reading about fragrances ... researching if anyone has used them ... planning how I'd like them to look ... thinking about whether I need to make 'soap shapes' too add ... sometimes think I'm like a site manager ... planning the order I need to do things ... lol!

... and I love it!
 
Hehe it's like you described me, I'm always thinking about soap...my next soap, oh and I'd like to do that, I bet that would be fun, what if i put this in, or I could use that scent, that would be pretty....I talk about it way too much as well and yep a lot of the times at night I'm up at the pc browsing suppliers websites :p
 
Totally normal! I have been soaping for 4 years now and I still dream soap at night and in the daytime. Sometimes I put myself to sleep thinking about my next soap batch-to-be.
 
YEP - that's called addiction. Sorry to say that you are now afflicted. Well, actually I'm not sorry because I like having the company!! :D
 
Hearing your stories I am feeling "normal" again!...or could it be that I just made the batch of soap I dreamed up last night. :D
 
I just bought 6 bottles of EO on my lunch break. Now I'm trying to decide on a blend I can make for my next batch. Soaping is always on my mind these days. Yes, for me too, everything is a potential mold, scent or color inspiration :lol:
 
i am constantly writing little post it notes to myself about soap and blends and thinking about how i want my soap to look...it's consuming. Like right now, I should be working but here I am thinking about soap!
 
Thats why i love this forum, so many soap stories to read and share.

My excited chatter about how a fragrance behaves, or the type of swirl and colour I'm planning on next, just causes a glazed over look with family and friends. Sigh......if only they knew!

And I too dream about it, think about it, google it, watch vids on it, post about it, all the time.
.....oh and sometimes I make it too :D

It an addiction I dont want to cure
 
Gosh I'm always thinking about it...my hubby is so polite bless him, I am continuously rambling on and on about soap and scents, he just sits and listens...well I think he's listening lol.
I'm super clean too, always popping in the shower busting to try my soaps out...yes it's a addiction alright.

LOL! I have post-it notes on my kitchen windowsill right now, a spiral note book by my computer which contains my wishlist and project ideas, & my nighttable is toppling over with soap-making books.

And Good-Lord, I just discovered SoapCalc, so I am trying to figure all that out now. I spend ALL my work break time on this forum, or WSP, Brambleberry, Peak...

I feel like a freak at times, because I cannot stop talking about soap. I am quite sure I drive everyone crazy! Good to know I'm not alone, tho, ha :lol:
