Hi
I thought it about time, that i join the community and introduced myself. I am a relatively new soapmaker.
I have been soaping since the beginning of this summer, and I have been lurking on this forum almost as long. Thank you for all the help I have recieved this way.
I have made some (10+) bathches of soap, and some of them have cured long enough for me and my family to start enjoying them.
I think I have been bit by the soapbug. I still enjoy making soap and educating myself about soapmaking very much. I am curious, and look foreward to learning a lot more from and with you all.
I am from Denmark, so I am not a native english speaker. Please forgive my mistakes.

Hello Karen and welcome to the addiction - You will know you're an addict when you wonder if everything in the grocery can be added to soap and every container you see can be used as a mold......

 

[Millie]

Welcome Karen! Your english is perfect. I'm amazed by everyone here who has to communicate in a second language. I love this international soaping community

 

[KarenDK]

Thank you for al your welcomes.
I think I am starting to suspect an adiction. I just spend my sunday melting and clearing 6 kg of leaf lard from organic free range pigs. Lard, that i had spend the saturday picking up on a farm. A cuple of months ago, I did not know, that leaf lard was even a thing.

Hi KarenDK... my name is Trey and I'm a soapaholic. You know this when you come home from work and sit down at the dinner table and the first words out of my wife's mouth are, "I don't want to hear a word about soap"! :silent:

Welcome to the forum! Your English is excellent...

Howdy from Colorado, USA, and Welcome, Karen!

Ooo, leaf lard!!! Lucky you! I'm so jealous, absolutely green with envy. :mrgreen: I have it on my bucket list -- you know, that list of things you want to do before you die? -- to make soap with leaf lard. It's so very expensive here, even IF you can find it. I have a feeling you're going to fit right in here... we have many "lardinators".

ENJOY!​

Hi Karen,

Welcome to the group! Glad to have you here. I am new to the forum too, and like you, English is not my first language either. So don't worry! Unlike you, I have not made any soaps yet (still reading). Hope to see photos of your beautiful soaps!

Welcome

Hi KarenDK,
I am a new as well, and your right, there is so much great information here, how could we ever mess up.
I have not made any soap at all, but I am slowly getting tools and information and almost ready. I will post the results of my first batch when it's done.
I hope to make enough for Christmas presents this year and then keep the family in soap for a long time.
