Hello - and a lesson learned on lye water...

[Being Restored]

... I sort of feel like the little kid just learning how to ride a tricycle ( hey this is kinda fun, sort of easy...) and then seeing all the other kids on two wheels doing flips and tricks and such - you know, free-styling it. (wow!)

I appreciate all of the encouragement and tips- For SURE!

Does anyone else use books out there, or just me?!

How did you start - with a recipe, or just went for it intuitive- like?

.... alrighty then.

( I hope I have not offended anyone...)

Thanks for the help - and see you around soon.

I started out using recipes from The Everything Soapmaking Book. Once I was comfortable with the process of soaping I started making my own recipes. To be honest with you I haven't cracked a soap making book for a recipe in probably a year and half. I know the formulations that do good with my skin. And I think there's a greater sense of accomplishment or pride to know you are soaping your own recipe. Something that you created!

You didn't offend anyone. Usually the intro threads are pretty short lived as after an intro...most people go post in the regular sections of the forum. I'm sure that is what happened. No worries!

There's not many 2 page intro threads...so you did good! lol

I appreciate the reassurance - thank you!!!

I thought that the 'introduction' forum was more than 'hi' - but for those of us who are still being introduced to this whole new world of soapmaking.

When I pop over into the other forums, I am so far over my head that I wonder just what I have gotten into... so I retreat back here! :?

Thanks for the head's up on how all this works!
