I am so excited to be part of this forum! I have been making soap for about 6 months now and I'm hooked! It started because I have goats and people kept asking me if I made soap. Eventually I thought I better at least try so I could tell people 'yes!' . I tried to make a goat milk soap with olive oil...it wasn't a success, lol. I had to rebatch and the whole thing turned into a weird gooey mess. But because I'm stubborn I tried again, and it was soap! And it looked and smelled good! A miracle! So I bought some fragrances, then tried a swirl a moderate success, and now I'm getting fairly consistent results! I have questions (oh, do I have questions!) and my house is starting to fill up with soap...but I love it
