Bought a book last year and got very excited about making soap and then remembered that with the youngest two kids still under 5 and the last one not starting nursery school till September of this year, I had no hope of getting started. Now it's July and the countdown to freedom and creative projects is on. I need some very basic help so I'm off to the soap forum for some advice. Feels great to join, hope all on this forum are happy and well. Jo.
