Hi,

I'm Shirley. I'm new to soap making. I found a wonderful bar of soap a couple of years ago, but couldn't get any more of it. It was only sold at TJ Maxx and Marshalls and had no real brand name. I decided to make my own and I invested in the equipment. I've made several batches that are wonderful.

Welcome, @ShirleyHailstock! @Michele50, I lived in Bergen County till I was almost 11. We have no family left there now, but I still have wonderful memories of playing in the lake in the pine barrens every summer, where my family had a cabin, and also attending the Ocean County Jubilee on the 4th of July. Best fireworks ever!!
