Hi Everyone I am so glad i stumbled upon this forum. I attended a soapmaking class in my area in Oct. and fell in love with real soap. I haven't tried a batch yet but I am anxious to learn from all of you. Your soaps are beautiful, I can't wait to try. Do most of you sell your soaps or just make them for your families personal use?

Helloo there
Welcome Jnice999
You will love it.
I find Soaping a challenge and a joy.
It is more of a life style for me at my lifes stage.
I do sell some and that gives me an idea of what is commercial as people are voting with their walletts .
I do love being able to make a comodity that enhances peoples lives.
You also meet heaps of special people thru soaping.
Good Luck

Hi and welcome!
I'm a pretty new soaper and, although I am making so much soap that it's taking over my house, I'm just doing it for fun (started out as Christmas presents). I may take a basket to the office - that should get rid of a few! I guess I should sell them to recoup some of my costs, but so far, I have not.
This soaping is bloody addictive, though! I have, I think, five bars in the shower at the moment and I use all of them every day. I am hopeless. I make mr surf girl give me reviews on lather, feel, etc. He is such a good sport.

I sell my soaps and other body care products at the farmer's markets and fairs. I had to start selling so that I could make money to buy more ingredients :shock: I found that I LOVED the customers, the atmosphere of the markets and fairs........they are so much fun. I don't feel it would pay to open a store front because of the overhead. I just don't think I could make enough money to keep it going. One of these days, I hope to have a website but simply haven't had the time to do it yet.
