Hi from the very hot land down under

elizabetty · Feb 10, 2009

Hi,
I'm Tracy, I live in Brisbane, Australia. I have 2 children Isabelle (4) and Simon (nearly 2 - how did that happen - LOL). I started getting interested in making soap because of Simons excema.

I've made a 5 batches so far, the first 2 looked really ugly but were nice soap, the last 3 are much more respectable looking.

I was cruising around last night and this forum looks great and I am very excited to be a member.
Cheers
Off to find somewhere cool.
Tracy

Welcome to the forum.
If you can send some of that warm weather across the pond it would be greatly appreciated.

I tried to send the heat with my last lot of parcels I sent this week - LOL they were all going to the northern hemisphere so I thought you guys could use it - rofl.

I think it may have worked as I'm not dripping in sweat at 830 in the morning like I was yesterday. - woohoo.

Although I would find it very difficult with the weather you have been receiving it looks awful.
