I'm xavalyss. Been making soap for around 13 years. Mostly make cp. Once upon a time I had a dream of making a business of it, but I just don't have what it takes to sell. Quit making it completely for a few years, but recently started making some again just for fun. Also, was running low on my personal supply. Glad to find a community of soapers to talk to, and hope to make some friends! I'm 60 years old, have 3 grown kids, and seven grands, and a great-grand on the way. Married for 21 years to my best friend. I'll tell you more about him on another day.

Have a dr. appt. shortly, so hope to be around a lot!

Welcome, Xavalyss! :wave:

I can relate to not having the business savvy to sell. In a perfect world, I would be the busy little soap elf in the backroom designing and making all sorts of wonderful concoctions, while somebody else with a good head for business worked the front room. lol
