Hi everyone. I've been lurking for a few weeks now and since I've finally decided to start posting I thought I should do the polite thing and introduce myself.
My name is Judy and I live in Texas. I've been soaping for about a year now. My soap making addiction grew out of owning dairy goats and the need to do something with the extra milk. The first few batches I made were just to "play" I didn't have any intention of actually enjoying making soap LOL. Then after trying my soap WOW I was hooked. What a difference handmade soap is - my skin didn't itch, it didn't dry and crack in the winter and it's actually soft now!
I started out giving my soap away and listening to what the people that used it thought. And then I stared tweaking my recipes until everyone seemed happy with their soaps, so happy they keep demanding more, which I think is a good thing.
My family and friends have been telling me I need to make a business of soap so I've been lurking the forums, reading and learning. I'm still not sure it's something I want to do but I do like making soap and I figure if I'm going to do anything it needs to be something I enjoy...and there's all that milk that needs to be made into something
Thanks for letting me introduce myself, out of all the soaping sites I've visited this one seems to have the nicest, most helpful members.

Welcome to the forum . Having fresh goats milk on hand 24/7 has to be a great thing . I have to pay $6.00 for 2 qts at the store :shock: .
