Hi!

[Marie_with_an_e]

Hi everyone! I’ve been lurking for a while but am ready to come out in the open

I’ve been making cold process soap since 2006, along with other bath and body products, and had my own company for a bit. Then my first husband died and I went to nursing school. Fast forward 13 years and I’m now getting back into soaping on a regular basis, not just for family and friends anymore.

I live in the beautiful state of Virginia with my second husband (we’ve actually known each other since we were in pre-school and are high school sweethearts). We have one granddaughter who lives next door. We also have a dog and a cat. My hobbies are baking, sewing, and herb gardening, when I can find the time. Still a full-time nurse but blessed to work from home.

Anyway, I’m so happy to meet y’all!

Welcome @Marie_with_an_e
I think soap making is a lot like riding a bicycle. A skill that once learned is forever. Please post pictures. You’ll likely be using some herbs from your garden?
