Just Ducky!

[Ducky]

Hi it's me...Ducky. I've been lurking for the past several weeks and thought it might be a good idea to introduce myself.

For starters I have never made soap before but have thought about it for the last six or seven years. I never "jumped" into it because 1) Living in Hawaii means sunny skies, sandy beaches, and high shipping cost (or non-existent shipping in the case of lye), and 2) My childhood nickname was crash because I was very accident prone

Now I live in Vancouver, WA, which doesn't help with the accidents but does allow me some freedom to be crafty.

Anyway, I enjoy reading everyone's posts and just thought I'd send a quack out to all my peeps :wink:

Welcome from across the river!

Just wear your protective gear, handle your lye with respect and follow directions carefully, and you will never need to relive the "crash" days!

Welcome to the forum , it is great to meet you . Like Mike said wear your gear and go for it , once you have that first batch under your belt , you will feel much better about soap making and the lye etc.( You will also be totally addicted and the good news is that there is no known cure :wink: )

Nice to have you here!

I was a nervous wreck making my first batch, but with safety precautions and having everything out and organized that I needed, I survived. (Bit of a klutz myself!) You'll be fine.

Happy Soaping!
