New to forum from the Midwest

[Bnky]

Hi to everyone who reads this. I am new to the forum and am also new to soapmaking. This past winter I received handmade soap as a gift and have been hooked ever since. I have made a number of batches but am still in the learning stage. I really appreciate all of the valuable information that I learn from the forum and just wanted to thank all of you. I hope one day my soaps will look as nice as those I have seen posted in the photo's.

Welcome! Where are you in the Midwest? I'm in the Midwest, too... but the "midwest" is BIG!

Thank you all for your warm welcome. Kitn, soapmaking is great! It is one of the most rewarding crafts I have done. I really enjoy experimenting with EO blends and different blends of base oils. I have tried numerous recipes, some from a book I read and many that I have made up in order to achieve a creamy bar with great lather & bubbles. I use only natural ingredients so my bars have not been as pretty as many of the ones I see with the vivid swirls. But maybe as I keep experimenting I will find ways to mix natural colors that are more interesting. Janet, I am outside of St. Louis Missouri. You're right, the Midwest covers a big area. Are you near St. Louis?

Thank you all again for welcoming me.
