Soap buddies.....

[eyebright]

Clemmeny and CaliChan--- Let's all be soap buddies. I don't have any family or friends in the state besides my husband. He's not much a soap fanatic as I am. lol


I would love to correspond and become friends with anyone on here, as well.


My name is An and a newbie at CP for the last 9 months.

Hi An
I would love to share experiences with you, and we can both learn from each other.
I have been making soap for over 2 years, don't sell it, but love the challenge.
I am in Southern Ontario, Canada, but like you, don't have anyone who is really interested in my soapmaking. In fact, I have found that as a rule, people don't really realize the work and knowledge that goes into making a bar of soap,or for that matter, most homemade things, like sewing or knitting.
It would be nice to hear what you are doing, and perhaps exchange some pics.

all the best
Helena

Great thread. My experience with other soapers in my area (Midwestern Ontario) has been less than friendly. Each time I have approached one their reaction could be taken as "Buzz off, I'm far too experienced to be talking to the likes of you." They are aware that I will be turning this into a business and perhaps they view me as competition...little do they realize that their reaction has done nothing but add even more determination to come out on top! This forum has been fabulous and everyone I've 'talked' to has been nothing but helpful and friendly.

All I know is that if a soaper approaches me my reaction won't be so negative. I'd love to have a soaping buddy in my area to go out with and talk soap!

If people are looking for a more personal soap buddy as well as the general friendship of the forum, please feel free to pm me. I am not the most knowledgeable about soaps yet nor do I have a lot of experience, but I am more then happy to share what I know and talk to others Also, I live in Western Mass and I would not mind meeting people in person if they wish. I know there are other people in Mass here as well as some others in New England area. I often travel to NH and go to CT on occasion, so I am open to visiting in some other areas as well

It was great to get your reply, and hopefully one of us will figure out how to do this privately. I have never tried this before, and am not that computer savvy, so until we get this straightened, great soaping and I will be in touch.

Hey Moonshea! I am currently in upstate NY and wouldn't mind a buddy! I will only be here for another year or so as we'll possibly be moving back to PA (homebase) after the hubs is done with the military. The only buddies I have are this forum and I am slowly sucking my husband into it (Hehe!)

If anyone is near pittsburgh I would love to start a cp soapers group but alas have not found anyone around me. I do craft shows and sometimes will see another soaper but they are usually out of state and well do melt and pour. I have nothing against m&p but consider it kit making and think too it is part cheating especially in the selling angle.

 

[tinglingclean]

Thanks so much, learn something new every day. Not just a soap buddy, but a life buddy.
take care
