The problem with becoming a soap addict.

[lsg]

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]I don't know how many soap makers have experienced this. In my case, it has led to making lip balm, deodorant, dish washing liquid, shampoo, and detergent. It has also led to the making of basic food products such as Butter, buttermilk, bread baking, making my own wine etc. I guess you get the picture. I have even become a food hoarder and cringed at the thought of buying anything I can make myself. My family members think I am crazy and the biggest penny pincher they have ever seen, but interesting enough, they keep asking me for freebies. I was just wondering how many of my fellow soap makers have had similar experiences. [/FONT]

My family members love the free shampoo, bath jelly, soap etc. they get as gifts. My trouble is I have to order all the ingredients for a new type of recipe. Now my storage area looks like some kind of illegal lab with all of the bottles and jars. When my grandson gets my craft room finished, I will have much more storage area. Who knows what kind of madness that will bring.:wtf:

I started out making candles. Then went through all kinds of waxes to learn each type wax and candle before I started soapmaking. I think its natural to just want to learn more if you are really addicted to it. So far I have done lip balms, lotions, lotion bars, and body butter. I would be doing a lot more but my pocketbook keeps me grounded. LOL

Don't forget beef jerky! It keeps in the fridge for months and in the freezer forever

I make soap. My husband just started making jerky. Lol.
