Hello Salt,

I'm glad you finally stopped lurking. :grin: A belated welcome to the forum! :wave:

 

[SALT]

Hi Hazel, I am so lost trying to find my way around . I'm a forum virgin. But I must confess I do like to lurk . I not much of a talker/typer . I hope it's ok to lurk . Thanks for the welcome .

Welcome to the forum, from pervious experience there is lots of advice on here, good luck in Florida hope all goes well, uncanny that your moving out of ohio and I'm soon to be moving in..

 

[Hazel]

I hope it's ok to lurk .

Yes, it's fine to lurk. You may be surprised to find out I occasionally lurk, too.

But my lurking is more like that of a lion laying in wait for a gazelle to pass by before pouncing.

Hello again , I've been reading the different forums that interest me , but I have to say I'm really ignorant about how forums work . Can someone treat me like a first grader and give me a lesson on Forums . I am not ashamed to admit to need help . Thanks

I don't know what you mean by how the forums work. Post a comment if something interests you or if you have a question. Share pictures of your soap/B&B if you feel comfortable about it. You can post jokes or general interest items in the General Chat forum.

Wow! I hope to get up to speed in a few months on the amount of batches you did. How long did it take you on average?

Thank you

Hi everyone, I'm Ann and I'm new to soapmaking. I decided to learn how to make lotions and balms so that I could use products with all natural ingredients. I'm also interested in the medicinal uses of balms. I'm looking forward to learning from everyone.

 

[Hazel]

Hello and welcome to both of you! :wave:

Thank you

I made about 17 batches (2lb) for Christmas gifts. I made about the same since then for this year. I have been giving some to everyone to test. I made about 3 a weekend since October . Still learning! I measure the oils out for three at a time. Then make it over the weekend.
