Title: A big Thank you xxx
Post by: plumseverywhere on December 12, 2010, 07:38:09 pm: I just wanted to say a huge thank you to all of you who have encouraged me, guided me and purchased from me since I decided to have a go at making soap - which then turned into a business!!
Hard to believe that back in May I was dithering about if I was brave enough to mix caustic soda with goats milk!! Its Baaa-th time has really taken off and I owe so much of this to my friends here at TAS :)
Already planning my Valentines and Mothers day range, which sounds bizarre when we are yet to have Xmas but as its cold process it takes 4 weeks to cure and having run short of a few of my soaps this christmas I intend to make enough to get me through my next busy burst!!

thanks again everyone

Well done you!

Annie, that's so grim!!! bacon soap!!

am currently stocking the online shop back up with some new stuff coming up... I now have certification to make baby soap :) I am going to make all the fragranced soaps more natural by using more essential oils instead of synthetic fragrance oil where possible and I have made a new bar called 'willowbank avocet' in memory of the lovely milking goat who started this all off, its pure essential oils, lime, ylang ylang and lavender and I'm really pleased with it.
thanks again and merry christmas!!
