Nicky Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 I finally took the plunge after months of trying to get up the nerve. Lye scared the crap out of me but once I tried CP it's not scary at all. I would like to thanks those that helped me out while I was getting the nerve up. E for putting up with my questions months ago and Funky munkey for giving me the kick in the ass to do it, plus dealing with my "blond" moments. I feel like I'm doing an awards show. lol So on to my soaps. Nothing fancy, but it's a start. Don't fear the lye. http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b203/sweetcheekys/100_1070.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingerinarkansas Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 They look great Nicky. I've been tossing around the idea of trying soap but the fear of lye scares me too. I'll get brave someday and give it a try. Your soap looks great...what scent is it? Ginger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicky Posted November 14, 2006 Author Share Posted November 14, 2006 Thank you everyone for the kind words. The round ones are scented pleasures and the other is lavander (gag).Funky? What do you mean what I come up with next. lol j/kFor those that want to make it: Do it! It's easier than it looks and it's addicting. Wear goggles and all that stuff and you're fine.Thank you again.
