beau's mama Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I finally stepped to the other side & gave birth 2 days ago I cut the cord today & decided to give her some balls while she's still young.Unscented w/ a botched (last minute thought) "swirl in the pot" and tiny air bubble thingies & tiny color clumps all over the place, yet, I'm proud. The fear of the lye went away as soon as I poured it in the water. I'm so glad the first time is over. Almost like the first time I..um, forget it...there may be kids reading here:laugh2: Everything went almost textbook...except for a couple of things here & there that I'll get better with in time. I rebatched some of it so I could get my Neem on.OK, back to soap calc so I can plug in my 50th recipe LOL.One thing I don't get is how all of you talk about how addictive CP is. PULEEZE! It's really nothing special. I could never get addicted. Definitely not from one tiny batch. Nope. Not me. No way. NEVER!Just because I went to walmart at 10pm to get coconut oil & lard so it would be here for me to soap this weekend DOES NOT mean I'm addicted! And yeah, I went to soaper's choice to price some oils, but I use oils all the time and it's time to buy in bulk...you know, for my body oils. And...and just because I called my carpenter friend about making me some wooden molds doesn't mean anything either. I just want the molds for bubble bars that I don't make.gotta go...soap calc is calling me like crack! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vio Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Woo hoo!!!! Just because I went to walmart at 10pm to get coconut oil & lard so it would be here for me to soap this weekend DOES NOT mean I'm addicted! And yeah, I went to soaper's choice to price some oils, but I use oils all the time and it's time to buy in bulk...you know, for my body oils. And...and just because I called my carpenter friend about making me some wooden molds doesn't mean anything either. I just want the molds for bubble bars that I don't make.gotta go...soap calc is calling me like crack!Oh yeah you got it bad already! I've actually been looking around the property the past weeks, for any sign of any hard woods that I can molds from. Damn snow hiding all the good stuff though. I had a brilliant idea. Pallets. I asked husband to pick up any while at work that anyone is giving away. Untreated raw wood. Your baby is beautiful balls and all!!! Congrats!!!
