Happy to be back!!!
I've been MIA for a couple of months. To busy worrying and feeling sorry for my self, holdiays, etc.....
But I am back and I bring with me a brand new positive attitude!!!!!
I was lurking around and saw different challanges, will get nto some of those, and saw a few post I was curious about.
On this soap making stuff,,, is is cost effective? Would it not be cheaper to buy soap instead of all the supplies to make it?
I plan of making 2009 the best year ever!!!!
So, I hope everyone is prepared to be hit with 1001 questions!!!

Welcome back!
I have not tried the homemade soaps, but I imagine that it is cost effective, only becuase you get a much larger batch when making then when you buy it already made. But I'm sure someone who has made it can let you know for sure!

Hi and welcome back. Unsure about cost effectiveness of home made soaps as I have never made them. Have fun reading and posting.
