does anyone have an olive oil soap recipe for a novice soap maker?

I'd like to try my hand at making soap. I've never done it before. I have a lot of olive oil here so I'd like to use some of it as the fat ingredient in the soap. Does anyone have a tried and true recipe?

Thanks Michelle. I'm going to try the delcitysoap recipe.

Rhonda, I have one, but I didn't post because I wouldn't say it is tried and true. I've only made it a couple times. If you still want it, let me know.

Please post it Kimberly. I'd love to try it.

OK, this is the recipe I'm using and I'm going to make tit tomorrow.
Olive Oil 16 Ounces
Distilled Water 5 Ounces
Sodium Hydroxide 2 Ounces
Essential Oil 0.7 Ounce

Do any of our soapmakers have any last minute hints for me?

Oh, Rhonda- I'm so sorry. I forgot all about this. And now I can't even give you the recipe if I wanted to, because it was on my old computer that crashed (you know, the one where I lost everything.)

Anyway, I haven't made any in a while so can't even comment on your recipe. If I ever find the sites I used to formulate mine, I will post them.

Good luck and let us know how it turns out!
