WOOHOO!! I made it to page 100! It has taken me a couple days to it but I WILL PERSIST!! I am loving all I am learning and can't wait for all of my stuff to get in. My oils are here. Just waiting on scents, mold, pigments, etc. Maybe by the weekend?... or next week.

Made it to page 200!! Either I'm reading really fast or no one has any soaping to share?? My mold came in today. Just wainting on scents and I'm a sopain'!

I finally did it! I read the entire thread! Thank you all of you wonderful people for sharing your knowledge. I have goats and have been telling my dd that we would make goat milk soap. Yep, we made a batch together last week. It is curing on the rack right now. While she was at school I accidently made another batch without her. To make it up I think tomorrow we will make more together! The first batch was olive oil and lard with orange eo and some poppy seeds. The second was olive oil/ lard and coconut oil with lavender eo. I am debating on a rosemary scented one next or a scrubby coffee. We shall see. I have been using my milk frozen and chunked up like Cyndi suggested. Wow! they have turned out so white. Pretty sure the lard has something to do with it. I am going to make some non lard soaps next. I realise now that my vegetarian and kosher family members won't want to use soap with lard. Oops!

I have everything I need to make Casteel - except the lye. I'm looking, looking, looking for a local place. There are a couple of smaller towns I'm going to check out before I break down and buy off line. I prefer to avoid that if possible.

I'm nervous/excited about jumping in! I've been reading this thread and searching the net forEVER. Wish me luck.

Are there any ACE hardware stores or Lowes? They both carry it here.
