Hibernating for the winter

Hello everyone!

As many of you may have noticed, there hasn't been a whole lot of soaping going on around here lately. I'd like to say I was hibernating for the winter... (It is extremely difficult for me to get motivated when the days are short and it's freeeeeeezing cold outside!) Now that spring is finally here, I'm going to start up with my crafting again!

I have quite a few new exciting things in the works, including two new soap lines that I'm working on (in my head at the moment)! I'm hoping to get one of my new lines in a local store when everything is all completed... *fingers crossed*

I am also participating in the Brambleberry Soap Swap that is taking place in the next month and a half... I'm signed up for the melt-and-pour group for now since I've never tried cold process... I'd love to encourage others to sign up for the swap as well! All the rules are on the Soap Queen blog at this link.

I'm getting really amped up about finally trying my hands at cold process soap. It has been something I've wanted to try since I first got into soap-making back in November of 2009 but I was afraid to work with lye... I've finally "manned" up and I'm ready to dive right in! I'm pretty busy this coming week (with marathon training and Sweet Adelines competition this weekend!), but hopefully in the next week or so I'd like to make my first batch! I'll take pictures and post them once I actually try it!

Thanks for stopping by!
