Hi Jenny & all others that commented on my soap Thanks for your nice comments. When the colour was in the jug it was very dark, I put a bit then another bit then thought oh well I've made the colour now so I tipped it all in and then thought oops that's probably too much, but I wanted purple and that's what I got apart from some spots but I can pretend that was the plan! I love colour so I wanted something with colour, my other ones have been so so. Except the M&P soap I did was dark green, very lovely colour but possibly a bit dark as when you wash your hands there was green everywhere. The other one I did with the M&P was a mauve which is very pretty, haven't used yet but that colour probably won't run because it was a lightish purple. Jenny, I also haven't made soap for a while. You'll pick up google groups easy enough, see you there. Must catch up for lunch one day soon, Spring sounds good.

The purple is good. I think I've been too timid with the dye - I haven't actually got a colour yet only pale tinges and the dotty lavender one. I haven't been making any soap lately but am looking forward to soapmaking again once I get my group soap posted off. Jenny P.S. I'm joined up on google lists - not sure what happens next.

Here is the group's description: A private discussion group for people who make soap and other body care products. A place where we can share our recipes, see your own private page with photos, swap soap stories. This group will not appear in searches or the Google directory. ----------------------- Google Groups Information ---------------------- So heres whats going to happen: We will automatically join you to this group unless you request not to be included. However the other email list group will be dissolved. You can choose to receive the emails one at a time as we already do or you can choose a daily or weekly digest format. You will receive a email telling you that you have been joined. If you already have a google account it will take you straight to the group and if you do not you will be required to put in some basic information and create a password and join. You do not need to have a gmail account. Please let us know if you have any problems you need help with. Kind regards Alison and Gina
