and I know diddly squat about Victoriana as well Mandy...... but I had this big, loooong, talk to myself about how one doesn't get to play a game by standing on the sideline, so that was the reason I opted in to the soap swap Maggie _____ From: soapcraft-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:soapcraft-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Mandy Coleman Sent: Thursday, 27 May 2010 7:46 a.m. To: soapcraft@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [soapcraft] Re: Next Project Kia ora Well heather I was much the same but I have learnt one thing , actually 2 about myself over the years , firstly I really am a jump in the middle of it all think about the consequences later person and 2ndly if I don't jump in I regret it..oh yeh I often regret it when I do jump in too!lol but yeah, I know nothing much about victoriana but who cares..i just wanna be a part of it all!

Can't make up my mind whether join in with this project. I am feeling I don't know enough yet to be of any use. Maybe I should sit this one out and hopefully learn a bit from all the chit chat and be ready for next time. :-) Heather From: soapcraft-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:soapcraft-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of gobyrne Sent: Wednesday, May 26, 2010 4:23 PM To: soapcraft@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [soapcraft] Re: Next Project hi there this newbie/lurker will watch with interest from the sideline. i'm just home today from hospital after having a plate fitted to my shoulder after having a fall a couple of weeks ago. i can't wait to get on with my soapmaking after getting all sorts of goodies and molds from Gina, but this will have to be put on hold for a few weeks. I will follow what you all do with interest. Pam ----- Original Message ----- From: Ross <mailto:galahad@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Spencer To: soapcraft@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, May 24, 2010 9:47 PM Subject: [soapcraft] Next Project Ok we are going to run with a Victoriana themed soap swap Can I have names or everyone interested? How many we have participating will determine how distribution will go. The soap should be themed around Victorian concepts, historical or fictional characters or places, Victorian poetry, etc. Whatever you do should have a feeling of Victoriana. For example, you may want to do a soap called Petticoats and Powder The theme should encompass all aspects of the soap - the scent, colour, inclusions (if you want), the concept. Full reviews are not required but it would be great to comment on the soaps that people have put so much effort into. It would be nice for me to have the soaps in your possession by the first day of spring (1st September) which gives everyone time to research, plot, make and deliver. Bearing that in mind soaps would need to be with me by the second week of August so that I can get them out to you on time Would be great to get some of you newbies and lurkers involved.
