Hey Mandy, I feel the same way as you.  It would be nice to earn some money
from the soapmaking to help pay for supplies, there¹s so much I want to do.

I¹m going to make a lip balm and I¹d like to formulate a healing cream to
help with my mum¹s arthritis but it all takes time and lots of research
so.....in the future.
