Kia ora koutou I too have never done a soapswap before and just thought you would send the amount of bars of soap as people and every1 would get 1 of each person's soap...so if we have 5 people then we send 5 soaps and they could all be the same as they would go to different people, actually u would only have to send 4 soaps if you had 5 people cos u don't want your own back..anyway so tell me what the kaupapa ie philosophy, reason for actually doing the soapswap, sorry to ask the dumbest question!because the answer to this question affects my opinion on how many soaps we should swap! thanks Arohanui Mandy Coleman Mokihinui Mansions 36-56 Lewis Street Mokihinui RD1 Westport 037821837 0273075881 -----Original Message----- From: soapcraft-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:soapcraft-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Louise Shing Sent: Wednesday, 13 January 2010 8:54 p.m. To: soapcraft@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [soapcraft] Soap swap Hi Liz I've never done a soap swap before. I assumed that it was one bar of soap for each participant and was a little puzzled by the 3 that was being talked about. It wasn't until Gina spelled it out that I clicked and realised that (after looking at my stock piles of soap) I'd have to do another 2 batches to get some decent soaps (not happy with some of the colours). I think 18 is a bit too much. I'm quite happy to do 2, ie for 6 people x 2 batches of soap = 12 soaps - sort of as an in between measure. I'll go along with whatever the majority decide.
