WOW!!! Springvalley, I just now got on the computer since before Christmas. Read a little yesterday, but that was about all I could do. My computer decided to not recognize me all at once just before the holidays, and before I could figure out how to get back on it, I was hit with this sickness. I am not sure what it was, but I spent all of Christmas day in the bed!!!!!! And NOT getting sleep either, just running back and forth to the bathroom. I am finally getting some strength back.
ANYWAY........ your soap supplies went out priority this morning, I finally got a ride to the post office. It is ice covered roads here, and hubby took me out. You should have them this week. Thanks so much, Marilyn

Glad you're feeling better, Marilyn.

Marc (of Spring Valley) has promised Catherine (of Spring Valley) and me that he will watch the children (with the help of "and sometimes Paul") so Catherine and I can get in a day of serious soap making and fiber dyeing! It will be one child a piece, so I know they can handle it!

Marylin, Glad you're feeling better... and that my fragrances are on the way! Cyndi, I haven't hit up Marc for the day off as yet. Perhaps after the new year? Right now it's just surviving the holidays...
Catherine
p.s. I made another batch of the laundry detergent. It did the same thing!! Something's going on that I just don't get. Seems as it cools, one or more of the ingredients drifts to the top and then hardens!! Am I supposed to be stirring it constantly as it cools to keep it from separating out like that? I'm wondering if it's the Fels Naptha as it's the ingredient that floats? Would it be better to use another soap? HELP!!
