Awesome! I'd like to meet you. I'll be teaching the soap workshop at session 6.

The soap class filled 3 days after it was put on the website. The gals who are running it asked me if I would teach another one during the day, but I have signed up for classes myself that I really do want to take. I will be teaching a soapmaking workshop in my home on February 22nd. Both hot and cold process soap. If you look at my website, there's all the details.
