From the Author
Making soap is still a fun hobby for myself and now my two kids. We keep ourselves, our extended family and friends well supplied. I have made every type of soap in this book, but must admit Cinnamon, Dr. Mom, Rosemary Dill and Vegetarian II are still our favorites.
My hope in writing this book was to take the fear out of soap making and instill a spirit of adventure for the soap maker to experiment with essential oils and additives on his or her own.
I have enjoyed sharing my techniques and experiences through the written word and at book signings around the country and meeting the people who have used the book.
Thank you for your encouragement and support.
Happy soap making! Linda
