Ethical concerns aside... I just hope that as technology further develops, the possibility of uploading our memories onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's one of the things I really wish I could experience in my lifetime.<br /><br><br />(Posted on Nintendo DS running [url=http://kwstar88.zoomshare.com/2.shtml]R4 SDHC[/url] DS SPPost)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14988614.post-71279731901792350302009-10-23T18:33:23.290-07:002009-10-23T18:33:23.290-07:00Yes, two people making soap was definitely the way...Yes, two people making soap was definitely the way to go.

I also enjoyed your apron making story, just adorable. My mother and I started making aprons and we had a hoot, even had some disasters. It is so great to be able to visit again as I have had a busy summer, I always enjoy visiting you.<br />Blessings,<br />SueSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16949983164111997270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14988614.post-67508917230119012582009-10-20T05:16:28.191-07:002009-10-20T05:16:28.191-07:00Way to go!

I made it with my goat's milk and home-grown lavender.I still have a few bars of soap I have saved 'just because' , the rest of my soap was in great demand from my family and I bet yours' will be too. Aren't you glad you went ahead and just did it?

I actually broke out in a cold sweat when I was pouring the lye into the water. That was 5 years ago and now it's second nature - except that I will always have a healthy respect for the lye. What scents did you use?? Now you'll be hooked and making soap all the time!<br /><br />Hugs,<br />KayKay-The Rustic Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18037006582141298837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14988614.post-5926165988327901492009-10-19T14:59:21.104-07:002009-10-19T14:59:21.104-07:00Looks like you all did a good job.I was scared at ...Looks like you all did a good job.I was scared at first too.I think everyone is a little.<br />Homemade soaps make wonderful Christmas presents!Melodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03795916460978775241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14988614.post-74125985652312395782009-10-19T14:50:49.822-07:002009-10-19T14:50:49.822-07:00Good for you!
