Early soaping 'information'

[Guest guest]

Shaye, your first soap recipe must have been quite an interesting

revelation! I decided to go through all of my 'records' since I

started soaping. (A nice sit-down project while recouping from my

surgery). I found things that I had in triplicate because I didn't

remember saving it the first time. Recipes that I will never make,

charts, property sheets (oils, fragrances), suppliers that have since

gone out of business. I have soap-making books that I just 'had to

have'. Hopefully I can finish this project and then go through all of

my other soap 'stuff'. Packaging, molds, equipment for different

projects, etc. Hmmmmm, I may need more time off from work. Does

anyone else have this problem? Time does go fast while doing this and

there is always the 'should I save this? Maybe I'll make this another

time'. Wish someone could wave a magic wand for me.....

Jeanine, I have the same problem, but even when I go

through it I look at a recipe and say oh that sounds

nice, I think I will make it and never get around to

it. So, guess it is about time for me to do my spring

cleaning that did not get done in the spring. Thanks

for the nudge.

Oh Star, It must be the curse of all soapers . Would be nice to catalog

everything and file it away for ‘future reference’ LOL My problem is that

my memory is not what it used to be.

I go thru my recipes & supplies every year around this time. It's my

annual " clean-out " phase. I don't buy anything any more unless I know

I'm definitely going to use it. I just can't make the justifications

now that I thought I could when I was new to soapmaking. And if items

aren't selling within a year of purchasing them, out they go. I've

kind-of starting living by that saying, " Do I really need it? Is it

making me money? No and no, then out it goes! " That's not it

exactly, but it's pretty darn close & serves the purpose!!

Ladies,

I have had paperwork on soaping since I began it as a hobby in 1994. Wow! I have

duplicates, triplicates, etc. of certain charts, graphs, properties of oil

lists, etc.

During this year's Spring cleaning, I vowed to get rid of everything that was

either a duplicate or if I no longer knew what the sheet of paper was actually

trying to convey, which were hundreds of pages. LOL!

So far, I'm down to my last two boxes. LOL! I had seven file boxes in the

closet! I now have a place to put my sneakers and shoes! Yipee! for me!

Me too, I did sort of a clean sweep around my desk area. I had copies of

things.. price lists and stuf from wayyy back from companies that no longer

exist! What the heck was I thinking when I printed that stuf out? Old old

catalogs also went.. My recipes are in an accordian folder though and

in a file on my computer.. or I would never find stuf. I have already

wasted hours looking for stuf and I am sick of that.

Because when your computer crashes, you can still find the information. LOL

I’m thinking that putting my recipes on the computer is a good plan. Maybe

when everything is organized (ha, ha) it’ll be easier to find things. I

know the feeling about ‘why did I print that out for?’
