About Me

My photo
I have a wonderful family who supports my many hobbies including singing, soapmaking, wine tasting and rabbits. I recently retired from teaching English as a Second Language and love to travel. I started making soap in 1999 when we were showing goats in milk as a 4-H project. All of my soaps are made with pure oils and no animal fats. All fragrances are from essential oils. Store-bought "soap" is really a detergent. My soap will leave your skin clean and moisturized. Try some!

Mad Elf - 4 pounds

My Mad Elf Soap is very popular this holiday season.  Tröegs is drawing large crowds to their new location in Hershey and the soap has become quite a popular gift item.  I've been making a 3 pound batch but have used the soap calculator to reformulate it for a 4 pound batch as that's what my mixing bowl can hold and also what my molds will hold.  However, we are nearing the end of Mad Elf season so these last few batches will be the end until next year!


24.3 oz. Tröegs Mad Elf Beer
 8.9 oz. Sodium Hydroxide

20.5 oz. Olive Oil
20.5 oz. Palm Oil

18.5 oz. Coconut Oil
 4.5 oz. Jojoba Oil


2 oz. Essential Oils (Christmas Forest blend)
1/2 C. Spent Grain
