My Hero!

You've heard me mention Kathy Brennan, Berkshire Hills Soapwerks, as my teacher and mentor for soapmaking. Ten years ago I took a class from her and was honored with her attendance at the CNY Gathering. It was inspiring to see how she "payed it forward" so to speak all these years and the house was full of soapmakers that she ultimately created. The day went smoothly and lots of info was shared by all. For more photos, visit me on facebook (Maria Patch Gelnett).

YIPPEE!!

Until then,
Happy Soaping!
