Can't Wait!

I just cannot wait to make soap this season -- what's that all about? Usually I'm apprehensive about starting up the soap, it takes up so much time and counter space and all that gear is loaded into the prep room in big plastic bins -- basically, it's an endeavor of epic proportions, like prepping for a Thanksgiving day meal. But when the dust settles--or should I say 'suds'?-- when the molds are washed and dried, the tools cleaned up, the bins packed and put away, and all that's left is a table full of luscious handmade soap, well, that makes the fuss more than worthwhile.
