Soapmaking kind of day

My mom and I are making soap. I found olive oil based clear glycerin at Hobby Lobby so we'll try that instead of the cucumber. The cucumber is more milky white - the clear will be fun to try out. We have dried flowers, including calendula from my garden. Also I am going to try melting beeswax this time to add to the soap. I am looking forward to making a lavendar/beeswax/honey soap!

I would like to make some chaptstick for winter too - on Friday a friend and I are attempting lotions and salves. If I can pick up some lip stick containers maybe we can give it a try.
