Gathering my Soap Making Courage

I was planning on making liquid castile soap last weekend but when I got out my supplies I realized that I had accidentally ordered sodium hydroxide (lye for making bar soap) instead of potassium hydroxide (lye for making liquid soap). No problem, I thought, I'll just learn how to make bar soap!
*shaking head and laughing at my own naivety* After reading up on it all week, I have to admit that I'm VERY intimidated. I was hoping to give my first batch a try this weekend, but I'm still waiting on more supplies I ordered from Amazon.com. I am really excited and I will definitely let you know how it turns out!

Let me know how it goes! I went to school with a guy who makes a living off making and selling soap!
