As some of you may know I'm a stay at home wife. I help my husband run our Painting Business from home. I'm 25 years old and I am going crazy sitting here. I was thinking of making all kinds of soaps and such things at home and selling them here in town and maybe opening an etsy store. I get a lot of satisfaction out of creating things with my hands, and I have all the room in the world to grow herbs and such.

How much is involved in getting started with something like soapmaking?? I've read a little of it on the net, but I'm just curious as to whether it would be worth my time or not. Is there really a market for hand-home-made things like this?

If I were to go through with this idea, what's a tidbit of advice you could share? Specific product request? Inventory idea?

Just brainstorm with me... :)
Thanks,
Cristine
