Getting together w/an oily friend

[Guest guest]

" Now, I'm the Dallas area, ick!, and don't know anyone! Christy "

 

Hi Christy,

 

I'm new to this list & was wondering if you make soap? If so I would like

to invite you to join the Texas Soapmakers Association & our online group. I

am fairly new to the association myself & they are such a nice bunch of

ladies & very willing to share... & there are quite a few in the Dallas area,

as a matter of fact we just had our annual convention in Plano. You just

might meet a buddy thru us!!! The website is www.txsoapmakers.org

 

Have a wonderful day! donna

and just play with smelly stuff for fun <<<

 

This has always, by far, been one of the most rewarding and funnest aspects

of enjoying aromatherapy and all it entails. None of my " regular " friends

have much knowledge or interest, certainly not the passion, that we all have

for the oils. It has always been so fun and rewarding to meet with a

fellow oil lover and talk shop.

 

While I was in Calif., I met with Stacey a couple times. What a blast!

 

While in Phoenix, Donna G. and I got together many many times. She has

such a HUGE stash of oils, I loved going to her place. She always sent me

home with *something*.

 

It was a real treat meeting a few others at the AromaHerb show in Tempe a

few years ago, David, Carrie....

 

And then going down to Tucson twice to the Sorensons for an AT meet with a

dozen or so others, including Martin Watt the first year and Butch Owen the

following. Lynda and Graham are both so nice.

 

Now, I'm the Dallas area, ick!, and don't know anyone! These online lists

are great, but there's nothing like spending real time with someone who just

" gets it " when we talk about the industry.

 

So I second Chris' suggestion! I used to be able to do it, and miss it

something awful!

Hi Christy,

I too am in Texas ... but when I hear the Houston area folks talk about

getting together for a meet-up, I might as well be back in MN. Next time I'm

in the DFW area, I'll send you an email and maybe we can " play " . Or, if you

ever head toward the Hill Country, give me a holler.

P.S. I was also at the Tucson non-conference when Martin was there.

Hi Christy,

I live in Richardson, which is either a mile from Dallas or acros the

road(depending on which road you're on, LOL).

I bore most people who are not soapmakers to tears, so I certainly

can relate to what you are saying, and I too enjoy getting together

with others who " get me " .....God forbid! LOL

I am a wee baby when it comes to EO's, and that's why I'm here. But

there are a group of ladies who have a monthly lunch on the weekend

(as a matter of fact this weekend is the next one). I only go every

couple of months, so I can't be considered " regular " . I'm sure I

speak for the group when I invite you if you want to come. PM me if

you're interested.

PS-Too bad I wasn't interested in most of this when I spent 15 years

in Phoenix. I understand there are alot of great people there.
