yeah i already do melt and pour lol, i have wanted to do cp for awhile just scared.. my kids are ages 1, 5, and 8 i have the gate up so you cant get to the kitchen but the older 2 can just go over it, and when i am making MP or candles they dont like to stay out of the kitchen always comming in to see what i am doing no matter how much i tell them when i am in there working not to come in... i could do it during the day while them 2 are at school but my 1 year old wants attention so i couldnt be there watching like i should be... and now my hubby says lye is not allowed in this house he forbids it especially after i showed him that one link where the little boy dumped the water/lye on himself... it will have to wait awhile..
