<span style="font-size: x-small;">In 2007 I started making soap and I soon realised that it was a real pain working out the lye content and oil percentages every time I wanted a new recipe. I am pretty sure you all know what I am talking about. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">If you are not a lover of Math's then this may lead you to break out into a cold sweat. I do like Math's but I like to save time more. So I did a little internet research and came across an AMAZING tool – </span><a href="https://www.soapmaker.ca/index.php" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: x-small;">SoapMaker</span></a><span style="font-size: x-small;">. My business was just starting out AND the programme was in dollars!! The cold sweat was back. What to do? I emailed the contact address and asked if there was a payment plan option not really expecting a reply. Boy was I surpried when an email came back with a link to download – FREE. Please note the options available now are a lite version for $49.00 or Pro version at $99.00.Ever since then I have done everything in my power to download every beta test they have and test the heck out of it. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I recently realised that I communicate with this faceless person (Crawford Woodman) and it would be nice to know more about the man behind SoapMaker. You can see the basic information on his </span><a href="https://www.soapmaker.ca/about.php" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: x-small;">about page</span></a><span style="font-size: x-small;">. </span><br />
<u><strong><span style="font-size: x-small;">I have decided to write this post of my own accord and have no affiliation with SoapMaker, other than using it to run my soap business.</span></strong></u><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">SoapMaker was created By Crawford Woodman as an aid for his wife, Diane’s, soap making business. She was very involved in the initial programme creation and always had the best soap with many repeat clients.</span> <br />
<strong><span style="font-size: x-small;">Where about in the States are you? State is good enough. (boy am I on the wrong foot already I know you Americans and Canadians love getting mixed up!! – OOPS): </span></strong> <br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">We live in Canada, in Perth, Ontario. It's a small town with a heritage flavour - lots of lovely stone buildings built after the Rideau Canal was finished in the early 1800's.</span> <br />
<strong><span style="font-size: x-small;">If you don't know where it is, like me, Google it. Wow is it pretty. </span></strong> <br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>Do you have any children?</strong> </span> <br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">We have 3 - two daughters and a son. All are grown up and married. We have 4 grandchildren.</span> <br />
<strong><span style="font-size: x-small;">I see that Jason Bowles was/ is your programmer for SM. Does he still work on SM? If so is it a full time undertaking? </span></strong> <br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Jason was only involved in the early days. I wrote version 3 myself.</span> <br />
<strong><span style="font-size: x-small;">Version 3 is the latest update and it is AWESOME</span></strong> <br />
<strong><span style="font-size: x-small;">Do you have any programming background? What was/ is your profession before SM took over your life? </span></strong> <br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I worked for Nortel for 30 years, first as a programmer and then as a manager.</span> <br />
<strong><span style="font-size: x-small;">I also had to Google Nortel. Nortel was a multinational telecommunications and data networking equipment manufacturer founded in Montreal, Quebec in .</span></strong> <br />
<strong><span style="font-size: x-small;">Do you employ other people to work on SM? </span></strong> <br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Nope - just me.</span> <br />
<strong><span style="font-size: x-small;">If you started SM from scratch what would you change or do differently? If anything? </span></strong> <br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I would use a platform that could easily be ported to different operating systems like Macs and Android. But I'm stuck with Windows. There are over 100,000 lines of code and it would take a complete re-write to do that now.</span> <br />
<strong><span style="font-size: x-small;">Is there a vision for SM? I.e. is there some sort of plan or does it just grow depending on what users ask for and what is feasible? </span></strong> <br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I'm 73 and don't really have the energy for major adventures anymore. But I enjoy hearing from users and trying to make the program as useful as possible. Our son is studying computer programming - maybe he'll want to undertake some major changes. </span> <br />
<strong><span style="font-size: x-small;">How do you decide what feature makes it into an update? I.e. Do you have to have a minimum no of people ask for it? </span></strong> <br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I don't really have a set algorithm. I guess it's a combination of how many people ask for a feature and how feasible it is to build it within the overall structure of the user interface and the database. And often if I notice something that seems a bit awkward while I'm testing, I'll decide to change it.</span> <br />
<strong><span style="font-size: x-small;">Does your wife have any input about new features and how useful they will be? </span></strong> <br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Diane used to. In fact SoapMaker was originally created for her soap-making business. But she retired from soap-making a few years ago so now she hasn't kept up with the program. But she's supportive - doesn't complain when I spend hundreds of hours on a new update.</span> <br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Do you know how many users you have? You can see a list of some of them </span><a href="https://www.soapmaker.ca/links.php" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: x-small;">here</span></a> <br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I have almost 8000 registered SM3 users, and one of my resellers sells CDs which do not always get registered so there could be more. I don't know how many are still active -it seems people get into the business for a few years but then drop out later. There are also still people with the old version 2 SoapMaker - I still get the occasional upgrade purchase.</span> <br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">For all you die hard SoapMaker users there is a </span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/SM3Support/?ref=group_browse_new" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Facebook group</span></a><span style="font-size: x-small;"> that is a great help if you are stuck. My advice, though, is to use the programme as much as possible to get the most benefit from it . This programme will save you so much time – I could not survive without it. </span> <br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Thanks Crawford, you and SM rock. </span> <br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">When I replied that we do not take credit cards but can do a PayPal payment she placed her order. Not on the website like most people but typed it out which must have taken ages as it was a large order.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Her address is below for all to see.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Once I had received the order I did a Google search on her name and address. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Turns out she has been doing the rounds. So BEWARE!! I sent her a mail back saying I had done a search on her and was aware of her game. Funny that I haven’t heard back from her!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I read an article a while ago about some scammers but could not find the link to add to this post. I am sure if oyu search for scammers or soap scammers you will find information out there. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">A word of warning – if it seems like a really nice,order but something doesn't seem right. Question it. This is your business. Dont get fooled. </span><br />

I’m always asked how I get my colors so bright, and one part of that is using cosmetic micas in cold process soap (<em>and the other part is applying color theory to create beautiful color schemes that contrast and pop!</em>)</font> <p><font size="2">While mica itself is a natural product, cosmetic micas are coated with other colorants such as pigments and FD&C colorants. Check the INCI of your micas, and you’ll know what’s in there! The dual sided colorant particles are what create the shimmer and sheen of cosmetic micas. They are most commonly found in various cosmetics, such as lipstick, eye shadow, and blush.</font> <p><font size="2">Cosmetic micas are absolutely stunning in clear products, like melt and pour soap, because the light can refract off the mica particles. Unfortunately, micas lose most of their shimmer in cold process soap because soap is opaque in nature. (<em>There is still a slight sheen to cold process soap colored with mica.</em>) However, the range of colors achievable and the ease make using cosmetic micas to color cold process soap entirely worthwhile. <a href="http://www.modernsoapmaking.com/using-cosmetic-micas-in-cold-process-soap/">Read more…</a></font></p><div class="blogger-post-footer">Visit www.riverleasoap.com for all your soaping ingredients</div>Odettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11523914763175130690noreply@blogger.com0
