I made soap today!

Yay! I finally made soap today! I have been wanting to do this for quite some time now. I went to Gloria's and watched her make it, Ive watched tutorials on the internet and read everything I could so that I could be prepared. I was nervous about the Lye and thats what has kept me from trying this. But it really wasnt that bad. I survived! lol I really hope I did everything correctly and it turns out. After I get the soap out of the molds I have to cut them and let them cure for several weeks before I can use them which is going to KILL me lol.
This is the recipe I used:
"Canolive" Soap (Kathy Miller)
40 ounces Canola Oil
36 ounces Olive Oil
12 ounces Coconut Oil
24 ounces cold water
12 ounces lye crystals

Temperatures: between 90-100 degrees
