Me too. I "glue" the old bars to the new bars so I don't waste a bit.
My yankee mother-in-law used to save all her old bits, cook them on her stove and make her own mixed bars in a cake pan. It took me a while to figure out what the glass jar of soap ends was doing in the bathroom. I finally got up the nerve to ask one day. Bet noone does that these days?
I make soap for a small business called Saipua (it now belongs to my daughter Sarah and her partner, Eric.) You can read all about that on the Saipua blog.
I have my own small business, Creekside Soaps, that makes equipment for soapmakers. (www.creeksidesoaps.com) I don't actually make the equipment...my husband does that. I pack, ship and do the bookkeeping.
So, I don't have a lot of free time, but when I do I like to do the things below. Not much interferes with my Mah Jongg game. I play once or twice each week.

Aren't the cobbler's children usually barefoot...or something like that?
That is so true, Katie!

Kristin,
Maybe folks will start to be more frugal in this spiraling economy.
Can't hurt....
