[@carollingle159]

C Lingle I think God has given you that inspiration about the colors of soap being in our natural surroundings. No wonder you are "inspired" by his creation!

[@ellenloveeggleston3251]

Mary, I just love your purity. You love nature, and you did an unbelievably great job of capturing what your eyes saw on your hike. I have to say that some of that beautiful wildlife almost brought me to tears! I can't imagine how you felt seeing all of that beauty in person! Thank you for sharing with us! And I did love the peace of watching the soap making!

[@shellydehart8217]

You said this beautifully. My words exactly. ♥️😊👍

[@edithwanner1849]

Yes , I felt the same way! Our son- in-law is from Maine and when our daughter went to visit ( we live in Michigan) they climbed Katahdin and got engaged there ! 😂😍😍

[@heathermacleod7068]

I couldn’t have said it better myself! 🥰🤗

[@kmarch6630]

I don't think it's crazy at all that nature inspires your soaps. That shows how creative you are.

[@lilymorales5922]

Mary, nature inspires! Nature is beautiful! It’s relaxing! Nature is art!! I love art & nature inspires me to paint. I want to paint everything I see, so I get you. Those soaps look amazing & beautiful!!

[@dm6623]

You teach people how to live…each day is a gift. Thank you

[@lorettadeppe8202]

Mary, I didn't think your videos could get any better. I just love this video so much. I am from the White Mountains of NH. I have lived here for 36 years and am still in amazement of the beauty and wildlife. I found you a couple of months ago and you have inspired me more than I can describe. Thank you so much for your wonderful videos which are not only educational but so calming.

[@candijones9074]

Well done! Mary, your attention to detail is unmatched! The Lord has given you great talent.

[@janetbyrne7765]

Wow Mary! This is the most beautiful video. Your editing and the music is spot on and the whole effect is inspiring me to make soaps. I just moved to Maine and right now it’s really cold, but it is beautiful in every season. I’m not surprised you were inspired by the colors of Maine. Thank you for inspiring a faithful viewer!

[@forrestgump9576]

I felt the same way! And, I was blessed to get soap making supplies for Christmas!

[@SwissSandie]

I am so happy I found your channel. After watching a couple videos I was hooked. I've been binge watching your channel for a week. So much inspiration. I've got a notebook and writing projects I need to do. I have learned so much from you and I'm 73! 😅 Looking forward to lots more. Have a blessed week.

[@Jasmine-hh3kt]

That was such a beautiful video to watch. I love all that you used all natural ingredients. Soap making is on my list of things to learn this year. Your hikes out in nature look amazing. I love seeing different parts of the world - it’s amazing how different creation is around the world. Thank you for another great video!

Love the colors and combinations of scents you added. Glad you made it to Maine to see the beauty it offers. I live approximately 2 hours away from Millinocket in Winterport, Maine.

[@jovicrazed]

Making soap is such a relaxing process. I haven't made any in years but really did enjoy it. And, double salted Dutch black licorice is delicious.

[@furmisl203]

This was so much fun watching. Very nice!

[@theresacucinotti4679]

As a Mainer and a lover of Mt Katahdin I appreciate the soaps as well as your eye for capturing our beautiful mountain colors in your soaps!

[@wendywatson6034]

Mary, my sister & I just love watching your videos. We watch them all & learn so much. Loved today's soap video. I rushed to your etsy shop & was able to order some of your soap, before it quickly sold out.Can't wait to try it. Thank you for sharing with us all.

[@gailrhodes2859]

The soap looks so amazing!!!

[@timberelburke]

Good morning Mary. Can’t wait to see what you are up to this morning. Love watching you create.

[@KathyHutto]

Mary, you captured the colors of nature! I bet the soap smells amazing! The pictures from your hike were breathtaking!

[@Traditional_Soaping]

Your video is really impressive. The harmony of nature and handmade soap you show is really beautiful. The colors that nature gives are natural and have a subtle charm. Just like you! (The final packaging is also really beautiful!!!)

[@rinajacobs9892]

Very nice idea and so basic. Great!

[@victoriastarr865]

I love these soap videos! I love your idea to take things that inspired you and turn them into products for others to enjoy also.

[@medinasod2013]

Love watching your videos. Your beautiful soul ❤️

[@debrazawlocki3975]

Your soaps are wonderful!

[@garymcdade4446]

Sheila McDade in Chattanooga here . . . Thanks for sharing your hiking trip! Your long braid was so pretty. You and your husband must really be in good shape to hike on such a rocky mountain. Do you still walk every afternoon down your lane at home? It takes discipline to get out there daily in the winter!

[@gloriajohnson3161]

I love watching all your videos, Mary. But, now I know the #1 reason I like you so much---LOVE black licorice! hahaha

[@lindagarner781]

The soaps look wonderful & I will have to order some! I love the colors!!!

[@beckynelson6963]

Loved this inspirational video.

[@aburk8417]

How fun!!! Makes me want to make some soap from our vacations now ♥️

[@c.h.9193]

Sorry this one is so long... Dear Mary, I am so grateful I found your KZbin channel. It brings me such joy. I find I can hardly wait to view another one of your episodes, each day. Working my way through them all. Your Christian attitude, outlook on life, creativity, and sweet smile draws me in. And your gift of filling your home and life with scripture thrills me. I very much love the two little Cottages you have created. So tastefully done, inside and out. You have such a good eye for detail. They have inspired me to send to you this message. I have an odd suggestion for you. In Colorado, there is a small Stone Chapel, up a steep incline, 4 wheel drive accessible. It is so very popular…It is difficult to reserve for all the Weddings that wish to be there. Even though access is a challenge. So, I suggest, you build a small, intimate Chapel. Simple, White, Nondenominational, Lovely as only you could do. I believe, you too will have no trouble renting it for Weddings! Then there is always your Cottage for the Honeymoon:) A wee side note…I have always had the desire to build a small Chapel. But now, at 73, the time nor the means are available to me. So I pass my dream on to you. Something I’ve never done before. I find you are just that special! God Bless You, Cathleen

[@dianeboileau2026]

I totally get that you wanted your soap to look like nature and it does! What a beautiful hike you went on, so lucky! My friend and I are in our 70's and while we don't do climbing hikes we do go to a lot of nature trails that might have gentle climbs on them. We love seeing nature and the beautiful colors! We live in the southwest of British Columbia, Canada and we are blessed with so many wonderful trails to explore! You did a wonderful job of matching your soap to the different elements. I wish I could smell them all! Thank you for sharing Mary!

[@susanhaddan4633]

I would love to smell each of them! They look so natural - I think it's cool that you get your ideas from nature. God's best!!

[@sandragutierrez3667]

I'm glad nature inspired you. I would love to try some of those soaps. The smell you are talking about interest me. I, however, love the smells of clean linen, and ocean. I'm glad when you do let us know about the new soaps you create and that you are going to be selling. Keep it up! Plus, I enjoy listening to your voice it's very calming.

[@TNBrandt]

So awesome how you let the beauty of nature inspire your soap making! Love your videos!

[@pattidavis8043]

Nature is always inspirational. The colors of your soap turned out beautiful and I can see why you enjoy making it. Really nice video also, so soothing, thanks for sharing.

[@MorgsRB]

Such a neat idea!
