Great resource
As usual Sunshine Cobb does not disappoint. I am grateful for any resources and information she is willing to share. Her information is an everyday resource and easily understood. I like that she does not waste tedious time and space explaining in detail all she knows about chemistry, all her knowledge in years of study and practice. Of course, we all know and recognize her level of education and experience. This cannot be written into a book. I value the fact that she does not try. Instead, she gives us concise and practical applications anyone might find valuable. Her patterns are skillfully shared. I really admire her lack of ego and humble nature. Thanks for being you Sunshhine.

Favourite item - mint candle holder seen in photo - just love the structure and colour = beautiful. Great job.
