Why I Love SeeJayneKnitYarns

Why do I love SeeJayneKnitYarns? I do not knit, sew, crochet or anything similar. I once crocheted a straight line that was a mile long, and that's as far as I got. Humiliating.

SeeJayneKnitYarns is an Etsy SUPERSTAR for many reasons. First off, how cool is it to spin your own yarn?? That's so hot. Second, her sales are off the charts fantastic (2,043 items sold as of today, 7pm EST! )Her hard work has definitely paid off and she is an inspiration to anyone wanting to start up a small business. Third, she's a wonderful person, helpful, supportive, nice and funny. A few weeks ago when I hit my 1,000th sale, she started a a super nice "congratulations" thread for me in the forums! It was just so nice that someone wanted to support me like that! So many wonderful sellers helped me reach my 1,000th sale that night... it was a community party for me! Fourth, she's my customer, and my sugar scrub was the first one she's ever used! This is why I love Jayne.

If you had 3,000 soaps, what would be in your shower?

What does a designer wear? What jewels are dangling from the ears of a jewelry maker? What does a carpenter's kitchen table look like? Well, here are some awful photos of what is in a soapmaker's bathroom! And I did not take a pic of the little sliver of Mixed Berry I have left! It's way too slivery! Haha!

Seaweed Facial Soap

Tea Tree & Clay and Lemongrass Soaps

Mango Tangerine and Mocha Shower Souffles

So, they aren't the best pics in the world. I was wet, in a towel, taking photos in a steamy bathroom. But this is what's in my shower at the moment.

Etsy is #1

Well, #5 is just as good! :)

How to turn Flop Into Fabulous!

How cute, right? Well let me tell ya... not so easy to make! First off, I had to mess up one whole brick of soap! Haha! Not so much that I messed it up, I just wasn't happy with it. So, I let it cure nice and hard, then I shaved off swirls with a a zester. It only took me all day. When I was done I had a 45 ft high mountain of soap swirls. So, I used them to make hand soap too. I don't sell it, although I should, being that I now have a gallon of foaming hand soap! :) Anyway, the picture you see to the left is the end result of saving a hideous brick of soap. It's now a pretty, swirly, hot pink fruit soap!!

SUPPLIES!!!

I do not like ordering supplies. I'm not talking about the fun stuff like fragrances. I'm talking about the boring stuff like paper and labels. Blah.... ! I'm totally dozing off while putting labels in my shopping cart.

However... I did have quite the glow while I was ordering new ribbons and gift boxes! I must give a shout out to Nashville Wraps! What a gorgeous selection of everything! I really could have spent a fortune in there, but I was good. Except for the giant roll of white shiny paper I don't need. I figure it's useful for everything, and a different color bow will make it special. This is the best part about white paper!

Beautiful Charcoal Soap

I love this soap! It will be fully cured soon... I can't wait!

Sooo Lazy

Ya know, I'm normally never lazy. EVER. But today, I could just nap non-stop. I had originally set aside today for some soap room organization, house cleaning and laundry. However, 4 rooms away I can faintly here my bed calling my name. Geez, I wish I had a cold or something, that's a good excuse to lay down. Blatant laziness just isn't. I tried coffee, and that just made it worse. Sitting here typing is only keeping me awake, and not busy. So, I feel like at least if I lay down I'm getting something done. Maybe I should look at the Pottery Barn website. For some reason all those nice, clean rooms motivate me to do stuff.

Let The Games Begin!

Some lucky girl (or guy!) will soon be walking away with a MEGA HUGE basket of bath goodies from various Etsy Green and Clean Guild shops! If you'd like to play the game, read the rules and keep up to date in this thread CLICK ME

See ya, stinky pits!

OoohLaLa! We are so super excited about our new deodorants!!! Seriously, I did not have high hopes for them. I honestly thought it would be a flop. I was completely wrong, and pleasantly surprised! I've always been one to load up on the aluminum deodorants... heck, if I could have pumped the stuff into my veins with an I.V., I would have. Nothing (and I mean NOTHING) bothers me more than a stinky person. Gross! And I can smell B.O. a mile away. I'm a bloodhound. So, obviously hygiene has always been on the top of my priority list.

Anyway... I'm getting sidetracked. My point is, these deodorants ROCK, and you will not have stinky pits! You will sweat if you get hot, which is fine... your body needs to sweat! Sweat is not stinky. It's the yucky bacteria that stinks! But these deodorants turn the yucky bacteria into a simple salt, and VOILA! No B.O!

BIG Contest! Win a whole lotta bath goodies!

The Etsy Green and Clean Guild (EGCG) has been working hard (especially Domaly) to organize this great contest! 13 EGCG members have donated random goodies for the lucky winner!

How does it work? Look through the shops of the 13 EGCG participants to find the "Mystery Letters". Write down each letter you find. After you've found all of the letters (rumor has it there are more than 13 letters - some shops doubled up letters) unscramble the letters to reveal the word or phrase. The best part is, only Domaly knows the answer! We don't even know!

So, starting midnight tonight and ending on the 16th, start looking! Convo Domaly with your answer. Winner will be chosen randomly. You MUST have the correct word or phrase to qualify.
