BLOG SLACKER!!!

Wow.... was March really my last post?? Was my son really still 16 years old the last time I posted? Well, now that summer has finally started to wind down, I'll have more time to blow on the internet. No more slacking for me!

Black Soap??

Black you say? How could black soap possibly get you clean, let alone REALLY clean? Charcoal! Charcoal may possibly be the best ingredient I've found lately. Not is it all natural, makes a great deodorizer... it makes a beautiful soap! Amazingly, the bubbles are still white! I'm in love with my new charcoal soap!

Why I Love SoCalledMommy

SoCalledMommy makes most of the cards I buy on Etsy. She creates other things like Decorated Wooden Letters, but what I'm really interested in is the cards! They are stunning, cute, fun, and you can just tell how much work goes into each card. Everything is beautiful. So beautiful in fact, I completely trust her judgement when I order in 'bulk'. I give her just a little bit of info about why I need them, then VOILA! A few days later I have a beautiful stack of perfect cards at my door! She also offers a 15% discount on 20 or more cards... which is totally awesome and really came in handy when I ordered all my Christmas cards from her! This is why I love SoCalledMommy.

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.
