New soap pictures

We’ve been busy around here playing with colors and summer scents!  I apologize for being a little slow in posting but hope I can be forgiven with a peek at what we’ve been up to!

Sage & Citrus May 2012

As you can see, I’m still playing with colors.  I love the natural colors that can be created based on the oils or fragrances I use but it’s great to see something interesting every once in a while.  This picture is of our Sage & Citrus colored batches.  The other batch has no added colors; we use our own garden grown sage in it instead.  Sage & Citrus seems to be a hit with both the guys and gals- a great option for the whole family!  It combines a light sage with lemon and lime notes for a fresh, clean, lasting scent.  This one is quickly moving up my personal summer scent favorites list and might even make it into our regular stock.

I will be off the blog and Facebook for the most part next week as I am volunteering at our local Cub Scout Day Camp from Monday thru Thursday.  I can be reached by text or email for those four days and will continue to ship orders in the late afternoons.  We are currently booking markets for the summer and fall so we hope to catch you guys while we are out there!  Please continue to email us your soapy ideas and we will feature a post later this summer with pictures of some of the best ones.  Enjoy yourselves out there everyone and I will see you late next week!

Happy Washing!

Where to find us update

Just two quick notes here between soap batches and cleaning up for the weekend.  First, we would like to let everybody know that we have launched our Facebook page after much feet dragging on my part.  And whining, complaining, and procrastinating, too!  What a great example for my kids, right?  I’m still learning how to really use it so please come check us out, like us, and laugh along with me as I figure it all out!  For those who have been so patient (and not so patient too!), thank you and I hope to see you around there in addition to the blog.

We will also be found at our local Family Fun Day on May 5th.  For CHA members, you can find some of our creations at the raffle table.  The kids had fun helping plan our donations and are excited to show off what they helped make.  They had a great time with the themes and colors.  We are not selling that day- just there for the fun and to donate some gift sets for the scholarship fund raffle.  Hope you enter and win!  I will post pictures of the raffle sets as we get closer for all to enjoy.

Back to the kitchen for me.  Enjoy your weekends, all!

Happy Washing!

Donna’s Market Giveaway

I know it is completely unheard of for me to post twice in one day and, luckily for posterity, it is actually on the record.  I almost knocked myself out of my chair.  OK, now that I’m done amazing us all, I’ll move on to the announcement.

In honor of Donna’s Neighborhood Market this weekend, we are doing a drawing for a free three bar gift bag.  To be eligible for the drawing, you have your choice of three options:  regular purchase/preorder sales with valid email provided, following our blog, or signing up for updates while you are Donna’s Market.  Although her market is only on Saturday, March 31st from 10am – 3pm, we are opening it up to everyone online and we see in person from March 30th at 9am until April 1, 2012, at 12pm.  The winner will be notified by email by midnight on April 2, 2012.  The winner may immediately redeem their prize from stock on hand or choose from upcoming releases.

If you will be in her area, come check out Donna’s Market around Cypress, TX.  It will be located at 18315 Kenmark Lane, Cypress, TX 77433.  You will find lots of great people, interesting items, and friendly smiles.  Although I won’t personally make it this time, I will have limited stock on hand along with our brochures & cards next to Jenny’s Pampered Chef display.  I hope to make Donna’s next Market Day though and look forward to seeing everyone then!

Happy Washing!
