Opportunity to Grow

I'm very excited to be attending the Central Soapers Workshop March 9 & 10!  This is going to be a fantastic event..  I feel so privileged to be able to attend and learn from some of the most talented soapmakers in the Midwest.  It's my own version of March Madness! 2013 Central Soapers Workshop

Check out these Beauties!

It's been a while, hasn't it?  Life is busy these days, what with wedding planning (my daughter Jordyn!) and family activities lately, I'm overdue for a post.   I've been learning to stamp my soap bars - and that sounds much easier than it is - at least for yours truly.   I spent some time yesterday playing with the stamps.  I think they've turned out pretty well for a virgin stamper!

Thank You!

It looks like I've got things up and running!  Not bad for a novice.  Special Thanks are due to my girls, who have encouraged me and helped be get this media ball rolling.     Thank You Jordyn, Emily and Mandy!  I definitely could not have done this without your help and love.  I have awesome children!
