I just came across a Twitter site called Etsy Giveaways. This made me remember a few years back, I offered a free sample soap with an order. We were gone over the weekend and Monday when I checked my mail I had over a thousand emails asking for the free sample. Not one order. I could not afford to send all of those samples and also pay postage. I knew that most if not all were not at all interested in my soaps, just the “freeby”.
Just in case there were maybe a potential customer in all that bunch, I sent each one an email. I let them know I would be glad to send a sample if they placed an order. No orders came in, but I sure got several nasty replies.
At first I did not understand how all of these people found my website. It was several sites like this ‘Etsy Giveaways”. So be careful about your use of the words, “free” and giveaway”. Most people who ask for giveaways are only interested in what is free.
I think some people would grab a dirty diaper if you said it was FREE.
Happy Soaping.

Starting today we have some major happenings in our lives. Today my husband goes for post opt and to find out if he has glaucoma in one eye. Then Thursday he has a cataract removed. In the last two months he has had to use a magnifying glass to read.
Then next Thursday, I have a cataract removed. I am worried. After all, its our eyes, we are talking about. I am sure we are in for a few sleepless nights until it is all over with.
Still looking for Soap makers to spotlight. Email me if you know of a good one or even yourself. Be sure to bookmark this site. Why? Because it is really very interesting.
Happy Soaping,

What Can Be Done To Improve in 2010

Have you heard of DaWanda? It is amazing what you find while snooping on the web. This is a site that you can list any unique items you make. Instead of the items being primarily from the USofA they are from around the world.
It helps us all to learn the styles and techniques of others and especially from other areas of the world. You may get a great idea and start a new trend in the USofA. Soaps featured on DaWanda will be shown on this site from time to time as I find them fasinating.
The soap is rolled and cut, has a refreshing scent and comes in its own handmade canvas bag. The approximate weight of each bar is 95 grams. Dragon Soaps – Prague, Czech Republic
Tutti Fruity – A wild mixture of sweet and succulent fruit soap in pieces – Renas –Naturals – Berlin Germany
A lovely lavender scented soap. Decorated with purple flowers. – AdavanIwaarden – barneveld,Netherlands
Soap Cake – Ginger Souffle Vanilla – Silver and Soap – Hamburg,Germany

Happy Soap Making,
