Success!

We just finished a very successful 2 day exhibition at the OCEAN Homeschool Conference in Portland. It was our first public show and I was very pleased with the response. It seems that people everywhere are interested in reviving the old-fashioned art of soap making and they're just looking for someone to get them started.

We had fun! It was great to see the children run past the toy booth that was across the aisle from ours to make a soap ball out of shredded soap. While the kids played we talked to the parents about our mission to spread the word about our soap classes. As an added bonus we handed out free mini samples of our soap with a $5.00 coupon for future purchases.

We did a surprise drawing for the winner of a 2 pound loaf of luxury Shea Butter soap. I was happy to award the first place prize to: Maria Mendoza from way out in Hermiston.

All in all it was a fun event! And, it was good to see some of you there!

As a result of the show, I'll be hosting a few more classes this fall. I'll keep you posted as to the new dates. Thank you!

The soap sales were tremendous!

I had great helpers! Thank you!
