The New Year is almost here!

I've had to slack a bit on my blogs over the holiday season since that is the time of year I am busiest, but I will be back in the routine of things soon. The New Year is just around the corner and I've got lots of things planned for 2010. Starting with a trip to Vietnam in mid-January. This trip will be part business and part pleasure. As you all know each year I plan trips to discover and collect ingredients for my soaps. Asia will be the focus of this years trips, I am sure I will be inspired to create all kind of different exotic soaps.

I already have a few new soaps in development and I'm also working on an organic line. I will be unveiling all of my new creations some time in mid-March. So stay tuned for my Vietnam adventure and new soaps in the New Year. I will be blogging while on my trip with videos, photos and more.

I wish you all the happiest of New Year filled with joy, success and love!

PS. I heard from Sara Valor (the winner of my soap of the month free for a year giveaway) last night and she received her first soap yesterday. I'll be looking forward to hearing how she likes it.

Well it's been a whole month and a half of tweeting, facebooking, blogging, etc. and everyone has worked hard at trying to win that FREE YEAR OF SOAP!! The time is here and I have to say I'm not surprised at the winner as she has worked so hard and wanted that soap so bad that I think she lost sleep over it ;-)!

Sara Valor is the big winner of a whole year of soap. Congratulations Sara, you have certainly earned it. Your first soap will go out this week. So pamper yourself every day this year as more soap will always be on the way LOL!!

I want to thank everyone who participated.  This was really a lot of fun and there will be plenty more fun giveaways in the New Year so keep following and you might be the next winner!!

Win a free year of soap!! That's right soap at your doorstep every month for free!

Ok I know, I know I've been slacking on blogging. I've just been so busy getting ready for the season, making, wrapping, and packing soap that I'm exhausted at the end of each day and haven't been able to get myself motivated to blog. So I'm going to make it up to you all with a giveaway!! This isn't just any giveaway, this is a whole year of free soap from me.

Here's the deal, I have a soap of the month club on my website Soap Club. I have just recently started promoting it and have had several people sign up, but I really want to get the word out. It's a great gift idea since it is only $6.75 a month, which helps a lot if you don't have a lot of money to lay down at Christmas but still want to give a substantial gift. If you add the entire year up it comes to $81, but it's easy on the wallet at only $6.75 a month. That special some one will be remembering you all year long when a new delicious gourmet soap shows up in their mailbox each month.

Now not only is it great for gifts, it's great to treat yourself to something like this too. It's a nice inexpensive way to pamper yourself every month. Since I've had so many people comment on it I thought that I would have a giveaway to promote it. So I'm giving away one of my soap of the month club subscriptions.
