GRAND RE-OPENING OF MY ETSY STORE TODAY!
Yes, finally :-) I woke up much earlier than I expected today (I'll probably be super tired this afternoon LOL) so I thought "it's time"! I'm spending a few hours this morning tweaking my Etsy listings that I have in draft mode and adding in the details for each soap.
Also, this morning I have a couple new soaps that I plan on making.... I have all of the details for each one put on paper.... the fun part is actually seeing how the soap actually performs and if I can accomplish what I'm aiming for...

Grand RE-Opening in February?? LOL!!
Well, I tried to be ready for the re-opening of my Etsy store in January but things just didn't work out too well. Now, the soaps worked out just fine.... I probably have 50 different soaps ready to list and sale :-) I just ran out of time working on the listings and promotion :-(
But, February should work out well and I'll be able to get everything back up and running. I'm really excited because tonight I've drafted 30 listings! Yeah!! I have some very pretty soaps that I've been working on and I can't wait to show them to everyone. Here's a sneak peek at some of the soaps:

Good Morning! It's Wednesday ;-)
And I'm up bright and early this morning (alarm went off at 3 AM)! I was hoping to have all of the packaging and shipping finished up yesterday from the sale that lasted through Sunday.... but, it's going to take another day! Whew!
When I combine shipment on orders placed through a sale, I hold the orders until the sale is done with, and then all the orders placed by the same person are combined into one shipment :-) This saves my customers a good deal of money on postage! I actually refunded one customer over $8 yesterday for excess postage. So it helps out a lot in saving some $$. But, I get a little bottlenecked the day after the sale LOL
The sale was amazing and I was able to sell SO MUCH soap :-) Now I have some room on my soap shelves so I can make some more. I was actually running out of room! Also, I have a little money (not much after buying more boxes, tissue and bubble wrap though) for some new supplies.
Some of the soaps that I listed for sale were made back in November & December so they had really cured out quite nicely. Cold process soap is a little different - the older it gets, the more it cures and dries out - the better it becomes! The bars are harder and last much longer too.
So, I'm back at it this morning packaging up more soaps to ship out today. Also, I have to check with Stamps.com early this morning because I'm having a little trouble when I take my packages to the post office. The post office wants "flat rate" printed on the postage labels for the flat rate boxes and Stamps.com isn't doing it.... So, for the orders I pack up today, I may have to just use USPS.com instead.
OH, to end this blog post on a really good note.... the soap cakes have been drying and are now hard enough to ship!! That means that I'll be getting them listed very soon! Here's a sneak peek:

Welcome to 2011 - Etsy Store Re-opening Today :-)
It seems so weird to say 2011... but it's here! Christmas and New Years have passed and it's time to get back to works, schedules and TIME to open my Etsy soap shoppe :-)
As you can tell (if your subscribed to my YouTube Channel), I've been quite busy in the soap making department over the last couple of weeks. In addition to the soaps that I still have in inventory from December, I will also be listing lots of new soaps that I've recently made.
So check out my Etsy store today and get a look at all the regular line of soaps as well as the new soaps, some of which are limited editions.
