Hi All,
I am happy to announce that I have finally moved all my blog information over to blogger. What does that mean?
It means I would like you to please visit the new blog at
and subscribe by email, so you will stay up to date with any new postings (that is if you want to read my blog posts). Otherwise please at least bookmark the new blog and visit it occassionally or if you have questions.
I moved to blogger for several reasons. The biggest reason is that blogger is easier for me to use. I don’t have to deal with lots of html coding like I do with this site. That means I can put more information on the site because I know how to do it! That is good.
Also I have set up a milksuds yahoo group that you can participate in if you choose. It is only available to individuals who have purchased the video or the soon to be released e-book. This is to keep the numbers manageable. I thought it would be cool for many of you who are starting and running new soap businesses to be able to communicate together and get each other’s input in addition to my own.
Please subscribe at the group home page:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/milksuds
If you have any other questions, please post a comment on my new blog:
Thanks!!!

I don’t really consider myself a procrastinator….only a person who sometimes takes on too many things. I am my happiest when I am busy so taking on many things is a joy to me. The only problem is that sometimes completion can take a long time. And thus is the story on the well intentioned soap making ebook.
I spent a lot of time in December working on this project because I felt I really needed to get it completed before I embarked on another project. I have recenlty been asked to write a few chapters for another book as well, so I really can’t dilly around any longer. But…..I have to say another part of my lollygagging was the fact that I didn’t really think this book was needed. Boy am I wrong. I spent an hour on the phone yesterday with one of my soap dvd purchasers trying to help her navigate through the world of colorants.
So now I am more convinced than ever that soap makers are a creative lot, but they are also smart and would appreciate a short cut to getting a successful business up and running. This one particular soap maker called me when she encountered another failed batch of soap (out of many in a row). The recipe was awesome, but the color was hideous. So she felt as though she couldn’t sell it and make money….thus more wasted money on trial and error. So far she has invested about $1000 and would like to start recouping that investment and make real money.
So with new determination, I am working on finishing up the ebook that gives you an outline on how to shortcut setting up a profitable business. This book is a guide and you can certainly use your own creativity, but when you know for sure you would like to have a profitable business, following my suggestions will at least get you going with sellable products. Then use your creativity for extra soaps or seasonal soaps. So watch for a nearing completion date and special introductory pricing.
Enjoy your day!
