Last Day!!! Just a friendly reminder!!
I am SO happy to report my mom is doing very well these days. She is by no means well, and may never be again but she is up and about (with a walker) and even cooked for herself yesterday! This may seem like a small thing but it is NOT. It is great!!! So...I am getting back to work. All wholesale orders will be out this next week - nothing short of a miracle! And I am ready and able to take retail orders as well...in fact I would LOVE to!!! AND...to kick of my "back to work" and also "back to school" for those going back this month...a FREE shipping special for all orders $20 and up.
There are some new soap scents...and new lip flavors so check them out. Also, the kitchen pages are up. Granola, teas, coffee, aprons and gourmet popcorn!
Thanks so much for your patience and support. And I know you all understand how family must come first.
It's good to be back to work!

Glad to see you are up and running again, and your mom has shown some improvement, you have had a lot going on these last months.
I can't remember if my 3 months is up on the coterie, could you look that up for me.

| Susan -- Any nutritional info available on the granola? I don't see salt listed as an ingredient (can't have extra salt). And I'm wondering about the fat grams. Sure looks yummy! |

it's just my homemade granola that so many asked for after I did a local Green Market - I no longer do the Green Market so they just go online and get it. It has no salt. I have never done nutritional info. I will see what I can do. I have a program on my computer that does it by recipe.

Yeah, Susan!! So glad to hear such good reports for your mom. Continued blessings of healing for her and yourself. Those are no mere small steps of progress, how good that must feel for your mom to be able to do things for herself again.
And I'm loving the soap that I ordered and the lip balm. Use it most everyday. So I'm glad to hear also that you are back up and running. Not ready for any replacements just yet, but know where to go when I am - without a question. Keep up the terrific work and I can't wait to see all the new things you have added - who says I only need replacement soap. ;o)
I hope you all are doing okay with the heat and anyone else who is under this huge heat bubble. Take care and God bless all that you are doing.
In His hands,
Lynda L.
Pray in faith and you will not live in doubt.

Susan, that's great news! I'm so glad your mom is that much better and can cook... and WILL use a walker! Wonderful. "What doesn't kill us makes us stronger" is a great line, and absolutely true.
Bless you,
Ann

Oh, I'm glad you got it! Did you see my question about the bath salts and laundry powder? I'm lost without those bath salts. Please tell me you have some available. In fact, you've got to let me do a testimonial for you on those bath salts some time. They are the absolute best EVER! And I do mean, EVER!

Well I am actually adding them back this weekend. You know I am just working my tail off to keep stocked and you all are so generous with me! Please write something up and send it to me at my new email address thesoapmaven@gmail.com and I will add it to the page. You should still be able to get the free shipping if you order this weekend! I dont know about the laundry powder. I have had a hard time with my formulation - I dont know what is different unless the ingredients I am buying are different. But until I am 100% happy with it...it wont be on the website. I hope you understand. Also...make me some suggetions if you can think that far ahead on what you would like to see for the holidays...I know it is early but I have to start thinking of it NOW!!!

Hi Susan, Still looking for the bath salts. Were you guys able to add them this weekend? I still can't find them on your website. If not, will you email me when you do. Thanks!

Susan, I couldn't figure out how to add a message onto the paypal dealie....so, here goes. I would like the French Lavender and Old Man Winter...I have extra dry, sensitive skin.
Oh, I better make sure...You don't use propylene glycol do you?? I think I have tracked down the stuff I am allergic to and that's a big one. I was trying to clear up my hives and itchy rash by using unscented dove, yeah, it's full of propylene glycol! And it is the soap the dr.s all prescribe! So, now I am just using Ivory, but I can't wait to get my order!!!
Thanks for everything.

none of that stuff!!! I am not sure what it is even. The ingredients are all "occuring in nature"!! Do note that the Old Man Winter contains lanolin...so if you have a wool allergy it would be a no-no. Got your payment...packing it tomorrow and then out the door! Thanks so much!!

Susan~ I wasn't sure what it was either, but I bought a book about ingredients and what they do....I guess propylene glycol is antifreeze!!!
Lanolin is not a problem for me.
Can't wait to use "real" soap. I am certain that once I use the true stuff I will never go back to Ivory again...
Thanks again.
Kate
ps..can you recommend a good book about soap making?

Kate- you are going to love,love,love Susan's soaps!!! I bought some to give as gifts (and some for me) and now wish that I were the selfish kind and kept it all for myself! hee hee. They smell so wonderful and fresh and make your skin feel totally "fabu" ( My kids hate that word, so I use it as often as I can!! 
Next batch I order goes right in the airing closet as my secret stash.
Susan- I am so glad to hear your mom is doing better. She is very lucky to have such a wonderful daughter!

Katiedid please email me - I think I over charged you!! If you like I will refund right away or put product in to make up the difference. I was looking over your order getting it ready to send and realized it!!! Sooo Sorry!!! I hated to do this on the forum (now EVERYONE knows!) tried to email you but it was returned undelivered. Let me know and either way I am getting it right out to you!

Gotta tell y'all. Susan's soaps are the best! I can't live without the soap bars and the bath salts! For those who are just trying them...oh my gosh! You are going to love it. For any one who is just thinking about trying them...do yourself a favor. You'll never buy grocery store soap again. The "FarmGirl Clean" is my all-time favorite scent. (Wish you could figure out how to make some perfume with that, Susan.) Just had to share!

Rebekah,
Me too!!! FarmGirl Clean is the best. I love it. I have to confess that I bought some for my friends, but I kept it. So - I guess I'd better order more. The lip balm is wonderful too. I agree about perfume. I was thinking about FarmGirl Clean body lotion.
