A Year in Review

2012 has been a fantastic year for me and my soap business! I thought I would end out 2012 by focusing on all of the positives of the year.

HUGE Achievements for me this year include:

• I attended my first craft show in August, which kicked off a great fall/winter craft show season!
• I was asked to be a part of Bramble Berry's Fall/Winter S.O.A.P. team, and my youtube videos were featured on the results page!
• I sold over 180 items in my Etsy shop!
• I had my first International sale!
• My facebook fan page currently boasts over 600 fans!

And in my Etsy shop:

• I debuted lip balm in tubes, and now boast 23 different flavors, with three new ones coming in January!
• My bath bombs debuted in July, and have become my biggest sellers on both Etsy and at craft shows!
• My hot process soaps debuted over the summer, opening up a world of new fragrances and dyes that are unstable in cold process soaps.
• Wax tarts made their debut in September.
• The Soap of the Month Club and the Bath Bomb of the Month Club debuted in November!

I was also featured in three blogs this year:

• The Married Life Blog
• Pearls and Mason Jars
• My Blog Finally Made It

I am sure that there is more that I am forgetting, but just looking at the list above, my business has improved by leaps and bounds this year! I am so proud and humbled and completely happy with the progress that my shop has made, and I cannot wait to see what 2013 has in store for me! Check back next week when I preview a little of what I am planning for the coming year!

Celebrations!

Wow, my soap shop venture is really taking off!

On facebook, my fan page has recently topped over 200 fans!

At my Etsy shop, I'm up to 59 sales, each month being better than the one before!

I'm starting to branch out, opening shops at Zibbet and preparing to open one at TheCraftStar. I've also started accepting Direct Checkout through my Etsy shop, so now you can buy without using PayPal.

Things are going fantastic! Loving all of the love!
