{tearful, humbled, grateful gal }

I love sharing my handmade eco friendly products with my customers.  I am so thankful that folks actually save up for a tank of gas (kind of funny, is it?) or do whatever needs to be done so they can come out and shop at the craft fairs that I attend.  Nothing makes me happier than receiving feedback from my customers.  Below is an email that just popped into my inbox from a customer that I just had a share with you, when I read it I was smiling ear to ear and bubbling with joy inside.

Hi Paula,

I purchased a bar of your Doggy Soap at the Celebration Pie Festival and just recently bathed both of my beagles with it. I have to tell you that it is the most wonderful bar of soap and it lathered up so quickly that I was amazed. The ribbed side that was on one side of the bar was great for massaging the dogs' backs and I heard a lot of "oohs and aah's" out of them, so I know they enjoyed it. Anyone who has ever bathed a dog, knows that time is of the essence, so it was a real delight to see the bar lather up so quickly and completely cover them in bubbly suds in no time.

Needless to say, now that they are both dry, they smell delicious and their fur is as soft as a cashmere sweater and of course, they are ready for their Easter portrait (see attached.)

Thanks again for making such an incredible product.

Best regards,

Nancy

Kissimmee, Florida

7 things about myself:

·         My love for creating things came from growing up with my Mom and my Aunt who were always crafting, sewing or making something handmade.

·         I am addicted to soap making.

·         I love vintage items and funky junk.

·         I am fairly certain that I have a mild case of OCD.  I do not like it AT ALL if things on my house . . . or in my car . . . or in my closest are not in perfect order. 

·         I have a very narrow signing range. I can only sing in three keys. Off. Off-Ful. and Absolutely Off-Ful. Whomever I sit behind at Church during singing at some point turns around and looks at me with that “you sing badly look”.

·         This is my very first, but hopefully not last, blogger award!

·         I am the oldest child of four siblings, two boys and two girls.

What else can a tearful, humbled, grateful gal say but THANK YOU!
