OK… I might be overdoing it with the soapmaking information, but I just got off the phone with a guy who has a great soapmaking resource that I’ve been reviewing. I’m about half way through it, and so far the information has been excellent. And, he’s the guy I’ll be interviewing some time this weekend or on Monday evening. I’ll keep you posted when the interview is available (for free of course).

But first, I wanted to share some soapmaking resources with you. Since I’ve been researching the Internet for soapmaking information, I figured I might as well let you benefit from my research. So here’s my top 5 soapmaking sites offering free information:

• Soapmaking on Suite 101
• www.TeachSoap.com
• Candle and Soapmaking at About.com
• eAudrey’s Luxuriant Soap and Homemaking
• Anne’s Soapmaking Page

So, if you’re interested in soapmaking, this is a great list of sites to start with. And, I’m working on my soapmaking buddy to see if we can get a deal on his product. Like I said, I think it’s great, and would love to see it in the hands of some of the craft business list. I think soapmaking is a great craft business idea, or an addition to an existing craft business.

Happy Crafting!

Over the past few weeks, I’ve become obsessed with making soap. There are just so many creative things you can do with soaps – from the design, to the colors, to the shapes, and the scents – that soapmaking seems like such a great craft to get involved in. And, I can tell you that handmade soaps are a VERY hot item at any craft fair. They are extremely marketable – beautiful, fun, inexpensive (but you can get a good profit), and they appeal to all the senses (especially smell).

I found a great general article on Wikipedia about soap. There’s a lot of good information, and some links for further study. It’s definitely worth checking out if you’re interested in soapmaking.

And, since I’ve been doing my research, I’ve discovered a soapmaking guru who I’m going to be interviewing in a couple of days (as soon as we can figure out the best time). I’m not going to be doing the teleseminar thing again… I don’t think we’re going to be able to coordinate our schedules and make a time that a lot of other people will enjoy (looks like either early in the morning or very late at night is the quickest way for us to talk). But that means we’ll be able to record our Q&A session and have it up on the web so you can listen at your leisure.

Watch your email for a notification about the soapmaking Q&A. Should be some time early next week, but if you have some questions about soapmaking, then use the Contact Form to send it in to me. I’ll be talking with my soapmaking guru some time this weekend, so I should have the Q&A up next week.

Happy Crafting!

Just so you don’t think I’m all work and no play, here’s a web page where you can find some great Halloween crafts and activities. It’s that time of year, and kids love Halloween almost as much as birthday’s and Christmas (or Hanukah).

The picture to the right is a Big Papi (David Ortiz) jack-o-lantern. The Boston Red Sox are trying to come back against the Cleveland Indians to make it to the World Series. This Big Papi pumpkin makes me believe they can win the next two in Fenway.

Go Sox!

Happy Crafting!
