Tutorials on soapmaking, bath fizzies, lotions and more
Today was a success (phew!). SoapQueen.TV is back for fall. We filmed 3 more episodes of Soap Queen TV today, laughed, snacked, soaped and laughed some more (I have the best crew). It's the first time debuting my short haircut on the show; I hope you like it ('cuz if you don't, it'll take a few … Continue Reading
I’ve been itching to try these One-Time-Use soap leaves for the longest time. I just whipped them up this morning. Really. Just made them. Super easy.

My Father recently sent me a random page he found on the 'net that amalgamated all the footprints I've left on the 'net for the last 13 years. Scrolling through the pages was a bit like going through an old closet - there were some bad choices made, some tacky things said and some dubious colorful … Continue Reading

It's another Bramble'versary - this time for someone not only near and dear to my heart, but someone also related to me by blood (my lil' brother!). I will admit to a little selfishness when choosing the dessert that I decided was 'Erik's favorite' dessert. We both loved Chocolate Covered Honeycomb … Continue Reading
As promised (on Facebook; what, you're not reading our Facebook fan page obsessively? Shame. Shame), my Hot Cocoa Soap recipe in all of its chocolaty goodness! I used an advanced technique called 'In the Pot Swirl'. Basically, you split up your batch into two different colors and pour 1 color into … Continue Reading
Though it feels like a mini-lifetime ago, this Labor Day weekend was a phenomenal 3 day extravaganza of friends and fun experiences. Every girl should be so lucky to have such a good friend as Ms. Breakfast Cookie herself, Erin Baker. Her sweet hubby had a birthday and they brought the birthday … Continue Reading
I had an awesome Monday. Well, that might be overstating the case since A. It's Tuesday and B. My email quit working mid-morning so I got to fight with Outlook for part of my day. Nothing says 'Boy, I feel productive!' like staring at your monitor for long periods of time. But overall, it ended up … Continue Reading
I love Fall in Bellingham, Washington. There's a nip in the air that screams hot cocoa, sweaters and snuggling. Red, orange and yellow leaves cover the ground for a breath-taking and a naturally artistic scene (Bellingham locals, you know what I'm talking about). I'm ready for pumpkins, spices and … Continue Reading

The new Kudos Molds are selling so fast. I can't believe I already had to place another order to get more. WOW! I wonder if it has anything to do with the Facebook Coupon Code (grin)? It only lasts until Monday so get the deal while you can. I also had a couple of emails from customers wanting to … Continue Reading
An interview with ... me (!) about opening a craft store. This interview was done for a small business advice book that (to the best of my knowledge) was never published. I didn't want it to languish in the archives forever so am dusting it off to share with you! What is the most important … Continue Reading
