Super Duper Soapylove Signed Book Giveaway!


As the author, I received a certain number of books for personal use. I intended to offer signed copies for sale here on my blog, but it turns out that after I give copies to my family and mentors I hardly have any left. So instead of list just a couple for sale I am having a super duper giveaway for Soapylove fans!

I am putting together a mega Soapylove box. The lucky winner will get a:

signed copy of my new book with a personal message written inside
Soapylove t-shirt
Soapylove ice cream truck soap dish
Soapylove soap pop (brand new, not yet released design!)
coupon for a free issue of Let's Get Soapy
and some other fun goodies if I can scare some up!

All you need to do is leave a comment here. If you butter me up, that would be lovely! The winner will be chosen randomly and announced in one week - on September 22.

So don't delay - comment today! :)

As a newbie in the glycerin handcrafter business I definitely would love to start using your Soapylove books as The Bible of Glycerin Soap :)
I have started to work on layering and my friends and family love them as gifts...I'm hoping to graduate from Soapy Elementary and work my way up to Soapy University using your books!

The Pixie Shoppe said...

Hi Debbie, first let me say that I am soap newbie and yours is the first book that I purchased for my new porjects. Your book, SoapyLove (from barnes and noble) really was so helpful and easy to read. It was great and really helped my understand what to do, the graphics were great too!!! Thanks so much for writing it, great useful tool! I check on your blog daily to see if you give us any other amazing tips or tricks. For a newbie like me, I need all the help I can get.

Thanks again and God bless!

Marcy Divers said...

I know I am too late to even hope for a book....but I LOVE your site! I scour my library for books on soap making! I bartered with a lady for a few soap molds & supplies, and I am very excited to make soap (Someday soon!)
Do you ever come to Riverside to teach a class? That would be soooo awesome. You are so creative I am totally inspired. My husband built me two wooden soap molds ! (He`s so sweet, unemployed with time on his hands too LOL)
Anyway I am just in awe of your soap creations & hope to make some soon!
