Exciting Class Announcement and Secret Project Revealed!

I'm very excited to announce that my 2 Day Boot Camp, being held at The (fabulous!) Nova Studio, is now being offered "a la carte." Take one or both days! Plus we have decided to reveal the secret bonus project which will be (drum roll) the filled creamsicle soap pop pictured above. I have never taught this style before and I will only be doing so for this class!

Check out the 8 awesome projects that will be covered at the Boot Camp, taking place on April 16 and 17 in beautiful Point Richmond, just east of San Francisco.  If you're not in the area, this would make an excellent weekend getaway.  I even made a little video during one of my trips there to teach. 

For more details, click here for all registration info and descriptions of each project.  It will be a grand time - and my only teaching engagement for the year.  I hope to see you there!

New Soapylove video and awesome giveaway!


A few weeks ago I was reading my favorite design blog - Design*Sponge - and watched an adorable stop motion video (check it out here).  I contacted the talented couple behind the video, called Tiger in a Jar, and we started a lovely collaboration on a Soapylove video to celebrate the addition of our new bath bombs and gift sets.  It is now done and ready to share with you!  I hope you like it!

They are sweetly giving away 2 gift sets, too.  Just head to their blog to enter and to see their other great videos.  I'm sure we'll all be seeing a lot more from these two!
