The winner of September's Giveaway is Beth of BPR Designs.  Congratulations Beth!

September's Soaps of the Month Giveaway!

I missed having a Giveaway last month because I was just too busy!  I am trying to get back into the swing of things with blogging.  I actually have lots of new things to talk about but just haven't' had the time to write.  Anyway on to September's Soaps of the Month Giveaway!

The Soaps of the Month for September are Carrot and Lavender Swirl.  Lavender is a rather traditional soap where Carrot soap might not be so traditional.

The Carrot Soap is one of my very favorite soaps.  It is  made with nourishing carrot juice, packed full of Vitamin A, oatmeal, lavender, frankincense, and carrot seed essential oils.  It is very moisturizing and makes a wonderful face soap.

Lavender Swirl is scented with everybody's favorite (or almost everybody) lavender essential oil and has a beautiful purple swirl.

Back to School

This month's EtsyBlogger's Blog Carnival is about back to school memories.  Yesterday my 16 year old son went back to public school for the first time since second grade.  I felt both anxious and melancholy all day.  I pulled my son out of public school at the end of second grade because he was having a great deal of difficulty learning to read and the school system really had no answers for his problem.  We home-schooled from 3rd grade until 8th and in 9th and 10th grades he did cyber school.  A mutual family decision was made that public high school would be the best for his last 2 years of school. 

I know my son was both nervous and excited when he left yesterday morning to go to school.  Fortunately I had a very busy day of work, otherwise I would have probably sat around worrying all day.  I sort of felt the same way a parent feels when they first send their kid to kindergarten.  When he finally got home in the afternoon I was relieved to hear he had a pretty good day.

July's Soaps of the Month Winner!

I'm a little bit late posting the winner for July's Giveaway, but better late than never!  The winner is Jenny B.  Congratulations Jenny!

I will be posting about about some exciting new changes at Sweet Sally's Soaps very soon.  I will also be listing a bunch of new products. 

July's Soaps of the Month Giveaway

Summer is such a busy time for me that I almost didn't have this month's Giveaway.  I sell my soaps at 3 farmer's markets a week all summer long plus craft shows and internet sales so my blogging time becomes very limited. 

July's Soaps of the Month are Mint Swirl and Green Tea. Since I have started this month;s give away so late the deadline for entering will be extended until August 6th. 

Mint Swirl is the perfect summer soap.  It is scented with peppermint and spearmint essential oils which leave your skin with a tingly cooling refreshing feeling and it also is quite beautiful! 

Mint Swirl

Green Tea  offers a more meditative scent and the amazing benefits of green tea.  It is made with brewed green tea and green tea extract and an abundance of grapeseed oil to make it super moisturizing.
