Once upon a time long, long ago (or maybe a year or two ago) I came across soap making. I'm not sure how I got hooked now, but I can tell you how Mr. Soap Wish got hooked. Mr. Soap Wish, or Mr. as he was known then, is an artist by nature and he can make something from nothing. Very talented. I myself can also make something (a mess) from nothing. But I digress. The Mr. was attempting to be interested in my new interest of soap making until I showed him these.....
Once the Mr. saw what Soapylove could do with soap, he became Mr. Soap Wish right before my eyes. The beautifully clear colors, the contemporary designs, and the variety of techniques Debbie (aka Soapylove) is known for had us both hooked. Take a look at some of my old posts and you'll see Mr. Soap Wish's work. You'll see mine too, but that's another story.
The good news is Soaplove wrote a book and you can learn some of her techniques by reading her book and practicing her methods. But, here's the really, really good news...
I'm giving away a signed copy of Debbie's book!
But wait, there's more...once you have the book you'll want to get started creating soap...trust me, I know...so I'm including Soapylove supplies from Bramble Berry too! You'll be able to start creating the second you open the book! I'm including..
So let's recap, you'll get a signed copy of Debbie's book Soapylove, one pound each of Brambleberry Soapylove Bright White Melt and Pour Soap Base and Bramble Berry Soapylove Naturally Clear Melt and Pour Soap Base , one set of Bramble Berry Soapylove Candy-Jar-Fragrance-Set, and one set of Bramble Berry Soapylove Jewelry-Box-Soap-Colorants
Rules.....
-Leave a comment telling me whether or not you make soap now (leave a link if you have a site showcasing your soaps)
-One entry per person please
-Giveaway ends at 12:00PM Eastern Time Saturday, February 6. I will use random.org to randomly select one winner and the results will be posted by 12:30PM Saturday. Check back then to see if you're the lucky one!
Enjoy!

A departure from our usual soaps, this one is made with a goat's milk base and two great Bramble Berry scents; Turkish Mocha and Vanilla Select.
Here's the Bramble Berry description (and it is right on target) Turkish Mocha has a creamy top notes of milk, cardamom, cocoa and a touch of nutmeg. The alluring, complex blend winds down to heady scents of vanilla and honey run, and of course, Turkish Coffee.
We added Vanilla Select to the lighter toned soap which makes a fantastic scent bouquet!

BIG excitement here at casa Soap Wish, our interview with Anne-Marie (THE Soap Queen)is up on her blog, click here to read the interview. If you don't know Anne-Marie, she is the super successful CEO of Bramble Berry, Teach Soap, Otion Soap Shop, and Organic Fusion, but most important is that she is unbelievably supportive of beginning and established bath and beauty businesses. I am in awe of her energy level, I have no idea how she finds the time to encourage and mentor so many different people, of which we are two. Thank you!

Ooops! I'm a day behind in posting our soap design of the day. The other night I was inspired by our new watermelon fragrance (from Bramble Berry) and I made a watermelon soap in a small round mold. The next morning I went downstairs and saw what the man made.....
Needless to say this design is far superior to my whimsical littl goodies! I'll post my photos later today so you can compare.

SOAP DESIGN OF THE DAYToday's soap design is a little beauty the man came up with the other day. The design is somewhat reminiscent of ocean waves, but he wanted a more stylized effect. I think he hit the mark!
I mentioned in an earlier post that we just received an order of new fragrance oils from Bramble Berry, and in the order they included a free sample of Pomegranate and Black Currant. The man used that to scent this soap and let's just say I'm hooked. I love the scent, not too sweet and not too tart, just fresh and summery. I'm not very good at describing scents so I'll steal Bramble Berry's description:
Pomegranate and Black Currant: This fragrance is based on a delicious juice that is found at many health food stores. This blend has tart Pomegranate notes, enlivened by citrus zest and intertwined with juicy Black Currant notes with just some light hints of soft florals and leafy greens to give the fragrance depth. It is a surprisingly sweet blend, almost as if the Pomegranates and Black Currants were sugared prior to blending.
It smells fantastic, my unscientific testing found that both men and women like the scent.
Check back tomorrow for another new soap design!
