The Handmade Soap Blog

Do you Facebook?

I have had a Facebook account for quiet a while, but it wasn't until this year that I really figured it out and spent more time on it. Now of course I am hooked! I love communicating with my family, friends, and fellow crafters. I swear I learn something new each day!

I also recently set up a Fan Page for Pixie Soap over on Facebook. In order to name my url I needed to get 100 fans. So, what better way then to invite everyone and hold a raffle when I hit 100. And woot woot, I did!!

Here is a photo of all the lovely fans of mine all put in a bowl: (an awesome square bowl I purchased from Montezumamudd:

 

Mind you, I actually had to give away two bars of free soap because both children wanted to draw a name. :)

So, please feel free to become a fan. I am offering 10% off till 9/19 for all fans, go check details on my Facebook Fan Page.

March Madness Winner Is...........

Let me start by apologizing for taking so long to do this blogpost! I waited to hear from the winner than the week just got in my way.

So, let me start by saying thank you to everyone who took a bit of time to post on my blog for their chance to win. And those who purchased, tweeted, or blogged about it, Thank you!

You can see what I gave away on the post March Madness Giveaway, it was a great set if you ask me. :)

The lucky winner was Sharon, who blogs over at Sarcastic and Stressed. Congratulations Sharon!!

I put everyone's name on a spreadsheet, sliced it up and placed it into a bowl and drew it out the old fashioned way, by closing my eyes. I find it more fun that way than random generators online.

Thanks again to everyone who played. For those of you who have, please accept 20% off any order good through the end of April. Just place SOAP BLOG in notes to seller and I can send an adjusted invoice or reimburse.

Stay tuned for the next give away!!

You can grab these two and others over in her Halloween section over on Etsy, or check out some of the fabulous assortment of tags, something for every kind of gift!

She is also a fellow blogger so go check her out at Susan's Greetings! Pssst....I think she is currently having a give-a-way, I just came back here from entering!

Choose your winnings! What would you choose?

I couldn't give away a vacation to a tropical paradise, but it is much more enjoyable to pretend one is going there!

What soap would you choose if you could only take one on your tropical vacation? Would you take a clean unscented soap? Maybe a patchouli bar or a mint chocolate chunk bar from the essential oil section? Or are you a lover of cranberry orange or lilac from my fragrance oil section?

Please take a second to vote on the poll in the upper right corner of this blog and post a comment here of which soap you would like if you win!

I will randomly choose one winner from all entries on Tuesday September 30th. And you will win a bar of your choice!

One entry per person per DAY. So, if one day you find you are in a different mood, leave another comment, but no more than one a day for the entire contest please.
