Soap Extravaganza

Today I have come together with several other awesome soapmaking bloggers to offer a Soap Extravaganza.  There will be 8 winners of these decadent, beautiful handmade soaps.  Perfect for nourishing your tired, dry winter skin.  This is one way to bring some brightness and sunshine to the dreary winter days. 

Marissa from A Homemaker's Journal crafts a wide variety of both hot and cold processed soaps.  Looking at the pictures of her soaps - they look good enough to eat, and must smell amazing too.  She sells her soaps at Lemonberry And Lime if you'd like to check out her store.

Up for grabs from her shop are a Gingersnap Crumble Goats Milk hot process soap and a So Soapy Clean artisan soap:

In addition, she is giving away another soap duo - Spiced Pumpkin Goat's Milk Cold Process Soap and a Milk Oats and Honey Artisan Soap:

Next up is Nancy, from A Rural Journal.  Nancy has sent me some of her soaps before, and I love that they aren't overly perfumed and have a marvelous lather to them.  My skin felt so smooth afterwards.  You can buy Nancy's soap in her Papio Creek Shop.  The first soap she is giving away is a Papio Creek Toasted Coconut Cold Processed Soap:

The second soap she is giving away is a Papio Creek Aromatic Anise cold processed soap:

Also participating is Teresa from Eden Hills Blog.  She has a farm with many animals, including lots of very cute goats.  Teresa crafts soaps from goat's milk, and you can visit her store at Eden Hills Market to find out more about her products.  She is giving away a Chocolate Chunk Goat Milk Soap:

And she is also giving away a Red Apple goat milk soap:

Two Bears Farm is also offering up two decorative homemade soaps.  You can check out the Two Bears Farm Etsy shop to see similar soaps.  First up is a shea butter glycerin peace dove soap, lightly scented with lemon verbena:

Also offered is a mother and child shea butter glycerin soap, lightly scented with lavender.  This would also be a wonderful gift for a new mother:

Millie Mouse

I just have to tell you how excited I am.  I've had a mouse named after me.  Really, I have.

Meet Millie Mouse.

This is one of the soaps my friend Pricilla's publicist makes.

Don't tell my human I'm sharing information about someone else's goat's milk soap, or she might not give me my grain tonight.  Really, all goat's milk soap is the best!

Winner Announced

Your attention please.  I can now maa to you the winner of my soap giveaway.

The winner is Miss Candy from Lazy J Bar C Farm.

I wish I could have sent everyone a bar of soap, but even if you didn't win, you can still order soap for Christmas at the human's market.

Cyber Monday Giveaway

The human wouldn't let me post last night.  Can you believe it.  She blames it on a headache from trimming hooves in the dusty barnyard.  I'm not buying it.

Anyhow, since she wouldn't let me post last night, I said she  has to let me host a giveaway.  It's been a very long time.  And it's Cyber Monday.  I told her I'd tell you all about her market where you can buy 2013 Eden Hills calendars, feather earrings and dreamcatchers and goats milk soap.  Click the picture below to visit the market.

I'm going to give two bars of soap to one lucky person (or animal~I don't discriminate).  All you have to do to win is leave a comment telling me you'd like to be a winner.  You do have to leave some way for me and my human to contact you: blog, facebook, e-mail, so that you can choose the kinds and give us an address.

I'll pick the winner Sunday night (enter by 8:00 pm. CST) and announce the winner next Monday, December 3.

Mail Call

I got my package from Pricilla in the mail today.

She sent me three bars of her wonderful goat milk soap! It smells so yummy, but the human wouldn't take it out of the package so I could eat it.

I suggested the human use it to scrub all the goose sludge out of the cattle tank, but she gave me the human stare of death when I suggested that.

Well, they are mine aren't they?

Thank you so much Pricilla and Publicist! You really should check out all her great soaps.
