Drowning in Paperwork...

As some of you will no doubt know, us soapers have mountains of paperwork to complete each time we think up a new handmade cosmetic recipie or indeed, just make a batch of bathing products. With the fast approaching shop opening I thought it would be a good idea to streamline my operations a bit. Which I have done! But the changeover is immense. Instead of a traditional Product Information File with a one line entry for each item I make, I'm making a seperate PIF for each recipe. It might sound a longer way round to do things (it certainly is to set up) but once in place it will save so much time. It's just getting it done... 6 down, 200+ to do. *sigh*

Amongst all of this I have products to make, not least my Bath Truffles. I never anticipated them being so popular but I'm pleased they are cos they are just so darned gorgeous :) Best seller of the lot? Flower Power Bath Truffle. Pretty and divinely scented! (pictured). Close second is the Pink Bling Bath Truffle which isn't surprising, it's a glitter-ball of loveliness! They are absolutely flying out of or wholesale site, www.wholesale.thesoapycauldron.co.uk

Right, enough wittering from me, the bicarb is calling me...

Flower Power Bath Truffles

Busy Busy Busy as always! Kids, house, soap... Just taking a few moments to centre myself so I thought I'd write a new entry :)

Well, plans for the shop are moving on, the original one was one problem after another so I decided to bail before it got too far down the line. I've found a new one, smaller but of course, cheaper! If I have my way we'll be in a bigger place in a year! New staff too, so lots of training and new stuff for me to learn as well. Sometimes I think I need 1,000 arms like the great goddess Kali. Though maybe not as bloodthirsty.

The Wholesale site is going from strength to strength, and considering it's only been going 5 months it's showing great promise. I've recently uploaded the Bath Truffles and boy are they a hit! I'm trying to slot in some time to make new varieties, but as always, it's proving a challenge. www.wholesale.thesoapycauldron.co.uk

Well, that's my tea drank and toast eaten, back to it!

Have a great weekend everyone xx
