Had to share since I'm sure many of you can relate. My family thinks, when it comes to soap, that I'm crazy. Familiar?

Most of my soaping is for wholesale customers (boutiques) and custom favors for weddings, bridal and baby showers, special events. My online Etsy shop is for fun, for me. I love the social interaction with customers.

Monday night, at around 1 AM, I had just turned off the light after a long day in my tiny kitchen (my workshop) to get out a big boutique order. I had forgotten to turn off my phone ringer and got a frantic email from a bride getting married this Saturday, 1,500 miles away from me.

Her note started, "I have a hail mary of a request. Would you be able ..." End of the note - she needed the custom bridesmaid soaps shipped by the next day to arrive by Thursday. She had ordered soap from another seller and they had arrived too damaged to use. This poor bride was unraveling and had found me on Etsy.

Too tired to think it through, and feeling really awful for her, I told her I could do it. I knew it meant I could only sleep for two or three hours and then had to start on her soaps since I had estimated the custom order would take 12 hours based on set-up time in the mold. And, I had to be at the post office no later than 4 PM to make sure they got out.

Happy to say soaps were finished and mailed on time. Fingers crossed that the heat doesn't kill them in transit.

Moral of the story - Love what you do and do what you love!

Connie

Good for you! I hope they arrive safe and sound.
