I received the first of my two Givember orders this week

A new 4" silicone loaf mold and a 12 bar round silicone mold. Super excited to try out both.
My mom has offered me my first paid project for Christmas.
She wants to give her nieces (my cousins) some fun beach themed soap. I've been enjoying going over the details with her, showing her the supplies and scents and colors she can have in it, etc.
I've only done the MP for my own projects or wants so far so this is a nice change of pace.
It inspired me to place my 2nd Givember order which is
Finally supposed to ship out today. So I only have about a week to a week a half left to wait for all the new fun stuff since I'm on the east cost.
I can only imagine the number of orders they have to process thru from this Givember. It's probably great (bottom line -wise) but also overwhelming to the shipping dept.
I work in customer service for a large national company at a local sales office, so I know what it's like to feel the rush!
Anyways, hope you all have a great weekend and Happy Thanksgiving to the Americans out there!
