"Best Place to
Clean Up"
AZ Soap and Candlemaker's
Gathering
A big THANK YOU Shout Out to Kathy
Monkman, our nominator!
Here's what Kathy had to say about
last year's
Arizona Gathering:
"For a soap or candle handcrafter
in Arizona, this event is like Christmas morning. Organized
by a local group of soap makers, the daylong event is the place
to network your small business, learn a new skill or purchase
supplies.
But we'll admit it: The best part
is the free goodies.
For a $55 entrance fee, "soapers" enjoy
a day of hands-on demonstrations, door prizes and a product
swap, featuring a contest for best in show. Presentations range
from tax solutions to essential oils. And lunch is even included!
This year, we learned how to make
an aromatherapy cupcake bath bomb, a kids' soap necklace, rose
face cream, and a soy candle. Best of all, we brought it all
home. You won't see us out of the bathtub 'til next year's
event, held each June."
