How is this the last release of the year?
Where did 2025 go? I feel like I was just ringing in the new year yesterday. Reflecting back on the last 11 months, 2025 had its share of ups and downs. Some of the many joys: I started my YouTube journey, got to get back into showing goats, welcomed my beautiful bonus daughter into our house full time, watched Tonka grow from puppyhood to sub adult, and connected with so many of you in deeper and more meaningful ways. In contrast, I had to say goodbye to several loved ones, including my amazing Father-in-Law, our beautiful old buck Flash, and just last week my partner in snuggles 16-year-old cat Zoey. While I cherish the memories and mourn the losses, there was so much more joy in the year, and I look forward to what comes next!
Shifting our focus to the fun stuff - soap! I have here a whole group of holiday designs fit for sharing with your guests, filling your stockings, or perhaps a prize for the Dreidel game winner! This month I bring you holiday season scents, sculpted designs, and stories to warm your heart and your hands.
The response to my last release was overwhelming and flattering, and I am thrilled that the designs hit home for so many of you. My fingers are crossed that this round is just as loved. Nothing makes me do the happy dance faster than seeing an order come in, and if you have ordered from me, you know that I can hardly wait to box them up and get them moving in your direction. Some days it's even within hours! As the sole designer, maker, packager, and shipper your orders are the motivation I need to keep on crafting. Plus, the proceeds go to the critters on the farm, which makes them happy too!
As a reminder, I have one more market this year where you can shop all my inventory in person - the fair supports our local school system with a small admission fee and a silent auction. See below for specifics.
And while I'm reminding you of stuff, I wanted to mention that despite the recent free-shipping threshold increase I had to establish, our auto-ship boxes remain free shipping! Auto-ship boxes are fully customizable, you can indicate what bars you want in each box, and they are a great value with a slight discount over "ala carte" orders. Auto-ship boxes take a bit of the risk off my inventory management for both product and materials, and I also get to pre-plan my schedule. Those tiny efficiencies enable me to pass that savings directly back to you.
Ok, that was a lot of words for this edition and I'm just going to close out with a huge thank you to everyone - I see you, I hear you, and I appreciate every one of you. If you made it this far, thank you! And go subscribe to my YouTube channel, you are my people. 💚
