Giving Thanks...

Well it's been several weeks since my handmade soaps were posted on Martha's Stewarts website~So, I'd say a "thank-you" is do to the staff at Martha Stewart Living... I knew I wanted to send a thank you gift. That was the easy part-the hard part was the "where" to send it.

So, after tons of emails, with no response- I finally picked up my latest issue of Martha Stewart Living, browsed the editorials for a phone number. To my surprise-it worked! Within an hour of leaving Elizabeth Smyth a message-she emailed me! A short note with an address and the making of a thank- you gift was on it's way!

A basket that could easily be recycled~ stuffed with an assortment of handmade soaps, Lavender Grace linen spray, some bath sea salts, and washing cloths. I chose a wrought iron cottage garden basket to send the goodies in. Before it was sent, I was determined to take a pic of the completed basket. With little light outside under the willow, I packed up my "staging" and took it inside the soap kitchen.

Gosh- nothing was working-the lighting, the setting~ I was going bonkers! Usually picture taking is easy~ so several dozen pics later~ the shots weren't perfect, but enough was enough...after loading the film into the computer, loading the 11lbs. of contents, printed the shipping label...the box was sealed. Now I wait~ and hope the box is opened, and the thank you note is read, and the goodies are shared. Well see....
