Sudsy Surprises
by Fifi
When my soap crafting hobby went wild, I decided to start my own small craft business. After all, there are only so many bars of soap one can use and give away. I also needed money to feed my addiction for more stock. That’s how “Sudsy Surprises” started. It was perfect; I’d create my masterpieces for the awe-inspired public and have to employ a full-time staff to keep up with the demand. I’d employ local women and give them a chance to do as well as me and all the while, the money would roll in. read

I think that comes from being a very organized and routine kind of personality. read

My partner, Bob and I produced marbled tee shirts and shoes for the event and we called the business "Old Book Tees". The response I received and the sales at this event energized me. Knowing I was off to a great start, I returned home to produce more items to sell. read
