New Things

My head is buzzing with ideas for new products for next year. I am slowly whittling down those ideas and researching oils etc, so that I can start to work on the products and packaging. I am really excited by the direction I have decided to take this area of the business.

The products will be different to those I make now, and are aimed at a different target market. The packaging is going to be the usual pain to source, although I have a vague idea of what I want.

All will be revealed as and when I have finalised a product - so watch this space!

The clocks go back this weekend, so in theory that means an extra hour in bed. In reality, for me it won't. Cats do not go by the time on the clock, and no doubt I will have some furry little ratbag dancing all over me because it wants its breakfast. I am off work on Monday and Tuesday of next week, so I want to get everything ready for the craft fair on 13th and then it won't be too much of a rush, assuming all goes to plan, and it has not today.

I was trying to print off the cigar bands for the limited edition Christmas soap, and spent most of the afternoon fighting with and swearing at the printer, which has now decided that it does not like the card I am using. Trouble is that I have used the card before with no problems so why it won't go through now is a complete mystery.

I  hate technology!

Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh

I have to tweak the label slightly but this is the almost finished article. Gold (from mica), Frankincense and Myrrh limited edition Christmas soap. 

New Soap

Christmas is rapidly approaching and in preparation, I have made a new limited edition soap. Fragranced with Frankincense and Myrrh essential oils, with a touch of mica for colour this soap will be available for sale shortly on www.scent-trail.co.uk

I am delighted to announce that last Friday, Scent Trail won the Sefton Womens Business Network "Mother Earth" Award for the most eco friendly business. (http://www.swbn.co.uk/).

This was the first year of the awards, so I am especially proud to have won the inaugural award. The SWBN is a networking organisation aimed at helping and supporting women start and grow their businesses.
