    Congradulations on your successfully funded project!!! I found your Kickstarter page today while doing a search for .... soap. There are very few who have successfully funded projects on Kickstarter that are related to soap making... but you and I are two of them! Back in July, my project for publishing my book, Creative Soap Making, was successfully funded. Kickstarter was a great way to do it! I wish you the best!

    It's a Book!

    Well Ladies & Gentlemen, I have an announcement.... it's a book! It's not a baby, it's not a building (the two things I have compared this project to) but it is indeed a book!

    The hubby and I went to Austin yesterday and picked them up. They will soon be on their way to you! Now I launch into the new phase.... marketing.

    I love to quote old phrases (perhaps my NEXT book???) and here's a quote that caught my attention this week..... "Any fool can write a book, it takes a genius to market one." --Anon.
    So onward we go!

    Thank you once again, for your support! I so appreciate each and every one of you!

    Elin

    Let the Presses Roll!

    Yesterday afternoon I had a meeting with the Book Printer and signed off on the draft of the book, formally known as the "postscript text." They will start printing the book text today! We had to do some minor tweaking on the cover, I am due back in their office on Thursday to approve the results.

    The clock has begun ..... in 10 - 12 working days, the book will be complete!

    Yes, Pat... that's the cover! I will be talking to the book cover lady on Monday. We MAY or may not doing a little tweaking on it, only on form, not content.
