Six Winners

I can't make myself choose a winner to the lemongrass & calendula give away. So, I'll giving everyone who commented on the post a bar of soapy goodness. If you live away, leave me your address at twinbirchbath(at)gmail(dot)come. Otherwise, I'll bring it to you! Thanks to all of you for your nice words & for reading One Bubble I hope you love the soap as much as I do.

If you are local, come enjoy some fun shopping Thursday & Friday from 10-4. You'll find great gifts for dads, grads, teachers and anyone else you might want to treat to some bubble luxury. (Like maybe, yourself!!)

Lemongrass & Calendula

After a few weeks at the store, I have discovered my soapy best seller. My lemongrass & calendula soap is flying out of the shop. I love this soap because it is soothing, refreshing & invigorating. The lemongrass & lemon essential oils are bright and boisterous yet relaxing and comforting. The calendula is soothing and so pretty in the bar. I also love the formula for our cold process soap. The oils I use combine with unrefined african shea butter and offer all that you'd want from a bar of soap. It's moisturizing. It's full of bubbles which make a great lather. It's long lasting & non drying. I love everything about it and I think you might, too.

In the spirit of sharing a good thing, I'll pick someone randomly from the comments section & give away a bar! Leave me a note and I'll let you know who wins on Wednesday. Lots of bubbly love!

Final Feel the Love Giveaway~ Merry Christmas!!

I have had so much stress trying to figure out who, what, how to determine the last Feel the Love Giveaway! It's been bubbling in my brain for days! Well, it just hit me! I was making my very first Buche de Noel (more on that another day) when I decided what to do!

The bottom line is, I love all of you who read, visit, comment & check in. Knowing all of you is the motivation to sitting down to share these moments of my life & business. I couldn't possibly pick one person to send the last gift to. So! The first 10 people to leave a comment on this post will receive one of my holiday~scented~all~natural~extra~yummy Artisan Soap Bars. I'll happily & lovingly pick your gift. I can tell you that I love each & every one of the bars.

You might get:

Perfect Pumpkin, Cranberry Cheer, Candy Cane or Vermont Spruce. They will come with lots of love! Email your addy to me at twinbirch(at)verizon(dot)net. I won't ship them out before next week, so they'll arrive just in time for you to relax a little! :)

Most importantly, I wish you all several quiet moments to reflect on what is most important this Holiday Season! I also wish you each a wonderful Holiday!!

Feel the Love Giveaway is the Bomb

Are you all just cranking through this holiday season? Am I the only one who realized that there are only 17 days 'til Christmas?! I had the most fun, fun, fun Bubble Open House yesterday! I'll blog in the next day or two about all of my favorite girlfriends who came up to do some shopping.

As for my favorite bloggy girlfriends, I feel so lucky to have so many of you! I've been loving this giveaway promo for the past bunch of weeks. Even though I started out calling it Feel the Love Friday Giveaway, it slid quickly to Saturday, Sunday... thanks for all of the patience! :)

I made a whole bunch of bombs for a beautiful store in Burlington Vermont called Candles & Creations. I think they are really fabulous, so I'm packing up a four pack for Elizabeth of Gassner Custom Soaps. Go check her blog & her etsy shop! She's an adorable mom and very gifted soaper (and cutie tutu maker, too!)
Here you go Elizabeth... you're the bomb! xoxo

Have you all ever seen Plymouth Rock? Well~ here's a picture. It's arguably the most important rock in the New World. Is it huge? Nope. It's kind of small. But if you stop and think about how stark it is, you might imagine what it was like for the Pilgrims when they landed~ not so easy.
I get a little crabby when my bathroom floor is too cold. Can you imagine the first winter here? Yikes. I'm thankful for heat!

And... I'm thankful for all of you fun, sweet, lovely bloggers. Although most of us have never met, each of you make my life better with your sweet messages and fun thoughts. Thank you for all of the love that you send up here! I'm wishing you all a wonderful, full & rich Thanksgiving!~ much love!

Feel the Love Friday Giveaway in a Perfect Way

Happy Weekend, everyone! I hope you all are enjoying a fun, easy Saturday. We are going to watch a Dartmouth Football game this afternoon. They are playing Brown. Is a little rainy but I'm hoping for a miracle clearing of the skies. That would be perfect.

Speaking of perfect, I am head over heels for Perfect Pumpkin. It's a great seasonal fragrance! I'm not huge on the sweet scents, so this is just right for me. It has a little spice and there's something about it that keeps is from being icky sweet. It also has that fresh pumpkin~in~a~good~way thing about it. I made up little gift sets with a lotion, body wash and little butterfly pouf. They've done super well at the craft fairs and I thought it would be a great give away item.Congrats to Michele at Soapy Elephant. She wins a little set to enjoy~hope she does! Michele~ send me your addy at twinbirch(at)verizon(dot)net and I'll get it out within the week! Y'all ;) should check our Michele's blog and her etsy shop. She makes some really pretty soap at Soapy Elephant and.. does she make the pretty jewelry at Girl Lavender, too?! So talented!

Get your own sets at Twin Birch on Etsy. They are a great value~ and come in fun fragrances!

Feel the Love Friday Giving Away in a Peaceful Way

I'm heading out to other craft show this weekend. Boy, the holidays sure are crazy, aren't they??
In that vein, I thought that this weeks giveaway should offer a little Peace to life. This bar is just the ticket. It smells sooo yummy. Clean, fresh~ kind of like a crisp winter day. You can get your very own at Twin Birch at Etsy.

Unless you are Pajama Mama, then I'm sending it to you for free!! Send me your addy, girlie!!
I can't wait to ship it! And go see her blog. She's adorable!

Happy Weekend! :)

Give Away Today, Give Away Every Friday Until Christmas

In a very un-scientific way, my family and I drew a name to decide who would 2 bars of Twin Birch Artisan Soap... Perfect Pumpkin and Cranberry Cheer. They all wanted to pull the name, so I just did it because it was time for dinner, I had a little low-blood-sugar thing going on... you know how that all goes. Anyway, I'm so happy to say that the winner is right here in beautiful Randolph, Vermont. My friend Ramsey gets some free soap! I'm so happy because she's one of 2 friends who actually visit my blog. I guess all of the other girls figure they've already heard the story of the day, so what's the point? :)

Anyway, congrats to Ramsey! Here's her picture. She's with 3 of her 4 kids. Isn't she beautiful?

So, I love the holidays! Have I mentioned that? Since I can't help myself, I'll be giving something away every week until Christmas. I'm calling it "Feel the Love Friday". It's going to be random, but fun so please check in and leave comments. I'll be drawing names from all of the comments left from Saturday thru Thursday of that week. It will be something fun and it'll smell good, too! I'm psyched to send out lots of bubble love!

How Do You Feel About Fall?

Well, it's here. There are leaves in the driveway, the air is cooler and the Tunbridge Fair has come and gone (check back for that post~as long as you have a strong stomach!) It's Autumn in Vermont. For me, fall is bitter~sweet. I LOVE the upcoming holidays and all of the tradition that comes our way. I will miss the care~free days of summer. *sigh*

So, how about you? How do you feel about this time of year? What are your favorite things about it? Recipes? Family Traditions? Treasures to pull out from the closet? Let me know! Let's make it a giveaway! I'll use Teresa's method to pick a winner on Sept. 21st. You'll win 2 bars of Twin Birch Artisan Soap... Perfect Pumpkin and Cranberry Cheer.

Happy Fall! :)

Down Under Soap is Over the Top!

I am one lucky girl!! I just received the most adorable Pink Gift Bag from Michelle of Oats and Honey!! First of all, I won it which is so fab! Secondly, the packaging is insanely cute! Most importantly, it all smells and looks DIVINE!!! Plus, it's so very cool to think of it being here after it started out in Australia!! I wish you all could lay your hands/noses on this bundle of soapy joy!

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow...Give Away!

One must embrace that which one can't control...right? We have snow today. As a way of thumbing my nose at it, I put together a cute Spring Pedi Kit with Twin Birch Tingle Foot Products.

Tingle is the name because of the cooling, soothing properties that these treats bring to the party! It's made up of 3 great products to get our peds back in the groove; Tingle Fabulous Foot Soak, and Tingle Fabulous Foot Scrub, Tingle Fabulous Foot Lotion! I also popped in the adorable Pedi Flip Flops, Foot Brush, and Toe Spacers for polishing up! I fell in love with the organza mesh bags, too.

Guess what? I think it would make a great One Bubble Give-Away! I'm sending it to one of you... to be announced on April 4th. Let's say "no!" to snow and "yes!" to flip flops and beautiful feet!

For those of you who can't wait, click here to check it out on Etsy! :)
