Day 23 # Blogyourbrand If you would have asked me when I started if I ever thought I would write a book, I would say, "Um, no, you are crazy!" I was asked to teach a bath bomb class at an annual conference last May. At first, I was putting together a "handout" and kept writing, showing, and sharing years of techniques. Then, it ended up becoming a book. I have Kayla Fioravanti, the author of How To Self-Publish: A guide for Author-Preneurs, to thank. After reading her book, I turned my years of notes into my own book called, Make It Fizz:...

I am just now peeling away all of the layers of my soapy life from the past few months. At one point it was a bit overwhelming I am not going to lie. But I took each event and took it all in.

Oh yes I did!  When I got the new round mold by Bramble Berry I knew exactly what I wanted to do with them! I was going to just make a "lucky 8 ball soap" . I had taught a felting class last weekend and had some extra colors and thought let me make a few others. Honestly if I would have had the other colors and more soap balls , you would be looking at the whole set. How did I make these cute pool ball soaps you ask? Well I will share with you my top secret fuzzy felted soap technique...
