Here in Sunny CA!

I've been spending the week in sunny Palm Springs, CA at the annual Handcrafted Soapmaker's Guild with over 200 other soap junkies! I'll post pics when I return. It's been a fantastic conference, talking soap from dawn to dusk and Erin Brokovich was our keynote speaker providing a great message about "stick-to-it" which was appropriate in these economic times.

My first day I listened to Erin Brokovich (and by the way, ONLY Julia Roberts could have played her), Donna Maria who of course was just awesome in "The Media and You", a melt -n- pour class about delicious desserts which was inspirational and lotionmaking with Annemarie from Brambleberry who is just awesome!
