Well, that's one blessing. But of course you know, it's ALWAYS the

mother's fault. Not the brightness, of course, but anything bad. Jessie

[arsoap.com] introduction

Hi everyone.....I guess it's time that I quit lurking and introduce myself.I received an email from Kim a couple of weeks ago inviting me to join andsince then I've been so busy that I haven't taken the time to sit down andpost. My name is Katy and I have a very small soap business called NaplesCreek Soaps & Sundries. I'm located in Naples (NY of course) and mainly justsell my product at craft shows and from my website. I do have my soaps in 2gift shops (co-ops) but haven't really done wholesale yet. Soapmaking hasbeen my hobby and passion since 1998 but, unfortunately, I have a full timejob (gotta pay for those soap supplies!) that keeps me very busy as well. Ido most of my soaping on weekends but try and get a few batches in duringthose late nights in the week when I've got time to myself. I'm divorcedwith 2 daughters (12 and 16) and have been engaged for about 7 years! Myfiance' and I have been together for almost 10 years now, have built a housetogether (that we now live in) and may even be considered married by commonlaw. :-)One of these days we will have that wedding. I've been readingeveryones messages and sure wish I could have made the gathering. Soundedlike a lot of fun. I looked at the map but it's still hard to tell justwhere everyone is from. A few from Rochester maybe? I know Kim is inLeicester which isn't far from me and I drive through there everyday to goto work. I've been getting almost all of my supplies online so if anyone hasany hints on suppliers close to me (or Rochester even), I would be forevergreatful. The shipping kills me. Nice to "meet" you all!KatyNaples Creek Soaps & Sundrieswww.naplescreeksoaps.comOur members maphttp://.homestead.com/locations.htmlOur Message Boardhttp://www.voy.com/21568/Check out these great Molds!!http://soapwerks.com/martinworld.htmAll posts to this list are copyrighted by post author.

Re: introduction

SMALL WORLD!!! Yes, is my hubby! I read your note to him and he was amazed! "I know her! She's so nice!"I'm so glad you like my soap. Thimbleberry Hill is going strong! I've opened a shop on Main Street in Geneseo. I give classes out of the shop also. Right now I'm thinking of adding soaping supplies. Do you think there's enough call around here?LizzOur members maphttp://.homestead.com/locations.htmlOur Message Boardhttp://www.voy.com/21568/Check out these great Molds!!http://soapwerks.com/martinworld.htmAll posts to this list are copyrighted by post author.

I was very involved in our local DS support group when was

younger...around 1 yr. old. Basically all members had little children as it

was a newly formed group. The group fell apart after about 5-7 yrs due to

low attendance of monthly meetings. I formed some wonderful friendships and

still are very close to the original members even after the group fizzled. A

new group has formed in our area again and I attended one meeting. It was

just like the group that we used to have......all parents of children under 3

yrs old.

Then I found this place and absolutely love it because it is so chock full of

information and if I have a particular worry or problem, I can post and get

tons of help from wonderful people. Thank goodness for technology, huh? We

are all very lucky.

Hello:

I am the co-leader of a DS Support Group in my area and our attendance has been

very low. I think alot of people forget about it, as the leader before me said

he had very few people come unless he called a few days before the meetings.

Also, we have tried changing our time to a Saturday morning instead of a week

night evening. This itself I think has helped. Right now we are also meeting

at a park so the kids can play while we have our meeting. Even though I'm not a

big outdoors fan, I have to say it has been kind of nice. Also, in a couple of

weeks we are having a picnic and I'm expecting alot more attendance for those as

they seem to be pretty popular.

We are also sometimes combining our meetings with the Autism Support Group

depending on what is going on and if we have similar issues. For instance, in

September we are having a Legislature meeting in conjunction with the Autism

Support Group. We will have at least one congressman from our area there and

are working on some more. I, luckily, don't have to coordinate this as our

local Easter Seal's Children's Developmental Center is where our DS Support

Group is through and the Parent Liasion takes care of this kind of stuff.

Well, I think that's about it. If you have any questions, please feel free to

ask.
