Day 31 and almost out of money

Hello everyone! So I need some clear glycerin soap, but if I buy it I'm completely tapped out of a budget. I have a little white soap and some scraps left of different color soaps. Quite the dilemma because I haven't thought about what I would do if I ran completely out. Then last night my daughter woke me up at 3am and she shortly went to sleep again, but I was wide awake. So I was thinking about my soap business and what I have that I can put on my shop. Well, I have my bath salts, I just need to make labels. I can't use my sugar body scrub because I still need containers. Then I was think I have tons of polymer clay, maybe I can make some bathroom themed jewelry or bathroom themed scrabble tile necklaces. The only thing is I don't want to stray to far from soap and would this be considered cheating??? I pondered and pondered this for like two hours, and I decided I might give it a try and I convinced my self it wasn't cheating haha. I mean I have been using as many free resources as possible, and the first step I did was looked around my house for whatever I can use that I wouldn't have to go out and buy. Anyways, I guess we'll see how it works out. For now Maddie is being grumpy so I've gotta get.

Day 1, Step 1


So I've already came up with a name it's, "Soaps and Such by Holly". I think my first step is to get my online resources set up, hence starting up my blog. Since there is no way I can afford an actual shop, there are many online venues available for free, and my favorite is etsy.com, so that's where I'll start. My father in law has been working on making a banner for my store front, he's is pretty good at messing around on the computer so he was happy to help.

Here is my online store's URL: www.soapsandsuch1.etsy.com

Unfortunately soapsandsuch was already taken so I had to add the one. I already have a paypal account from years ago when I was an ebay addict. It has a balance of $8.45, that will be part of the $100.00 that I have allocated towards this project. I have about a half an hour till I have to pic the kids up from school so now I'm gonna fill in the little details on my profiles for my blog and my etsy shop before I have to get going. Once again, any ideas are much appreciated!

Here is the cute banner my father in law created!
