Bath Bomb Creations & Grumpy Joe's Pet Emporium Goes Live!

Hello everyone!

I feel I have worked, slept and dreamt websites.  

I've worked all weekends and every weekends. 

I've driven 45mins to my day job early to work on the website.

I've arrived home and worked on it some more.

17 February it went LIVE!

You know, it feels like a ten ton weight off from my shoulders.

I have lots more to do: social media, database, marketing.

I've been visiting Wendy's blog and printed off tips for SEO and Google Analytics.

But now I have time to catch up at home, write my blog and visit other blogs (over a glass of wine) and generally not have to hurry because I have website work to do. Phew...

What do we have?

Charity

We are huge animals lovers and Ray made 5 No. 200g chunky bars of Ginger & Lime soap for humans in aid of Feline Care in Norfolk. They give a home, cuddles and love to the unwanted and elderly cats.  We've designed a soap wrap too. 

Diamond & Gem Bath Melt Range.

These cute little diamond and gems are 2cm x 2cm and are painted with cosmetic glitter.

And no, you won't leave the tub covered in shimmery glitter!

You know, when the light catches these, the gems really do sparkle.

Sale

We had a few luxuries over from a December event so we've added these to our Sale shop at low prices so spread the word!

Funky Bath Bombs

We are happy to craft the traditional bath bombs with petals and sugar toppings, but we thought, why not go modern?  We've discovered Mica colours you see.  Full of glitter and shimmer.

Fabric - 100% silk & 100% Polyester

When I realized I was never going to master mum's 1960's Singer sewing machine or anything remotely modern, I packed away all my new fabric.  And I have tons.  I have added a few stacks on the web and selling them at 20p a sheet.  There's so much more to add.  As you all craft ... and know how to use a sewing machine (!!) ... the fabric is ideal

Shimmer Bath Melts

You only need one in a tub to feel totally moisturized.  These are my favourites.  Which bath products do you like? Doesn't have to be listed here, of course.  I enjoy a long soak, glass of wine and afterwards I really feel I've been at a spa!

Gardener's Soap for Mum or Gran

Ray made gardener's soap from a terracotta pot and sliced it in half.  He topped it with oats to remove dirt as you wash then as for Mum or Gran, a touch of pink...

Grumpy Joe's Pet Emporium

We've also begun a pet care range.  Cat Flea Balm, Dog Flea Balm, Soothing Balm and coming soon, Dog Coat Conditioner 

Well, I hope you've enjoyed visiting and as for me look forward to joining in with Wendy's blog.  I've also subscribed to Craftseller and seen Wendy's products. Also has lots of interesting features for a small business.

We'd love you to visit our new web, tell us what you think (good or bad - you may see errors that we cannot anymore!). You are well to join our mailing list (we won't bombard you).   We have a blog and the first post has a code for a FREE item. And we have our guestbook for messages or reviews too.

Best Wishes,

Our website

Bath Bomb Creations is in the last two weeks of publishing its website, hence why this blog has not been updated since November.

We are taking part in the March CraftFest, a virtual craft fayre live for a week on 16th March.

I am gradually uploading boards on in Interest too.

LinkedIn, FreeIndex, Facebook etc is next.

Then all out pushing Bath Bomb Creations, although following pushing the LIVE button for the web I may take a break.  I have a sitcom to write too.

Our web will feature:

Grumpy Joe's Pet Emporium:  Cat Flea Balm, Dog Flea Balm £2.50, Cat & Dog Conditioner Spray, Dog Shampoo Soap

Funky Bath Bombs

Diamond & Gem Bath Melt

New Fabric: 100% silk or Polyester. We have lots and are selling at 20p per sheet.  Perfect for crafting.

Sale & end of live luxuries at knock down prices.

There are lots...

CraftFest - 24th November to 1st December 2012

We'd love it if you visited our stall at CraftFest.

There are lots of talented crafters on there so pop over and do some leisurely shopping!

We even have Herbal Dog Shampoo Bars on there.

Our own website will be completed January and eBay updated with lots of luxuries in the new year.

21g Bath Bomb Rose with Lavender Essential Oil

We'll nestle these in organza bags as cracker or tree gifts.
Actually, we'll have bath bombs tucked inside organza bags for the next event.
People always remark how much they spend on cracker gifts and wish they'd bought from us!
Lovely to hear...

Couldn't resist adding our Christmas puds again!
I so love these and they went down a storm in our November event.

We have a Christmas draw that closes 24th December ...

I have a list I take to events. People add there name and email address.
Entering is in exchange for an email announcing the launch of the website.

If you'd like to take part, email bathbombcreations@btinternet.com
with Christmas Draw in the subject line.

Then in January see what the postman brings you!

Don't forget to pop over to Wendy's Handmade Monday!

Getting Ready for a Pamper Evening

We have a Mum's pampering event on Thursday evening so have spent today (almost) finishing preparation.

Our bath bombs are pictured drying and are now boxed up with gold text on black card.

Light Sandlewood Fragrance Oil

Apple & Cinnamon Fragrance Oil

Lime & Ginger Fragrance Oil

Cedarwood Essential Oil topped with Saffron

Vanilla Fragrance Oil

Jasmine & Ginseng

Coconut Fragrance Oil

Basket of Lip Balm

100% Natural Lip Balm with honey, beeswax and Vitamin E

 We have lots of these dotty bags and pink tags so have filled them with luxuries.

We are keeping prices low.

Rose-shaped Bath Bomb or Soap, bars of Natural Soap or scented

A Basket of Dotty Gift Bags!

A Basket of Bath Bomb Fizz Cones!

A Taste of Christmas...

I have a card that mentions Christmas luxuries and gift bags to come at the next event at this venue.  And I thought, why not have a visible taster?   So Ray handcrafted a few Puds .....

Christmas Pudding Bath Bombs scented with Christmas Spice Fragrance Oil

Christmas Draw...

We thought: How do we get people to visit our website?

This event we have attended before and have regular customers.

Anyway, I have signage as well as a form inviting people to enter in exchange for us to let them know when our web is live.

People add their name and email address.

By doing this they get entered into a Christmas draw.

Closing date is Christmas Night as we have a few events.

And the prize will be 'See what postie brings in January!'

We all need cheering up in January.... 

We have Sale luxuries too and to be honest we have discounted them at knock down prices ... from 10p.

Red signage with 'SALE' written on.

It's not a Christmas event and we all identify 'red' being a sale colour and if our vision picks up the word 'sale' too... then the low price...well...

We all love a bargain!

True?

Professional Crafter's Guild

We joined and they are happy to  add our website when live.

We have a cerificate. I picked up a fairly decent frame at Poundland and will display the certificate.

I just thinks it adds some credibility to our craft too.

Do you and have you joined? 

Only 2.50 

Tomorrow  we are off to join Wendy's Handmade Monday too!
