Hello Soapmakers!

Let's recap this week in soapmaking.

Welcome to issue 5 of Soap Week Update!

Theme of the Week: Peacock Swirl

This week's theme is all about the Peacock Swirl. The Peacock or Bouquet swirl is a swirl that I patterned after a beautifully swirled paper that I saw on PaperMojo.com. Have you tried it yet?

We Need Your Help

It can be hard to catch everything that goes on during the week in the world of soapmaking, especially if you aren't on social media every hour. Our goal is to build Soap Week Update to be the provider of news in the soapmaking industry. Where do we get our news? From you! If you are a blogger, supplier, member organization or industry mover-and-shaker, we want to hear from you! We have three topics that you can contribute to, which include:

Industry News - Features news relevant to the soapmaking industry. It could be about current legislation, a press release for a soap conference or any other news worthy story that a soapmaker needs to keep current on.
Blog Post List - We love reading soapmaking blogs! Submit your blog post to be included in our weekly blog post list. (No product promotion. Think educational. Design tutorials, soapmaking articles, etc. only.) Soap Week Update goes out every Friday; your blog post must have been published in the 7 days prior.
Supplier News - If you are a supplier and have a sale or event coming up, let us know! Did you write and publish a new soapmaking eBook or book? We'll be glad to let our readers know.

Submissions can be sent to amanda@lovinsoap.com.

Happy Soaping!
Amanda Gail
