I agree with you Al crafts we do is time consuming and not to be dismissed we work a lot of house and unfortunately some people expect for it to be given very cheaply but time effort and lots of care and attention are given xxx
I luv how u keep you labels I'm going to start doing that I just keep mine in a file folder there always falling out and stuff. I like how u have them in sections tfs always enjoy watching you and listening to you. 💓😍
Hi Karen! I just ordered some soap from you! I bought 1 Flirtatious 1 Sugar Queen and a Rose Nest cupcake soap! I can't wait until they get here! I am so excited to try them out. Next month I will see about trying your body butter! Love ya! Bye for now, Lori
Just the video I needed today thank you. The wholesale thing is really hard. Had a shop lady come to me wanting to sale my soaps in her shop. But she wanted to tell me what I was going to sell them to her for. She told me I was going to sell her my cupcakes to her for a $1. She said because she needed to make a profit off of them. So I guess I was to go broke supplying her.
$1 what a joke, it will cost you more than that to make each one. So she's gonna sell em for $10 and make a fortune. Tell her to go, well you know where.. wink wink
I sorta got a same type deal, only it was for my crocheted bracelets. Be in her shop, she would take 30% and I was to file and pay my own taxes. I live and sell in a tax free zone.
when I started watching soaping videos on TH-cam, your video was the first one I clicked on Karen and I've been watching every since. Great to see you.
Beautiful artwork and a beautiful person making them!! Have a wonderfully blessed day from your Texas viewer. It's always a pleasure and joy to watch you!! Your lovely voice just makes my day. Hugs and love Sherry
The problem with the ads is that the company supplying the ads when on strike from TH-cam and decided to remove large portions of ads. So, there's only a little bit left to go around. That's why many people are having an ad revenue crash.
EdensSecret1 Hopefully! Last time something like this happened on TH-cam, many youtubers spoke out and got TH-cam back to the way it was prior to any changes. But, now that these companies are backing out and taking away their ads, it may take awhile to get those companies back on board with youtube. The reason they're on strike in the first place is because of the fact that many youtubers aren't "family friendly" and they don't want their ads being shown on a video of someone being cruel. They don't want their companies to associate with swearing, sexual and explicit content, etc. (Which pretty much all the largest youtubers talk about.) It's crazy, lol.
Fantastic to see you back on You Tube! Hope you will be a regular again. I just LOVE your videos! I could watch them all day. You are so inspiring! I got into soap making because of you. THANKS for sharing.
I love your video's too. I enjoy wrapping and making them pretty. I also appreciate when they come that way . Good seeing your video I enjoy the chatting too..
I'm in such a tight space here in my soap kitchen that it is simply home made shelf rack. When I had my shop I used to have a special soap rack, which a local woodman made for me.
Hi Karen can you tell me where you get your tags and labels made just can’t find a good company as I’m just starting out a candle business Hun love from a fellow north east lass xx
How big are your candles? I say just a little bigger. Mostly you can get good cheap boxes from Ebay. I'm sure there will be tons of places. Just type into google "packaging boxes"
Oh you are talking about the packing boxes, not an individual box for one soap, a box for multiples. This box is 25cm x 25cm x 25cm. I have many many sizes from 12 x 12 x 12 and go all the way up to 46 x 40 x 40 and many sizes in between. 16 x 16 x 16.... 20 x 20 x 20...... 28 x 20 x 20..... 30 x 25 x 20... lots of different sizes.
Hi sweetie, how've you been? I always love to watch your videos, so glad you posted this! Beautiful products as always, and even my hubby knows you by your "Hai - ai everyone", when I watch your videos, lol! You're well known in this home, and always a pleasure to hear your voice. Hugs from Wa, USA! :-) Mel
I'm good, ready for the weather to get more sunny, but I know it will. I was off of YT for quite a while, was just on watching vids here or there, but happy to be back, I missed everyone and soaps. Take care sweetie, I look fwd to your vids. :-)

So true, anything crafty, whether, art, sewing, soaping or anything similar, unfortunately we don't get paid what we deserve.

Oh thanks for letting me know. So when the strike is over, will it go back to where it was?

It's crazy, lol.
Well, I can understand that. I wouldn't want to be associated with any of that either
Fantastic to see you back on You Tube! Hope you will be a regular again. I just LOVE your videos! I could watch them all day. You are so inspiring! I got into soap making because of you. THANKS for sharing.
So happy I could be of some help
Hi Karen where do you purchace the cellophane for your cupcake if you don't mind me asking,love,love,love all your videos x
THEY LOOK GREAT.
I appreciate these types of videos from you. I learn so much from your chit chat.
So happy that you do. I know a lot of people can't stand the talking in video, but that's exactly how you find out the secrets, lol xx
Absolutely!
I pack mine up before orders are made. they're already wrapped when people order.
Yep, great that you can do that..........
Hi!!! I'm from Russia)) love watch your video. You made beautiful soup
Hello Russia, my hubby was just asking who watches now I can tell him Russia..........
I love your video's too. I enjoy wrapping and making them pretty. I also appreciate when they come that way . Good seeing your video I enjoy the chatting too..
Thanks so much for watching hun
Hi, I like the way you wrap your soaps with that plastic, what is the size, where did you buy it if you don't mind. TIA
Love watching your videos Karen!
Thanks Stephanie, you beena round watching a LONG time x
I absolutely enjoy watching your videos, please do continue making some more TH-cam videos!
I will Kolsoom x
Thank you for the great video! Can you please tell me what size your labels are? Also where do you get the clear cello wrap at pre- cut?
lol how do remember all the different ones your so organised I be soo confused 🤔
Just been doing it so long, but sometimes I do forget, it's the old age, lol
I was wondering where do you get your shelving unit from that your soap cupcakes are on
I'm in such a tight space here in my soap kitchen that it is simply home made shelf rack. When I had my shop I used to have a special soap rack, which a local woodman made for me.
what is the name of the plastic you're using in this video love the outcome of it
It is just "cellophane" actually
Thanks will see if I can find those out here
Maybe type in "cut cellophane"
Do you ship over seas
Yes....... we ship all over the world. You simply place your items in the cart, then choose which shipping option suits
Is your website down?
I wish it didn't cost so much to ship to the US. I really want to try your products.
I sure have missed you! I've started my own channel about a year ago.😍
Oh lovely I will pop over and sub x
Hi Karen can you tell me where you get your tags and labels made just can’t find a good company as I’m just starting out a candle business Hun love from a fellow north east lass xx
How do we order from your channel?
oh my I've missed your voice! keep the videos coming!!
I'll try my best
what size box would i need for just packing my candles karen x x also do you know where i could get them at a good price x x
How big are your candles? I say just a little bigger. Mostly you can get good cheap boxes from Ebay. I'm sure there will be tons of places. Just type into google "packaging boxes"
they are the same size as yours i think, but when i look online i just do not know what size to order x x
Oh you are talking about the packing boxes, not an individual box for one soap, a box for multiples. This box is 25cm x 25cm x 25cm. I have many many sizes from 12 x 12 x 12 and go all the way up to 46 x 40 x 40 and many sizes in between. 16 x 16 x 16.... 20 x 20 x 20...... 28 x 20 x 20..... 30 x 25 x 20... lots of different sizes.
It's great to see you filming a new video, and your products look great as always
Thanks Natalie

Always such a pleasure to see your videos and so relaxing to watch someone else wrap ; ) ~ Curious if you ever miss your store?
I do miss my store all the time, but I also like working from home too.
Cant you use the extra scrap paper for notes or other things?
Yes
