Hello everyone! Thanks for watching! I just want to shout out a huge thank you for those that were able to purchase from the Rainbow Extravaganza! I also want to say I'm sorry for those that weren't able to purchase. The soap and wax melts sold at record speed. It was quite shocking actually! I do still have bath fizzies and sugar scrubs left in the shop at moriversoap.com. Be sure to check out the video description for more information! This is Part 1 of 3! YAY!
Hi Holly, Not trying to break ur chops but where is part 2 ?!?! I love love love ur pack n chats. I think u are adorable and funny. I truly enjoy ur packing videos. I love packing orders and I love wrapping gifts. I love gift wrapping I tell my customers don’t check gift wrapping because Etsy makes you change $1.00 for gift wrapping so I tell ppl just message me let me know what u want wrapped if a card is necessary , if so what kind n I go to town. I go out of my way like you do I have black n brown craft as my colors. Black is my signature color! And my tissue paper is black I use recyclable brown craft n black shred w the black tissue paper and a black satin bow!! Then I have a brown craft thank you card. The writing is glossy black on the matte craft paper and I was seal it with my black wax. I love it! It’s rustic witchy Chic Lol but over the years you have inspired me. U seem to love wrapping n packing as much as I do. I know our color schemes are different and ur a rainbow girl and I’m a dark deep color lover but we have similar styles and ur videos inspire me they really do! So I am waiting for the rest of the packing videos. Thank you for making them! I just made soap last night and I don’t know what it is looking like right now and maybe I didn’t use enough mica but I did light blue a dark blue and Aphrodite blue from mad Micas one was from TKB. And they were blue and I made my own fragrance blend which is beautiful no vanilla in any of them and all 3 colors turned GREEN! It’s a blueberry n Apple fragrance with a hint of pumpkin but as of a few hrs ago it was GREEN! I hope it changes back. I’ve never ever had a bad batch of soap. I’ve never had one cease or speed up acceleration on me and I knew when I used buttercup yellow that it would turn brown n back to yellow. But all 3 colors turned green! I don’t know why I hope it turns back even a little lol
Thank you Mary! I sure appreciate your encouragement. I admit to being a big softy. I handle it fairly well most of the time but sometimes it all comes in so fast and furious that it does affect me deeply. I try not to...but I am a feeler. :-)
I wish I lived near you so I could order your soaps . I love all your designs and how much care you put into packing your orders . God Bless you and your family
Thank you so much for packing my order in this video and mentioning my state...I felt so lucky to get some soaps this time and can not wait to use them. So happy your release was a huge success...you so deserve it.
I just got my delivery today. Everything is gorgeous! This is my first order from you, and it definitely won’t be my last. It was so neat seeing the soaps being made, even watching you pack them. Have a fantastic day!
My order should arrive today! I’m so delighted. I was stalking your website on launch day to make sure I could get everything I wanted. I’m so fortunate that everything I wanted was available. This is my first order, and I can’t wait! My family’s day of rest is also Saturday. I just finished cleaning the house, and sat down with some lunch to watch this chat and pack. I still have a few more things to do today, but I always look forward to the change of pace and focus on Saturdays. Blessings as you enjoy your weekend rest.
Holly I love the end part of this video!.. Something different is always fantastic Hun!... I just love your channel & cant wait to have my soap delivered 💕
I Literally Obsessed Watching These Rainbow Soaps! So Fun To Watch. So Sad I Couldn’t Buy Any They We’re Sold Out Before I Could Log On. I Even Had Things In My Wishlist I Wanted Sooo Bad!! Lol Maybe Next Time! 💜
Turned this on bc I started having a panic attack for the first time since breaking up with my boyfriend, and was all alone. I couldn’t think what else to do. You calmed me down before I had a full-fledged panic attack. Thank you.
Your extravaganza was spectacular Holly!! Congratulations! I mozied over to see how it was all doing on the night of the release and it was gonzo!! Although I was not surprised, I was actually happy and shocked it all sold out so quickly!! Fabulous job, well done!! 💞 👍👌
Hey, my friend ❤ I was clicking as fast as I could to get the soaps, but you sold out just as fast as I could get to the checkout. I can say hallelujah that I was able to order something. Not to mention, I prayed that you would sell out and you did👐🏿👐🏿👐🏿👐🏿👐🏿 We love and appreciate you.❤❤ ~Lady Kre #TeamMORIVERSOAP
yay, another packing video! I make homemade soap too, but it has been a while since I made a batch. I have been watching soap making videos for years. I love when everyone shows all their soaps. I just love looking at homemade soap! yeah, I know, weird!!
Honestly idek know your Hawaii customers but I love the support and dedication they show and provide, their boxes be what I wish I could get and that’s everything lol 😂❤️
Love your videos. Sorry I missed out this time but boy everything went faster than I anticipated! But congratulations for that! I would love to request a restock sometime in the future of fresh linen and a eucalyptus when you can!! I just love the strong scents!! Thanks for all the videos!!🥰
Thank you Stacy! I'm sorry you missed out. It went way faster than I anticipated! I do have Iced Eucalyptus curing right now. I will bump Fresh Linen up on my list. I'm trying to do restocks first for the ones that are specifically requested. :-)
Very important that you don't lose your love of soap making! You make such beautiful, artistic things. One day when business is booming and shipping to Australia doesn't work out to $40 per bar I'll be your best customer!! Ever since I saw your first video of 'chasing rainbows' it was the most beautiful soap I've ever seen. I hope one day I'll get to try it
I wondered that too. However, the soaps that didn't have much ash to start with didn't really change much after steaming. But it could have been the length of time I steamed them because I wouldn't have spent that much time on the low ash ones. My general experience is that I never have good results from steaming but I definitely think the salt played a part. When I make the videos, I don't always speak every last part of my thought process. LOL But I know since most of my watchers are soap makers, you all have good and helpful thoughts too. :-)
I wanted so badly to get my hands on a few of these soaps! I was so prepared, I even had a list of exactly what I wanted to make checkout faster lol! Unfortunately, I had a couple things come up so I forgot and by the time I remembered, everything I wanted was snatched up! Next release I will not miss out lol!
I am so excited! I keep looking at the shop app for my order to change status. I know it will take time but I am so happy I was able ti get my hands on some products.
Thank you! I just checked and your first order is still quite a ways down my list. I've packed almost 150 orders and I'm only 4 minutes into the release. It's crazy! I average about 30-40 orders a day with my style of packing (detail oriented, hand written thank you, etc..), so it looks like I'll get to your orders on Monday. :-)
I'm so happy for you that you had such a successful release! Ngl I was bummed things s sold out so quickly and I missed out, but that's not your fault it's mine. You deserve all the success in the world Holly 💜
“The ash that was there came back and invited all of it’s ashy friends.” 😂😂😂😂 I watch these like 3 times because I always miss something (I have a 2 year old). I totally missed that the first time around and I am cracking up right now. 😂😂😂
I was so excited and had been waiting to order for months. I had all my favorites ready to order and as a EMT you go when needed. I missed everything but 1 soap 😭, im not going to lie, I actually cried ( one of those straw on camels back things) but i was sooooo happy for Holly that this sale went so good, what a blessing ( congratulations girl, you rocked it). Im excited to get my order that I was able to get and look forward to planning more for the next rainbow sale.
Awe I'm sorry Stephanie. I can understand the 'straw on a camels back' situation. I think we're all just getting so tired and as an EMT, you are surely extra stressed. I'll be thinking about you! Thank you for ordering what you could. I appreciate it.
Your repeat customers should already know this release would go fast. I am so happy I was able to get my sugar scrub. I hope you didn't pack my order yet. I plan to get two more jars. If you have I don't need free samples. You give always so much.
I love the design on your apron. Did you make it or could you point me in the direction for where I can get it? I was surprised how fast the rainbow stuff sold out. I looked when if first came available, but as I was at work, I didn't order anything. I get home and everything was gone!!! I just wanted some wax melts and maybe a "macaroon" for my daughter. (I figured the soaps would all be gone. They looked amazing.) Wow! Love watching your pack and chats.
I am so upset to the fact that I literally missed the shop ☹️I have everything ready on my wish list and was waiting for the time for the shop to open overslept and by the time I got to the shop everything was sold out 😭😢 you are extremely a good soak maker for your shop to be sold out in a couple of hours 🤯😥 is a beautiful thing even though I missed out once again. 🤦🏽♀️💯 😎
So far, I've only done it twice...two years apart. I do make rainbow products all through the year though. The Extravaganza is just the only time I make them all at once. :-) It took nearly a year to make the Rainbow Extravaganza happen. I started planning and purchasing the supplies I would need around the Fall season last year and started creating after I'd made restocks following the Holiday season.
Hi Holly, I just started making labels for my soap and body butters n all that. When I print on my 2 inch round labels it come out centered for the most part.but when I print up my 1.75 inch labels the middle ones r ok but some are off centered to the left and some are off centered on the right. Have u ever had that happen before?
I have a heck of a time working with label sheets. That is why I only buy full sheet labels and punch or cut everything. It's a nuisance but I was tired of wasting labels constantly. I've never had a printer that could line anything up right. I have not tried it with this new one though.
Thank you Faith! It really depends. My happy batch size is 50 bars but I do make around 100 bars for my more popular soaps. I don't mind making huge batches occasionally and will do so when needed. However, when I make huge batches for everything, it gets very physically and financially limiting and it's just not that much fun anymore. I scaled up for a while and I didn't love making soap and so I found myself actually not making soap. That is why I came back down to the 50 bars.
I got on at 6 minutes after and almost everything was gone. So, I grab two things , wrote you a quick note, and went to pay and both of those had sold out!!! I was only able to get one of one thing that was left. It’s my first time ordering and I was excited... I bet I’ll move faster next time 😂
Thank you Jill! I'm sorry you lost so much of what you wanted. It really was a new experience this time. I am not sure how to make it better other than making more product. The wish list feature is so nice but did allow so many to get in and out really fast.
Missouri River Soap thank you for answering back, that’s so sweet. I wish I could have gotten more, but glad that you had such a great sale! I’m sure that’s a a big boost for a small business owner! Yes, next year you’ll have to bring in help, for the next rainbow extravaganza! I would love to help, if only I lived closer 😉
Thank you! We make plain soap meant to cleanse but they are not classified as antibacterial. Most antibacterial soaps are made with the addition of chemicals. I will add an interesting clip from an article via the FDA. Source: www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/antibacterial-soap-you-can-skip-it-use-plain-soap-and-water - Antibacterial soaps (sometimes called antimicrobial or antiseptic soaps) contain certain chemicals not found in plain soaps. Those ingredients are added to many consumer products with the intent of reducing or preventing bacterial infection. Many liquid soaps labeled antibacterial contain triclosan, an ingredient of concern to many environmental, academic and regulatory groups. Animal studies have shown that triclosan alters the way some hormones work in the body and raises potential concerns for the effects of use in humans. We don’t yet know how triclosan affects humans and more research is needed. “There’s no data demonstrating that these drugs provide additional protection from diseases and infections. Using these products might give people a false sense of security,” Michele says. “If you use these products because you think they protect you more than soap and water, that’s not correct. If you use them because of how they feel, there are many other products that have similar formulations but won’t expose your family to unnecessary chemicals. And some manufacturers have begun to revise these products to remove these ingredients.” How do you tell if a product is antibacterial? For OTC drugs, antibacterial products generally have the word “antibacterial” on the label. Also, a Drug Facts label on a soap or body wash is a sign a product contains antibacterial ingredients. -
I always enjoy the packing videos. One day soon I'll be able to order too. Kinda sad that the rainbow soap series is completed. ❤ P.S. The swing around was exciting!!
I'm sorry it sold out so quickly! I thought it would sell out but not quickly. Haha! It was a whirlwind for me. I have packed almost 150 orders at this point and I'm only 4 minutes into the release.
if you are asking what she means its a special line of rainbow inspired soaps, wax melts, etc. that she makes... its a release of the things she has made... and its EPIC
I did only put in one sample (a very specially designed yet labor intensive sample) because that customer only ordered two soaps. I have weight limits for shipping smaller orders and my larger samples weigh about 2 oz. Additionally, I mentioned that I was having to ration my samples because I received so many orders.
Missouri River Soap I knew you had a reason ☺️ I think it’s funny the things I notice because I like systematic order. Also, if you ever need a packer and you’re in Ga/Sc, I volunteer! Until then, I’ll just keep watching. 💕

I've been obsessively watching your pack and chats this week. I love watching these! Hope you're doing well! Love the release!!
I am so glad you love them. Thank you!

Thank you Sally!

OMG the Rainbow 🌈 cards and soaps are so amazing.....
Thank you! I had fun with them.
I agree! And the light blue paper made me think of the sky with a rainbow in it. Very well done!!😍🌈
Holly, People are always going to hate. You stay true to yourself and your love of soap making. I really enjoy your video's and your voice as well.
Thank you Mary! I sure appreciate your encouragement. I admit to being a big softy. I handle it fairly well most of the time but sometimes it all comes in so fast and furious that it does affect me deeply. I try not to...but I am a feeler. :-)

Holly I love the end part of this video!..
Something different is always fantastic Hun!...
I just love your channel & cant wait to have my soap delivered 💕
Thank you Leah! YAY! The camera was a bit choppier than usual but I decided to leave it in.
I Literally Obsessed Watching These Rainbow Soaps! So Fun To Watch. So Sad I Couldn’t Buy Any They We’re Sold Out Before I Could Log On. I Even Had Things In My Wishlist I Wanted Sooo Bad!! Lol Maybe Next Time! 💜
Thank you! I'm sorry it went so quickly.
Turned this on bc I started having a panic attack for the first time since breaking up with my boyfriend, and was all alone. I couldn’t think what else to do. You calmed me down before I had a full-fledged panic attack. Thank you.
Oh gosh, I'm so happy my video helped. My daughter had a panic attack last night and they sure are hard!
How exciting to sell out like that!! I hope everyone gave you grace for that, it certainly isn't your fault! Keep up the good work!
Thank you Margaret! I have had quite a lot of really angry people and they made sure I knew it too.
Missouri River Soap that’s too bad, you’re only one person!! ❤️❤️❤️
Mucho love. Looking forward to your next release holly!!!!!!!
Thank you! I will have restocks and Fall items coming in September! YAY!
Your extravaganza was spectacular Holly!! Congratulations! I mozied over to see how it was all doing on the night of the release and it was gonzo!! Although I was not surprised, I was actually happy and shocked it all sold out so quickly!! Fabulous job, well done!! 💞 👍👌
Thank you Nancy! We were so surprised!
Hey, my friend ❤
I was clicking as fast as I could to get the soaps, but you sold out just as fast as I could get to the checkout. I can say hallelujah that I was able to order something. Not to mention, I prayed that you would sell out and you did👐🏿👐🏿👐🏿👐🏿👐🏿
We love and appreciate you.❤❤

I also loved that she sold out even though I missed out on some favorites.
Awe thank you so much! Your very supportive comments have not gone unnoticed!
Your soaps are beautiful and you market them very well.
Thank you!
Thank you Holly for another great video xxx
Thank you Salli!
yay, another packing video! I make homemade soap too, but it has been a while since I made a batch. I have been watching soap making videos for years. I love when everyone shows all their soaps. I just love looking at homemade soap! yeah, I know, weird!!
Thank you! That's not weird at all! :-)
Honestly idek know your Hawaii customers but I love the support and dedication they show and provide, their boxes be what I wish I could get and that’s everything lol 😂❤️
Thank you! They're amazing. I've been blessed with many, amazing repeat customers.
no one packs a order better than you
Thank you Kyme! You have awesome packaging too!
You are such an inspiration and fun to watch! Thanks for being you and sharing what you do 🤗
Thank you! I appreciate that!
Love your videos. Sorry I missed out this time but boy everything went faster than I anticipated! But congratulations for that! I would love to request a restock sometime in the future of fresh linen and a eucalyptus when you can!! I just love the strong scents!! Thanks for all the videos!!🥰
That’s what I said. When I remembered it was too late! 😫 next time I’ll set up my alarm for sure.
Thank you Stacy! I'm sorry you missed out. It went way faster than I anticipated! I do have Iced Eucalyptus curing right now. I will bump Fresh Linen up on my list. I'm trying to do restocks first for the ones that are specifically requested. :-)
Missouri River Soap thank you so much you are an angel!!! Love those soaps!!!!
Very important that you don't lose your love of soap making!
You make such beautiful, artistic things.
One day when business is booming and shipping to Australia doesn't work out to $40 per bar I'll be your best customer!!
Ever since I saw your first video of 'chasing rainbows' it was the most beautiful soap I've ever seen. I hope one day I'll get to try it
Thank you! The international shipping is no fun. It works best to fill a box up, usually 6-8 bars.
Thanks so much for the video, the studio tour, the music and lifting the cover of the soap for a peak!
Thank you for watching! I still haven't cut that soap!
Why is this so satisfying?
Haha thank you!
I think the Pear Bears are the bees knees! I’m so excited to melt mine!!
Awesome! Thank you!
On the salt soap I wonder if the steaming melted the salt in it and if it may have gotten rid of the ash but maybe the salt left a ash like residue.
I wondered that too. However, the soaps that didn't have much ash to start with didn't really change much after steaming. But it could have been the length of time I steamed them because I wouldn't have spent that much time on the low ash ones.

When I make the videos, I don't always speak every last part of my thought process. LOL But I know since most of my watchers are soap makers, you all have good and helpful thoughts too. :-)
This is so relaxing to watch.
Thank you!
Oh no! The ash came back with vengeance! I hate it when that happens!
Haha! It really did!
I wanted so badly to get my hands on a few of these soaps! I was so prepared, I even had a list of exactly what I wanted to make checkout faster lol! Unfortunately, I had a couple things come up so I forgot and by the time I remembered, everything I wanted was snatched up! Next release I will not miss out lol!
Thank you for wanting to buy. I'm sorry it sold out so quickly.
@@moriversoap I should have been quicker it's my own fault lol! I am super glad though for you that your items sell out so quickly ♥️💙
I am so excited! I keep looking at the shop app for my order to change status. I know it will take time but I am so happy I was able ti get my hands on some products.

Beautiful soaps! Congratulations on such a successful release! I'm hoping we'll see Maple Leaves making a come-back this Fall...
Thank you! YES...I made sure that Maples Leaves would be back this year!
Missouri River Soap Oh Yay!!!! I’m so excited for it! Can’t wait!!
rubbing alcohol sprits removes ash for me :D always love your videos!
I do use rubbing alcohol on all my batches and use it quite liberally to boot. Sometimes you just can't defeat the ash.
“The ash that was there came back and invited all of it’s ashy friends.” 😂😂😂😂
I watch these like 3 times because I always miss something (I have a 2 year old). I totally missed that the first time around and I am cracking up right now. 😂😂😂
Haha! That's funny!
Inspiration:) thank you Holly, as usual fun and beautiful, many blessings
Thank you Karen!
This was my first time buying from you and I was super pleased. I personally can't use your soap because of an allergy but my mom loves them 💕
Thank you Bethany! I am so glad. I'm sorry about your allergy though...darn it!
I was so excited and had been waiting to order for months. I had all my favorites ready to order and as a EMT you go when needed. I missed everything but 1 soap 😭, im not going to lie, I actually cried ( one of those straw on camels back things) but i was sooooo happy for Holly that this sale went so good, what a blessing ( congratulations girl, you rocked it). Im excited to get my order that I was able to get and look forward to planning more for the next rainbow sale.
Awe I'm sorry Stephanie. I can understand the 'straw on a camels back' situation. I think we're all just getting so tired and as an EMT, you are surely extra stressed. I'll be thinking about you! Thank you for ordering what you could. I appreciate it.
Your bath fizzies/bombs are my favorite~ I pretty much only buy them from you lol
REALLY?!? That makes me so happy Trishna!!
Holly, you are the absolute best!
Thank you Heidi!
Amazing as always !!!
Thank you!
I took a break and I come back and 3 packing video's.. holy moly 😍😍😍
Ha! Thank you!
Your repeat customers should already know this release would go fast. I am so happy I was able to get my sugar scrub. I hope you didn't pack my order yet. I plan to get two more jars. If you have I don't need free samples. You give always so much.
Thank you Penny! You are just the best. I saw your new order combine and will combine everything. :-)
I love the design on your apron. Did you make it or could you point me in the direction for where I can get it?
I was surprised how fast the rainbow stuff sold out. I looked when if first came available, but as I was at work, I didn't order anything. I get home and everything was gone!!! I just wanted some wax melts and maybe a "macaroon" for my daughter. (I figured the soaps would all be gone. They looked amazing.) Wow!
Love watching your pack and chats.
Thank you Emily! I'm sorry you missed out. That's no fun at all. The apron is from joyfulpine.com but she hasn't made them in many years.
Just received your soaps from this released! They smell so good 😁 my daughter loves watching your videos!
Wonderful! Thank you Nadia!!
I love watching your pack and chats the most! =) i hope to get your soaps one day as a fellow soaper =)
Thank you Molly!
So happy for your success!!! Keep up the great work!! :)
Thank you!
I'm so excited! My order is expected to arrive tomorrow. :D
YAY! That's so awesome. Thank you!
Yay!!!! I can’t wait for my order!! 💃🏼
Thank you Andrea!
Your room must smell amazing...lol
Oh it does!
I am so upset to the fact that I literally missed the shop ☹️I have everything ready on my wish list and was waiting for the time for the shop to open overslept and by the time I got to the shop everything was sold out 😭😢 you are extremely a good soak maker for your shop to be sold out in a couple of hours 🤯😥 is a beautiful thing even though I missed out once again. 🤦🏽♀️💯 😎
Thank you Regina! I am still shocked at how fast everything sold. I used to experience this many years ago but it calmed for a long time.
😭 I have to wait 2 yrs., but I’m happy it was a success.👌
Maybe Holly can do them next year too :D
So far, I've only done it twice...two years apart. I do make rainbow products all through the year though. The Extravaganza is just the only time I make them all at once. :-) It took nearly a year to make the Rainbow Extravaganza happen. I started planning and purchasing the supplies I would need around the Fall season last year and started creating after I'd made restocks following the Holiday season.

Hi holy I just wanted to tell you how much I love watching you video's ,you do an amazing job 🌈🌺💖
Thank you Anthea!
Hello Holly I love your channel. How many bars of each soap do you usually make? Just curious.
Thank you Faith! It really depends. My happy batch size is 50 bars but I do make around 100 bars for my more popular soaps. I don't mind making huge batches occasionally and will do so when needed. However, when I make huge batches for everything, it gets very physically and financially limiting and it's just not that much fun anymore. I scaled up for a while and I didn't love making soap and so I found myself actually not making soap. That is why I came back down to the 50 bars.
I got on at 6 minutes after and almost everything was gone. So, I grab two things , wrote you a quick note, and went to pay and both of those had sold out!!! I was only able to get one of one thing that was left. It’s my first time ordering and I was excited... I bet I’ll move faster next time 😂
Thank you Jill! I'm sorry you lost so much of what you wanted. It really was a new experience this time. I am not sure how to make it better other than making more product. The wish list feature is so nice but did allow so many to get in and out really fast.
Missouri River Soap thank you for answering back, that’s so sweet. I wish I could have gotten more, but glad that you had such a great sale! I’m sure that’s a a big boost for a small business owner! Yes, next year you’ll have to bring in help, for the next rainbow extravaganza! I would love to help, if only I lived closer 😉
hi is your soap anti bacterial? just wondering i love these videos! x
Thank you! We make plain soap meant to cleanse but they are not classified as antibacterial. Most antibacterial soaps are made with the addition of chemicals. I will add an interesting clip from an article via the FDA.
Source: www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/antibacterial-soap-you-can-skip-it-use-plain-soap-and-water
- Antibacterial soaps (sometimes called antimicrobial or antiseptic soaps) contain certain chemicals not found in plain soaps. Those ingredients are added to many consumer products with the intent of reducing or preventing bacterial infection.
Many liquid soaps labeled antibacterial contain triclosan, an ingredient of concern to many environmental, academic and regulatory groups. Animal studies have shown that triclosan alters the way some hormones work in the body and raises potential concerns for the effects of use in humans. We don’t yet know how triclosan affects humans and more research is needed.
“There’s no data demonstrating that these drugs provide additional protection from diseases and infections. Using these products might give people a false sense of security,” Michele says. “If you use these products because you think they protect you more than soap and water, that’s not correct. If you use them because of how they feel, there are many other products that have similar formulations but won’t expose your family to unnecessary chemicals. And some manufacturers have begun to revise these products to remove these ingredients.”
How do you tell if a product is antibacterial? For OTC drugs, antibacterial products generally have the word “antibacterial” on the label. Also, a Drug Facts label on a soap or body wash is a sign a product contains antibacterial ingredients. -
I always enjoy the packing videos. One day soon I'll be able to order too. Kinda sad that the rainbow soap series is completed. ❤
P.S. The swing around was exciting!!
Thank you! I am glad you enjoy the videos!
I refreshed the page (what I thought) constantly and it continued to say sold out. I'm sad! 😭 Next time! 😁
I'm sorry it sold out so quickly! I thought it would sell out but not quickly. Haha! It was a whirlwind for me. I have packed almost 150 orders at this point and I'm only 4 minutes into the release.
Where do you get the beautiful rainbow thank you cards?
I designed them specifically for that release. Thank you!
Where were the stickers ordered from?
I got these ones from Sticker Mule. They make a dandy hot sauce too. ;-)
I never get to order 😔
I missed out as well 😭
I'm sorry Sonya! I sure don't like it when someone misses out. It's not my goal at all.
I'm sorry you did @Maria Morales. It's just a bummer.
Yayyyy
Thank you Donna!
Where do you sell, your products??
Our website is moriversoap.com. The shop is currently closed to revamp the site, build stock, etc..
Happy for your success, but sad I didn't get any again 😔
Thank you! I'm sorry you missed out. Darn it!
I can’t believe I missed it😢
Ugh! It wasn't hard to miss...it all sold so fast!
😭😭😭😭😭😭 I missed out! Damn timelines 😢
Darn it! I'm sorry!
What is the Rainbow Extravaganza?
if you are asking what she means its a special line of rainbow inspired soaps, wax melts, etc. that she makes... its a release of the things she has made... and its EPIC
Thank you for answering Kim!
@@moriversoap anytime😊👍
What am I watching.... packing shipments is one of my favorite things.
And then when the third package got 1 instead of 2 samples... 💔
I did only put in one sample (a very specially designed yet labor intensive sample) because that customer only ordered two soaps. I have weight limits for shipping smaller orders and my larger samples weigh about 2 oz. Additionally, I mentioned that I was having to ration my samples because I received so many orders.
Missouri River Soap I knew you had a reason ☺️ I think it’s funny the things I notice because I like systematic order.
Also, if you ever need a packer and you’re in Ga/Sc, I volunteer! Until then, I’ll just keep watching. 💕
