Preparations for the New England Made Show

 What greater fun can there be than working together getting soap ready for a big trade show?  When there is a lot of soap to wrap or label, you can be sure that there will be several of us working on it.
This month, one of the big changes that took place in our soap business was the re-designing of all our labels!  It was so much fun! When the boxes arrived, we went through each one and compared the labels - new to old.   We were so thankful for all the time and effort that the Lenspiration team put into re-designing the labels!

  So... Once the labels were finished at the printers, Nathaniel drove an hour and-a-half away to pick them up.  That left us with two days to wrap and label all the soaps, lip balms, and lotions for the show.  Everyone pitched in to help!  We had shelves of soap on the kitchen island, on the dining room table and on tables in the soap room...everywhere!  Most of Wednesday and Thursday were spent getting ready for the "New England Made" wholesale show in Maine and by mid-morning Friday, Nathan and Mom were off to Portland, ME.

                                                                                 

Everyone even down to the grand-children wanted to help!
