Update on Life

Hello Students!

Just to give everyone an update, we are slowly settling in to life in Mississippi. Both Alyssa and I have found jobs at UMMC, the largest teaching hospital in the state, and we are adjusting to the culture shock. No huge bugs yet (much). :)

Which brings us to the bad news. Due to the constraints of the probation period of our new jobs, we are unable to make it back to California to teach the October 18th classes at The Learning Exchange. When we called to notify them, they said they would keep the classes open and find someone else to teach them, but we will not be teaching at Learning Exchange on October 18th. Learning Exchange recently changed ownership, so we don't know how that will affect the classes we teach there in the future at this point.

We have rescheduled our trip tentatively for the middle of January, possible Martin Luther King Jr. weekend. We know that might be a little difficult for some of you since it's around a holiday, but it will allow us to capitalize on how much time we get to spend in California. We will be sending out more info as we get plans more finalized, and of course be posting that info on the blog as well. We don't know yet if we will be teaching at Learning Exchange or another venue but will let you know as it gets closer.

We are also starting to build up our supplies again, so if anyone needs any supplies, or if you have any questions as you are working on your creations during the upcoming holidays, please feel free to drop us a line. We'd love to hear from all of you!

Safe and Sound

Well, we made it safe and sound to Mississippi, and have been settling in nicely here.  We already miss all of you and are busy planning our classes for October when we come back to Sacramento for a visit, so keep an eye on this and your email to see more details on that in the coming months.

In the meantime, if anyone needs supplies, we are still doing them via mail order, so please feel free to email us for that.  We are also kicking around ideas about doing an email recipe club or something, so please continue to send us your emails if you ever have questions or need help troubleshooting anything.

Hope you all have a safe and wonderful 4th of July!

2nd Offering of Advanced Soap Boot Camp Opened

Due to a large demand for our Advanced Soapmaking Boot Camp, we have tentatively opened a second session of the camp on March 15th.  Currently, the March 1st class is full, but if we get 5 or more students to sign up, we can hold class on the 15th. 

We are extending the early bird discount for signing up early by one week, to February 8th.  Balance of the class fee will be due March 3rd. 

If you are interested in attending on the 15th, please sign up ASAP so the class doesn't get cancelled if we have less than 5 students sign up.  To sign up, simply send us an email message, and we'll arrange for you to pay your deposit.  Additional details as always are available on the Boot Camp details page.
