Guest guest Posted July 28, 2001 Report Share Posted July 28, 2001 <<So what have you heard about Synthroid?? takes is everyday. Green mom to 18/ds>> So does Ted. Since 1 week old. I think that because it is one ot the " older " drugs that it has to be approved or re-approved. something about a grand father clause. I also did not catch all of the news. anyone else hear anything? I guess I should call the ped. Gail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2001 Report Share Posted July 28, 2001 Hi Katy! I live up in Ontario, Just east of Rochester. You have a supplier rightnear you! http://www.olivetreesoaps.com/ Her name is Kae and she is super nice person. She is in Naples also. Welcome to the list!! Shaye The Soap Shack www.mysoapshack.com introduction Hi everyone.....I guess it's time that I quit lurking and introduce myself. I received an email from Kim a couple of weeks ago inviting me to join and since then I've been so busy that I haven't taken the time to sit down and post. My name is Katy and I have a very small soap business called Naples Creek Soaps & Sundries. I'm located in Naples (NY of course) and mainly just sell my product at craft shows and from my website. I do have my soaps in 2 gift shops (co-ops) but haven't really done wholesale yet. Soapmaking has been my hobby and passion since 1998 but, unfortunately, I have a full time job (gotta pay for those soap supplies!) that keeps me very busy as well. I do most of my soaping on weekends but try and get a few batches in during those late nights in the week when I've got time to myself. I'm divorced with 2 daughters (12 and 16) and have been engaged for about 7 years! My fiance' and I have been together for almost 10 years now, have built a house together (that we now live in) and may even be considered married by common law. :-)One of these days we will have that wedding. I've been reading everyones messages and sure wish I could have made the gathering. Sounded like a lot of fun. I looked at the map but it's still hard to tell just where everyone is from. A few from Rochester maybe? I know Kim is in Leicester which isn't far from me and I drive through there everyday to go to work. I've been getting almost all of my supplies online so if anyone has any hints on suppliers close to me (or Rochester even), I would be forever greatful. The shipping kills me. Nice to " meet " you all!

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2001 Report Share Posted July 28, 2001 SMALL WORLD!!! Yes, is my hubby! I read your note to him and he was amazed! " I know her! She's so nice! " I'm so glad you like my soap. Thimbleberry Hill is going strong! I've opened a shop on Main Street in Geneseo. I give classes out of the shop also. Right now I'm thinking of adding soaping supplies. Do you think there's enough call around here? Lizz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2001 Report Share Posted July 28, 2001 Thank you everyone for the warm welcome. Shaye, I looked at your website and realized that I found you out there awhile ago while surfing and was so impressed with your site. I love the " earthy/natural " look! It's beautiful! Thank you also for the link to Olive Tree Soaps. With Naples being such a small town, you'd think we'd have run into each other before! I'll have to look her up the next time I'm in need of some butters. Also, Lizz, I just saw your posting and was wondering if your company name is Thimbleberry Hill? If so, your soap is what I was buying before I started making my own. Well, I'll confess, I still buy it when I come across it! It's excellent soap! I first started using handmade soap about 6 years ago when my fiance's mother sent me some from British Columbia. I shopped around until I found Thimbleberry Hill and then stayed with that. Are you any relation to Pete Savard? If so, it's a very small world! I work for BOCES in computer support and we do a lot of work at Livonia school where Pete is technology coordinator. Of course we're not there very often as he pretty much has everything under control! We like that but still love to come to Livonia once in awhile. I think I'm going to enjoy this list. It's nice to talk to other soapers from the area. Thanks again for the welcome everyone!

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2001 Report Share Posted July 28, 2001 Wow, Lizz! Are postings must have crossed. Must be you are the maker of my favorite soap! Nice to finally " meet " . :-) Once again, I've got to say, your soap is incredible. You should be proud.

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2001 Report Share Posted July 28, 2001 Well I always wondered if the person on the back of those soap labels was any relation of his but I never got around to asking. Very cool! Now he can defend me when all the guys at work pick on me for making my own soap! :-) I drive through Geneseo quite often but rarely go down Main St. That's great news that you've got a shop there now. Congratulations! I've been asked by the shop owner at Village Gifts in Fairport if I'd ever give classes there but I'm just not outgoing enough to teach. She still asks once in awhile though (that's one of the shops that I have my soap in). I would be very interested in purchasing supplies from you if you ever decide to carry them. Please let me know! I have my buckets of Coconut and Palm shipped in from Columbus Foods and the shipping cost is terrible. About the only thing I'm getting locally is Olive Oil, lye, beeswax and now maybe butters from Olive Tree. Essential Oils and Fragrance Oils would be great also (but maybe I'm being greedy)! Very nice meeting you. Tell Pete I said hello. Katy Naples Creek Soaps & Sundries www.naplescreeksoaps.com > SMALL WORLD!!! Yes, is my hubby! I read your note to him and he was > amazed!

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2001 Report Share Posted July 28, 2001 Katy, thanks for the compliment on my site! What places do you have your soaps in? I need to get my nerve up, get out and get some local accounts (have gotten some across the country but not local). Right now I have a booth at LW Emporium which is doing really well, and just sell online. TTYL Shaye The Soap Shack www.mysoapshack.com Re: introduction Thank you everyone for the warm welcome.

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2001 Report Share Posted July 28, 2001 I am very fortunate with tim also, I can take him almost anywhere and be guaranteed reasonable behaviour, sometimes really good, sometimes less than that but rarely the type of behaviour that would make me not take him back, it has happened but it is rare. On the other hand I have a son (now 13 ) without the benefit of any label for learning or behavioural difficulties (other than 'neurotic first time mother' ) that I stopped taking anywhere after about his first 3 months becoz he simply couldn't cope with crowds, strangers and new situations. I had to peel him off me every morning for years, until he was 7, even going to school. But becoz he is very bright and he was my first, his problems were waved off by professionals as him being highly strung, he was frustrated becoz he was bright, he was frustrated becoz I didn't know how to control him, he couldn't cope becoz I was making him that way, he couldn't cope becoz he didn't sleep well, he had paddies up to 7-8 times a day, lying on the floor, kicking and screaming, throwing things, slamming doors, turning blue, he had them at home, in parks, in supermarkets, at my parents house, when his friends were there, at school. he was an utter nightmare. So I thank God that tim and naomi were not my first children too or they no doubt would have been the same!! Its amazing really, my daughter at 10 years old has had less paddies in 10 years than ben had a day until he was 7 ish! She was born calm, heaven only knows how as ben stressed me out big time the whole time I was carrying her and tim, tho not genetically related came into this situation with an out of control 7 year old brother and didn't pick up on it. So, I have undying sympathy for all those people out there who have kids who can't tolerate change and strange situations. The one advantage you have over me at the time is that having a child with a label makes it understandable in the eyes of educators and medical people for your child to be like this, Ben was simply the product of parental mishandling or so I was told. He is tho now the most delightful teenage one could wish for, got all that rebellion out of him early!!

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2001 Report Share Posted July 28, 2001 AS to the questions about groups... there is a group fairly near to us and I have attended a few meetings.... though sometimes I had to make a choice between attending the Down syndrome interest group and my older son's parent/school association meeting..... I have to try and give to both children and on top of it... the meetings would start at 7:30 which does not sound so bad except many nights I do not get home until 7 and that means I need to get everyone right out the door and hope to get to the meeting on time.... the internet is just so much easier and immediate... and it doesn;t matter if I ask the question at noon or at 3 in the morning....

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2001 Report Share Posted July 28, 2001 For anyone interested in organizing a Buddy Walk in your area there is a handbook available from NDSS....go to www.NDSS.org and request one, there may be a cost, we received ours last year at no cost as affiliates and will have update insert pages for this year to add. We could write a book with what we have learned through the last five walks. I did the first wallk here the second year that NDSS held their walk. It was a quick put together that saw about 75 walkers. Last year it had grown to 450 plus. We are just so excited about this year. I encourage everyone to find a Buddy Walk near you, or just come to Belton, Texas the first Sunday in October and walk with us :0) God Bless, GW, Down's But Not Out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
