What is this? Some kind of delectable fudge? Super-yummy chocolate chip cookies?!? Are you drooling yet? Well, cut it out because this is no cookie...it's soap! Lisa, the creator of this treat-for-your-skin, is just as sweet. Last week she scoped out the items that one of her Etsy friends had "favorited" and found one of my washi papers, then had me send it to her friend as a surprise. What a doll!Here is what Lisa, who has been a featured seller on Etsy, had to say about her amazing soaps:
"My name is Lisa -- I live just outside of San Francisco, but I'm a NY native. I'm married to an amazing guy named Mike -- the love of my life. For work, I'm a computer technician and soapstress -- two full time jobs that take a lot of dedication.
I grew up in an Italian American household, where creating things for others -- specifically cooking for others -- was a way to show love and caring. I use that approach to my crafting. I start with a recipe. I sit down at my computer, with my cookbooks and take a look at what makes a delicious dish. Then I consider, how can I translate that to soap? What kinds of spices, petals, colorings, scents should I use -- what kind of texture, design, feeling, can I evoke with a bar of soap?"

I am sure they smell just as enticing as a treat to eat!
She makes them with real chocolate! Still not for eating, but.....
Lisa has my FAVORITE shop on Etsy! I adore every soap she's ever made, and I have quite the collection! I'm so proud of all of her work, and being a featured seller!
And, Lisa, THANKS again for the gift. :)
