On the Interview Couch with Jamie Myers & Sarah Scott
Let's first meet Jamie owner of Owner of JMae's Soaps and
Candles.
1. Tell us about the products you make?
I started out making cupcake soaps and bar soaps;
which eventually lead me into bath bombs; then I got request to make candles I
thought hmm that’s not very bath and body related but I guess if you want to
light a candle while you relax in your tub they could go hand in hand. So I now
offer along with soaps, lotions, sugar scrubs, bath bombs; Candles loafs, pies,
chunks, tarts, and clamshells. Candles in 4oz, 8oz, and 16oz.
2. How often have you done craft shows? I have only done one and that was
on December 8th, 2012.
3. What are the positive & negative of going to these shows?
Positive: Get your business name out there; get
new customers or clientele. Meet new people that maybe share the same passion
you do. Having Fun.
Negative: You might not sell anything, you might
make back what you spent to participate in the show. You might have not enough
stock or too much.
4. Do you have any advice for crafter/home business wanting to do craft
shows?
Do It! I was so nervous but I met a ton of nice
people and they were helpful and gave me advice. You’ll get the hang of it once
you do more and more.
5. Is there
anything you are working on now?
Whipped Wax for on top of my pies and loafs and Fluted Tarts (single
tarts) and sampler packs as well.
I also have a group on facebook called JMae’s Soaps & Candles
which anyone may join if interested we talk about scent blends, and new ideas,
and just are a little wax family.

1.Tell us how you got started? I started "Sweet Soap Bakery" a year ago after my Husband lost his job, and I was a Stay at Home mommy at that time for twelve years. I was always Crafty, and Loved seeing handmade Soaps at Craft shows etc, and I saw it as a wonderful way to give me a socializtion, but to also make some extra money for my family, but most importantly, a way for me to still be able to stay at home with my Daughters. (Who are the Absolute BEST Darling Divas around, just saying!) Currently, I am striving to make Sweet Soap Bakery a Success due to the fact that my thirteen year marriage has come to an end.
