And of course I am scared. Not of the actual surgery, but of all the pain I will be in afterwards for the next few days. I'm pretty tolerable of pain, but I am beginning to doubt myself. I have been hearing from those that have had it that I will be in extreme pain. Luckily for me they'll give me a nerve block that will last about 12 hours.

It's 7am right now. I am getting a few last minute things done before I leave here in a few hours. I have to be there at 11:30am and it starts at 12:30pm.

Well, I'm off.

Whew! We finally got everything out and they are all on their way out. If you didn't get a shipping notice, email us, we'll gladly provide it.

Tomorrow I will not be available after all via email or phone. My circuit breaker/panel is being replaced. It was melting and popping noises were coming out of it. Bc of it getting replaced, I will be without electricity for the entire day tomorrow (Wednesday June 25th). Ugh, I am NOT looking forward to it, it's hot here. But I will be Thursday.

My surgery is fast approaching. I'm getting nervous. My dr says I'll be in a lot of pain for the first few days and this is scaring me. I tend to be very tolerable of pain, at least I thought I was. My tolerance will be quickly tested.

Luckily my MIL will be here to help out around the house with the kids, etc.

Well, I hope everyone has a wonderful evening!

Please note that I am still working on getting Paypal shipping requests out. I have a few adjustments to make due to out of stock items, so it's taking me a little bit longer, just by a day. It's just me getting the requests to you with the right adjustments or refunds coming to you for items not in stock.

Thank you!

Yes, we are already having a sale, but it's going to change, this weekend only!

This weekend only, beginning NOW and ending Sunday at Midnight Pacific Time, with any purchase of $75.00 or more, get 30% off your entire order.

This is one of our biggest sales this year ever!

As Johanna mentioned before, she is going to have surgery in 2 weeks. We've been getting many emails about people worrying when we'll reopen. Yes we will be reopening in July, NO DOUBT ABOUT IT!! :D But, she needs to recover from her surgery. So...to ease your worries, we thought we'd offer 30% off $75.00 so that you can stock up on your favorites or best sellers until we reopen next month.

All next week we will be shipping orders out daily to ensure everything gets out before we close.

Please remember, this sale does NOT apply to Pre Buy items, out of stock items, fragrance of the week, sampler packs, back ordered items. If an item becomes out of stock, we will not charge you for that item and your order will ship without. There will be no back orders on any items.

Happy Soaping!!!

Hi everyone,

I haven't had much time to post.

I wanted to let you in on something.

Many of you may recall I was in a car accident back in September. I
have been going to physical therapy for my injuries. My neck has gotten
better, but my shoulder has not. After months of treatment, no
improvement, xrays and an MRI, it has been determined I have a torn
rotator cuff and severe inflammation.

As a result of this, I am going to have surgery. The pain is becoming
unbearable for me. It affects my life, my family and my work. I can't
drive too much, I can barely write, I can barely type and I can't soap
too much either! I had to pass down the job of making bath bombs,
cupcakes and bubble bars (something I've always
enjoyed so much!). And I can't sleep well since I am in constant pain.

The surgery entails a 2" incision on my shoulder, shaving off bone
spurs, and either stitching the muscle back to my bone or screwing,
depending upon the severity. They will not know until they are in
there.

Because of this, Soap Silly B&B and Soap Silly WS will be closed for 2-4
weeks (this depends on how well I'm feeling as it's my right shoulder
and I am right handed, possibly longer). My surgery is scheduled for June 27th (just
around the corner). Recovery takes up to 2 months, but my dr said I can
begin driving, etc after one week if all goes well, it'll just be limited. I'm
not coming back to work after one week. After my last surgery I was
back to work the day after I came home from the hospital and to this day
I regret not letting myself recover fully. Not to mention the nasty emails I received since we were late on fulfilling orders after the surgery.

Because of my experience with my last, emergency surgery
(the appendectomy back in Oct) I've learned quite a bit. Be prepared!

We are closing beginning June 20th. We will reopen either the 7th, 14th or 21st of July. Again, depends on how I'm feeling. But will definitely be in July.

I know it's just a short 2 weeks away for closure and 3 for my surgery,
but my dr insists the sooner the better since I've been dealing with
chronic pain for nearly 9 months now.

Just so you all know, Soap Silly will NOT be closing permanently. This
is a temporary closure. We're not going anywhere [;)] . I'm giving Pam
the time off as well since she does not handle payments ie; Paypal,
credit cards.

During the closure we will not be available via email or phone. I am
taking this time to completely recover.

We are closing a week before my surgery so that I can ensure all orders
get out and arrive fine. During the first week I will be available via
email only, limited. After the 26th, I will not be available as my surgery is on the 27th.

This was a tough decision for me to make, as I did not want surgery, but
with the amount of pain I am in, there is no other fix for it. I am
looking forward to a pain free life once again, where I can enjoy my
life, my work and my family.

Although our site will be open, our shop will not after the 20th, noon pst.
Orders placed during our closure, will be processed in the order in
which they were received, with the same shipping policy, Tuesdays and
Thursdays only. Again, reopening will depend highly on my recovery
process. I will keep you posted on which week we reopen.

If you place your order of $50.00 or more before we close, you'll get a
discount of 20%, spend $100.00 or more and get the discount, plus free
shipping. Sales begins now and ends on June 19th, midnight Pacific Standard time.

The cart will reflect the discount. State "SURGERY" in the comments
section and we'll also add FREE samples to your order.

The discount does NOT apply to fragrance of the week, sampler packs,
back ordered items, pre buy items or out of stock items. If an item
becomes out of stock, we will not charge you for that item and your
order will ship without it.

Thank you for your understanding and for your loyalty to Soap Silly.
Without you, we wouldn't be here.

Hugs to all!

Johanna
