Well! Look at how time has flown without a post from Mio! Forgive me!!!

I just let the cat out of the bag on the site...

Emma's Friends soaps, lotions and shampoos are going to be in each guest room at Shawnee Inn and Golf Resorts. Um...YEAH!

This has been in the works for months, but we are approaching the delivery date of our first round of monthly goods at the end of this week. That might help explain why I've been a little MIA for the last few months. Ramping up to fill 100 guest rooms with two bars of soap, a lotion and shampoo for the daily guests at Shawnee as been something of a task.

But, you should see our Friends! They are awesome!!! We have had as many as 20 at a time wrapping soaps - what a site! Need to take picts, I know, I know!

They have also mastered our new labeling machine and are working on their technique on our amazing filling machine. It has four heads which dive down into the bottles to fill each one with either lotion or shampoo. A company in North Carolina custom built it for us and recently delivered and installed it. It has been quite a learning curve to go from hand filling and labeling to using the filling machine. With the compressor and switches, timers for filling and other variable settings to manage, it's been keeping us busy. But, we are filling fools now! : )

So, while I have been absent from the blog and other social encounters, it's not because we've been lollygagging.

Okay, back to it... we've got a busy summer ahead! Thanks Shawnee and general manager Rob Howell for believing in us...

Best,
Lynn
