DEDICATION & ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
This book is dedicated to my husband, Chris Renoud. Being married to an
entrepreneur is filled with highs and lows, and during the process of writing this
book, he took on extra duty at home with our two children and busy household
so I could write, soap, edit, and soap some more. My mom and dad have always
been there to lend a helping hand throughout my entire entrepreneurial journey
and this part of it was no exception. Thank you for letting me bounce ideas off of
you and always supporting me.
My team at Bramble Berry is one of the great joys of my life. They do the hard
stuff so that I can be creative and focus on all things handmade. I could not do
this job without them nor would I want to. A big shout-out to my assistant Caitlin
who kept all the recipes, ingredients, colorants, and techniques organized during
this writing and testing process.
Finally, thank you to the dedicated group of brand new soapers who tested each
recipe in this book to ensure that they would produce amazing bars of soap each
and every time.
