New member introduction.

Hello, everyone. I'm a new member. I make handmade soaps that I sell online and at my local city market under the name Rebecca's Soap Delicatessen. I have a BA in fine art and started out in retail. I then sort of fell into soapmaking while taking some time off as a stay at home mom when I was diagnosed with agoraphobia.

I am 33 and will be married 8 years in June. My husband is a computer programmer. A month ago he created a new site for handmade artists to promote their work called ByHand.me. The site is entirely non-profit with all ad revenue going back into ads to support the community. We've donated a lot of our own money to purchase a server and to run additional ads as well to help bring in buyers for the members of ByHand. I've spent more time promoting member shops lately than I have my own, but the goal is to try to help everyone be successful.

Personally I like to read and enjoy paranormal fiction and historical fiction the most. I also like television dramas and paranormal based shows. I was really sad to see Moonlight go. I am a big fan of HBO's True Blood though - and have long been an avid reader of Charlaine Harris' books - and Showtime's The Tudors and US of Tara.
