Hello Everyone! This past Sunday marked a huge milestone for All The Way Handmade. We finally finished the massive orders of gift baskets for the season! Packed inside were of course one or two of my Winter Artisan Soaps (depending on how many people the basket was for), homemade Rocky Road candy (my recipe uses crunchy peanut butter and it is the BEST!), homemade Rice Krispie Treats, Andes mints, candy canes, and a decorative kitchen towel for the bigger ones. Although I would have loved to make the mints and candy canes, I can occasionally cook and bake but chocolatier...

Hello! After the first blast of holiday madness, I'm finally back in the lab where I belong. We had an amazing time showing at the Hacienda Holiday Faire in Moraga, CA! We are so lucky to have been part of such a wonderful event with so many talented handmade merchants celebrating the kickoff of the holidays. Considering it was only the Faire's third fundraising event at the historical La Hacienda de las Flores site, there was a constant bustling crowd moving from room to room. Quite the encouraging thought! Although I am happy to say that a lot of each...

Announcing the All The Way Handmade Winter 2017 Collections!   Yes, I've been MIA for a few weeks, but all for a good cause. After a few happy accidents (and a few not-so-happy), the Winter Collections are here and will be available the second week of December! I'm very proud of each artisan soap that is in this collection. Every single bar got individual attention to make the most of this Frosted Season!   Frosted Garden - Women's Collection Each one slightly sweet, lightly floral, and briskly frosty. Somehow you've found the most delicate of flowers that have lasted this long...

I have finally returned from my adventure to the far away land of TwitchCon 2017! After rushing the Expo Hall, attending panels, meeting people and personalities, and hiding out from the heat, I would say it was a very successful first time attending this convention. My best experiences were getting to attend live panels for Maze Arcana, Acquisitions Incorporated - The "C" Team, and Dice, Camera, Action DnD livestream panels. Each of them were a riot to watch in their own right, even with a crowd provoked response of "green flame!" that didn't seem at all pre-planned. Interested? All of them can be viewed on the...

I am so happy to announce that I am attending TwitchCon 2017 in Long Beach, CA! My favorite thing to do in life (other than make delicious little soaps and game!) is to attend festivals/conventions/fairs! As I was browsing the event schedule, of all serendipitous things, I found another group of ladies who is making gaming a major part of their life - wonderfully named "Girls, Guts, Glory"! They do live D&D gaming sessions every Sunday at 3pm and I am so glad that they are going to be not only attending, but putting on a live session while I'm...
