Who IS Mbell34? Well, come and find out....

Mbell34 is none other than... Michelle Bell, married almost 20 yrs and is the mom of three teenagers. (here is where we send our thoughts and hugs to her!! heeh)

What does Mbell34 do? Well she has done jewelry for almost 3 yrs., soap 5 months, i am now doing soy candles.( She just listed them today :)



This delicate piece is sterling silver. The pendant and necklace are available now at mbell34.etsy.com !!

When asked what insipres her she says: "The inspiration comes from the heart. I love to make pretty things for other people."

Her most favorite thing is to make soap. She"loves the designs, colors and scents. You can do so much with soap."

Is Etsy her full time job.. Nope.. Etsy is Michelle's side project, She has a full time job outside of Etsy.



Soap that looks delicious enough to eat!

On finding Etsy? "I just stumbled upon etsy looking for something in google years ago, but never opened a shop until a year ago."

As for Etsy Chat... Michelle told me "Etsy chat is awesome! I meet so many wonderful artists in there from all over, everybody is friendly and will to help at the drop of a hat. I have been addicted as soon as I started in the chatrooms."

Her favorite piece that she has done is the peppermint/cranberry massage soap that is in mbell34.etsy.com now. The aromas and the colors are what grabs her most about the soaps.



~When I went browsing her shop, I found the peppermint cranberry layered soap Michelle referred to. So. Very. Beautiful. !

Michelle also chares a love for an amazing shop here on Etsy. She says that her favorite shop is none other than... Heathenshearth.Etsy.Com

Michelle's tips for other artists are to be patient and kind to other people, let your creations come from the heart and do what you love to do!


(This custom piece was made for a fellow Etsian. It is a beautiful representation of Michelle's creativity.)

Does Michelle have any secrets?? SURE~! She loves to be pampered! She loves to be waited on. She LOVES "ME" Time... (see that hubby of Michelle!! Take note)

Michelle's parting words of wisdom=just love yourself and everybody else will too :)

What would a promo / feature post be without a great giveaway?

    Your soaps are all so beautiful. I would choose the sandalwood goats milk soap because I love that scent.

    I love the almond biscotti! Anything that smells like food is ok by me! Her soap is beautiful and does smell wonderful. Can scent an entire room by itself.

    There are some beautiful soaps in there! But I love how intriguing the combination of the Tea Tree and Oatmeal soap sounds!

    Beautiful soaps! It's a tough call on my favorite scent because they all sound awesome, but I think the cranberry peppermint is my top pick with the almond biscotti coming in a close 2nd.

    Oooh, it's so hard to decide. The look of one...the fragrance of another. They're all appealing (with Lemongrass calling, at least for the scent).
