My wife, Karen G Clemenson, and I have known Christen and her family for years. We have also been looking for the right skin care products for even longer. I have very sensitive skin and Karen gets very dry at times too. I have tried many national brands and handmade products. Some were very good but never perfect.
I had looked at Crafty Works’s site and I was glad to see the pictures and the good content, especially the ingredients list. Unfortunately the soap I had looked at wasn’t what I was looking for. I am diabetic and we have been working hard to get my a1C down and sugar being the first ingredient was not promising for me. When Christen’s mom contacted me, (I think she is probably their biggest fan) I decided to tell Christen my problem. Christen was so helpful! She told me which line of soaps to look at that were not made with sugar.
I bought the Lavender and Oatmeal Hot Process Luxury Soap for me and Rosemary, Sandalwood and Cracked Pepper Cold Process Luxury Soap for Karen. I also bought us some Lavender and Sandalwood Body Balm and Grounding Blend Lip Balm.
I want to tell you this soap is the BEST soap I have ever bought. That is a big statement. It lasts long, it doesn’t dry me out, it doesn’t burn in sensitive areas, its great for shaving your legs, anything I have ever had trouble with, this soap is not and it smells AMAZING! Every time Karen takes a shower she tells me how much she loves her soap.
I do have psoriasis but I keep it under control with medication, proper diet and good skin care and this Body balm answers my needs for this too! Plus I have always had soft skin until I got cancer. The meds that keep me stable have caused the skin on my arms to become prickly and no other lotion has helped until I started using the Lavender and Sandalwood Body Balm. I am proud to have my soft arms back.
I also have never really needed medicated lip balms until this year. My lips have gotten so dry. But since I have started using Grounding Blend Lip Balm just a couple times a day I haven’t had any cracks.
Working with Christen has been great! We really don’t have time to meet her somewhere, which she does offer as a delivery method. She is also available at local markets on the weekends, which she updates on her Facebook page all the time. We have our orders shipped to us and the cost of shipping is very reasonable. I really appreciate this. I see on their website that they are offering free shipping on orders over $70 within the United States. They are also offering 30% off all their Limited Edition items in celebration of the New Year!
We are so excited with the products we have tried from Crafty Works, LCC that we wanted to share them with you and encourage you to give a new local company a try.

My name is Summer. That is how you can call me. I hope that I am a blessing to you. I am not perfect. I will fall again. But I am forgiven. For anyone reading this that isn’t a Christian, unapologetically, I am a Christian, but I believe there is room for lots of beliefs and religions in the world. It is not my intent to offend people with different beliefs than I have and I would be open to open-minded conversations with no goals of changing anyone’s mind, but sharing information. If you are interested in becoming a Christian…Do you know Jesus? Do want the Holy Spirit to fill you and give you understanding and salvation? Ask Him. Want someone to pray with you? Contact me.
If you would like to know Jesus as your friend, but want to make this amazing commitment by yourself please pray something like this: Thank you Jesus that You are the Son of God, the God that created heaven and earth. Thank you Jesus that You came to earth in the form of a man so that You would be able to empathize with my humanity. Thank You that You did this in order to fulfill the promises You made at the foundation of the world. I realize that I am a sinner and do things that hurt myself and keep myself away from you. Thank You that You died for my sins so that You could defeat death and bring me into Your life. Please forgive me. I ask You to be Lord of my life. I ask you to heal my hurts and show me what my new life, empowered by You looks like. Thank You for Your mercy.
