Happy New Year!
Where did 4th quarter go? Was is a blur for you too?
We at Carved Solutions found our Original Trio (3 bars of our now famous monogrammed soaps) gracing the pages of O, The Oprah Magazine. Our Vermont made, monogrammed soaps were hand-picked by Adam Glassman and prestigiously placed in the coveted holiday O List (page 96!). Yes, we were the first ones at the newsstands the day the magazine came out…we feel very fortunate for this badge of honor!

Randy Miller with InStyle Magazine also gave our round candles rave review in the StyleSchool Blog

To top off our December excitement, Bobbi Thomas of The Today Show gave the Carved Solutions brand a nice tag of “Hot Hollywood Gifts”

Finishing 2008 as the most desired brand of monogrammed soaps and candles has left us humble and grateful for each and every one of you that has tested, tried and found the Carved Solutions brand and client care style to be all that we profess to be.
With our collegiate line growing and the completion of our Greek licensing (every sorority is available to you) we do our best to make sure we have the products you are looking for. As we constantly expand our graphic and sentiment library, holidays and occasions our door is always open to for you to share what you’d like to see.
2008 saw the introduction of the round pillar candle (Carved Solutions is the only manufacturer in the marketplace with a monogrammed candle that is round). Our president, Mike Lancaster, not only built our carving machinery but he also built the machinery which carves the round candles; he’s amazing!. Mike’s engineering truly allows our carvings to stand out from the crowd. There is no deeper or more definitive monogram or personalization out there. We also added family and address signs as well as our Vermont made, CS Simply Organic line of soaps (for those of you that like soap chips; you love this line). For 2009 we have many new ideas coming down the pipeline and I can’t wait to share them with you.

Let’s welcome in 2009 with all the hope, change and promise for tomorrow. Let’s vow to do something nice, something good, something thoughtful for someone else every day…even a smile can change someone’s day!
Keep in touch…there is so much more to come!
Smiles!
Dawn
