(PRWEB) December 16, 2003 --The Texas Soapmakers Association recently elected soapmaker and entrepreneur, Cindy Jones of Paris, Texas, as its 6th president in a statewide election. Cindy, a charter member of TSA since its inception in 1999 and the 2002 TSA Vice-President, is the owner of Paris Soap Company. She brings to her TSA presidential position, years of family soapmaking tradition and knowledge.

Handcrafted soap is making a revival throughout the United States, with many successful soapmakers working together to introduce and educate the public about the benefits of using handcrafted skin care products.

Here in Texas, the not-for-profit Texas Soapmakers Association was created as an outgrowth of many soapcrafters communicating with each other on the Internet. Eventually, they wanted to meet and share ideas about marketing, advertising, formulas and suppliers, among just a few of the topics. Now, with an ever-growing membership list, TSAs members range from full-time professional soapmakers to hobbyists, who enjoy making soap for family and friends.

Each year, this association holds a 2 day convention. Next July the 2004 convention will be held in Austin with more than 250 soapmakers, vendors and national speakers in attendance.

Cindys current catalog contains a wide variety of luxury handcrafted soaps and products including her grandmothers Magic Laundry Soap to her own famous Texas Aggie Specialty Bar.
