Sharon in KY

My reciept in Dec. has Eucalyptus Spearmint at $23.95 in March of '05 it was $17.95. In Aug. '05 Cucumber Melon & Sweet Pea were $18.95, Rosemary Mint was $17.95 in March and Aug. Remember Lori lowered prices when she did away with Dirt Cheap Scents but later she had to raise them.

Lori I need Cotton Blossom, now. Going to have to take it off my scent list for awhile....

I use to use a blueberry from RA, can't remember what it smelled like. Only used it for embeds so throw wasn't a big thing for me. Just tried KY's blueberry and it isn't what I was looking for. Smelled more like candy to me. Want a real berry smell.

Just got a request for a Blueberry Honeysuckle scent. Wholesale customer said she has had this scent from another candle company and it sold great. Well,I've never head of the combo but said I would look. I have Honeysuckle from BG so thought I would mix. Also need a blueberry for embeds so bring it on Grumpy, I mean Guppy, geessee.

Mommyof1, did you ever find a blueberry?. I have had several request and want one like the berry not candy or cake.

Yankee sold their paraffin tarts with a no electric warning label. That is till they started selling electric tart warmers. Now it's ok as far as Yankee is concenered. Of course they sell the non light bulb warmers so I'm sure they would say you couldn't use those. Next year bet they will sell the light bulb warmers and they will be the best thing going and the prettiest too.

I have had a punched tin electric tart warmer for about 8 years or more. Yankee was the only place to buy tarts at first. Sure glad I started making tarts and introducing electric warmers to lot of customers. Now they're hooked like I am...

I want to thank Becky too, she is very good supplier. She is always having sales and with the samples thrown in, what more can a supplier do? I'm looking to add more and more of her scents. And I thought I had enough suppliers.

Also wanted to thank NG for the beautiful mouse pad, needed a new one. Plus a soap and candle one is cool...

People... So it comes out, just push it back up and put it holder. Or wait till it's in the holder to straighten wick. I haven't had a complaint but I'm sure it's cause I only sell a few and they are special requests. I have done a drizzle over pour and that locks in the wick at the top.

I think it's Wack your Wick!!!! scuse me... I only use one of their scents Vanilla Grapefruit. The scent doesn't sell well for me but it is a good one.

Know what you mean I don't like the short fat jars either. I got some from the Jar Store that are called Metro. They have the same type lid but are straight, love them. I would love to find them closer to home so if any one has seen them any where else, please let us know. TIA

I didn't relize they were different. Guess I have been going to the "other" site since the last time it was hacked. Thanks for the other address, I think that is the one I use to use, now I'm confused......

Sorry to say http://www.the-soap-dish.com/forum/ has been hacked. Why??? Just can't figure out what jollies they could get from the soap dish....:embarasse

I like NG's Cherry Crumb, strong but not overbearing.

When I use to measure, I always used a shot glass type with measurements on it. Worked good for a long time.

I had a coconut container candle that I let burn and forgot about it. Burned all the way down and cought on fire, set off the smoke alarm. Flames were flying at my shower curtain. Only two things I know from mishaps is no coconut containers and no coffee beans in candles.

Your candle looks great, the first of many I'm sure. I did those kind of things for years before I started to research candlemaking. I thought wax was wax and a wick, what could be so different between them. OMG, wait till you start reading about wicks, talk about confusing. Since tapers are a hard wax I'm sure that is why it sunk so much. And it is my understanding with the harder waxes that you will get the sinking all the time. Read all you can and check out the soapmaking sites cause you might like that too.

Did you say you used 1 oz. of Pumpkin Puree? And some FO too? Man Pumpkin is my favorite pie and I love this scent in a soap too. Really looks great.

My first love was coffee candles. Bought one with the coffee beans and wax in a very thick glass bowl with a votive glass inside. Loved burning vanilla and coffee scented votives in it, Would melt the wax with the coffee beans. yummy. Then one day the votive cracked and since I'm a marathon burner I was in bed sleeping. Next day the wax had burned off and the beans were burning like coal. Haven't learned much since then just to not put coffee beans in my candles. Although I love them.

I use GF soy with cotton seed, no scent no color. 15 mm tabs with a standard stem and the LX 8 wick. burns nice and slow with a smaller flame but not where it looks like it's going out. The 15 mm tab fits in the depression in the t-lite cup. The wicks you said you are using seem way too big for a little t-lite. I don't like a hot t-lite and one last about 7 hrs..... hth

I'll call them for you, if you don't hear. My cost for longdistance is the same no matter how much I call. PM what you want to know.

Looks great.. Did I tell you OM&H is my favorite soap!

I have a couple of boxes of that wax. Are you adding 402? I have some 402 but just haven't tried it with the old stuff yet. Thanks for the info....

Boy glad I didn't ask this question..... I got on here and have asked many questions, is that something that is not allowed anymore? Is there an easier way to make pillars?... What's wrong with saying you don't know of any? JMHO

Tony, what type of wax do you use?

And there is that shinny beighish spongie stuff they put in potting plant dirt. I can never remember the name. It hardly weighs anything so shipping should be cheaper. It is in those nice envelopes that they sell at Cracker Barrel to use as a sachet or vacuum cleaner freshener. I looked this fall in WalMart and KMart but couldn't find it. Maybe in the spring it will come back out. Might have to find out the name and call some nurserys to see if they have it. Does anyone know what I'm talking about???? TIA

I like their black cherry, it does not burn your nose hairs, which I like. Some other are so strong/bad I have to wear a mask. Theirs smells like the real thing to me. I just haven't tried anything else and have been looking other places. I'll have to check out the thread to see what else has been said.
