Vio Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 LMAO!!! Well if he's like my husband, you might want to remind him who does his laundry, cooks for him, among other things. Then pick up and start to kiss a candle. Really freak him out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oceangazer1 Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 My husband is completely uninvolved with my candlemaking. He doesn't even blow out the test candles, ever. I'm sure he wishes all of this didn't cost so much, but I have to agree with that. Good thing I work to support my habit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judy, USMC Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 I'm boasting here! Mine is an excellent tester. When the timer goes off he starts running to measure the melt pools; he checks the labels to make sure what wick I'm testing to make sure he doesn't clip too short before lighting one off; he'll move them to different sized rooms to evaluate the throw. Heck he'll even fire one up at work to get other's opinions. One cool dude! Yep - I got him - and I'm gonna keep him!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValhallaGal Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 My hubby is like yours Judy. He is gets very involved in the whole process. He even helps pour when we get some of our bigger wholesale orders. He has certain FO's that he really loves and he swipes them first and won't let me pour them, LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeavenScentU Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 That is funny!!! Mine puts up with all the mess everywhere. He always asks how he can help with I have huge orders. He also prints my caution labels and makes sure each candle has one. He is very special.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Well, I might be joining you...or him...on the streets! After doing my books (finally) yesterday, my DH looked over my shoulder and about hit the roof!! Just how much fo did I buy???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logcabinmomma Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 I remember one scent I was test burning (Ginger Bergamot) that was so strong that my kids kept blowing it out- it would make their eyes water and they started calling it "Daddy's Deodorant"... I never did test to the bottom cause I had to pull the scent. They'd have run away if I started pouring that one in the house. That said, my 7 yo ds's all time favorite scent is LoveSpell... I may have a problem with that one as a teenager... -Kristi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanilla Nutmeg is mine, it's downstairs and one person asked me where i got Barn scent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meridith Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 My DH is just as much a part of this as I am. In fact, he runs the booth most of the time when we have shows. He sets them up, works it all day, tears it down and comes home to Mamma and gives me the money. He even makes some of our stuff. He'll make soap but I have to tell him what ingredients, how much and what to do with them. He gets to choose his colors, scent and additives and boy does he love the additives! I always tell him though that his most important jobs are to lift heavy stuff, look good and flirt with the blue hairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2rottndogs Posted December 7, 2007 Author Share Posted December 7, 2007 I always tell him though that his most important jobs are to lift heavy stuff, look good and flirt with the blue hairs. That just kills me! I make my husband do the same and the little ole ladies just LOVE him! He calls them his girlfriends! :laugh2: Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
