  1. I remember back in the day when I could buy a bucket of med grade gel at Micheals with my 40% off coupon and still get change back from a twenty. ( when I say back in the day I mean, just a couple of years ago). That will not be happening anymore, lol.(those were the days) I just saw that same gel product on Joann's website for $51.99. :shocked2: And I know that the stores have gone up also.
  2. I was going to be a first time customer of a company, so I got online and found what I wanted. I made my list, got my bank money order, sent off for my purchase, (did this during Ike). I was so excited to try these fragrances. About a week later I got my money order back. Also, a little note saying all orders are to go thru the website, and they don't accept money orders or personal checks. I was like W-T-F? First of all not everybody has a personal computer, no every one has a credit card or feels comfortable using their card on-line. (I make all my purchases using money orders). But what really got me was, the money order was a bank money order, and as I would be a first time customer I didn't know their payment accepteness.( Plus having all the craziness of the storm). :mad:This company lost a customer,all they had to do was make my order, send it and with a little note saying something like, you maybe a first time customer so we filled your order, but we don't take money orders or personal checks. That to me would have been good customer service, but sending my money back then you don't want me for a customer at all. I don't believe they even considered where this purchase was going to, Texas. (where some of us just got or still don't have power).
  3. Hello everyone. Down here in this part of texas, I can't for the life of me sell pine n' peel. So, I renamed it ole christmas tree and it's flying off the craft table. Ha!Ha!Ha!
  4. Hello everyone. Down here in this part of texas, I can't for the life of me sell pine n' peel. So, I renamed it ole christmas tree and it's flying off the craft table. Ha!Ha!Ha! Now I need your help renaming twigs n' berries? Thanks in Advanced.
  5. I used their cherry,leather,kahlua and bourbon which are very strong and true to me.
  6. I love making gel candles. The creativity and the uniqueness. When, I tell someone that I make gel candles, the first thing out of their mouths is. "do they have a strong scent, can it smell up the whole house"? I tell them,the ones I make are strong, but it also depends on the fragrance it's self. I don't know any one candle that can scent up an entire house. GO GEL CANDLE MAKERS!!!!!
  7. I was there 12 hours, by myself,(my help got snowed in)(so I gotta vent) and not one fellow vendor ask if they could help or give me a break all day. While I was setting up two women were looking at what I had and, I heard one tell the other, that" she is not going to make any money, becasue her candles are handmade". I hated hearing that, but she didn't lie. I was surrounded by a S**T load of B/S, and they were taking all the money. I was sorely dissapointed. Here I am thinking oh boy, people are going to be in the gift giving mood, if they were they were not looking for handmade candles. I mean the traffic flowed, but the money didn't flow to me . I was so mad, I came home took two asprin,two sleeping pills,and two midol. *On the upside, the mother and daughter duo that bought at my last craft show, came and bought from me and I only had to go about 10 miles. Booth $65.00 Day Dec 2 Place Tx. What I made my booth fee. I was there for 12 hours and out of those 12, I had no sale for 7 of them. Oh, I forgot to mention the first purchase made was under $30.00 and the lady hands me a $100.00. My head, back and legs still hurt this morning. UN****INGBELEIVEABLE!!!!!!!!
  8. Can candy corn scent still be used after Oct., w/o changing the name? T***I***A***
  9. I am sorry that we were not able to place you in the show. When it comes to like products we have to take first in. Our response this year was more than we could have ever expected. As you know we are limited to the number of booth spaces Next year we will be in bigger facility. I know that does not help you right now but, I hope you will consider us next year. Thanks Jackie *****Should I even consider next year?****** I fear the same thing will happen, next year.
  10. I was just rejected from a craft show that, would have been my 3rd time there:mad:. I was counting on doing this show, so I made no other plans for any other craft shows. I want to know should I write and see if I can get a response, or leave it alone? She waited so long to give me my check back, I started to make candles. The show is for Oct. 13 and 14. By the way the first year there were two candle people, the second year I was the only candle person, now all of the sudden they have other candle people? There are less than 30 vendors and I sent my payment in advance and let her know that I was there last year. So what should I do? Leave it alone or try to get an answer? T****I****A****
  11. The only thing I am dying to do is make more gel candles.I love every bit of it, from the creations to the bubbles. And what I reall like is that I am usually the only gel candle person at a craft show. SWEET!!! Gelers Unite!!!
  12. I got one of her scents called "Sugar & Spice", not quite what I thought it would be , but it is a nice scent. Her prices are good, the only thing is when ordering on ebay from her, you don't get good or sometimes any descriptions of the scents.
  13. I tried this scent in wax and got a very sweet, yet yummy scent. I got a faint whiff of apple. I am going to make another candle to get a clearer smell.
  14. Is there a difference between Raspberry and Sun Ripen Raspberry scent? Also can someone tell me what Apple Butter scent smells like? T***4***R
  15. I thought of using Amber Romance or After Glow for the scent.
