You did a great job!

What do ya'll think of this name? Just curious. With all the DD fans think it would go over well? Cheesy? DS thinks its a go. ???

What's your name? Carrie How old are you? A very young 53 yr old! Where do you live? Due west of Houston, TX. How long have you been making candles/soap/whatever? Candles since 2001. Sold my biz in 2011, but still pour for me and friends. How did you get started making candles/soap/whatever? My bff and I went to her counsins candle party (she owned her own candle biz). I purchased about 4 candles which totalled $70 and I thought "crap! I can do this!", so I researched and we poured our first candles in my kitchen. They bombed, but drove me even harder to learn more. Are you married? Any kids? Happy to say No. Yes ~ two boys 15 and 29. If candle/Soap making isn't your primary job, what do you do? Full-time oil & gas accounting for 14 years. Anything else we should know? I love yard work even though my body doesn't! LOL I spend alot of time carting my 15 yr old around for his various sporting activities. Now that football season is over, he's into power-lifting, so I fixed awesome big dinners! I love to cook!

I couldn't see Eggog either, so I renamed to Holiday Cheer. Sells great now!

Wholesalesuppliesplus has Beach House. One of my favorites during the summer time. Actually, I was burning it this weekend in my bathroom. "Blend of lime, eucalyptus and coconut". Personally, I dont' smell much eucalyptus, but salty sea air. I wish I had some more of the fo.

Full disclosure of sources of my supplies wether It be oils, wicks, jars and wax is assinine. Why Don't you just give the recipe. Hey! They're not eating the darn thing and If they are so concerned about what they Are breathing in, just tell to step outside and Breath deeply. This whole thread is just, well, A no-brainer. They are not concerned about Their health, they want to know how to Replicate your product. Period. People that are concerned about ingredients already did their research and are not Buying your candles.

Have you tried sfherb.com? I've purchased quite a bit of their items and loved them! San Francisco Herb http://www.sfherb.com/store/potpourri-ingredients,category.asp Carrie

I googled and it seems a company called Scentair does the piped in scents. Very ingenious Idea IMO.

I had really good results with JS Southern Vanilla Coffee Cake Chesnuts & Brown Sugar (best seller for me!) Cotton Candy Country Christmas - one of my favs! Rosemary Mint Cranberry Orange Spice and some others I can't think of right now. I use 6006 with added ezsoy

That is so awesome! Very happy for you! Carrie

I purchased 6 of her FO's and will be pouring this weekend. I'm pretty sure they are NG too.

I'm thinking a 2"x4" label?

Anyone? Why would these metal lids be oil soaked? Lid is soaked clean thru to the top and rim of the lid.

I cannot give you a reason, sorry, but when I Made an all soy candle, the wax would once Cooled down from a burn would be a Light shade of green. I would be interested to know as well. Carrie

Lid on inside and outside are soaked. Texas = himidity, so yes.
