Congratulations Milos Candles!!!! Enjoy the ride and the awesome sales!! Good for you!!

So cute! Great job on them. That is neat that you were able to find the paper tubes...good for you!

Aahhhhhh......you are a FRESH deep breath of air there Kat!!! I have missed you!! I hear ya on the recluse thing.....you and I need to cut that crap out and get back here and back in the mix with all these great folks here. I am determined to make a batch of soap, lotion and lip balm here hopefully within the month....1st time in a year and a half...sheesh....I am so ashamed of myself! I have deeply missed making all those things.

Hi Darbla! I do and have missed this wonderful site....ah life , it keeps getting in the way...but I am determined to get back in here more and more often, if for no other reason that it is good for ME to be around all you good folks that love all the candles and all the other wonderful creative stuff that I do. I have missed you all.

Hi Kat!!!! Yes, it has been a long time....so glad to see you back girl! You remember when you, Laurie and I met ...I believe it was Applebee's in Sevierville? I don't know if you are aware , but sadly Laurie passed away. I have thought a lot about you over the years hoping you were doing great after you had moved from here. I am so glad to see you are back at it again! You created the prettiest things! Juanita

As always, just beautiful Jcandleattic. I love the bright colors!

Awesome one!

Oh gracious friend...where do I begin Trappeur? It has been a LONG 7 months. My sister had to have the major back surgery w/the rods running the full length of her back w/32 screws..I stayed the whole week in the hospital with her..boy am I glad..there are just not enough nurses and nurses aides to go around and i feel blessed to have been with her the whole week in the hospital to help..but man..what a week! shew! Then we have been helping her out since then...at first she could do nothing and now she is able to do some things, but still in pretty major pain at times..Dr said it could take a year to heal well. THEN MY husband had back surgery this spring and me and the kids have had to do ALL the bending over stuff that my husband has not been able to do. I had to wash him in the shower, do lawn work, mow, do all the planting of stuff...just anything that requires bending...I will tell you what girl, I really appreciate him more now than ever...you don't realize what you had until the help is gone and you have to do it and DO I FEEL LUCKY to not have to deal with this back stuff...at least not now...I have herniated , bulging discs...but so far I am able to deal with it fine. My husband has been off work 3 months and is going to the Dr this week on Thursday. My husband doesn't even know if he will be able to return to his work (maintenance). So a lot of stuff up in the air...taking it one day at a time. Anyhow back to the feel good stuff........I got SO EXCITED last night when I seen your account being mentioned!! I told my husband...oh my gosh, one of my buddies on Craftserver has a wonderful account with these people! That was awesome to see....and it sounds like an absolute dream account Trappeur! Those folks sound like angels to me....good, good people which we love to work for!! I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!! The apple pies sound delicious...yummm!!!

Hey Trappeur...I just had to mention this...last night my husband and I was watching Home Hunters and they were looking for lakefront property in the Georgia area and the people who were hunting houses on this episode LOVES to go to Mercier Orchards in Georgia....we hope this brings lots of folks their way and more buyers for your beautiful candles. The orchard looks like a wonderful place...these folks went on a hayride there and picked blackberries. We wish they would have shown the store and more of what the orchards offered, but they didn't...but you got some free advertising for your account...yea!

Hi Peppie, Thank you so much, I am so glad you enjoyed and I hope you try this...it is so much fun. It's important that the overpour does not melt your chunks too much. For my overpour, it is totally melted but I pour it over the chunks as cool as I can between 160-165 with the waxes I use. NOT a silly question....an excellent question. Have fun and let us see YOUR chunk tart melts!

Looks sharp there Candybee!!! Love your setup and the sage green cloth with your two V shaped overlays .....an attention getter for sure!

Beautiful, bright and inviting labels Trappeur! You never FAIL to amaze me at what all you do! Awesome girl!

Yea....Soap of The Month Time!!! Wow Candybee!!! This recipe sounds DIVINE, I love the color of your soap and love the tutorial! All of these soap ingredients sound so soothing and just wonderful! Who wouldn't want to TOTALLY bathe in a soap made with such a recipe like this? I will have to try this. Thank you so much for sharing!

Your candles are just beautiful Trappeur! The labels are eye catching! Hee hee....love the 'possum pic and all your beautiful kitties chowing down and relaxing. Just adorable!

Beautiful recipe and soap Candybee! Thank you so much for sharing. A soap maker will NEVER go wrong making a Oatmeal , Milk and Honey soap....for me it is one of my best sellers. The Sandalwood Rose scent sounds wonderful and love the look of the oats sprinkled on top. Pretty, pretty!

Great to see you back PhoenixFyre! Your soaps are beautiful! So happy to hear that things in your life have turned around and looking much better now. So sorry to hear of loss of Grandpa....but SO happy for your sister on upcoming birth of her baby boy and glad to hear your hubby is mending.
