MaggieMay Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 (edited) First off Thanks to Pums52 for all her pics and encouragement, and to everyone else who contributed as well This weekend is and still is Grandie Daughter weekend. We had a blast, coming up with scent blends and what colors to use. First blend choices and colors was my GD's, blue, winter solstice green, cool citrus basil white over pour, bonsai citrus ginger, it's very spaish lol second one we are using the same name of Horse Whispers as they were using on this board. Thank You we love that name!!!! we have eight horses so this name is very fitting!!! green, green apple orange, home spun sugar over pour, sweet grass yet to be done is birthday cake white cake, butter cream and black berry vanilla my fruitcake blend cherry lime crystal kisses pineapple over pour fruitcake whatta think. We're having a blast I can't figure out how to post pics Grr Edited October 23, 2016 by MaggieMay Pics were wrong 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonstar Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Aren't grandkids the best ! They are so much fun - especially the girls. Your blends sound awesome ! On the horse whiskers who makes those oils ? Cant wait to hear how the final result turned out when you test them ? How did you you come up with a wax combo - are you happy with it ? My grandkids just love making things too. The twins are 7 and 9 - the 7 year old is a entrepreneur in the making lol ! Glad you guys had fun !!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you guys had fun !!! I love my GD, she is 15 and so much fun to be around. for the Horse Whisper blend I used IGI 4798 wax. It's soft enough to cut with a knife. Green Apple from NG Home Spun Sugar from BCN, I love this one. Sweet Grass from Voyaguers, I think it's from BB We also used these silicone square molds. We filled them with colored wax, then cut them into squares. Then refilled them the chunks of wax and did our over pours.

I usually only make melts for personal use. We'll see how they work out and if they smell great, I might add some to my sale and farmers market. I think we're hooked so far!!!! hugs Maggie and Kierra 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaggieMay Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 (edited) Sundays, chunk melts are done. I ended up doing them myself. Grandie received a better offer, lol her grandfather took her horse back riding. She had a GREAT TIME. I'm happy with the end results. Except for color choices, to much coloring in one, one fragrance was supposed to be white, but colored it off white. But all in all they smell so good. I'm hooked but I have to stop and get my soaps all made before I can play some more!!!!! Fruit Cake Red, Black Cherry from JS more marishino ( very very strong scent) I used sparingly. Green, lime crystal kisses from FOA Yellow, pineapple cilantro, from scentsational fragrance oils Over Pour Fruitcake NG i wish I had some almond as another white over pour Birthday cake over pour Magenta,Black Raspberry Vanilla Ivory, Buttercream Edited October 25, 2016 by MaggieMay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
