Ivy

Thats really cool that your hubby is a painter = he somewhat understands the creative need... My hubby doesnt have a creative bone in his body nor does he have even one hobby ( aside from camping lol) But he does love candles..I'm so hoping we can enjoy doing this together..Hopefully he is as neat as you are ( cause I know I wont be lol).. Your space/office looks great sparkys!

ahh glad to see you finally got your supplies!

Hi Gabriel (smile)

well, this thread cinches it..I Haaaave to get my hubby into this journey with me..If he's as addicted as I am, he may be more apt to give up some of his beloved garage space lol... Congrats Bfly!

lmao Deb! You all are too funny...Even now I totally downsized my collection of ecig-liquids to you guys... I got way more than 95..Old habits die hard (laughing) I now see that I am totally among my peers...Sad thing is, at least you can make stuff with FOs..I mean one person can only (ecig-vape) so many flavors!..I'd buy/trade them just cause I had to smell em lmao

You can imagine my eyes wide as saucers and dilating when i read about interactive smellies...I think i can let go my e-liquids now...::dramatic pause::...I mean, i gots to have somewhere to put my new FO's lol

hi guys.. that was the first place i ordered from..They are expensive, but wow the selection... I looked up my order for you> Sub Total:$42.66 Other Discounts:- $2.99 UPS Standard Ground:$10.09 Handling:$2.50 Total:$52.26

I can't remember if they had a minimum order.. And i had a coupon code...I do know that if your order is over 75. you get 3-5 sample fo's... I'm in Indy..Hope this helps

400 bottles?.. lol meg, i should leave now huh?....pause.... It's too late... I'm in too deep (dramatic sigh)..I so hope you found the PERFECT pumpkin scent...If not, that would really blow lol

Thank you ks, candybee..

I was really hoping to be able to use my skin care FO's in my candle stuff but, didn't want to sacrifice any throw... So that's awesome news...The bad news is that I had previously purchased FO's from Natures Garden and candlepro and I have no idea which catagory I got them out of and they don't say either on the bottles or reciepts lol

:: patting your hand:: I'm so sorry about your sweet ornery cat (soft smile)..Your post made me tear up..

My 19 yr old cat "Ivy" :: lil smile::.. just passed away last wk.. She had the exact same dispostion as your little one.. Begging to be petted one min and tail twitching in warning if you petted a little longer than she deemed appropriate.. Didn't like anyone but me..So no one could really relate....except maybe you

( posted this here because it wouldnt let me post in the off topic catagory, prolly too new...but wanted to offer you my heartfelt sympathy)

This should be pretty cut and dry..But I'm a little confused..Most suppliers have pretty clear catagories..However, I'm trying to place an order at peaks and no matter which catagroy I click on (candle, bath n body or alphabetically) when you click on a specific FO they all say > Safe for wax candles, soaps, and skin products. I'm assuming I'll be safe just clicking on the appropriate catagory no matter what the info says?

Also, I am interested in trying my hand at some wickless products as well as at some skin care. I know that you have to use skin safe FO's in skin care products... But can you use skin safe FO's in candles? Will you still achieve the same good CT-HT? Or are they totally different and I'll have to bite the bullet and purchase two seperate lines of FO's?..Any help much appreciated.

By the way I just glanced up and seen "wax drip" under my name and thought huh??..Then busted out laughing!..I can not wait to grow up and become a Hot Puddle..too funny

Thanks guys ( waving at all the night owls)

And you might as well sign my a** up now faithfulscenter. Addiction is my middle name anyways ( looking over my shoulder at the yr of 2010 addiction> 98 bottles of electronic cigg liquid with every name of all the FO's but none of the fun and the 25 cans of wall paint behind that :: laughing

placing my order for melt/tart equipment tonight at peaks and candlescience.. Somebody please pull me out of the FO isle! I'm having e-liquid flash backs lol

Thanks for the warm welcome guys (smile)

lol quietgirl.. Already on info overload and still going strong.

I mean, Firestarters?..wow, hubbys gonna loove that one!lol :::running off to go read about more stuff I can dip, color, melt or scent>>>>>

Hi everyone (goofey newbie smile)

Just thought I'd better get myself out in the open and at least make my first post and say hi...Cause I was feeling kinda all creepy n stuff hanging in the shadows lol

My names Ivy, I'm a faux finisher/muralist (wall monkey) and hairstylist..Pretty much anything I can throw color at, be covered head to toe in, spend hrs daydreaming about and generally drive my hubby crazy with, is right up my alley.

I admit it (hanging head) I came here thinking > I think I'll make candles! yea, should be easy enough... Well you all scared me off that thought real quick (laugh)..I think I'll start with melts...and.. and maybe a dipped bear ( but only his hair - said the hairdresser lol)

Very nice forum you guys have. Im glad to be here
