Jane, I would try cutting back to one ounce pp. I have not used that oil from Cajun's but their stuff is pretty good. I never pour at 1.5 ounces per pound.
I don't use soy so I am not much help lol. I do like farmhouse oils though. Snowy Pine, Red Mac Apple, Kandy Kane, Apple Jack there are a few more that escape me at the moment. She has excellent customer service too.
Oh I've tried it and I love it. It's one of my favorites. It's a great dupe and has a great throw. You will not be disappointed. I need to order more otherwise I would have been happy to send you some.
No you have two different gals mixed up. Wendy sells the VBN (the best you'll find) Lisa (I think thats her name) from Wild Fire sells the Ms Randy Vanilla. Two different girls but both with awesome oils.
I don't recall ever seeing anyone mention Wendy's oils on this board. In any event she has wonderful fo's . They throw awesome and are very affordable. She is having a prebuy right now but then again I think you knew that.
I don't use all of those scents but for Spiced Cranberry I like the one from ASS. Gingerbread Applesauce -Tenn Candle Supply Warm Orange Gingerbread-Tenn Candle Supply
You don't have to slave over a crock pot for CPHP. It's pretty easy and it usually only takes about an hour from start to finish depending on the size of your batch.
