WOW! Those are very cool!! Kris

Those are Fabulous!!! Great job! Kris

Well its not too bad for my first try at a tilted pillar. This is 2 pictures of the same pillar just a little diff view... I did have a little break thru on the blue..you can see it where there are 2 different colors of blue. I was going to make each layer a different scent, and let them mingle....but I changed my mind and scented the whole pillar Cinnamon. Thanks for looking! Kris

Thanks ladies!! I think I will order some from Peaks when their site is back up. Thanks! Kris

Anyone know who has a grea Mediterranean fig?? I am thinking Peaks has one...but their site appears to be down at the moment Thanks Kris

Thanks so much! Im off to check them out. I would never have thought to mix these tow scents...but my customers swaers its a great scent. Kris

thanks everyone for the kind words!! Im having fun with these.... Altho..I am attempting a red white and blue tilted pillar at the moment....and I THINK its not going to come out as well...it is kind of tricky to think about how the tilts will end up in the end.... Thanks! Kris

Im playing with tilted votives and hope to try a pillar tonight too.... What do you think of these for a first time tilting??? Kris

thank you so much for this info!!! Kris

Anyone elver heard of a scent called Sexy Cinnamon?? I have never heard of it but I have a customer asking for it. Any help would Be GREAT! Thanks Kris

those are adorable!!! Great job!! May I ask where you found those cute cans? Kris

That looks great!! May I ask where you found the all black containers? Kris

Im looking for a good place to buy in BULK hips and sticks at wholesale price. Does anyone here have a great connection....somewhere they have bought good quality hips and sticks? Thanks Kris

thanks Heather for your input..but I am wayyyyy ahead of you.

I have found a couple of sites but I would really love to hear from someone who makes their own....I dont want them to give me their recipe....but just need some input on some gret ingredients.

I am searching or some great recipes for house cleaning supplies. Does anyone here already make their own?? Or can point me to a place to find some recipes? Thanks Kris

Thank you all for your input! Kris

Thank you all for your advice! I have thought about all of the above....I do have a nice size customer base already with lots of repeat customers...I have done several fundraisers, and I have several wholesale accts....I also usually have great a great turn out at craft shows that I do... .The rent for this store is sooooo low, that if I do open the store just the 2 trips I would cut out driving back home after taking kids to school.....would cover my rent and then some. I am in the process of working on a business plan..which is something I have never done. If I open the store or not....a business plan is my next step. Can anyone tell me where to find a business plan that is for candle and soap making?? I have googled and I find every other business but this. Thanks Kris

I am thinking of opening a store....I would like to think that I have thought of everything...transfering insurance, rent, electricity and gas for heat in the winter....but I am sure not! LOL Does anyone that already has a store front...have any tips or suggestions to someone who has never had a store before?? Thanks Kris

Thanks everyone for the input! Kris

VERY COOL! This is sooooo very helpful! Thanks for postig this...Im computer stupid..and need all the help I can get! This will make life so much easier..AND...to think of all the labels I have printed over the years........... LOL Thanks Kris

Do tell!!! Kris

Ok here is the close up..sorry the words are blurry...this is the labels from BCN 1"x2 5/8

Thank you all for your ideas!! I originally made the band wider....but then it looked silly with the label on....Im still working.....and thinking....lol Its so nice to have everyones opinions! Thanks Kris

so its construction paper....do you think that it would change colors from the oils in the soaps??? I just cant think of another way to package them without Dan's Bands.......
