    Once again, amazing! I bet you can't wait to cut your soap each time to see what the design looks like. Goldie

    IS VBN "Vanilla Bean Noel"? Is there one that works well with 464? I don't have a straight vanilla yet. Probably should have one if I get around to blending. Goldie

    Thanks! I may even have a sample of that. Goldie

    RE (ZIP 29376) uses UPS, ground which is their cheapest rate. Double check your shipping here: https://wwwapps.ups.com/calTimeCost?loc=en_US&WT.svl=SubNav to see what 20+ ounces (need to include box) should have been to your zip. Goldie

    WOW, just beautiful! Goldie

    I call RusticEscentual Apple Pumpkin Strudel, Apple Strudel because I can't smell the pumpkin either; but it is one of my favorite. Sells well. Toasted Marshmallow is also a great seller. I call mine Cozy Cottage as my business has the name "cottage" in it. Both throw well in 464, pint jars, Premier wicks. Goldie

    I have that sediment on the bottom of one of their oils. They addressed that somewhere on their website but can't remember what was said. Sounded normal. Not much help, am I. Goldie

    I got them in the Joanne Fabrics store. They have some online, but it doesn't look like they have all of them. Also, I paid around $2.50 each since they were on sale. The lids I buy from Fillmore, I think. Goldie

    Works of art! Goldie

    I use Premier 785 or 790. I've done power burns of 6+ hours and the jars only get hot as they burn to the first third of the jar. Even the last quarter don't get hot. Couldn't get a good hot throw with some scents with 780s. May try a few cd12s if I still have them. Look what I'm going to try for the holidays. A bit more expensive jar, but I think I can up the price. Gold, Silver, Bronze

    So tempting! I did purchase a few dyes after the spring postings of chunky tarts so only need to get some wax as all I have is 464 and 415. Hmmm. . . Goldie

    I use 464 in Ball pint jars. Testing will commence in one week. Goldie

    I've been waiting patiently for that Butter Brickle tester of yours to be ready. I, too, ordered a small bottle and poured it a week ago. Anxious to hear how it throws. GoldieMN

    This helps a lot. Thanks! Goldie

    Hope this is ok to butt in with my experience. I use to use a brush to paint my candle jars but switched to spraying them as it became too time consuming to paint by brush, and I got sloppy trying to hurry=drops. Haven't tried it yet, but there is a spray chalk paint out now by Krylon, kind of spendy. Definitely need a coupon! I use Rust-Oleum 2x spray satin paint; goes on sale often around here. Goldie

    Wow, those are so pretty! Goldie

    Sounds great! Putting together an order since I need Red Hot Cinnamon. Also going to try Blue Spruce. Goldie

    Ugh! Just remembered I was using Tennessee's Pumpkin Souffle for a candle I call "Santa's Bakeshop". Has anyone found something that smells pretty similar? And plays well with 464? Goldie

    Shipping is getting so expensive. But every place I order oils from, hits me about the same so I keep adding things to the cart to get more for the same shipping. I'm guessing you do the same. I ordered the 20 but also got 3-16 oz. bottles of fragrance oils, plus 3 free one-ounce samples for a total of $15.17 shipping. I would have paid the same shipping for the 20 samples which is why I added the lb. bottles that I know I will use. Goldie

    OMG those are beautiful! I would love to see your website! I do not think it rude as we all love hearing/seeing even if we can't smell. Goldie

    I know what you mean. I bought a bigger bottle from Nature's Garden to see if it smells the same. In the middle of testing right now. I will let you know what the difference is. Goldie

    I broke down and bought one of these. Works really well in the pint jars but seems off in my flowerpot votives. But those are easy to place by "eye". https://www.candlescience.com/equipment/ez-wick-setter-single Goldie

    I paint all my jars; the heat does not affect the jar. One other thought: If you are making them for a wedding reception, you COULD skip the fragrance. The reason I say that is it is recommended to have fragrance-free candles around food so people smell the food and not the candle, I guess. Restaurants, I'm told, use unscented candles. Goldie

    Yes McCall's candles is still around. They no longer sell their flowerpot votives, though. My favorite is their Spiced Pear. Been ordering one pear fragrance after another but nothing comes near to it. I am finding that many of the cocoa or chocolate fragrances remind me of fudgsicles. Not chocolate enough for me. My husband thinks Santas Whiskers smells like a campfire. So I'm thinking of testing two different ones for later this year. I really should put Bonfire Bliss in wax and not go by OOB. Goldie

    So pretty. I love the crystal knob for the finishing touch on the jar. Goldie
