I recently lost my job of 12 years after the business was sold (again) anyway I decided to try and be my own boss with my candles, etc. We have a closed down mall here in Southwest PA that a developer from Florida is reopening. There are a lot of flea markets sellers in there, but they are also trying to attract crafters, etc. So far, my candles and country gifts are a hit, however this concept with the mall is slow to catch on and so is the $ return. The manager has given me excellent rates to persuade me to stay. Anyway, I want to expand a bath & body area where customers can pick & choose their:) own basket ingredients and I will gift wrap it for them on the spot. But, I don't have the time to "make" enough cp soap or lotions, etc as well as my candles and run the business. Does anyone have any good experiences that they could pass along regarding private label for the bath & body stuff and possibly cp soaps as well? I tried to find a link for Soapersworkshop - her stuff was nice. I would even be willing to just purchase wholesale without the private label, if I had a good product. I love my own cp soap, but time is a factor. And there's just too much out there to experiment with let alone package, label, etc. I have found that packaging and labeling are soooooo time consuming, and I go through inkjet printers like they are going out of style! Any leads will be appreciated. Thanks

I absolutely love the Woodland Breeze FO but in CP it sceezed (sp) terribly for me. I usually soap at 120 to 125 degrees. Maybe soap cooler?

Hi, I Just Placed An Order With Fillmore And I Ordered 48 Old Tyme Lids For The Wide Mouth Canning Jars. I Wanted The Black Ones But They Are Out Of Stock. They Come In Boxes Of 24. I Bought Them Before From Them. The Shipping Is $8.01 Ups For The 2 Boxes.

Holy Moly!! Those Are Beautiful.

Love that Margarita!! How unique.

Lavender & Mulberry. I read about this mix on another board, supposedly this blend is an aphrodisiac. Don't know about that, but it is a very nice blend.:smiley2:

Has anyone ever heard of OK236H wax? I ordered 5055 from Early American Candles and this is what they sent me, it is pellets. They are closed at this time so I left a voice message. I tried to Google OK236 and I came up with nothing. I was planning to use this tonight but I don't want to open the bag and then not be able to return it.

Brambleberry's Welcome Home and Tennessee Candle's This Old House are the same to my nose. Also Peaks Spruce Xmas Tree and AH's Ozark Forest.

I bought Tommy Girl last year from Early American Candle Supply in PA - it was strong! I never used Tommy Girl perfume but everyone who did, said it was right on! I wanted to cp it, so I emailed the company, unfortunately I didn't get a response. But I had plenty of other frangrances to soap so I never bothered to call or email them again. But I would definitely recommend that one for candles, etc.

I cp'd it last year for Christmas. I used beer for my liquid and called it Harvest Ale. It gave it as Christmas gift for some of the guys on my list. They loved it, it did turn dark brown but it bubbled great!

Hi Donna, I use the 8 oz wide-mouth jelly jar with 6006 and I have had good luck with the Eco 8.

ICS has a Sangria & Cider that is very good.

Hi, I'm new to "posting" on this board. I've been hanging around for a while. I ordered a sample slab of Greenleaf's 70/30 and have some problems with wicking. I sent Brenda an email late last night, and I was shocked to have a response within 30 minutes time! Don't get any better than that! Thanks Brenda.
