I completely admit I used the same layout as you Suzy. That was very wrong. I did not use the same backgrounds. They may have been similar, but they weren't the exact same. I used colorful backgrounds just as yours were and it was made with the same layout. Therefore they were very similar. I have apologized profusely and taken it down. I do realize they were too similar. My about me, its all me. I have 3 boys, creepy or however it may seem, it was not taken from your page. I put on the listing , don't leave in hot car as it will melt. Yes that was like off your page. I've apologized, I used the way you had your lip balm designed and found my own backgrounds for them. They were pretty darn alike, but you didn't have the backgrounds I use copyrighted, as they did not come from your page.

Thanks doglvr. You are right. Suzy handled it very gracefully. I was telling myself that my lipbalm design wasn't "exactly" like hers, because the backgrounds were not the same, but I know that's what I based my lipbalms on so I know what I did was very wrong. Side by Side , There's no doubt. Suzy is absolutely right. There's no use in denying it! I felt like a kid caught red handed when I read her post, so I know I owe her a huge apology. I don't normally make a habit of copying peoples work. Suzy, Sorry again. I'm beyond embarrased (as I should be). I will probably close my Etsy. I've had sooo many hits on it from craftserver. I know i'll never get any sales, as i'm sure people think i'm scum That's noone's fault but my own, and lesson learned. I'm just hoping Suzy forgives me, and the people on this board will not hold it against me forever. I know that was a really low thing of me to do and I apologize again Suzy. Thank you for being so gracious and not tearing me up. This forum is amazing and so are the people. I read so much on here, and there's so many talented people. I just hope I haven't demolished my reputation for everyone. Sorry Suzy.

You don't owe me a Thank You. I owe you a Very Huge I'm So Sorry!!! I will fix the wording. Your shop is wonderful, and I'm so sorry I upset you, which you have every right to be. I will fix it, promise. I'm so sorry Suzy.

I've taken all of the lip balms off, look over and see what else I need to fix please? I'm so sorry again Suzy!

I'm the idiot. I'm so sorry Suzy! I promise I will fix it.

Let me know when you find out when the sale is

Haha when you find one, sign me up!

It's sometimes used in place of glycerin to add sheen to your bath salts and a silky feel to the bath water. Hth.

Those look good enough to eat

That's a great gift!

I love your space! It looks great!

I color some of mine, but I leave some uncolored also. I like the look of both.

Great job! They are so pretty!

When using soy wax, what is the best temperature to add fragrance for best scent throw? Ive read conflicting answers on this, some say around 180 and others say lower, that if too high the fragrance would burn off...so what temps do you add your fragrance? Thanks!

Thanks! I called them, had to leave a message, so hopefully i will hear back from them soon.

Yes, they have sales at times. I love when their sample fragrances are on sale! Perfect for small batches of tarts!

Has anyone tried ecosoya cb-135? in a candle or wax melt? if so what do you think of it and how was the cold/hot throw?

Does anyone know where I can find clarus 3022 wax? Thank you !

Thank ya'll! I've been doing SO much testing, trying to get that "perfect" look & strong throw. I've mixed SO many different waxes, played around with the fragrance oils, but still not completely satisfied. I just bought a box of goodies, from a craft sampler group, I got it in the mail today and there was this one wax tart in particular that blew me away. She said it's 100 % vegetable, pure soybean oil. It was just a small sample, but wow. It had a very strong cold throw, in fact, it had everything scented in the box! Hot throw was great too. I know each are different, but I'm thinking, how do they get theirs sooo strong, and then i'm wandering what wax they could be using...I order good fragrance oils through reputable companys, but I can't get mine anywhere near that strong ehhh. I'll keep on trying...

I have finally made a lipbalm label!!!!! The reason that it's such a big deal is because I was up until 4 am trying to get a decent one! It's nothing fancy and I still have to play around with it, but I did it! Yay!!!!

Thanks ya'll!

ktaggard, what ratio would you recommend for the 2 waxes if you don't mind me asking?

NOLA CHARM, Do you mix the 464 with yours? if so what ratio?

Thanks so much! I've been testing and testing the waxes I have and wasn't getting what I wanted, I am going to order those and try them.

Ok I know everyone has their own opinion on which waxes that work best for wax melts, but what wax or wax combo would y'all recommend for melts that are still able to pop out the clamshells, but also are creamy looking? I bought one like this once at a farmers market and have yet been able to find the same consistency, mine are either too hard, not creamy looking enough or too soft. Ive tried ecosoya xcel and ecosoya pb mixed at different ratios and the pb by itself but its just not as creamy as im looking for. Thanks!

A BIG Thank you to everyone for the advice! i appreciate it so much!

I'll be getting to work on making changes on the label, and do a repost later:D

Candybee..I did research the name through "Teas" I think it's called (?) I didn't see it trademarked. I'm going to be selling (not now, but later on in the future) at craft shows, etsy, little area consignment store, What do I need to do to be able to use the name? If anyone can clue me in? Thanks! Nikki:grin2:

More opinions please??? Thank you

Alpha:Thank you! I agree with all of that! will definately fix it! Thanks so much!

Sammi: Thank you! and No don't hush! lol Thanks for being honest, I probably wouldn't have caught the hand-poured (thanks!). You're right it is 3 different fonts. Which font do you think I should go with? ( just one) lol I got carried away! or some other font? and anything else you see please let me know! I appreciate it ya'll! Nikki
