I am loving this scent. I made dh some spray with it and OMG. I told him if he wears it more often he may get some XXXX more often. So far he really really loves this scent too! LOL

Cara

Anyone care to share their suppliers?

Cara

I gotta have me a bar of that! Sounds and looks superb!

Cara

ITS CUT!!! Still needs to be cleaned up but its looking good IMHO. Smells delightful!

Thanks guys! I am so itching for morning to come so I can cut it. I did an all veggie bar this go around and I forgot how long it takes to get hard enuff to cut. Gotta love lard! LOL

Smells great tho!

I got a gc from backwoods from my superest, duperst bestest secret buddy in the world ( Thanks again sweetpea) and I was totally lost as to what to get at backwoods, but I finally decided on a few that seemed to be spoken highly of around here. I got Blue, Lemon Tart and Grammys Punkin Pie. Finally had some ambition and decided to soap one of them.....heres the results.

Will get to cutting first thing in the am!

Someone had some for sale in classies. Check back a page or two.

HTH

Cara

What the heck is it? I mean, I know where it goes and for what application, but really.. what is it? Gel?

Just one of them things i need to know!

Cara

Nope, not the same. A pressure cooker is used for cooking foods over a range top. A presto pot is a deepfryer that you plug in

HTH

Cara

I do a round label on the top of the lid and then a small addy label around the side/back with my company name and ingredients.

Cara

Awwwwwwwwww :embarasse Shucks pal! Making me all rosy and warm feeling now!

Only secret i can really share is....Give out freebies. I always do a buy 25.00 deal and get something free. Soap cake or a odd lipbalm or a soap. People love free! Once all this pal stuff is done, I would love to help ya with getting ur home show thing underway, that is if you want me to!

:highfive:

Cara

Awesome job Cara. You are doing wonderful. You need to share with your wonderful secret buddy what you did to make such nice sales. I am so proud of you!

Your stalker!

Very nice!!! You are doing great. Now I get to stalk you in the photo gallery

Oh oh....Better watch my ps and qs....LOL

Things went well. Was a smaller gathering, but from the 6 ladies that were there, sales were well over 450.00. Big scents were Bamboo and Satsuma. Nice summery scents. One lady expressed interest in a homeshow come end august/early september so that sure helps. Alll and all it was a good afternoon!

Must have been all them good luck forum vibes!

Hugs

Cara

Wish me luck. Hoping to have an ok turnout. Will be the last do before my wedding and I sure could use some extra cashola!

Will report back!

Hugs

Cara

Beautiful! What brand of wax are you using for these?

Cara

. What did you use and how hot did you pour? What kind of magnet material did you use?

Hey donita

As for the wax it was 4625, just some leftovers in the pot. I poured around 178 degrees. I was really worried about melting the glue off too but it really seemed to hold great. I used some rubber cement stuff that my husband broght home. He says the plumbers he works with use it for pvc pipes? I ended up using a magnet that was on the fridge. A heavyish duty calender sheet that was there, from last year, so I just cut off a hunk and glued it to the stamp. I really hadnt planned on doing this, just was a spur of the moment thing so maybe next time, if there is a next time, I will try to pour cooler as well and maybe use a different wax. I dont have any palm wax around but maybe trying the 4625 at a cooler temp or some mottle wax. I have a really neat bee stamp that I dont use for anything, maybe attempt some beeswax? Cant wait to see your creations!

Cara

Looks great. Havent ever smelled that fo, but it does sound yum!

Cara

That looks great. Looks like you heated the wax and then stamped. I just got a set of new stamps that I got on ebay and am waiting to try them. I have too much to do right now so I can't play with wax. Darn. Donita

Hey DOnita...Poor busy lady...No time to play.

With this candle I put the stamp in the mold and made it stick with a magnet. It was a rather detailed stamp so maybe thats why it looks wonky.

Cant wait to see what ucome up with. Such brilliance!

Cara

Looks c ute from what i can see. Really like those hearts peeking out!

Cara

Nowhere near what you came up with, but I tried. I had some leftover 4625 in the pot and needed to clean it out for an order, so heres what i came up with.

The original stamp is included in the pic.

Cara

Are u using it in a bath bomb idea? If so i have used cornstarch for such, just made sure i blended it real well. Seemed to do the trick

C

Iodopropanol Butylcarbonate is a preservative used for this cause. Maybe check with the supplier to insure that it will be effective enough once you add the water, what tempature of water etc etc.

HTH A bit

Cara

Very Cool!

Sorry for my tardiness. I agree that perhaps third hand information to some is just that. Third Hand. But in the real world, we tend to take information that friends pass to us and use this information in our day to day dealings. How many times have we gone to a friends fabulous hairdresser or tried that new delish item at the store after a friend recommended it. This girl is a REAL friend of mine. We have shared heartaches, smiles, tears, etc. We used to live in the same city but she was moved as her husband is in the military, so yes, s he does exist and I have no reason to doubt her dealings with this company. Isnt that why we have friends?

I was not trying to piss in anyones cornflakes. I have seen numerous posts about other peoples mishaps with suppliers as well as Kudos to the wonderful suppliers that we do have out there and thought that maybe this information would be helpful to someone.

I value all the information that i have aquired from this forum. Tips, tricks, trade secrets and a mind full of other tid bits.

I am sorry if I have overstepped the boundries.

Cara

? is what are u wanting to color with them?
