I have one burning right now, and its beginning to smell like rotten bananas.

I got this FO last week and made a test candle with it. I am on the fence about the smell. What are everybody's thoughts on this one?

thanks so much everybody!

Hi! took all day, but i got five pretty even layers for this Easter candle. Its scented, top to bottom, Monkey Farts, Strawberry Jam, Honeydew, Blueberry Muffin, and Jelly Bean. Thanks for looking! Linaya

Those look so cool!

I have to make some 5-layer Easter-scented candles. And I'll be testing JS Lemon Sugar, Mimosa Mandarin, and Carmelized Banana.

I can give you a couple ounces of Peak's Clean Cotton, if you want to try it.

You mustn't forget about our beloved Pomegranate! although i volunteer to test out the red currant!

Amy, you know im going to have to try some of those!

I love them ALL!

its so yummy! i have to make one today for a customer.

I really like MCSOY's, Strawberry Jam!

i use their pure soy wax and quite a few of their FO's. Honey Baked Pears, Watermelon, Black Raspberry Vanilla, and Muscadine are all great in soy. And i know their is more i cant think of right now.

the picture was printed on a label and then stuck on the outside. it looks really cool if you use like 20 pics and do a collage, also.

i have used Millcreeks French Vanilla, and i much prefer Peak's Vanilla Passion. Millcreek has alot of good ones, but im not a fan of the French Vanilla. I have been wondering about their new Extreme Vanilla. From Millcreek, I always get, Berry Creme Brulee, Vanilla Hazelnut Mocha, Lavender Fields, and Strawberry Jam. HTH

thanks everybody, for all the nice compliments!

This is what I spent today doing. Why does it always feel like I never get anything done? This is an order for one of my favorite customers. She wanted some things custom-colored. The blackish one on the right side is Lavender Fields, the big pinkish one next to it is, Leather. The baby one is J&J Bedtime Bath. The white one with a pic is, Vineyard. The one hidden behind the lotion is, Coconut Milk. The lavender bucket is, Blackberry Sage. The green bucket is, Lemongrass. The violet votives are, Passionate Kisses. And the lotions are, Mamma Mia, Island Baby, Passionate Kisses, Monkey Farts, Strawberry Jam, and Pink Lime. Thanks for looking!

everything looks so pretty! great job!

Oh Sharyl, its so cute! Is it scented?

I just made C & S Black Raspberry Vanilla and the cold and hot scent throw is awesome!

I also use the UPSP! I ordered priority boxes from them, pack the orders myself, print the shipping label online, and schedule a delivery. I never have to leave the house! If I didn't do that, I would have had to go to UPS six days last week!

I use pure soy and my cost for a 16 oz. varies from $4.50 to $5.25, depending on the FO. I just dont see a way for me to lower my cost without cutting corners, and I refuse to do that. FO is such an expensive part of this business (and the most fun!), but, for a highly fragranced candle, FO will run up the cost quite a bit. In my experience, soy candles are definitely more expensive to make! HTH

The other day I did a trade with another CT member, and she requested this FO mix. I used Peak's Pomegranate (which I LOVE!), and C & S Fuzzy Navel, and WOW! Its a twist on a Spiced Cran/Orange. I will definitely have to start carrying this mix regularly! I sell fruit scents the best, and I'm always looking for a new way to re-invent my most popular scents.

what is she, about a size 6?

i just got circular labels today. i use print shop. the template itself is circular, but i cant get it to align. anybody have any tips before i pull out my hair?
