  1. Wow ,I am shocked to hear this . I have such great results with these same beads .Are you sure you received the correct beads ? I have had no issues at all with my batches & have baked over 3-400 ornies already. Could possibly be the paint in the interior of your cutters ????? Puzzled on this & so sorry your having the issue . Kat
  2. Lol I don't blame you ! That's a high price to pay for ice cream . It is good thou ,love the groom's cake chocolate one too 😉
  3. Shelly ,I just read this & that's a good question. I bet the Kool aid man mold is awesome . It may be a tm infringement ,if the word Kool aid is embedded into the mold kwim ? Very interesting question .
  4. Beautiful firestarters Trapp! Lol I would have to buy the pinecones lol .I don't have access to many pine trees ,living so close to the coastline in South Tx . Love your creations 😉
  5. Absolutely just Amazing ,such talent . Love the colors !
  6. JC, Your soap is Stunning! I admire your work ,I know these have to go fast , I want them all. The tails are brillant & colors are perfect .
  7. I know exactly how you feel ,your correct no one can possibly know how bad the pain is ,unless they have the same condition . That's so sad about your fall , unbelievable . I have finally found a great doctor & he is very helpful . He does not believe in surgery ,unless it is absolutely necessary . I respect him for that kwim. I know surgery would be my last resort & I am doing ok for now . I have ok days & not so good days as well . I am glad you still make your crafts & this does help in my opinion to stay as active as possible. I probably have this in my lower as well ,just never got a MRI on the lower spine ,it bothers me ,not near as much or often as my neck thou . I do realize the pain you have to face. I deal with chronic pain so much & it's become a part of life now . We just somehow learn to deal with it . I just stay positive as I possibly can & keep strong . I refuse to quit & love pouring wax ,making bath bombs & car freshners . I also love cooking & gardening .I love your waffle melts ,just saw your pic,awsome .
  8. I agree Trapps ! Flamings Summer Scoop is wonderful .I use Paraffin & get great results as well . Yes we need to find some Blue Bell ice cream oil ,sounds so delicious right 😉
  9. Yes please let's us know ,sounds really delicious 😉
  10. I would love to know the supplier that carries BB Ice cream scent . It sounds fantastic . Let me know if you find the oil . Thanks in Advance ! Kat I have heard great reviews on FB Vanilla Ice cream FO 😉
  11. Yes in Brenham ,I live about a hour&half from the BB Cremery, such a awesome place to visit to. You can actually take a tour & sample all the flavors . I once received a free BB Ice cream scoop from them .
  12. JC ,I love the BB Brides cake & get it at our local grocery store . The BB is here in Brenham Tx & we get that flavor . There is also a Grooms cake ,chocolate flavor with cake pieces ,very yummy . I live about a hour & half from the actual Blue Bell creamery in Brenham Tx . It is the absolute best ice cream ever . If you ever go to Brenham Tx you can actually take a tour & sample the flavors ,lol they also will give you a BB ice cream scoop for visiting . Well they did years ago & still may . Have not been in a long while . Lol if this ice cream would not melt ,I would send you a half gallon . It is awesome & we always keep a few flavors in our freezer to indulge in at night . I love their Peaches & homemade vanilla 😀
  13. Yes lmk your results after you test Do you use soy or paraffin? Sweet cinnamon pumpkin sounds great . I love all things cinnamon lol.
  14. I have had steroid injections ,helps for a little while . I have not had surgery & do not plan to kwim. I have spinal stenosis & let me tell you ,it is awful at times . I have to it in my cervical & thoratic spine . I get most of my pain in my neck area & I tend to aggravate things alot by being hard headed . I should not lift more than 3lbs ,do I listen NO lol. A slab of wax is 10 & I have been known to lift way more . Lol my grandson is a year old & he weighs near 30 lbs. I pick him up constantly & pay dearly afterwards. I am pretty hard headed & determined to stay as active as possible,being 55 with this condition is certainly no fun . I just keep on keeping on. I pour my wax ,along with gardening & many other task. I am a work Aholic lol. It sounds like your doctor actually needs to read your chart right . Did the surgery help you at all? I am no way going to let them cut into my spine .The surgery does not have a great success rate & just to terrified of ever getting surgery . I do not think it's worth the risk at all. I admire your determination with candle making ,after going thru such a major surgery. I look forward to the new waxes I ordered & results. I may have to try some 4627 again after reading your post lol. I just remember the wax being really soft & greasy . I think it would be worth the mess if performance turned out really great .
  15. I use 4630 & 4625 blend for melts & I also use C Wic in house 129 blend for many scents . I do not blend the 129 ,performs good on its own . I recently ordered some 4636 container to blend with the 4625 . I have been wanting to test many different combos for a while now . I also have read JC a member here blends 4794 with 4625 & gets good results . I plan to test this blend as well . I do like the blend I use ,just enjoy blending waxes & see what I come up with . It's very interesting to me to play around with different formulas. I only use 4630 alone when making container candles . I do have some palm on hand to try ,when I find some extra time . Lol I only have a presto with a spiget for my melting .I have to slice & hammer to break into smaller portions for melting . The 4630 slices easily & the others I break with a hammer ,kind of fun if my neck is not bothering me . I have major neck & spine issues & have to take many breaks when super busy .I know what you mean about spine issues ,chronic pain is not a walk in the park . I have good days & bad . I try to stay positive & do the best I can . I love my wax crafting & refuse to quit lol.
  16. I did use 4627 years ago & found it to be messy to work with ,so I never really gave it a chance . I lack patience in candle making & make lots of melts . I have finally mastered a few scents with 4630 & had great results . I plan to start on more testing soon ,when I can get the time to do so . I stay so busy with melts & my candle making has been put on the back burner . I have always loved the look of palm candles 😀
  17. I use & order 4630 from Aztec & Flaming . I get a different texture between both of these waxes (4630),this has been the case for years now .The slabs from Flaming are much harder than Aztecs . I have a much harder time cutting thru the wax with Flamings I have nothing bad to say about Flaming ,as I love this supplier. I just prefer the softer 4630 paraffin . I find Aztecs is much easier to cut & for some reason I get better results with the softer slab .The color is slightly different as well . I have also received 4630 from C Makers & this supplier had the softest 4630,I have ever used. The color is definitely darker ,has a deep yellow tone to it & very greasy texture. I have often wandered why the waxes are all different & performance is not the same with between the different batches . All are IGI waxes . I was reading Lone Stars 4630 reviews & this was enough to scare me away from ordering & trying their 4630. I purchased a slab of 4636 just to satisfy my curiousity .The 4636 container from LS had very good reviews .I have zero experience with the 4636 ,look forward to the results . I know now I am not crazy after reading this thread ,have tried 3 different 4630 waxes & none have been the same between the 3 suppliers ,kind of strange imo.This has been going on for years now . It would be nice to get consistent performance from one wax kwim Kat
  18. You can always offer it for sale here on CS .I am sure many would be interested in this wax 😉
  19. I really like 4630 . Have you ever tried 4636 ? I ordered a slab from Lone Star ,due to good reviews .
  20. Keeping this thread going is great. I adore FB Fairy Garden followed by all things Peach . I would love any Peach recommendations ,right off the vine juicy peach scents. TIA
