Thanks Talltaly, I did not purchase the soap but, just trying to learn as much as I can. I plan on to start selling my soap way down the road as I like to experiment. (probably too much)

Thanks, I am just getting started in soap making  about 4 months ago and I am pretty happy with my recipe and feedback but still not perfect. (maybe in another year or 2,3,4) Always wanting to learn as much as I can.

Just curious if anybody uses this?  

I saw this on a label and wondered what this is?

Scented I like the idea of adding ginger, that might be the key along with the cinnamon and or the red hot cinnamon. If I come up with something close I will definitely let you know, who knows we might come up with something 10x better! 

NancyJo, thanks for the info. 

Scented and Pcbrook thanks for the info, right now I use clove from the candlemaker store which is not that bad but is lacking in strength and depth. So I guess it is time to place another order to flamings, unfortunately I just ordered from them two weeks ago.

Scented do you get in the red clove some orange peel or some type of zest maybe?  Looks like a lot of testing coming up 

The information was on their fb page.

FB has a good vanilla ice cream that I use all the time for a mixer

Thanks, I like the idea and I think I will start with the clove and regular cinnamon first. I must first have to try to find a better clove then the one I have been using.

I will report back when I have found something that will work. Thanks again.

Since Peaks is now not opening, I really need to replace Red Clove. This clove was the best I have ever used. I use this for one of my best selling chunk melts and i am running low. (errrrrr)

Any help would be greatly appreciated as always.

Agree with Moonstar and Candybee. You really cannot go wrong with either of them.

I have a KD-8000 Myweight scale. The scale has an plastic cover that is on a hinge and cost about 40 dollars but I have had mine for about 3 years with no problems.

Thanks Moonstar, Belinda, Trapper, sorry I have not replied back sooner but my mouse is having issues. (Computer mouse) I should have stated this is for my melts and not my candles at this time. Throw is usually not an issue, I use a blend of 4625 & 4627. I do need to reorder from  Daystar, FB and Backwoods, so timing would be perfect. Moonstar I have a list somewhere to order from RE (still trying to get organized after Christmas). This mouse is driving me crazy over 10 minutes to write this Has anyone of you ever did a blend of cinnamon and maple? This blend would not be something I would have thought of but, as of today I had 4 people ask for it. Thanks for all the help you all are awesome! 

I am looking for a good maple fragrance that I can mix with cinnamon, per request. I am personally not a big fan of maple because it makes me fell a little nauseous. So if any one has any suggestions , it would be as always appreciated.

Somebody is in trouble!!!! Very cute.

Both!!!! (I know smart donkey rear end answer) You did such a great job on both of them it is such a hard choice. Well I do agree with lovely with the elegance of #2, but I think I like #1 , with the happy valentines day font of  #2 . Whatever you choose you can not go wrong. Great Job!

I kept telling myself I am totally staying out of this thread, and to think it all started with cleaning and making soap. I must say that I can just see you sixsome (started with a 3 some now it is up to six) going to the movie theater together but, all six of you separate at an empty theater so you would not disturbed one another! I was having a really bad day but this thread brought a big smile to my face.

Just googled it Aromatic Fragrances International 

Did not mean to repeat but, you type faster than me. (could be also the migaine medicine I took 3 hours ago)

Aromatic Fragrances International

Hello and welcome.

That would look great. I use 2 oz oval portion cups myself. I went ahead and tried this out, I put 4 cups 2 high and then placed the 5th cup on its side so the label is facing the window. Then I placed another cup in the bag. The result is that they would look great, the cup facing the window was a perfect height. I think you came up with a great idea but I do not think it would work for me. The market that I am at is open every weekend, most people only buy 1 or 2 of the same scent but, like you said there are many ways you could do this.

Don't be sorry ,that is a big help. The candle makers store is close by me, the only thing is I like a lot of their fragrances, they smell great OOB. Unfortuntly when you put them in 

wax they are very very weak. I use a few of their fragrances and some are my best sellers, so I will definitely check country coconut out along with WSP. The candle maker store

is where I get my wax at, as I am very lucky because it is so close. They are very nice and with great customer service. Once I got some candle jars and when I arrived home they had the wrong lids. I called them and were willing to ship them next day air. To make a long story short I returned back there and they gave me a free case of jars. Thanks Belinda.

I am looking for a good coconut fragrance that  I can use as a mixer. I will be making melts and chunks, any help will be appreciated.

Well you know how the saying goes if you do one good deed a year, you will only do one not so smart thing (shall we say), a year. With that out of the way you are good for the next 11 months. I really just made this up but, I am sure the rest of the year will be great!!!!!!!!

Let's all hope they will have the same great fragrances and also be as nice as Brent and Kimberlie were.
