Crying Moon

Ahhhhh, Sneaky Peak! I'd love to know how their orange chiffon cake is. I'm testing some now from another company and not quite getting the results I was hoping for.

lol...it's all good, Rob!

How clever! You're just outta control! $Cha-ching $$

I don't have any experience with select shades, but here's a wacky little story for ya....... I work in a place where we have a Slush Puppie machine. If you're not familiar with a slush puppie, it's basically like a mister-misty from dairy queen. If you have no idea what a mister-misty is, you really need to get out more and drive on down and order one. Ok, back to the story. The girls and I used to play around and see what different slush puppies we could come up with. Sounds like tons of fun, right? Well....my concoction was called a "Black Betty" Of course I had to sing the song from the 70's. Bam-a lam, ohhhhhhblack betty. This confirmed just how nuts I really was. Anyway, the colors I mixed to get the black slushie were, (RED) cherry, (BLUE) blue raspberry, and (GREEN) lemon lime. Give it a whirl, little girl! Feel free to sing the song while you mix. No one will hear ya. Go ahead on.

SW has a really nice Asiatic lily & cantaloupe. I've used it in b&b and it throws really nice in wax too. This one smelled so good to me I just had to put it in wax too.

Wow, that is so neat. My dad's always looking for woodworking projects. Going to put him to work. Nice find!! Let us know if your display helps attract people. I bet you could make a sign to go on top of it saying lip balms or whatever.

That Robert is the Shizzy!

Super. Hey, thanks for helping me though flightoffancy!!

I need to email a friend a design of a label I created in Avery Design Pro. Can a file from Avery Design Pro be turned into (saved) into a different type of file, like a JPEG so she can view it without her having to download the avery design program herself? I'm stratchin my head trying to figure this one out, and nothing is working.

I love the nice clean simple look. What sold the best for you, scent wise, and candle type? Your ribbon around the candles looks great too. Lot-a-freakin'-work ain't it?? lol

It'll give you a great handlebar mustache though!*faint*

The KB one works great, but wow, be extremely careful when using this. I remember when I first got mine, I was getting ready to do a craft show, my mom came over to help and asked what could she do. I needed a bunch of soap planed, and she went to work on them. "Ma, be very careful, that's super sharp!" 2 minutes later the bandaids were coming out. I'll use a small cotton garden glove when I plane. After seeing her hand all gashed up, it gives me the ibby-jiibys.

Yep, it's our drug of choice. At least you have the strength to "pass the bong" in the classifieds. I seem to bogard it all for myself. I've got boxes and boxes of good intentions in the basement loaded with dust.

We're putting up walls in the basement, so there's been alot of drywall and sawdust in the pot this week. To top it off, I needed to change a florescent bulb above my work table and you guessed it, it broke and exploded into smithereens all over the friggen place. What a mess. So now my pots got the week off. I need a time out.

That is a beautiful sight! .....singing...."You're my i-n-s-p-i-r-a-t-i-o-n" ok, I'm a nerd. :tiptoe:

hell yeah!

What a great idea. I'm all for simple and easy. Off to raid my cabinets.

I'm all over that hayride. Very pretty.

The eucalyptus spearmint is heaven in a bottle.

Thanks for the heads up, but you're just terrible, terrible I tell ya.

Looking for a great dupe to go in B&B. Any I should stay away from?

You got a freakin goldmine there. Those are awesome!

It seems you see it at every show. You get the application. 100% handcrafted items only. Ok, fine. You must list every item you are going to sell. No problem, fine. You see advertisements in the paper and such saying this is a CRAFT show. 100's of booths of handcrafted items....blah blah blah. You think great! Sounds good. Day of the show. Setting up you notice tables full of Avon, imported trinkets, etc. It feels like you're just spinning your wheels. I'm thinking WTF. Plenty of crafters complain, but nothing is done. At the end of the day you have dozens of p*ssed off crafters. Next year rolls around. Well, the quality craft people are no longer signing up for the show, because they think, "hey man, why should I go sit there with Avon right next to me?' The show promoters are seeing that they need more money coming in, so now the Home Interior floodgate is lifted. "Come on in, your money's green, we'll look the other way." Another craft show down the tubes. In a way letting the other crafters judge what is handmade is good, because they go around and do it anyway. The thing they need to change is that they need to LOWER the fee if they are shifting the responsibility to other crafters. They want it both ways. Sorry, but ummmm no. Over time, all that is going to be accomplished is that you will rarely see a good old school craft show. There is more and more imported junk slipping thru the cracks all the time. Show promoters want more and more money and now they want us to do their job for them? I don't think so.

I love the one from Tony's. I've only used it in candles and am very pleased with the throw.

Yep, your votives are like a container candle trapped in a pillars body. As it burns it will start to liquify the entire top 1/8" to 1/4" as it burns down. It should last around 15 hours give or take, to burn the whole thing.
