    OMG, I was actually thinking about that today. Since we let the candles cure for awhile after we first make them, I was wondering well what about when they're burning,do they really need to be cured all over again? Ok here's another smack on the head question. Say you're burning a votive and it has a nice melt pool and once the melt pool has cooled wouldn't the fragrance be weaker because of the last burning time? Ok you can smack me! I'm still trying to figure out the rule of thumb for curing time for votives,tealights, and jars.

    You guys are doomed! I know I am. I'm waiting for my samples and when they get here I'm gonna toss the box right back at the mailman. Then of course the box would break open and the scents would waft through the air to my nose which would result in me picking up all the samples,guard them with all my might as I head back to the computer to order some more. Then I'm gonna get a phone call from Visa stating there has been a suspicious large amount of $ charged just for oils. Yup I'm doomed. Shannon

    When Stacey does come back, bump all the threads regarding her oils so she can see them right in front of her,LOL! She'll get the hint Geez, that's going to take up the whole page, isn't it? Shannon

    That is what most commonly used for soy tealights although you would have to test as some oils (particularly the heavier ones) can cause the wick to drown or have a very low flame. I'm using both 13-342Ts and 18-342Ts depending on the oils. HTH!! Shannon

    Don't use the wax that was boiled next time you try again. It's no good anymore.

    Yikes! That's way too high of a temp. What kind of dyes are you using (blocks,chips,flakes?) and what brand are they? Also what wax are you using? With this info, we could help pinpoint the problem.

    I'M STILL NOT LISTENING TO YOU!!!!!! (this I'm running past you with my hands over my ears!!):whistle: You are trouble,LOL!!! (Geez I don't know if I want to open my samples when they get here for fear of buying them up til they're out of stock!) Shannon

    It also needs a border to spice it up a bit whether a dark one or a light one. My 2 cents!! Shannon

    Hi Julia! While the idea is great, you might want to separate those jars alittle farther from each other as they will compete for oxygen which could affect their burning results. I used to do that until I came across that information and it really makes sense! Shannon

    Yes that's what it looks like, an automated reply for complaints. I would call them this time and complain about the candle AND their crappy email response. They otta read the 'How important is Business Integrity' thread too!! Wow ten days?? They probably didn't want to get around to responding your email until long as possible.

    Are those tealights in them? I love the color combination as well as the incorporation of sun,sea & sky in mind. Great job!! Shannon

    Very pretty candles!! Shannon

    Baby food jars are a popular choice for containers.

    LMOF!!! OMG I hear ya, I hear ya! I go through the exact same thing when trying to print out the scent names on my 'good custom made labels'. Geez by the time you realized what's happening and frantically trying to cancel the print button which for some reason has a 30 seconds delay before it actually stops the printing, the whole sheet is done! (As well as your 'managed to squeeze 25 cuss words in one sentence!') Well at least you vented to Avery instead of throwing the printer out the window. Mine is sitting dangerously in front of one. LOL!! Shannon

    Thanks gals for your input. It looks like I'm going to start ordering some samples soon! Shannon

    Vanilla Snow You can tell I'm enjoying this name game!

    Oh! There you go how about 'Frosty's Dessert' or 'Frosty's Treat'
  20. theoldehearth
    I've had people just randomly picked out the candles just for their colors never minding what scents they are.
  21. theoldehearth
    Santa's Vanilla Dessert, Reindeer's Treat, O Night Divine, I don't know, maybe someone will have better ones! Shannon

    I'm toying with the idea of having a seperate line dedicated to Angels so I've been searching high and low for scents anything to do with angels and/or heaven and came up with these. Angel Wings Amazing Grace Angel Baby Angel Food Cake Angel Heart Heavenly Plumeria Halo Heavenly Innocence These are from various suppliers and I've never tried them but I'm curious what are your thoughts on them as far as scent name choices and their scent if you tried them. I know there are probably more out there but these seem to be the more common ones. Thanks!!! Shannon

    Thanks Sherri! So it did get renamed?? Shannon

    I have a used bottle of KY 'Kentucky Christmas' that I purchased and I really like it. Only I cannot find the description nor the fragrance on their website unless it's under another name like "Christmas Past" or it's been discontinued? Does anyone know about this scent and discription? It smells alot like a Christmas tree but has other notes in it that I don' know what they are. Any help is appreciated!

    I just HAD to step onto this thread, didn't I? You see what you made me do? I just HAD to check out her website and just HAD to order some sniffies. I know once I get them I will probably HAVE to order some more!! Ya know I'm on a tight budget and I was doing really good until now! LOL!!! I'm gonna have to keep on walking past you next time with hands over my ears 'dum dee dee dum' I didn't hear you!! :tiptoe:
