I had a real proactive one a few monhts ago.. Thought he way "just a guy" he sent me flowers when i was sick.. then he asked me.. if he sent a check for $10100.00, could i cash it for him, i when i said i didn't have a checking acct, he got real aggressive,and talking about how i could keep half, if i could just send him some money so he could get back to the US..

LMAO, gotta love their techniques. lol

Alot will depend on the "pet Odor" formula you are using.. if you are using fragrances to cover up and such

Candlewic sells molds for these under the term "buttons" hearts are also available..

Having Been doing Shows for 13 years now, I can tell you that the "no food or beverage" is a major no-no. Considering that many vendors work by themselves, one cannot leave there booths without sacraficing sales. As far as having a hotel resturant. You are now asking vendors to shell out more of their hard earned money. Many people have specially dietarty conditions (i'm a "no-carber") and i can't expect that a hotel resturant could provide me with the correct way of food prep.

That being said, What i expect from a show, is a promotor who is reasonable and looks to grow, not someone who is just out to make a quick buck. How well your show preforms is a direct refection on you, not your vendors. I expect the promotor to be available at all times to deal with any problems that arise.From electricty problems to other vendors intuding in space. I expect a promoter to be aware of surrounding conditions, and alert vendors to it, and above all, i expect a promoter to understand who they are working for. The vendor, without vendors you have no show, listen to them and their concerns, when you see a pattern, strive to correct it.

Who's cucumber melon is most like the BBW? I had MC and did not like it.

Natures Garden has an exact dulpicate. Works great in Candles and in CP soap.

I posted a message earlier, but don't see it. So I'll try again. I saw my first gel candle at a Christmas party and was in awe. Since then, I have looked everywhere in my area and could not find one. So I made a few and being currently unemployed, think this might help. I would appreciate any advice you folks might have re: making gel candles and selling them. They are really beautiful. Thanks

Hey, i'm a bit confused as to what your actual question is.. could you clarify, such as what type of gel candles you are interested in

I have better luck here making and selling the tarts than I do candles. I don't know why that is but for some reason they just seem to go better. I don't really think that I have my candles priced too high. For the 4 oz. hex I have them at $3 and the prices vary up to the 8 oz. masons at $6 each. Anyway, does this happen to anyone else as far as being able to move the tarts better than the candles?

Alot of people are moving away from candles and going to tarts, because of the availablity of the electric tart melters. So many offices do not allow the burning of candles, so tarts are a good alternate. Even with the candle warmers out there, it takes so long for a standard apothecary (16 oz) to melt, that smaller tarts are much easier.

Yeah because I am a weaklin! The 4 # pot I can hardly get into the jar without spilling half of my wax....

Paper cups.. available at costo and sam's.. may have to double up.. pour from the pitcher into the cup, and then into the jar, you can bend the cup to form a "spout".. HTH

Hi. I have a lot of rather so-so FO and most come from known suppliers. I have learned my lesson and, in the future, will always order samples first! I know there is the list for what throws well in soy, but what smells great in soy may be a different item. Of course, everyone has a different taste, but still it would be fun to see what your favorite is. So, just for fun, if you could only carry one scent, which one would it be? So far, my favorite is Raspberry Guava from Millcreek. Beth

Sweet strawberry, from WSP, never thought i would replace my previous strawberry, but this is definatly THE ONE.

I am needing ice cube embeds for my gel wax glasses. Is there anyway that I can make my own? Would a regular wax work for this? I have some 160wax.

I mix 50/50 156 parrafin and hd gel wax. pour into a container and let cool. Use a pair of kitchen sissors and cut into pieces, you will be able to get different angles and such that will give the look of real ice cubes. I have also used the gel straight from the box, just cutting it at different rough angles.. depends on the look you are going for. HTH

I have used the plastic shoe box containers in the past. ACMOORE has them on sale for 3/$1 frequently. spritz with Pam and soap away. I've lost a very few due to the heat ( and frequent use) but easier to throw away a 33 cent container than battle my Kelsie mold sometimes.. LOL
