Hi -- I was alerted by a customer about the credit card discussion & issues posted here and wanted to let you know about how we process orders. Orders are submitted through a secure, encrypted server and credit cards are processed through Authorize.net. No employees in our warehouse ever see credit card information - they only see the paper "pick" orders that you receive in the box with your order. We take only Visa and MasterCard - we do not accept AmEx, Discover or Paypal. My personal (not business) Visa has been compromised several times in the last 8 years and I've been reading how CC theft continues to worsen - but it seems to be through transactions in person rather than online. Technology has improved and stealing identity is easier than ever.

Shaw Mudge went out of business 6-12 months ago. They sold out to several other companies - their formulas were spread out all over.

September: Apple Cinnamon Harvest Moon

Trying to fill the container with glittered wax won't work - the wax is opaque and the glitter will fall to the bottom before the wax has cooled. I've tried something unique that works. I melt some gel wax and add glitter to it. Pour a wick container about 1/3 full of gel and swirl it around to properly coat the inside. Pour out, let cool, and then make container candle as usual. Adding a coating of glittered gel gives an appearance of the container being full of glittered wax. The burn is not affected. HTH!
