As much as I would like to make money from making candles I really don't have tiime to put that much effort into it. I have a full time job, a part time job, a husband, 2 birds and a cat. So very little time for me. But the up side is I really enjoy making candles and my co-workers buy from me to help support my habit. If I were to really put pen to paper I probubly break even, which for me, is good enough. I don't know to many hobbies out there that finance themselves. I'm sure if I would get involved in farmers markets or craft fairs it would make me some profit w/o having to have a full time booth or store front. Good luck in what you decide to do. I'm playing with soy right now but I think when I run out I'm going to stick with j223. I find it easy to work with and it has less cure time and you don't have all the heat to 190 let cool to 100 time to deal with. Since my time is limited I can make J223 candles twice as fast as a soy. But the challenge of soy has given me plenty of test candles to burn.

I have a friend who loves Hot Buttered Rum scent. Who has the best smelling butter rum scent out ther?. Bittercreek has a Butter Rum allspice but I haven't tried it. Opinions wanted. thanks
