Beautifully presented, no wonder you did so well, everything looks so good together. Congratulations!

WOOHOO........3rd & 4th layers done.

5th layer setting.....it's so much easier when you can get your fingers in, I found I could gauge the amount of pressure much better & get deeper indentations.

2nd layer setting up ready for being spooned!

What did you do?

I think the wax was too cool so it cracked away from the side of the mould.

I've tried again & it's better so I left that & did second colour.

Still not great but it didn't crack off so I'm going to leave that too.

Sally.

I've not used that FO but I have had it happen with a Berry Bubblegum tin. It got worse with age but burned really well, however I really don't like the FO so it won't be a problem in future.

I've had strong vanilla's & FO's with vanilla in rusting wick sustainers so I'm guessing the pumpkin souffle has a bit of vanilla in it too.

No clue as to what to do to stop it happening tho.

I went to a local supplier and same thing smelled nothing like cinnamon.What about cinnamon bark eo?

Ground cinnamon & cinnamon sticks are from the bark so I think cinnamon bark EO would be the one to go for........I've got a little cinnamon leaf EO & its not what I want either but I can't find cinnamon bark EO anywhere yet, now I'm wondering if it exists.

Sally.

Fabulous.

Sally.

Sickeningly gorgeous........you always do a great job with your rustics.

Sally.

I have a digital infra red laser thermometer too which I will check with the ice method........I've been meaning to do it with boiling water but my brains like a sieve so I keep forgetting .lol.

Sally.

Melt some paraffin and put some wick in and wait until it stops "fizzing" - take it out and wipe excess with a paper towel and stretch it out. Works for me.

Thats just what I do, that way I can use as long or short a length as I need. Works out a lot cheaper too.

Sally.

We don't have candy corn here but thats a very pretty candle.

Sally.

Too cooooool.

Sally.

Oh my goodness, I'm in tears now.

Nat your generosity is wonderful, & I want to let everyone on here know.

P.m'ed you too.

Sally.

Been talking with Bert today (she's a joy to deal with) & I'm holding on till the new oils come in so I can fill a flat rate box for shipping over here.

I have a list of definates, a list of maybes & at this rate I'll have a list of recommended by CTers too. Christmas Pear & the Cinnamon Nutmeg & Clove are already on the definates.

I really do NOT need this temptation........or do I?

Sally.

I do like your soaps they all look dreamily creamy. & that stamp is cool too.

Sally

Gaynor I like the look of your palm as much as the others Sabrina & Inez have shown us.

I'm reading everything I can about these waxes & can't wait to try some for myself.

Sally.

Snazzy soap Meredith, very eye catching!

Sally.

I love that soap! & Karma's one of my all time faves.

Sally.

Now this is perfection!

Ditto!

Sally.

Bum I was hoping the psychic powers were 6 hours ahead too. Lol.

Guess I'll just have to keep an eye on the clock & make sure the kids arent on the puter when I want to be.

Sally.

I think you are 6 hours ahead of me ma'am.

He He....does that mean I can get mine made before you all have even started? LOL

Sally.

MMMMMM I can smell it from here.........er no actually it's the lemongrass candle on the mantle. I love lemongrass.

Sally.

I just got to figure out what time it's happening at & I'll be there.....I haven't a clue what the time difference is between there & here (Scotland).

Sally.

Now that I CAN try.

Sally.

LOL I love creative thinking......however I don't have a dryer!

I could get some dryer sheets to try tho.

Sally.
