  1. Veronica, HTH.... http://floridasoapsupplies.com/gpage17.html When I get back to GA we can share local suppliers!
  2. I like Caroline Candle Co. better; I think it ties in extremely well with the look and presence of your parent company.
  3. Hey! I've been wondering wondering what became of your situation. I think having your friend come in with your products is an awesome idea! Your friend can rave about your products and say that it would be sooooooo convenient if she could find them in a retail shop! I wish you all the best! Please come back and tell us what's going on!
  4. Ive been looking for this too-- MC has nice ones, like 6 oz (only hold 4.7) for 9 bucks for a dozen, but I found that www.candlewic.com is a lot better.
  5. I think it looks great!!! Hopefully whenever Guido sees it he will ignore the fact that it wasn't posted prior to 9 PST. Good luck, I'll be praying for your kneecaps all weekend. But fear not, I hear that hot dog vendor in the hospital is looking for a roommate!
  6. Hi Danielle I agree with Michael on this one. I'm a wedding planner in an affluent and semi-exclusive part of GA. I can't tell you how many calls and emails I get about being on my preferred vendors list. It does take up a lot of my time: time from meeting with other vendors who are on the list or are currently working on an event I'm doing, time away from clients, time away from my marketing etc. I wish I did have time to listen to someone's gimmick (not meant in a bad way), but I just don't. I do love however when the vendors are considerate of my time and send me a package. A nice photographer/videographer sent me a DVD with his work on it along with a full sheet of references, letters from brides, and pricing sheets. A band sent me their latest CD and an invitation to their jam at a local lounge. A caterer called and left a message (after hours) that we would be receiving lunch the next day on them. It was DELICIOUS. And now they are one of my vendors. I can appreciate things like that because I know they thought enough of my time and theirs to capitalize on it. You never know the type of day another person is having. You don't know how you might come off to them or they to you-- but your work speaks for itself. Nevermind the crappy day I've had, I can always recognize great photojournalism, the perfect pitch of a tenor, etc. What I'm saying is, and I mean no disrespect, sometimes, I just don't have time for "cute". I've got to get ready for a TV show, client meetings, vendor meetings, site scouts, plugs, press releases, etc. I really don't have time to listen to some vendor gush over themselves in a "I Love Me" monologue. That's not saying I don't want to, because I would love to do face-to-faces with my vendors initially. I would love to have an assistant to do just that, but even I hate the gatekeeper thing. Just give it a go with Michael's suggestion with at least one vendor that you are trying to "woo". I would especially do it with this one-- only because of the mix up. You don't want to go in there falling over yourself apologizing for her staff's mistake-- it could come off wrong in so many ways: her help is incompetent, you're bitter, you're pushy, etc. A nice sample of your products with a nice handwritten note saying "Sorry for the mix-up. A complimentary gift from Pure Henry etc." might be a nice touch. I see you're hungry and you've got heart! You are going to do awesome with getting your products in stores. T
  7. I love Photoshop CS It does great with even giving my pictures professional touches.
  8. He says no prob. Just give him credit. *turns head and covers mouth to muffle a giant cackle*
  9. Guido wants to know if you can put a small border around the picture and info. He keeps saying something about saying that to you before. But it was VERY hard to hear him over top of the chainsaw. But he did say something about him liking it.
  10. I like the one in the crystal ball actually, that looks a bit more realistic.
  11. Hey lady! I'm not too sure what to make of it, I guess because I don't know what it is. What is it going to be used for? It just doesn't grab me for some reason. Sorry:cry2:
  12. Give me a break!! The label was a markup, not a final copy. I can remember in grade school that you didn't have to submit your sources with your rough draft. It seems to me that someone was quick to draw and ran off and told Cheryl that someone was taking credit for her artwork. Sharon also didn't list who the font was by either in her PRELIMINARY draft of her label-- should that have been done? From the looks of it, she also used a taupe color, should we track down the guy who created Hexidecimal colors and give him credit too? Cheryl gave herself a bad rap-- what person who runs a business would start a thread of drama on her own business board? Moreover, why come here to a place that could help you get business and act like you don't have the good sense God gave a mule? I think that Sweet only jumped in because her name was mentioned with the creation of the label and since Cheryl insinuated that there was a bit of thievery going on, that bundled her up in it as well.
  13. Does anyone have these? I would love to see a picture--- the one in the CAS catalog is in black and white and doesn't give good detail. TIA
  14. When I first glanced, it was hard to really distinguish the name of company. I was thinking of a different color altogether. If you're using Kraft labels, maybe a dark brown? It might help you to put an overlay on your gfx program so that you can see it up against a background like a kraft to see if you like it.
  15. Hi Jim Not too sure; but I had a MMS Lovespell that had a great HT/CT in both soy and paraffin.
  16. Thank GAWD this is over! Cheryl, you have some atrocious business practices, that's for sure. Your desperate need for validation (I'm not even talking about the credit issue, but the 'cliquish' phrases of how many people have emailed you and the throngs of support of a bunch of nameless faces) has caused you to come out of this less than stellar. There are lot of people on here who use the prim design and this could have been an awesome opportunity for you. If you admit that the situation was handled improperly in the beginning but immediately fixed, I'm not too sure what your beef is, or why you felt the need to keep coming back or to bring your dirt to your own doorstep (from the looks of it YOU started your own thread on your message boards) and only joined here to delve in this madness. If you need further validation and comiseration, stay on your side. At any rate, I'm glad everything has worked out for everyone in the end.
  17. NP! I know how frustrating it can be! I think you will be pleased! The Heavenly Cinnamon Buns are RIDICULOUSLY good. I tested it immediately after it set up and the throw was ridiculous. Too bad my wick sucked! But I digress.....
  18. Im so sorry I know how frustrating it can be! If it helps, I personally think that Scented Bean's FOs work exceptionally well in soy. Another that I like is the Spiced Pumpkin Souflee from Scent Works. EXCELLENT throw hot and cold in soy. I HTH
