My local grocery store carries it. Check your local grocer.

Thanks - they probably do; however, family owned stores - sometimes not cheaper than WW. I will be checking around there when I go in.

OMG - I went to WallyWorld last night to pick up a 4lb box of PM and what use to cost $9-10 about 6mths ago is now $16!!! I couldn't believe the price hike! I don't go to WallyWorld for much anymore and now it's going to be even less!

Anywho - does anyone buy their powdered milk in bulk? If so, where? I've got a friend that owns a deli so I'm thinking of checking out the restaurant food suppliers around here so there's no shipping involved. Does anyone go that route?

TIA and have a great weekend!

grrrrreat ... one more thing to haul to craft shows!! they're too cute. i've already searched for the shaper and there's someone selling them on e-bay for $1.99/each. Just so you know!

may be a silly question - has anyone made M&P salt bars?

Haven't had a beignet in years. I really miss them. I also miss having a decent po' boy too.

I know it's not the same - but get a can of biscuits - cut them in half or 4's - fry - add powdered sugar (and butter if you want!!) My mom did this with frozen bread dough from the store also!

OR - for the real deal you can order Cafe Du Monde mix.

Oh - and about the original question - I haven't seen this scent at Cajuns - nor have I tried TC - but I'd like to know if you were please with the outcome.

No I just took my lotion base, colored and scented then did layers of it with clear aloe gel. That simple.

Slight hi-jack!

I'm finding clear aloe gel to be really sticky/yucky. Is this right? I tried some in a muscle rub and didn't like the way it turned out. Tried mixing it w/Shea/Mango butter and it didn't harden up last night - felt nicer going on BUT lost the muscle soothing feel!! Oh gees - back to the drawing board.

Sorry - forgot about this post (a little too much Mardi Gras ) - Thanks for all the compliments!

Great job. I love the confetti look. Perfect for Mardi Gras. Are they 4" dia. Pillars?

Arlene - they are 4" dia pillars.

Just an FYI - For the 'chunks' I use marshmallow silicone molds. I've got 6 of them so I can make a lot at one time. Much easier than having to cut the chunks.

Ford Explorer Sport Trac ... works GREAT - good to drive otherwise also - gas mileage not too bad. We can fit tables, tent and shelving in back bed with lots of extra room and cover w/tarp if needed. Products fit in back of cab. We've trimmed down a lot on what we take to shows and now it takes us about a 1/2 hr to 45 min to load when the first show we did took almost 2 hours!!! Oh how we learn as we grow!! lol

I love those colors!

WOW!! I want one. It's so neat and tidy ...

thanks guys!

CindsyS - it's reeeeally easy - you should give it a try. I'm tempted to make these only and forget the wicked candles!! They still give off some scent because I scent the chunks and the clear wax.

Great ideas! I'm sure anyone will be happy to get that set as a gift!

that's very cool!

looks great! will have to put this on the list of must trys!

wow! great job for first attempt. love the colors.

that's really cool - i'm going to have to get some of this stuff and try it out.

Made a few of these to sell around work ... first time I made these using the tea light holder and it was a lot easier than I thought it'd be.

Sorry - not the best pictures

ditto on the above vendors

i use the cub and vogue bags from nashville - i've also used papermart before

i get shredded paper and tissue from the dollar tree or other discount stores

I've used the C1 for years and haven't added anything to it but scent and color.

I was actually just wondering about adding Vybar or something else to it to make it a little harder...

beautiful candle ... and boy do i miss lake tahoe!! so beautiful this time of the year ... until the snow dumps and causes the highway to shut down!!! enjoy looking at your photos.

tiny hijack ... I can't get body sprays to sell for anything! Thinking about dropping them after I sell what I've got made ... just never know I guess.

Those came out great!!!

Can't help but already think about Mardi Gras ... it's soooo early next year ... the season starts in less than a month!!! Yippeeee!! :yay:

where in 'Central' California are you?

pm'd ya!

Bankcard - which is where I have my CC service through - has an online service available that's an additional charge each month. They say they sent a letter in May that I had 30 days to cancel out. Oh well ... just need to pay more attention. I just probably thought it was a monthly statment and filed it away unopened!
