well, it was still a CUTE idea:wink2: ! very fun project, i did it with my daughter and she loved it! by the time we were done, i was SICK of the scent we used:laugh2: !

I should have elaborated on that kimberly......i have been doing candles for a little over 6 years (still a newbie imo). i have NEVER done any type of fundraising. sorry about that! that's a great idea though....i could just give here some different things to try for herself and then go from there! THANKS SOOO MUCH FOR THAT SUGGESTION! It would just feel good to do something to help. i looked at some old posts on here and saw the recipe for a scented playdough type air freshener. i played with them, but i couldn't get it to harden all the way. i'll keep tinkering with it and maybe those will work. it's such a cool idea......if i could get the dern things to harden! thanks for the help!

you know, every time that i have tried to make the aroma bead ornies.....i sniff it, it smells great....i put it in my car and i can hardly smell a thing. that ticks me off b/c they are soooo cute! thanks for the advice on how to price them. i was kinda scared someone would respond and be a smart a**. i've had that happen on here before. i know that they already do a yankee candle fund raiser......and i really don't think i can compete as far as candles go. a lot of people don't want to stray from a popular name brand. anyways...thanks SOOOOO much.

ok, here's the story......i enrolled my daughter in a private school this year and they do a few different fund raisers. i was thinking that the little cardboard airfresheners would probably do good. i have NEVER done this before so does anybody know what i should sell them for? should i suggest them order so many, like a min. order? any advice is greatly appreciated!

hey!!! no fair.......pm me too with the info!

DOES ANYONE KNOW OF A TRUE PUMPKIN FO? ALL OF THE ONES I HAVE TRIED ARE SPICED. ANY RECS. WOULD BE GREAT!

wait.....i just looked through the recipes.....and there's A TON of things you can do with m&p soap....never even knew this. sorry if i offended anyone!

yall are probably right! i have done the m&p soap before and it kinda got boring to me......melt, color, scent, pour..melt, color, scent, pour...you know how it is. i kinda wanted to try something more interesting without having to order premade bases and doing the same thing as with m&p soap. it does sound HARD and intimidating. yes, i have already ordered and got in all of my ingredients. i reckon i'll give it a whirl and see what happens:undecided . thanks for the replys and help!

ok, i got 2 recipes off the herbarie and lots of questions! silky soft shower gel-it says to soak guarsilk with d.water and to later add hyd. wheat and dl pathenol--heat to around 170. in the mean time, it says to (before hyd. wheat and dl path. are added to water mixture) heat cocoglucoside ss with bbc, smc taurate and ped 150 until melted! i'm so confused! are they basically saying i need 2 pots going? pearlescent cream shampoo with cocoglucosede ss-it says to use a double boiler since mix. is thick and may burn but it doesn't say what temp. to heat things up to! can i even get it up to temp with a double boiler? i hope and pray one of you can maybe help me! thank you all soooooo much! this is my FIRST attempt, do you think these recipes maybe too advanced for a newbie? any advice is REALLY appreciated!

you wouldn't believe this, but i JUST ordered my scales wed. and paid over $50 for the sucker! this really sucks! lol!

well i did it.....ordered the happy dupe and bs fantasy. now i just can't wait to get the suckers in. you know what's so funny......i've ordered the fo to make lotion........and now i have to figure out how to make the lotion! lol!

omg....don't get me started on ng!!!! i just started ordering from them and i can't stop! all have been great! let's see...... bermuda triangle----love it! caribbean---great throw! raspberry zinger----yummy ocean downy clean breeze---strong! butterfly hugs i have about 6 more that i haven't even used yet...but i can't wait to. there's just so many! you will not be dissappointed!

you just had to do that didn't you..........i'm a big SUCKER for a sale! i guess i'll just go there and order a couple of 4 ozers! thanks a lot! lol! thank you for letting me know how to figure out if it's safe for b&b!

trust me, i know exactly what you mean! you wouldn't believe how many orchid's i have ordered and all of them are very faint smelling! i hate that! thanks for the heads up on ng! i'll have to order a sample from millcreek! do you use millcreek in b&b or candles?

i can second that! i quit making candles for about 2 years and thought that all would be ok. WRONG! i had about 40 lbs of different fo's just go kapoot on me! talk about smell bad! i have no idea why they do, i just know that they do!
