That friggin LoveSpell that everyone is crazy about!! I also like Rose, Chocolate Covered Cherry and Champagne and Strawberries.

I used to buy from AH/RE when they would have their 4 oz'ers on ebay....great way to sample a few fragrances! They haven't had any fragrances listed in a long time though....

I cheat, I use the GM powder. I just add it to the warm oils and stickblend the crap out of it....I've used it in my veggie recipes as well as my lard recipes, works great!

Absolutely nothing! I'm waiting for my new Upland (the Christmas present I wasn't supposed to know about) to arrive!!! Then the soap pot will be putting in some overtime!

1. Oh yeah, I need to curb my spending as well.....:embarasse I'm getting to be like one of those old ladies who collect cats, only my "cats" are my fragrance oils that I hate to part with! I see the look on my husband's face when a new fragrance comes in....like, "are you kidding me?" (OMG, and we won't even discuss silicone molds!!!! ) 2. I would like to work on marketing a little more. Get my name "out there" even more. 3. I am thinking more open houses and home parties than craft shows....maybe kissing craft shows goodbye altogether. I'm really getting sick of doing all that work for little return!

I thought of a few more: Those super-flowery scents that smell of a gramma's cheap perfume or the inside of a whorehouse! Ick!! Also, NG's Gingerbread. It makes me want to vomit, then break something for being so stupid as to actually pour the vile-smelling stuff!!! I think it is disappearing from my line. I've suffered for my craft but I refuse to suffer that much!!!

Aaaaaahhhh, closed for the rest of the year! I am lovin' this so far! This season was complete chaos. I am looking forward to a nice little break. Anyone else closed & lovin' it??

I use Uplands, and I have a smaller homemade one for test batches.

LOL Imagine what pouring four pounds of candles in that scent was like for me! Ack!! (where's that puking smiley when you need it?) Needless to say gingerbread is not one of my faves!

I use NG's and this reminds me that I need to order another pound or two. It has been my biggest seller this season! It's nice when you get to pour alot of the scent you love too!

I used to use zerocatch.com for a few years and had their basic plan. I paid $6.95 for their bronze account. It was okay for starting out, but I eventually switched to DIY. I like it alot! You can have a free site through zerocatch.com, but the popups are downright ridiculous. It is sooo worth it to pay the 7 bucks a month to eliminate them IMO.

Did you get to play with this yet?

Dollar Tree had a few nice ones left. I just grabbed some today as a matter of fact! They also had some nice shred and wire ribbon that coordinated well with the baskets....check them out if you have one nearby! ps. also wanted to add that they had the cutest frosted containers....they look like chinese take out containers but are decorated. VERY cute! They would be great for packaging smaller things in. I was thinking a few bath bombs and a small lotion and spray!

Hello there! I must be in the minority, because Vanilla Pear had no smell OOB in my opinion! Another one that I think is abso-freaking-lutely nasty is Gingerbread. ack! I wanted to gag when I poured it! Another ick fragrance was Lotus Blossom. It smells like cheap perfume. With that being said, other than those few.....you can't go wrong with NG fragrances! Most of my line is NG fragrance, and I highly recommend them. Some top sellers for me are Pink Sugar, Fresh Linen, Strawberry Preserves, Hillbilly Homebrew (I rename mine), Pumpkin Crunch Cake, LoveSpell type (although they just renamed it) and Butterfly Hugs.

What luscious soap porn!!! Gorgeous, gorgeous soaps!

mwuuuaaahahahahaha!! Open every jar and blast her arse out of there with the scent of what REAL candles should smell like!!!

That Hyacinth Chula Orchid is wonderful!! I got a sample at the Midwestern Chandlers Gathering and couldn't stop sniffing the bottle! I got it in some soap petals and it smelled so beautiful....the whole bathroom smelled like a bit of Heaven! Now, for my Spring sellers....the usual florals....Lilac, Honeysuckle, Tulip, LoveSpell is a year-round one (I'm pretty sick of it but the customers still want it!), and Fresh Linen from NG does really well too.

Heartfelt's Lilac is dead on and super-strong!! Give it a try!

I found some kraft labels on ebay that fit my lip balm tubes perfectly. They also work great on square masons. PM me if you are interested.

Wow, noone? I guess I will be the lone guinea pig trying it out then! I will post my results when I do, but it won't be until after Christmas when I will have a little time to play.

Who are you using as your hosting, if you don't mind me asking? I am familiar with zerocatch.com's system as well as DIY.

I took the plunge and ordered some to try....has anyone here ever tried the stuff? I figured I would play after crazy season.....kinda like a Christmas present to myself. (I miss formulating and playing with new things/recipes!) :embarasse I'm hoping I didn't make a huge mistake by ordering this stuff and it is going to be one more new thing that gets tried and trashed! To anyone who has tried this, any tips/hints? Also, will I be able to package this in Malibus? (I still have quite a few leftover) Thanks in advance!

Oooooooh, that is pretty!!! Love it! Can I be your new friend so I can get a bar too?

I ordered from her as well and she put a super-duper rush on an order for me....I've got nothing but great things to say about her! She's tha bomb!

Very nice! I would give the same suggestion about the table covering. The plum set your products off so nicely! They looked like they could have been straight out of a catalog or something. The patterned table covering is too "busy" IMO and distracts my eyes away from your products. Other than that, I think your setup is freaking awesome and I can't believe people weren't stampeding to your booth to shop!
