  1. I know I'm a little early lol but I want to start testing before the last minute...crazy concept, I know :rolleyes2 . Can you tell me what your favorite fall scents are for bath bombs, sprays, etc. Thanks guys!!!
  2. Hi Sabrina! The yield is actually how many yards of wick it takes to weigh out to 1 pound. So, for the LX21, it takes 352 yards of wick to equal 1 pound. The ROC (rate of consumption) tells you how many oz. per hour that the wick burns up. I have read on Atkins & Pearce's website that their wicks are all tested in straight paraffin wax without additives so, if you add additives (FO, Steric, etc.), it doesn't really help that much because you are using a different type of fuel. I think the ROC does give you a good idea of a starting point and wicks in different families with similar burn rates. HTH, Kim
  3. Thanks Bizzy! Does she do more contemporary. I don't want a country or prim look. Thanks again!
  4. I have been pulling my hair out trying to design a new logo but I've come to realize I just am not that talented :rolleyes2 . Can someone please recommend a good designer. I am changing my line to use these jars with the black lid. http://www.fillmorecontainer.com/product.asp?deptID=3&sku=C12%2D02W&sID=T81LKP47HC1R9GNX9A2RHHUQFNSC5MNE The trick is to make them look contemporary. Also my company name is Jayko & Ashby so I have to be very careful about the font I use or people won't be able to read it lol. I am thinking I will have to go to clear labels but I'm up for any and all suggestions. Thanks everyone!!!
  5. Nothing again this weekend...I'n starting to see a pattern forming here :rolleyes2 . I'm getting ready to head off to Minnesota for the Bitter Creek Convention!!! I know I'm posting a little bit early but I'll be busy all weekend and want something to read when I get back haha! Hope everyone has a great weekend!!!
  6. I have nothing in mine :(We are celebrating my Mom & Dad's 25th Weding Anniversary this weekend so it won't be a productive weekend but it will definately be fun! After all that is over I have to start getting ready for my trip to Minnesota for the BC Convention next weekend!Hope everyone has a great weekend!!!
  7. I'm soo glad you had a good time. I will be at the TN convention and I'm going to the Bitter Creek Convention! May is going to be a fun month!!!
  8. Happy Friday!!! I hope everyone has had a good week. I have a million things I want to do this weekend but I probably won't get to do half of them I am making alot of BCN Lemon bundt cake CO products this weekend! I just love love love this FO and I'm not even a lemon person lol. I've got lotion, a 3-wick, some pillars and maybe even a few bath bombs to do. What's everyone else got going on.
  9. I was talking about marking the candle to know where your level line is. The level surface is great but I'll be damned if I've found one in this house anywhere haha
  10. That is the best idea I've heard of yet for leveling pillars! I don't know how you feel about BCN but you should submit that for their tip of the month.
  11. These are just adorable!!! My girls just love them. If you google "candle taper shaper" You will find alot of places to buy them. I found them at Candlechem too. http://www.candlechem.com/equipment.htm (scroll down the page)
  12. Thanks Teresa. You wouldn't happen to know the dimensions on the 7.5 would you?
  13. On their homepage, they have a scroll along the side and I'm pretty sure they have the jar I want but I don't know which one it is??? It looks just like the madison jar; straight sided with a thin bottom. Has anyone else ever ordered this paticular jar from them? [ATTACH]15361[/ATTACH]
  14. TGIF Everyone!!!!! I have about (10) tart scents to pour this weekend and then I'm going to play with pillars. I have to get my swap basket ready for the Bitter Creek Convention and there's nothing like waiting 'til the last minute Just wondering what all my other candle buddies were up to. Any shows this weekend?
  15. Beer and lots of it! It's been a bad week lol. I won't have my shrinkwrap until next week so I'm taking the weekend off from tarts but I am going to try salt bars this weekend! We are going to get close to 70 degrees this weekend though so it's going to be hard to stay inside...Hope everyone has a great weeekend!!!
  16. I didn't but you should DEFINATELY sign up for the colored candle one. Your candles will knock their socks off! My favs were the marbles :smiley2:
  17. The weekend is finally here!!! I have (9) more scents to pour tonight and my tart stock will be done! Well, at least until I get my new FOs from Flickers lol. That will bring my scent list up to about 60. After that, I think I will attempt to make liquid soap again because the soap I made with the class is cloudy . Hope everyone has a great weekend!
  18. I just put it in the comments when I check out
  19. The only picture I can find is Soap in the city's avatar. I hope she doesn't mind me mentioning it . It's soap that looks like a cream pie that you sell by the slice. Tooo cute!
  20. I voted for CPOP but I really want them all lol. Is there anyone that would be willing to teach a class on soap pies? I think they're awesome but have no idea where to start :rolleyes2 Thanks, Kim
  21. This is my favorite thread so I thought I would start it. Should have started it yesterday but my eyes were crossed from looking for the golden egg lol. I have been pouring tarts since 9:00 this morning. I gave my scent list to one of my Dad's friends and he ordered 1 of everything on my list . I've poured 344 so far (24 per scent + 8 extra honeysuckle) and still have a few to do. That's one way to make me get in gear haha. Hope everyone has a great Easter!!!!
  22. I was just wondering if anyone had experience with this seller. I ordered a TOG mold Feb. 13th and still haven't heard anything about my order. I tried to e-mail him through Etsy on March 5:(th to see when it would ship but he has never responded. I paid through paypal and I don't want to go past my dispute time limit but I don't want to be pushy either.
  23. Definately don't cancel your upcoming shows. I've seen your work in the gallery and all of your candles are beautiful! Just chalk it up to experience and start getting ready for your future shows.
  24. They really are beautiful candles!!! On the "blistering", Could it be fingernailing you're getting? I know alot of people were having trouble with it at one time. I had it too but only with one kind of wax. I placed a link below of one incident on the board. Since the candle is red, you can see it really well. http://www.craftserver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4295&highlight=fingernail
