  1. Don't be too hard on yourself....we only know by trial & error.....
  2. Craftyone yes that is where i found those #'s was on the plug-in part itself... I did put one of the Levine bulbs in; it was very bright - I had it on for 2 hrs & melted 1/2 of one of my heart tarts & never smelled up the room at all....... I would recommend these probably to be used with oils; im not sure but, I think I just wasted my money on them.....but, wanted to test them out before selling them to my customers.... They are VERY pretty - but, pretty dont work in our kinda business!! ** I also ordered the Solar Candles.....ha ha dont get them either......they take a battery & it worked ONE day**
  3. I had seen this in a magazine - its a digital scale with measuring cup; kinda a unique idea; im assuming its plastic & not glass though http://www.taylorusa.com/digital-kitchen-scale-5.html
  4. I don't see anything like that on the warmers.......on the plug part it does say these #'s but not sure what they mean 0.06A 60HZ Hope that helps! **I JUST TOOK OUT THE LIGHT BULB IT CAME WITH & AM NOW TESTING WITH ONE OF THE BULBS FROM LEVINE'S** it is MUCH brighter - I will keep you posted
  5. UPDATE on these: http://www.abcdistributing.com/home/catalog/cat_item_pg.asp?G=808&P=211&Rec=2&Ntt=tart+warmers&N=35&Nao=0&R=482253-2TLQLTT2 I purchased one of each & I just got them in yesterdays' mail.....they are 2-prong.....VERY nice but, they don't melt my tarts & mine are 100% SOY wax.....the softest wax around(i think) I had them on for 4 hrs each & neither one of them melted a heart shaped tart SO, I'm assuming they would be used for oils 'only' Just wanted to post this info in case some people are re-selling them for this purpose.....Anyone else have these troubles with them?? Please let us know. Thank You,
  6. Those look VERY nice!! I made them in the BC oval containers....I like the looks of yours.....how did you get the fish to lay so 'nicely' in there? Any tips/hints on how you poured them? Thanks,
  7. what about dipping flower petals in melt & pour soap....when you wash your hands you just grab a soap petal & scrub away....its SO neat!!
  8. WOW, that is a deep red....THANK YOU for all that info....how much of the chip do you use per lb?
  9. I use EZ Soy wax from BitterCreek & cannot seem to get a deep red with my liquid dyes....any help would be appreciated! Thanks:)
  10. I also do glass etching....its SO easy to do!! I buy wine glasses at goodwill & etch a married couples name on each, make a candle outta it, decorate it with stuff & Viola....I just made a set for a gal & she's giving it to the gal this Sat. at her shower in case she wants to use them for her wedding!
  11. I just have a 'comment' to make on this....I really really like this Elaine "An apology is a good way to have the last word" --Unknown
  12. I "LOVE" Laura's embeds!! There is SOOOOOOOOOO many to choose from & I use them on top of my SOY candles....people just love em' Thanks Laura:yay: you are the BOMB!!

  14. I've ordered from Gelluminations a 'few' times....when items have been out of stock I usually get it within a few days later....gosh, now I'm gonna be leary to order from them again. I did notice another company that was not mentioned was the Candle Source.....WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL service !!!! They are my 'total' favorite besides BitterCreek....!!
  15. I'm also a HUGE fan of Wedding Day & I used to get it from Jade Green Beans but, she is no longer available but, I've recently got mine from Gelluminations & its really good!!
  16. VERY neat!! I just watched it on YouTube. Thanks for Sharing:yay:
  17. I have to SO agree with this!! It does get frustrating not knowing what a scent actually smells like with no description, then buying it & either wished you would've purchased it along time ago or never at all Good Point Here!!
  18. TexasBrat neat on the knitting the hat is that the same as crocheting a hat....I just finished this one the other nite my first hat & i'm on my 2nd one now but, I ran outta yarn.... Here they are together, but like i said the other one isnt done Since we have NO SCHOOL today because we are having a snowstorm, I thought I better get pics up of the stuff I made from my Cricut.... This "HOPE" was cut from pink vinyl These 3 mirrors the stencils were cut from the vinyl FAITH LOVE HOPE there is a glare when taking these pics but you get the idea This is 2 separate glasswares....one says my daughters name on it CASEY & the other one has a C on it This is a heart dish my daughter uses for her bunny rabbit for her food & it says SNICKERS on it This is the letter M for this glassware for a friend, making a candle outta it too When I do more, I will let you know but this is some ideas for ya all....I really really like the glass etching...especially on the mirrors.... Let me know what you think:)
  19. Its that time of the yr again....I am wondering what kind of forms do you all take to your tax man/gal ?? I swear I take stacks & stacks of stuff with me & I seem to make it more of a 'job' then it should.....I was told I keep too good of records, when I only need a form for each category such as....sold, purchases, end of yr supplies, etc etc. Can anyone help me out here?? I run my candle biz from my home, work outside of the home & hubby does too..... Help me out if you can.....Would SO appreciate it!! Thanks:)
  20. hurleygirl sorry bout that LOL Just got back from Michaels,,,,,NO questions asked on returning that Design Studio....they just gave me my money back WOOT WOOT :yay::yay::yay::yay: So, I got some more glass etching cream , vinyl & OH if you cannot get the paper off the mat on the Cricut,,,,,invest the $5 at Wal Mart & get one of those spatula's....I refused to get one but, my hubby got me one for Xmas so I HAD to try it.....WOW,,,,,,,how could I think they wouldnt work, it works soooooooooooooooo good!! I also seen on You Tube you do 'not' need to invest in another mat if its loss its stickyness.....just buy a 2 way glue pen from Zig(the big chisel tip)cover the area with this & wait 20 min......VIOLA......you can get the pen at Michaels too:p NO PRESSURE,,,,,,,but I really really really wish I wouldve invested in this Cricut a long long time ago.....I got mine at WalMart like $100 cheaper then Michaels.... Will post pics soon of all the stuff Ive done here lately,,,,,

  22. Okay gals an update as I 'played' with my Cricut last nite!! I couldnt get the Design Studio to work for me at all on my puter...it kept saying it couldnt find it BLAH BLAH BLAH....so now I wonder if Michaels will take it back?? I DID however cut on material.....OMG if you are a sewer you will LOVE LOVE LOVE this!!!!!!!!!! It cut my material out like butter.....first I ironed on the Heat & Bond,,,placed it on my Cricut using Blue Painters Tape to hold it in place better & VIOLA......I just made iron on's (patches or whatever) Then, I cut vinyl out & did some Glass Etching with different things! Now that, was totally awesome too!!!!!!!! I used the pattern to use for Etching & the letters to put on my wall.....no waste here:p I have 5 cartridges so I am TOTALLy happy with having those so, I spent $99 on this dumb Design Studio & it dont work for me:mad:
