Beautiful products! You should be proud of yourself - I looked to see if you had a website - I dont see it listed....

They should last twice as long as a burned candle in that same jar.....for example: candle that burns 45 hrs should last 90 hrs for wickless....

Not sure if event lister is the same but i go to www.craftlister.com they send you emails all the time on new listings they get.....Thats how I started out - then like someone else mentioned - talk to the other vendors & they will definitely help you out....where they go next, who to contact to reserve a table, etc. etc. Good Luck:yay: Once you start Craft Shows LQQK OUT - you get TONS & TONS of orders & have so much FUN doing them!!

OH my GoodNess!! Those are just Precious:drool: You really got the hang of it - I see potential in Bears also - I put glasses, flowers, glitter on mine - Yours are SO CuTe!! Thanks for Sharing....:highfive:

WOW, thats just GREAT/AWESOME News!!!! Now rub some of that onto ME (ha ha) I have my 1st one tomorrow nite - one of 9 Shows & tomorrow is just the beginning of them!! I LOVE to see the stuff leave my booth but, at the same time feel sad to see it go cause, then i gotta make more...LOL....does that make sense to you ? I'm sad & happy at the same time.... GOOD Luck on your next one - will be thinking of you as I have one over the weekend also... If you need info on anymore in your area go to www.craftlister.com ~Carlena~ www.carlenascreations.com

Our gas prices are also going down; I filled up my tank yesterday $2.65 & have heard groceries are going down also....AMEN...time will tell if it all does though!! I get all my wax from BitterCreek when they have the yrly Convention - they haul your order there so NO shipping charges...it has 'definitely' helped me out!! Otherwise to have it shipped is a 'killer' ~Carlena~ www.carlenascreations.com

These are really neat has anyone tried them? http://www.candletech.com/techniques-and-ideas/mini-pumpkin-candles/ ~Carlena~ www.carlenascreations.com

I'm with grama when talking about the ziplock bags; there easy to see through & I also live in a small 'village' so, believe me; people arent' that worried how you display your samples....I think the oval containers speak for themselves - the baggy is just to keep them all together - were NOT avon or another product we are just 'ourselves'.... I love the idea of sharing everyone's ideas on this subject - especially at this time of the yr when Fundraisers are the busiest.... I'm hoping to 'approach' our School on this matter someday soon & LOVE gettin' all the information... Best Wishes to Everyone doing Fundraisers!! ~Carlena~ www.carlenascreations.com

I have to agree with Burnt Mill (Misty) Awesome demonstration it was too....I can't remember what he would charge them if they didnt return the 'samples' Thanks for bringing that to our attention:yay: ~Carlena~ www.carlenascreations.com

Mine range in between FREE to $100(for a 2 day) But, am attending 2 church ones(1 day)& they are $25 each....I know what you mean about you dont wanna feel 'cheap' but, if it were me - I would pay either the $25 a day or $50 for all 3 days....its up to you really the way it sounds to me; considering on the last day 'will there be that many shoppers' - are you able to pay at the end of the day? If you did good; pay $25 if you didnt go $15 for that day & if you do better the next pay $25.....I would say it depends on the amount you make too.....I'm sure they are appreciative for whatever amount you give anyways.... Good Luck to you:yay: ~Carlena~ www.carlenascreations.com

I use the small empty plastic coffee containers - I think its folgers; it has a built in handle on the side.....I put the label on top of the lid - works perfect for me!! ~Carlena~ www.carlenascreations.com

VERY neat idea - I'm gonna send you a PM:yay: ~Carlena~ www.carlenascreations.com

Hi Mindy, I got my flickering bulbs from www.colonialtin.com I've never used anything else - they are just beautiful with that flickering - I'm sure you would really like those better.....I honestly dont think its the FO - I think the bulb is just too powerful for that grubby - mine is pretty much the same size....if you want to try just one bulb from me; I do have them for sale on my website...(just a thought) Hope that helps ya out any :highfive:

Your so welcomed.....I was also asked to do the oils from alot of elderly customers - so, that is why I have added them....I too will also keep doing the tarts/melts as different people like different things; so we gotta please everyone:yay: Thanks for the compliment on my Maxi Slippers:p

My bulbs are 3 watt; wonder if its too big of a bulb.....I also use 1 oz FO but I use Feather Palm Wax..... **Forgot too mention** my bulbs are flickering... ~Carlena~ www.carlenascreations.com

What size bulb are you using, wax & how much FO? I've not had that problem with mine ever....hmm wonder what it could be? Sure hope someone else can help you out - cause i'm not sure.... ~Carlena~ www.carlenascreations.com

I was asked last yr. to do Fundraiser on either candles or bears....The bears would take me FOREVER to do & if you know me - I :tiptoe: "HATE":tiptoe: dipping!! Anyways, I was having more troubles trying to figure out a packet of samples, forms, things to get started - I also work in the school system & know if I offered it to them, they would JUMP on it.....if anyone can send me there 'example' forms I would really be interested in doing these also.... Sorry, didnt mean to take away your post - not my intention just asking for advice/help on them since you know what your doing.... Good Luck to you on your Fundraiser:yay: ~Carlena~ luckycarlena@nntc.net www.carlenascreations.com

Designer 218 for me also.....EXCELLENT Service - Mandi is Awesome!! :yay: ~Carlena~ www.carlenascreations.com

Not sure if this helps or not but, I buy ALOT of my FO's from them & they are awesome!! I also make Tarts if your interested:smiley2: ~Carlena~ www.carlenascreations.com

I also use DPG & have never had a problem with it - I get mine from WSP as its the most reasonable....I use glass dropper bottles from Specialty Bottles...my customers really like them as they can control how many drops they want....If you would like to see a picture of them; they are on my website. ~Carlena~ www.carlenascreations.com

Natures Garden has them: http://www.naturesgardencandles.com/candlemaking-soap-supplies/category.cgi I didnt find the Onion Grass but, maybe i'm blind :rolleyes2 ~Carlena~ www.carlenascreations.com

I am also with Mandi Designer 218.....my website - its 'easy' to navigate & was real easy to set up...She's WONDERFUL to work with - best customer service I've ever had & this I believe is my 3rd place; I'm not going anywhere now!! If you have any troubles she's right there to help/guide you through it - I've even talked to her directly on the phone... Go for it! You'll be glad ya did:yay: ~Carlena~ www.carlenascreations.com
