No worries - I don't think you were supposed to, I was just asking if you did. I have cinnamon fo. I will try that - it should go well with jack-o-lanterns. Hopefully I'll have something pictureworthy.

Thanks so much for the offer. I already ordered some and have to pick em up tomorrow (with a ton of other stuff - shivering at the thought of that bill).

I figured I could get some cookie cutters cheap at the store or get some at a garage sale. I found some at one a couple of weeks ago, but then I was looking for mini's for wax cutouts for "fixins". Did you spray the cutters with a release agent before you baked?

I did some surfing tonite and found this site www.rosesmolds.comHas anyone gotten anything from her? Her stuff looks great!!

edit http://www.rosescandles.com sorry don't know where other site came from - must have been bedtime:o hopefully this one works if not then you can do a search for the website - I have it listed in my favorites

OMG - I knew someone would have it!! I am going to print them out now so I have them.

ThankyouThankyouThankyou:D

edit - the business stuff is happening - I am just stuck on a name. Is that supposed to be the easy part or the hard part????

I think I read somewhere that the aroma beads last 4-6 weeks. I think crystals only last 3? weeks (crs big time) You should try it in your car. With the heat, it should smell yummy...

They made it sound so easy on the site I saw them on (bittercreek). Maybe if they aren't as detailed as yours, TexasBrat. Though it looks awesome!! I think I will try them. I was going back and forth with beads and crystals and I think I am going to try the beads. At least it's not a huge investment to try it.

How much scent did you use pp of beads?

In your opinion which sells better - beads or crystals? And - in a jar (as smelly jellies) or in a sachet?

I love them all but especially pic #2. Would you share how you got the pearly gold look to them?

Hi Vicky,

On the old CT you listed a few sites for bakery molds. Any chance you could repost that list?

Also, how easy/messy is it to make your own silicone molds?

Thanks so much...

Thanks guys. On the old CT forum there was a list of questions that it was good to have your testers check for. Does anyone have that list or the site that it came from?

Just wondering...

Do aroma beads expand (like the water crystals) or is it "wysiwyg".

Thanks for the help...

I was at the gift store today and was looking at the bags others have used. I noticed some are softer and you can see through them better and some are really crinkly and absorb the color of the dye in the candles. Neither seemed to be shrink wrap. Can someone tell what kind is the "bad" one?

I know this was talked to death before, but as that info is not available at this time, I'm gonna be a newbie (as that is what I am) and ask the question....

I know that you have to test and retest, but once you find a wick, wax and FO that works for you and you and your testers are happy with the results, how many additional times do you have to test it before it's sellable.

Thanks for your patience...

AngelaVA has a spreadsheet that she uses to figure that. She had been emailing it to everyone before, you might want to pm her and see if she'll send it to you.
