Congratulations on your first candle!! You will now be hooked and poor like the rest of us addicts!

Great idea for an outdoor show.

True, I forgot about their e-bay store...:undecided though it looks like the item listed is from that store.

They have tons of candle holders and accessories, you should check out their site if you are interested in the country/primitive style for your candles. I have talked to them and they seem really nice, but have not placed an order yet.

Matthews Wire sells them. www.matthewswire.com You need a Tax ID #.

Oh, and a minimum order of $100.

They are all nice, but I like the kitty embed one also. Good luck with the fundraiser!!

Very pretty. I love the look of the palm wax.

Very pretty. I like the pearlized look too.

For me, most men purchased either Pumpkin Pie Spice, Cinnamon or Cinnaberry.

Becky's oils are really great. Cost and customer service make it a great package.

Top Sellers:

Chestnuts & Brown Sugar

Vanilla Buttercream Crunch

My Mama's Blueberry Cobbler

Pumpkin Pie Spice

Cinnamon Cider

Cranberry Spice

Orange Clove

Like Trish said, cure time depends on what kind of wax you use. Most paraffins, you don't have to cure. With soy (which I don't use so this is heresay) I've read you need to cure about a week give or take a couple of days. I use J50 (paraffin) and don't cure.

With JS FO's I only use 1 oz pp.

Vanilla buttercream crunch was one of my best sellers this fall/christmas. I love it for myself. YUM!

I made JustScent Cinnamon Cider for the fall and holidays and sold a ton. Smells just like warm apple cider.

I love the Pink Sugar, it's my new favorite. Does it smell similar to Pink Lemonade? (are we talking JS or in general) I get my Pink Sugar from Solas Candles and I love it. I made some Calming Waters in wickless and liked it too. They are totally different scents though.

I know what you mean about the budget. I have to replace some FO's I'm running short on and am afraid to even go to their sites in fear of how much it's going to cost. So many scents...so little cash:cry2:

Solas Candles - Chris is a perfectionist and everything I have tried is dead on.

Just Scent - Great strong scents and can't beat the price or CS.

I have a couple of samples from Bitter Creek North, but I have better ones from Solas so I haven't bothered to try them.

I love everything about the color, mottle and scent. The navy has such a pretty contrast with the mottle. I wouldn't change it. Just my 2 cents.

Those look so good. I love the swirls in the sandalwood. I bet the WT&G smells awesome!

That looks so yummy!!!! I've added it to my list of things to try. I need to quit my full time job so I can do all this stuff.

Cool, you finally took the plunge. Can't wait to see it cut. Great job!

Wow, very nice. Can't wait to see the Black Canyon and Lovespell soaps.

Mine is a digital kitchen scale that I got at target for $20. It will read in ounces or grams.

I got something like this from my mother. It was a 6x6 scented candle with potpourri (like a chunk candle only with potpourri) in the base and a hole drilled in the top for a glass votive holder. It's the same idea with a twist. It wasn't made by these people though, she got it at a flea market in myrtle beach.

That is a gorgeous candle. I love the mix of colors and the rustic together. I love the scent too - my favorite spring flower. I used to get the big 8 lb 3 wicks from PartyLite all the time, but this puts them to shame! Test it quick - I would hate to have to wait until the end of the summer! Hey let me know if you need help testing...

Beautiful, Donita. That is truely wax art.
