Okay this just shows how computer illiterate I am, but I signed up for a wahmshoppe right now and now I can not figure out where to login to my account. Can someone please help me?

Oh my, there is a lot of information. Thanks so much. I am going to do some research now and when I decide on a site I will probably have more questions. Thanks again everyone.

As of now I have a free website just to have all my items on the web. I am going to switch to an actual site soon and am debating between 3 web hosts. Can anyone give me opinions on any of these three? Or refer another?

Option 1: www.createashoppeplus.com

Option 2: www.diyestores.com

Option 3: www.prostores.com

This might tell you a bit more about the company, I was able to get into the backoffice order area (with no password of course). The whipped body frosting they have is the exact same picture from essentials by catalina. Look: http://essentialsbycatalina.com/shop/wholesalebases.html and this is the one from sweetcupcakes.

About us page shows : "Sweet Cupcake is based in Alabama and now offers hand-poured soy candles, bath & body products, as well as over 3,000 additional products including Home Decor and Collectibles. We proudly serve over 1,000 Consultants worldwide."

And the home page shows: "Update: We now have over 3,500 Consultants Nationwide!"

Here is an actual consultants page she was advertising on craigslists: http://www.sweetcupcakecandles.com/Juliekeegan/

I feel sorry for the people that get caught in these sort of deals. If they would have read over the pages they would have seen that nothing adds up just right.

Thank you for all of your help Marika.

PM is Personal Message...That's OK...I misunderstood. I thought you just wanted to change the color

Thank you for trying to help. Do you know how to get a specific font if you don't have it in your computer. I found a font called Clarissa and it's perfect, now to create the perfect add ons.

Is this what you want?

That's just my label, I am trying to redo a logo sort of based off of the flower and name shown. But, the way the logo shows up on my labels I am rethinking that flower. I am considering purchasing a logo (having it made for me, different design , etc.). By the way I don't know how or what PM is?

This is so diffcult in Word to add color to my flower, what other programs does anyone use to do this. I don't have any fancy print shop or anything, just the basics. Maybe I should just change my flower all together.

IMO, I would let them know that you do have a minimum and they need to meet that minimum to place the order. In a nice manner of course. I went to your wholesale page and it states it right there. If I go to order wholesale from somewhere I always abide by the minimums, I would never order below.

Thank you both, I will see if I can add a lavender color to it. Do you think the lavender should be in the letters or the flower?

I was able to use and print labels from paypal last night just fine. I wasn't even aware of any problems with it.

I had posted on this subject before, but I am stuck again and well I thought I had come up with my own label/logo design, but when I printed a label out and went to put it on my lipbalm it isn't very eyecatching. I liked the basic feel of it, but none of my family members liked it. I was looking for it to have a natural feel, some type of flower (lily, plumeria, or even a bamboo, chinese leave type look) and maybe a partial cursive type letterring, which for some reason it changed when I switched it to a different program.

I sell cosmetics and am going to add bath and body products to my line. My family thinks it needs some type of color added also, but I am using word to do this so I'm not sure how to add color to my picture. (I'm picky on colors and like to stay with a natural look, browns, tans, greens, maybe light pastels, not sure.)

Can anyone give me advice on adding color or other elements to my look?

I can't load my logo/label for some reason so here is the temporary link to my label:

It is possible because I know the lip balm base at BCN can be used as a lip balm or a lotion bar. I would think massasge bars also, but I'm not for sure.

I checked out the site and everything worked great for me, I can't wait to see all of your candles and such once your site is up.

Maybe this sounds dumb, but could you just spell the coompany part different? Like Jay Ashby and Ko.

Or what about J.K. Ashby Candle Company?

I made some lotion and lip balm in honey bee flavor and now my whole kitchen smells like honey. :undecided Not sure if I like honey that much, and I love honey!

Well I just received my order today from BCN and am so excited. First of all, I ordered the lotion base sample and the Honey Coco Mango fragrance oil and made mini 1 oz. lotions, There lotion feels really good. Then I got the lip balm base, but forgot to order the pipettes to fill them so that is disappointing.

But, with my order BCN gave me some candle fragrance oil samples of Honeysuckle, Caramel Apple, and Carnation. Well I don't make candles yet, but I guess I will have to learn how now that I have fragrances for them. Just thought I'd share my happiness, this is my first lotion and lip balm experience so I am so excited and can't wait to make my lip balms.

I placed an order from BCN lip balm base and now have it coming in today. So a quick question, when you melt the lip balm (this base or any other recipe) do you let it harden up to see how it will come out and then remelt it to put it in the tubes. I was reading on the board that some people have grainy lip balm problems, so I don't want to fill the tubes and it come out grainy, that would be too hard to get back out to remelt. Any suggestions?

On one hand this is a great thread, it is wonderful to see how much work you have all put into your candles and such.

But, on the other hand I may now go broke as soon as pay day comes around because I can't wait to shop all of your sites. They all look so great.

Nevermind, Of course as soon as I make a post I found it.

I was searching through the boards last night and found a supplier in Arizona that I was interested in. Well I forgot to write down the name and now I cannot find it anywhere. Would anyone have any suggestions? Thank yuo.

I have a dilema and cannot make up my mind and was wondering if anyone could help. I have been working on selling mineral cosmetics and already have the products ready. My problem is that I don't use Bismuth Oxychloride in my products and am wondering if this is making a difference in them.

I should love my products, but I am so stuck on Bare Minerals that I'm not sure if the reason is because they use the Bismuth in theres to have that luster finish whereas mine are more matte. Does anyone have opinions on Bismuth? Or would anyone know if I was to add this to my products how much would I add or would it corrupt my products in any way? Thanks.

Now that I'm looking at my other suggestion, how about Jay Ashby & Co? Does that sound any better?

Thats cute sockmonkey, I really like that name. It sounds professional. I did the same thing with my kids names. For dominic and alyssa, I came up with Domaly.

What is the meaning behind the name?

At first thought it is kind of weird, but that all depends on the pronunciation and the meaning.
