  3. Any one knows a good place with instructions on how to make one? I got the "Deluxe E.Z Bow maker" it help me with the big bows, now I need to make small ones, the corsage size or smaller.:embarasse Thank you for any help, Zonia
  4. Hi: my children are adults now but I was thinking, how about recording mom's heart beat? I know that is not what you were asking for, but it just made me remember how my daughter needed a sound she was familiar with when I was pregnant. Good luck, Zonia
  5. She is adorable! if my knids were little again, I'll take more pictures, for sure. Thank you for sharing, Zonia
  6. Your flowers are very prety! I stop doing them when I discover this place and got hook oncandles,it's a lot easier on my wick hands and eyes Looking at yours make me want to go get my beads, maybe for few flowers. Thank you for sharing. Zonia
  7. Hi: I got the mold and it measures a little more than 2" I'm going to order the #2/0, 1/0 and 1. Thank you for the help and wish me luck Zonia
  8. I'm going to make some baby bottle candles for my daughter's friend baby shower, I have to questions (sorry I try the "search" couln't find anything) First what is the best size wick, I ask the company where I order the mold they only say "we recoment the square wick" I'm thinking about ordering size 2 and size 1, do you recomend any other size to try? Also what is your favorite baby scent, I normaly order from Peacks, they only have "baby powder" I read it's very good, I was thinking maybe lavender to have two scents to test and see how it goes, the candles are going to be pink. This are the first candles I'm going to give to any one, other than my daughter, after reading here all this time (since I started here) I feel presure to be very sure the candles are going to be safe even if they will probably won't burn them. Thank you for any help you can give me. Zonia
  9. Peaks Owns the board??? I love their scents, I get most of mines from them, had no idea they own the board:confused: Zonia
  10. This is how new and small I really am, I place a board on top of my kitchen sinks to extend my "work area", I don't cook much any more, so I get to store my things in my kitchen cabinets, mostly do it during the weekends. I love this hobby I don't think I would ever be able to make my candles for profit, just for enjoyment. Zonia
  11. I second that, it hurts!!!!!!! Can some one make molds that aren't so painful to clean?:undecided I also agree about clugging the drains. Been there done that, hahaha. I have not make good enough candle but been there done that. Zonia
  12. Oh WOW! I feel better to see I'm not the only one who spends so much, I ask my DH how much do I spend? hihihihihih:embarasse he said about $50 or $60 a month, he has no idea, hahahahaha poor baby! The other day we went to get some wax, he got crazy putting things in the basket, when "HE" got the total, I almost fainted, he said he wanted to cheer me up, since I had a dificult week at work. I must remember to get sad more often:o If this is not healthy, please let me be, I'll die happy. Thank you for sharing, you made me feel more confortable (is that the right spelling?) you know, relax about my addiction. Zonia

  21. Is there a place where you can buy this labels? no printer I made 12 for my daughter's new grandparents in law and only wrote "this is not a candle" did not put a wick. I think this is the only thing I can really make for now, I guess I should be more specific. She is going to visit them for Thanks giving day, I have time to fix them. Zonia
  22. I was asked to buy a subscription to a magazine (for school funraising), I search for a thread to see if there is information on a good magazine for a "want to be candlemaker" like me, the only one I found is not in the list. Can you please share what magazine do you mostly read? I don't read magazines unless I'm at the doctors office I'm not trying to get formulas or the information you get from the books, I was just thinking what most of you like or may find and idea on how to present your candles or decorate them. Thank you for any help. Zonia
  23. Can you please share the seller's information, to stay away from them. I'm starting to buy molds little by little (I only make candles for my own use) I don't wan't to end up spending a lot of $$$$$ trying to clean them. thank you, Zonia
