This whole company has been a mess. There are only a handful of people who are happy with the company, they just happen to be the loudest. The back office forum is a joke. Just a bunch of bored, lonely women with nothing better to do but sit and suck up to the boss. Nothing has gone as promised with this company. The same excuse is ALWAYS given. "Give it time, they got way more people than they thought, and she is pregnant." If you can't handle starting a business pregnant, then don't! If you got more people than you thought, freeze enrollment.
The boss seems to spend more time on the forum getting her ego stroked than working. If you even think about saying, "Hey, what is going on here, when can we get some answers?", you get the same five brown-nosers personally attacking you. Shipping has taken a month, if they got your order at all. Some people's credit cards were charged twice.
No promises have been kept. If she can't handle it pregnant, how will she handle it with a newborn? The support desk is supposedly up and running, but literally only a handful of people have heard anything back from them. There are TONS of grammatical errors, listing errors, and completely wrong items on the page.
The list goes on and on and on. I was a consultant there. I am no longer. Exponetially more people are dissatisfied than satisfied. Unfortunately they others have WAY more time on their hands. In the sub groups, people are dropping like flies because of all the broken promises of the company. The owner even, in mass emails sent to all the consultants, uses phrases such as, "we was trying." Not making the Alabama educational system look good, or the company.
The whole thing is more of a knitting circle, that a company.

I was trying to figure out the costs for making tarts, so where I left off @ is how much wax approximately is it, to make 1 tart? I was thinking maybe 1 ounce of wax.
Thanks for any input you can offer!

Hi, I have some embed molds (plastic) and I was wondering if i can use these for tarts. I pour at a slushy stage...so I was just curious if they will work to make tarts?
Thanks, Leisa

Hi, I found some plastic embed molds...(really cute), and I was wondering if I can use these to make tarts, once i let the wax cool to pouring stage? Not sure what my pouring temp is, as I just pour at the start of slushy stage.
If anyone has tried this, any responce would be appriciated!!!
Thanks, Leisa

Ahhh!!! Nice to see another Taylor Hicks Fan.... Gonna go see him next summer at the Country Concert here in Ohio. Its a full weekend.
Do you do well with selling online? How do you advertise your site?
Thanks, Leisa

Hi, I was wondering what some of you do, when selling your candles. Do you sell out of your home, a store front, or online?
Thanks, Leisa

Acaidian Girl, I am sure that does work well, but for many of us who have children, its not worth the risk for a little tart. I will play it safe in my home, and keep mine in my tart warmer that has very tall sides on it. Like someone else had mentioned, children....In my case even my dear husband would prolly make a mess unplugging it to plug in something else. LOL!!!

Can you use a electric potpourri burners for tarts???
Thanks, Leisa

Well, I had a fire inspector come into my home, cause it is a requirement here in my town, for a vendors licence to be able to sell candles out of my home. Guess What!!!! The inspector said NO WAY!!!!! Bad, Bad, Idea!!! He said they are very dangerous. The wax can get melted down into the socket, and cause a fire into the wall. He said that many people dont here of this, cause they fail to check with their local fire depts on the potential dangers of these.
Didn't want to take any chance here. Just thought i would share!!!!

Hi, I was wondering where some of you have purchased your electric tart warmers? And can you only get them online, or can you purchase them in stores?
Thanks, Leisa
-
I really LOVE their fragrances..and their B-grade is just as good as many suppliers I have tried. And ..WOW the prices are unbeatable!!!

I have tried www.thecandlemakerstores B-grade gingerbread Man for $12 a lb, and compared it to Snowtops....and it was just as awesome as snowtops...and the price..WOW!!!
Leisa

Hi, I stopped using Snowtop fragrances, due to I live like 10 minutes from their and they stopped all pick-up orders, and the shipping costs for just 15 mins. away was rediculous. Especially for the wax. Is her oils the BEST any of you have tried? Just wondering if it may be worth driving alittle further to other suppliers here in Ohio.

I got my 3rd order now, from Natures Garden. I must say, I have tried just about all of the suppliers listed with candletech, and many are good. I have never been in question of ANY of N.G's F.O.'s that I have received yet.
What are some of your fragrances you have gotten from them??
I plan to continue to order from them and wanted to see what ones a few of you here would suggest.
