I have been working with these (forever waterslide decals candles) for about 6 months now if not more & well i have been having trouble with the waterslide decals peeling after about 2 months or so......do you have this problem & if so how do you resolve this? I need help... I spray with finsihing spray, maybe just not enough???? yours are beautiful though....good work

I want one to drink now...lol Great job....

Finally an "ARMY" post...Yes, much better if it was Army, but I'm not putting the air force down...my sister is in the air force. what about a W-2 rank...make any of those...Army Warrant Officer where do you get your molds???

i love mixing the 2 waxes..i think its so gorgous...have you done a test burn on these..what kind of burns did you get?

thats a pretty good burn after the first burn if i say so myself...ask ShariG, shes good with Palm & i think she said the LX's arent good...she doesnt like them. For Glass Glow...I believe....I could be wrong..Pm her, she'll help ya...wont you Shari?? lol

AWWWWWW.....A turkey fryer.....ShariG is trying to get me to get one....maybe one day....

lol..believe it or not, it was apple juice..lol

Yes it is a kiosk in the PX...we are lucky to have such a great PX most are not like that. as for deals...you have to look for them, They carry nothing but name brand items so sometimes it does get expensive. As for the relationship Shari & I have, it is a very good one. We met about 1 year ago actually here on CT. I moved here to Ky & she just lives about 45 minutes away. Her husband is also in the military so we have allot in common. We both love the passion for making candles & both had never thought about even doing shows until we met each other. We love doing them together. We get along great, don't fight over money or who sold the most products..its just great to have such a great friend that shares the same passion as I do. lol Thanks for the comments about our set up...we are still learning how to do things as far as shows are concerned...but its fun learning. It was Sharis idea about the hearts on the stands..they were actually for the name tags, but decided to place her hearts on them. Turned out to be a pretty good idea. Wish I could figure out how to dispay my pillars better. Any ideas????

Yep, we did our own light box and just played around with settings and stuff like that. It took a while, but I think they came out pretty good. Kay & Shari

Here are some pics that Kay and I did with our new light box. Tell us what you think. Now be honest, but be nice too! Shari & Kay

Thanks...i'm sure ShariG will love to hear this too...we were nervous, but after the show (2 day show) we ended up being pretty happy.

ShariG & I did another show at the PX here on post at Ft Campbell, KY. We planned it for Valentines Day well acouple days before & did fairly well. Here are some pictures of our show. Enjoy! Kay Ooops attached 2 of the same pictures..sorry

I did a show back in Oct. & sold about $90 worth of palm pillar (forevers) & my friend sold over $200 worth of masons..I guess its just the containers ppl like. The following weekend I did another show sold 3 pillars...Again ppl were saying how gorgeous, but no one bought...Don't understand... Good luck Tuesday!!!! P.s. I'd buy from you...if i already didn't make them...lol Yours are beautiful! What wick do you use? Just curious...i'm using 2/0 from Cierra Candles & Supplies for my 3 inch diameter & loving the little thin shell its leaving for the glow effect.

Have you ever had a forever melt around the tea light? I had one melt the other day. but i have test burned a whole batch & nothing, ut this one melted like crazy right around the glass tea light (to where i could pull out the glass)....

My white & brown ones sold the most. I only sold 1 red one. No other colors sold. EVERYONE was picking up the Square white pillars...Looks like i'll be making some more. CS is out of starburst & i had to buy from candlewic, but i'm having trouble getting the candles out of the mold...man its frustrating. I only have 3 more days left...

Its funny you said that..about half way through I unwrapped 1 of each color & man they started selling. We also took some lids off the jars too...That helped as well.

We were freezing..Friday it rained & was about 45..Saturday was alot better. I think it got to 60 & partly sunny. This weekend our show is inside, but of course its suppose to be 70 & sunny..

Yes, the pumpkins are cute....they are Shair's. Thanks for the kind words. We want honest opinions, but be nice..lol :smiley2: It is fun with 2 ppl..you can chit chat while its slow...

Ok, ShariG & I did our first craft fair last weekend. We did failrly good for our first. The first day was rainy & cold & yes we were outside. So needless to say, we didn't make much Friday, but Saturday was allot better, We learned allot too (wouldn't you say ShariG?) We have another one coming up this weekend & with what we learned from last weekend, I'm hoping we make even more. Even though we barely broke even, i have to say we both had allot of fun.

i normally don't scent those since i make the scented tea lights too. If you scent the pillar, the different tea light scents clash....but I do scent them if wanted. I have one brown one in my bathroom & its scented caramelized pralines...MMmmmm, man it smells good. Makes me hungry every time i go in there, lol I sell those 3 inch diameters for $13.95 with a 6 pack of tea lights in your choice of scent. The 4 inch ones are $14.95. I just started selling those...making sure the pillars dont melt.

I'm having a little melting, but not much...i just burned like 3 tea lights the other day & after looking there IS some melting around the edge, but not enough to worry about.

I get all my stuff from CandleScience, but right now they are out til Nov. 20th so having to get my order from Candlewic. (another great place)

I have some of that Goats in the garden, I love it! She's so good at what she does. Makes me proud to be her daughter n law!!!

As a daughter n law, i have to put in my 2 cents... I LOVE"EM & I'M JEALOUS!!!!!! Her stuff is not suppose to better then mine...lol Your doing great Cheryl...& I am so very jealous. I love the soap by the way...

Those are too cool...how much are they???
