I like the way you packaged them, but agree with a lot of others in that the label is not good. Looks unprofessional, like something you would use to label stock on a shelf, not for retail sales.

Also, do you package larger amounts together? You may want to do that, as I don't have ANYONE that buys just one tart EVER, even if they've never used a certain scent before. If they like the scent after sniffing, they usually buy at least 6 if not a dozen.

If someone DID want to buy quite a few at a time, just think of all that work to put them together individually, and the cost too. It can't be cheap for large amounts.

Beautiful, the colors and swirls remind me of bird of paradise.

Gorgeous-you're very talented! I can't imagine those not selling, what an awesome gift!

I use 4630-it reminds me a lot of 4627, except that its less messy (it's cutable vs. Scoopable).It has great scent throw and I think its easy to wick.Your main deciding factor in choosing a wax should be what wax the supplier closest to you supplies, since shipping on wax is quite pricey.

I make my own covers (with tabs for easy removal)out of heavy cardstock.The only thing I can't do is punch a hole for the wick b/c I can't find a hole punch that will reach to the center of the cover.

What a great idea-Team Spirit soaps!

Those look good!

I can BARELY see any yellow in the pic, but maybe it's from the ink?

What kind of paper did you use for the insert?

Has she replied to ANY of the emails you've sent her?

Why would you go ahead and fill the order now, when you've refunded her money to her? Who knows if she'll RE-order??

You were quite antsy to get an answer and then refund her money dont you think? If you would have just waited to hear from her or even waited to see what responses you got here, you would not be in this mess. JMO

I just save all my wick trimmings and use those for the firestarters.

I also save all my leftover wax and use that, that way there is no waste ever.

Of course, it makes it hard to scent them b/c essentially they are already scented with a million other scents! LOL

Yours are really pretty.

I'm confused! It's inside another building? What kind of building? Will you be able to have a sign outside? Will you be able to make product in the shop?

More details please.

Good luck to you!

Just thinking about all the work and responsibilities you will have makes me exhausted! LOL

I like them all, but you definitely need to make those Steeler footballs darker yellow, and I think painting the lines black would really make them "Steelers".

BTW- The Steelers is one of my fav. teams (don't ask why since I'm a Cali girl ) and that was one good game last night!

I was wondering about the beans, too. I thought they garbanzo beans. I think the label would be much better without the beans altogether. To me, they are a distraction. A plain black and white label without the beans would be very nice and classy.

I too thought they were garbanzo beans! LOL Thought maybe they had something to do with the scent name.

As for using the border on a round label, I'm pretty sure in AveryPro you can make any border fit any shape label, by playing around with it. There's options to make it round etc. You should try it.

I like the driftwood both ways-like the black lines b/c it gives it a more unique look-hmm wondering what this scent smells like?

Now that green WOW, that's bright-love it!

Positive feedback from customers is sooooo AWESOME!

Definitely ask her if you can use her statement as a testimonial on your website, no need to ask her for a complete review, you've got a GREAT statement from her already.

You may want to ask that man for a statement also. The more positive feedback you can add to your site the better!!

Unbelieveable! For all you know this woman never had a child take a bite in the first place. These are people that are out to prey on up standing citizens trying to make a honest living and bilk you for everything you have.

All they are out for is more free stuff or money. Gee and it sounds like the P.S. comment was to get more free stuff. I bet she is in the shower right now lathering up with that free sample bar with a big smile on her face saying oh this smells so good!

My thoughts EXACTLY! :rolleyes2

I love this part- "but please stop and think what happened to me" ??

Nothing happened to HER! Even if her child took a bite out of the soap, the most she would have had to deal with is hearing him/her gross out (cry maybe if it was a little guy) and wash his/her mouth out and/or have them brush their teeth-whoopee doo! :rolleyes2

And if you didn't think she was phishing for more freebies or a refund before, her little P.S. was a HUGE red flag!

I'm glad you sent the letter, now you can just sit back and laugh about what a whack-o she is.

Oooh that is soooo cool! Love the sparkly running through it!

Doesn't surprise me one bit! I've always thought GC way sneaky and underhanded, now this.

I don't think the statement means that they hired past felons, but b/c thes people were using others identities to get hired there, that consitutes a felony.

Not excusing GC in any way, but if you have a "legit" identity, that hasn't been flagged as stolen, it would be pretty hard for GC to just "know" that it wasn't their identity.

As far as hiring illegals-don't get me started. I can't even get a friggin' job in my town b/c I don't speak ESPANOL! :rolleyes2

The wax makes the fur "stiff".I don't even think spray gel (or anything similar such as hairspray) would stick to the wax. I think they would just cause a mess!It's in my directions for the care of the bear, to use a fork to refluff the fur, so I would think if it did happen to get a little flat in the bag, the buyer would just fluff it up.

Well JS/Becky kicked me off her mailing list and forum just because I have a YAHOO addy! I complained about it, and she said all I'd need to do is change my addy-uhh NOT!

Oh well, really only two of her oils threw well for me, and I've replaced them.

Thank you all very much! I'm going to have to make more this weekend I think. I only have one left! lol

Did you sell all of those you had? They are sooooo adorable I wouldn't doubt it at all!

So, the little ones are charms for necklaces, etc.? What about the bigger ones? Same thing?

I think I want one, do you have a website?

OMG all of your stuff is absolutely adorable!!!!!!!!!! Handstitched strawberries and blossoms? OMG girl you've got some major talent and patience!

Can't wait for payday, early Christmas shopping, plus a gift or two for MOI!!

Wish you hadn't deleted your pics off photobucket. :undecided

WOW very artistic and really one of kind candles!

I just have to say that I love your backgrounds for the pics. and I especially LOVE that big rock that one of the candles is sitting in-I WANT THAT ROCK!

Wow I'd be hard pressed to pick a fav. out of all those gorgeous soapies! Such awesome colors! Love 'em!!

Really purdy-I like the greens with the lavender color.

Very nice! I especially like the patch & orange!

Pretty Pretty!

I also was thinking "Lavender Licorice" for the name.
