I've had situations where kids have picked up my glass items and I always watch them really closely. I've made comments like, "Sweetie, please be careful with that." A few times I've grabbed it and handled it myself and let them smell. I've also had times where I've had something burning and a child was reaching for something behind it (instead of asking) and his hand got too close to the flame. Maybe instead of "You break it, you buy it", the wording can be a little less harsh.

I use wick pins for my votives and the wick tab holds it in place snugly.

I have my first Spring show tomorrow. Gotta finish getting everything packed up tonight. I'm taking everything that I have that's made & packaged. It's also a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. I'll post results on Sunday!

Well why not put the title of the show and then list what the fund-raiser is?

Like:

Welcome

Spring Vendor Fair/Fundraiser

supporting the American Cancer Society

I have that. I thought about drawing some flowers or something on it too.

The sign is to welcome anyone who comes throught the front door. The title of it is Spring Vendor Fair/Fundraiser. It's all kinds of vendors...arts & crafts, retail, service folks. The vendors are donating a portion of their sales, there's a raffle (vendors are donating items for that) and 100% of the money from the raffle is going to the ACS. The general public will also be able to make donations by writing a check to the ACS, there'll be a rep there to handle this.

It's a general entry sign. I plan to have it as soon as they walk in the front door of the place. It'll be on a table and ballons will be attached. It's one of those 3 section display boards all the kids use for their science fair projects...

I have a show coming up on Saturday that I'm hosting...It's also a fundraiser supporting the American Cancer Society. I need to make a sign and don't know what else to put on it besides "Welcome". Any suggestions?!

The flower pot lids from BCN, do they fit on them snug, or do they just sit on top of them? I am looking at ordering them. The ones from candles and supplies just sit on top of them:( .

I use them and they do fit the flower pots snugly.

:laugh2: :laugh2:

I'm surprised more people didn't catch this one.....:undecided

I think we did, but just chose to not say anything!!

I get 99% of my FO's from Peak and one from Nature's Garden.

The double basket ROCKS!!! I love the colors!

I'm overwhelmed you guys, definitely feelin' the love from my CT FRIENDS!!

Like I've told you, there just really are no words appropriate or that I can find to really show/tell you how much I appreciate the contributions that you have made!!!!!

BOY, dontcha know McKenna is gonna be sooooooooooo excited when she gets home??!!! :D Hurry up 3:30 so I can tell her!!!

You are the BEST!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!!!!!!

What comes around goes around and you can bet that when/if someone else from here comes in need I'm gonna be the first one in line!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are more than welcome! It's nice to know that some people you've never met will help you out!

By the way, WHEN McKenna goes on the trip ask her to take some pics for us!

Call me crazy...but I make mine orange...I had too much blues and aquas in my line

I'm having that same problem w/ reds...I make my Jamaica Me Crazy yellow and/or orange.

As much as you can make and take!! LOL

I would say at least 10.

Thanks everybody!!!

I agree $40 isn't very expensive. I've recently hosted some shows and that's about how much I charge per table/space. Depending on where the show is being held the price could be per table and a table is provided or it could be per space and you bring your own. So definitely ask which it is.

What everyone else said!!! They have them at the craft stores, another is AC Moore, they usually have them for $4. But I've recently purchased the same basket at Dollar Tree. You can also check the clearance sections of places like Target, Walmart, etc. I got some cute little boxes/baskets to use around Christmas from clearance at Target and they were DIRT cheap!

The ones at Sam's, Walmart & Target are they the ones that fold into a suqare w/ a handle or the ones where just the legs fold up?

Don't mean to hijack your threat, but I was going to ask the same question!!! I'd seen them around Christmas at Linens N Things. They were the 6 ft tables that you can fold in half and have a handle, but I can't find them anymore. I think they called them banquet tables.

If anyone knows of some that would be awesome.

Have you tried Ikea in the clearance section? They have good stuff sometimes.

Thanks!

Do any of you charge for someone to advertise on your site? I had someone ask me and I'd like to start charging, but have no idea how/what to charge. Any suggestions?

I'm using a 75/25 mix of Ky perfect blend & j223.

Unfortunately, I don't used those...I've used it in 6006, 4786 and 4794 and it's worked fine. I hope you get it figured out!!

Had to add, if there is someone that doesn't have a A C Moore I'm willing to pick some up for you and send them. Just a thought!

Same here...Also, I've attached pics of the ones I have so you can see what's available.

I've been trying Peaks, but can't get it to throw for the life of me! Which really disappointed me, since everything else I've tried from them has been wonderful!

TIA

Which wax are you using it in?

Wish I had an AC Moore around here!

PM'd you Butterfly!!
