  1. Do you have an AC Moore near you? They have 16oz & 26oz and these little itty bitty apothecary jars. The range up to $3.29 I think for the 26 oz. Also, try Michaels.
  2. Couldn't have said it better myself. Welcom Lorim!! Enjoy!!
  3. Izzy, it smells JUST like the real thing IMO. I made a batch last year and had them all put away and my neighbor came over and wanted some of the "eggnog that I'd made". I had a time telling her it was candles. She finally believed me once I pulled the candles out and let her smell them. Glad it's coming back!!
  4. I don't heat mine and use the same wax. Try pouring a little slower and/or cooler. HTH
  5. Along the top - Wild Cherry, Jamaica Me Crazy, Raspberry Middle - Grape, Pear Bottom - Honeydew, Orange, Chocolate
  6. I know tons of people who will buy the "inexpensive" candles. You know, the ones w/ little or no hot or cold throw, that aren't colored all the way through, etc, etc. When I see those in someones house, I'll QUICKLY find a reason to give them one of mine as a "GIFT"!!! So they can see what QUALITY is!!
  7. Oh my goodnes...The people and the "kits"!!! LOL I know someone who made candles from a kit and thought they were the best thing since sliced bread. Until she burned one of mine. (Not trying to toot my own horn!!) She now buys from me instead of making her own.
  8. Same here...I'd thought about it and when I started reading up on it, I changed my mind QUICKLY. I'll stick with my wax!!
  9. Meridith, she had NO IDEA about laws and regs. I told her she'd better research, and research and when she thinks she has it, research some more!!
  10. How many of you find that when you start talking to people about your candles and/or bath and body products they think it's SO easy and think they can just jump in without doing research or TESTING?!?!?!? (Is that a run-on sentence?!) I have a good friend that makes greeting cards. She called me today saying she was going to start making massage oil and lotion. BUT, she thinks that she can just buy the ingredients, make it and distribute it ASAP. I asked her about testing and she said, "testing what??". I think she might need to stick with greeting cards!!! LOL
  11. Your local Michaels or AC Moore should have rolls or cellophane in different colors, including clear. They have tons of ribbons to choose from too. HTH
  12. Hopefully, no one will pour a batch of it and go out and get pulled over by the police. You know how the FO lingers on you. That would be a little hard to explain to the cops..."Oh officer, I was making a batch of candles!!" LOL
  13. I'm missing it to. I have about a half ounce left that I refuse to use. I even took the sample out of my case so no one will ask for it! LOL
  14. Finally I have some pics to show!!! Pic 1 - Jamaica Me Crazy and Pear Pic 2 - Orange and Raspberry Pic 3 - Starwberry Kiwi, Grape, Jamaica Me Crazy, Peach, Grape, Orange, Honeydew, Vanilla Passion
  15. Very good job!!! Easy to navigate, nice pics.
  16. Regarding restrictions...I think the answer to your question may be more area specific...it depends on what state you live in. You may want to contact your local small business office as a start or try their website. For instance, in the state of Maryland I can operate my business from my house, BUT, I'm not allowed to keep finished product in my home. HTH
  17. Ashlie...I took advantage of that sale too! It was much needed.
  18. I forgot to mention Purely Peppermint!!
