  1. I dont no you dont live near you that I no of , so I have nothing to do with you other then I asked a question. I thought this was a place where you can come and ask questions not get down or made fun of because you ask a ?.As I said before I have poured some candle and I HAVE BEEN TESTING THEM and have helped other people . All I wanted was a place to order my supplys from , I have tons of product that ive order from other company premade candles to sell and home decor . I am not use to sitting around I have been in the medical field since I was 18 my kids are grown so my husband and myself decide for me to quit and do what I wanted to do for a change. so I wanted to have my own candle suppys in so I can work on them while in my store so I dont get bored and I can be doing something . You should no the fact before you call me a ridiculous person. I have probably saved more lives then you have ever made candles. so you should no people before you go to saying thing about them. So if you have a bad name its of your own doing not mine. BTW I thought sliverofwax was joking so I was joking back.HOPE YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY.
  2. You can read the other post and find out what is going on...
  3. I have ordered supplies I was wanting to order more! the place I ordered them from shipping rate was outrageous so I was trying to find a place closer with cheaper shipping charges. I also had asked about trying differnt waxes since I no there all differnt I was trying to compare them to see which kind is close to what I have already got. My store is more home decor primitive art rustic home decor, but am also going to be /am making candles but my main thing is the home decor. I have made candle have been for a bit and have been testing them and have other people testing them as well for me. Plus im ordering candles already made form other company as well to sale. ! :lipsrseal santa eek
  4. invested way to much money in my building and all my other productes to forget about it. im really looking forward to Gracie comming but I am also ready to do something for me as well, see ive been married to the same man since I was 15 had 1st son @ 16 2nd @ 18 .im now 38 so that tells you a little. lol on the pie candle maybe Ill do some research on how to make them I think they are lovely.. thanks so much for yoour advice, its nice to ahve someplace to come to when you have a no clue. like I siad with all the info out there there is so much and so differnt it good to have people to talk to about it..thanks have a great day!
  5. That is quite alright didnt want to bother you. I went and compared pricing and all and I placed and order with tenn after I placed the order the man still couldnt give me a shipping rate so I told him to find out then call me back. I order the celestial soy have you or anyone tryed it? I also order the tart molds to try and make some of them which I havent done yet either.also where does everyone order there label "names of there store" to put on there candle from? or your bags with your store name on it?ok thanks for being patiance with me...have a great one...
  6. Sliverofwax Dec of this year!!! no im not becomming a suppiler I am opening up a store a home decor store and a candle shop. and yes I am ordering suppy today,, and yes I am hoping to pour candle now like yesterday lol.. and 911 is on my speed dial! lolthe reason I asked the ? was I have heard some say that certain wax wont work with some scent and some wick dont work with some thing so I was wondering if I order scents from another company if it would work with the waxes I already had like say I am using the cb 135 soy and I wanted to order some new fo from another company with better cheaper shipping rate since I paid 50 bucks for shipping if it would interfer with the candle. also like some waxes are for votive while others are for contianer... I no it was probble a dump ? but im new so... i can ask dumb ?... Ive read and read but by the time yoou read everything its all differnt..
  7. And yes there is a lot of info out there its gets so confusing that you dont no what to beleive.. I enjoy making the candle althought im new to it it give me a life to loook forward to , my kids are groan and married now im still fairly young and nothing to much to look forward to and I always wanted to do this and now actually have the time and money to do it. but I dont want to take a chance on causing someone house to burn either.. lolI will do more research and see what I can come up with , Itryed the forever candle but ti didnt turn out right so I guesss maybe ill try again... thanks again for the great advice.oh btw I will be a new grandma in about 3 weeks YEESSS and im still young.. so I do have something to look forward to..
