Please do update on the vanilla and Blackberry Marmalade!

This has not happened to me--I order from Candlescience, Peaks, Greenleaf, and Nature's Garden.

Rain Water, Honeysuckle Jasmine, and Violet Lime are all *very* strong in 6006, I use a lower percentage on them. Clean Cotton is a pretty strong thrower, also. I love all these FOs:)

Haven't tried the others, but I do have Asian Amber, and it smells wonderful OOB (haven't tested it yet).

Gorgeous! Beautiful colors, very welcoming, and easy to navigate!

I'm 'finally' going to get around to pouring testers for KY's Midnight Pomegranate, Red Tea, and Southern Vanilla:)

Thank you all for your suggestions!

Definitely more pictures--I had a hard time with that as you can tell lol!

The empty space on the left--that's where I'm thinking of putting the 'free gift' offer for xx amt on an order. Or some kind of special maybe??

Everything written down and noted--thank you!

Valien--the url suggestion is noted!

'Neuse' is a confusing name in itself. When I was talking to the designer on the phone, he pronounced it like 'Nyuse'--it's actually pronounced n-o-o-s-e. It's an Indian word (name?). I believe it originates from the Tuscarorans--I actually tried to research it but couldn't find alot of info on it!

Thank you for the nice comments:)

I'm thinking of maybe offering a free gift for orders of $50 (or $75?) or more, like a few of the soap and/or cream samples, or a free 4 oz tin or something--not sure about that yet.

Also ordered some aluminum tealights, I will send a 'scent sample' along w/ orders (labeling them 'Not for use!!'--or something to that effect lol).

You could try to search a supplier close to where you live and just buy a 10# slab of wax. Do you already have containers picked out to do this? If not, tins would probably be the cheapest as far as shipping goes.

I agree with Ginger--using a container wax would be best, I think, because with most (if not all?) of them you do not have to use additives.

With all that said, don't forget to test first;)

So I bit the bullet and had a website made!

I've got my handy-dandy notebook at hand for suggestions--

Literally awaiting the invoice from the designer, but in a month or so I'll need some changes made (featured product/scent, etc) so any suggestions heeded will be made then:)

Be kind, be gentle, but by all means, be honest (and I know ya will lol)!

Here goes.........................

Thank you!

Just rec'd an order yesterday from them lol! Also all OOB--

Agree w/ Midnight Pom--awesome!

Red Tea--smells 'very' good! Slightly fruity--the best tea scent I've smelled to date

Southern Vanilla--not too buttery OOB, moderate strength, am curious to see how it does in my 6006

Gardenia--pretty floral scent--not overly sweet, which I like

Won't get to test them for a couple of weeks, though:( Very busy the next week then going out of town for a few days:)

Good Laawwd that's alot of candles lol!

Congrats!

Their Yacht Club is a really nice scent--I actually mix it 75/25 with another fragrance, but it's great on it's own. Very strong in 6006.

I also like their Black Raspberry Vanilla the best--to me it has a richness or depth to it that others I've tried don't. Also very strong.

Yesterday a co-worker came up to me and said that she had 2 of her tumblers burning--well, she went to bed early 'thinking' her DH would put them out. Welp! You guessed, he didn't, and they burned all night. She said one had burned out completely, and the other one still had a little wax left and the flame was still going. HER point was that she was ill at her DH for 'wasting' her candles lol. I proceeded to let her know that I was sorry that her candles got used up, but isn't she glad that they were safe? And then I let her know to pleaasse be careful and not let that happen again lol!

Just writing this to let folks know who are just getting into candlemaking that somewhere, sometime down the line this will happen to one of your candles! Make sure and test ALL your candles--every container, every scent, and don't forget to power burn for safety--I'm sure glad I did!

Wow--that does stink.

On a similar note, here in NC (not sure how other states do it), when you go to the Board of Nursing website, all you have to do is search by name, and the name and LICENSE NUMBER (!!!) comes up with it. I couldn't believe it when I first found out--talk about a privacy issue!! They started it when they did away w/ the plastic licenses.

Got the postcard a couple days ago--I've never bought from BCN.

So.......my guess would be the cc companies.

Either way, it doesn't bother me to get mail from suppliers, electronic or otherwise--as long as it pertains to my particular business, and as long as an e'mail has only one 'to' address on it---mine.

Yep, everything's made in China--The US is making their government wealthier every day.

Haven't rec'd any spam, but back to the Deja Vu e'mail: Do they not know how to use the BCC???

Not only is that careless, that's ignorant--especially with them being business owners.

Woo Hoo! Congratulations!!

Candlescience's Mistletoe.

Yep--I'll say it again and again: Soapersworkshop is the best!

Cinnamon sticks are wood, so they'll work! Very good idea, BTW;)

This is definitely a stronger fo--I had to cut back, too. If you want to mix it, maybe try another citrus--orange or tangerine maybe?

Presto w/out spigot, 6006, no black bits. Only use wooden spoons/skewers, wax only.

I gotta agree with Wendy here--they look great--wouldn't change a thing.
