I can't see anything on that link, just that the search showed no matches Or is that just for me LOL Anjie,x.

Sorry Chauntelle! Things got hectic again tonight (sister in law came round to do paperwork re our new house and kids got to bed late ) and by the time me and hubby had dinner it was even later and I fell asleep during Gordon Ramsay !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lucky we sky+'d it (he he he) so the monkey farts candle never got made - sorry :tiptoe: I have decided to bunk off of my usual session at the gym today and make it in peace and quite, with no kids here, instead So watch this space, i'll be burning tonight. I am probably tempting fate here but I have never had to pay import duty on anything I have recieved from the States. But I never buy if the shipping is via FEDEX or UPS, then you will DEFINATELY get a bill, they make sure of that for you. I always request USPS, then never order TOO much in one go - you watch! I'll have to pay it on my next arrival now LOL Anjie,x.

I gave the orange hex pillar I made to my best friend, she loves the colour orange and I HATE it, so my mission tonight is to make me a yellow one and burn burn burn, and lets see what that hot throw is like Anjie,x.

Sudsnwicks, I use gas now as thats all we have, my hob is gas. So it will be no different, I am always very careful when melting wax. Thanks for your concern though. Anjie,x.

We're moving from a 3 bed to a 4, so we both have the same situation of boys sharing ARGHHHHH the little monsters need their own space now they are getting older, and baby is still in a cot in our room. So I feel your pain! This has just been an unbelievable break for us, I thought we would never move and then it's handed to us on a plate. The rustics I made last night turned out fab! except one, that broke in half as I pulled it out of the mould LOL its the first time that has happened and hopefully the last. Anjie,x.

Yvette, turn it into any thread you want to and if it involves choccy then WEYHEY Funny you should mention about having your own workshop We are buying my sister-in-laws HUGE house and moving in around 4 weeks (6 weeks tops), hubby will have his own games room, kids will have their own bedrooms, and guess who is getting their own 'candle making space' (sorry can't help it :whoohoo: ) True its only in the garage but OMG my own shelves, cupboards and work surfaces! And he's going to buy me my own calor gas burners so I can "stay the hell out of HIS kitchen" Ok excitement over YEAH RIGHT . Where did you get your digital thermometer Satin? Is it specifically for wax use or is it a sugar one? Anjie,x.

Pouring temps not a problem Yvette, I can judge that really easily as I only ever pour rustic. Anjie,x.

I've never seen one in my local supermarket. I've ordered on online but am making candles tonight as tomorrow is going to be manic around here. Anjie,x.

OK, how does a girl who sooooo stupidly dropped her thermometer on the floor and smashed it know when to add her FO?? Are there any tell tale (visual) signs that the temp is around 190? Like, when it gets to around pouring time for rustics you see little streaks appear on the surface. Anything like this happen that will tell me I am adding FO at the right time? I could slap myself in the head....stupid stupid STUPID! Anjie,x.

Did it work with the other fo Yvette? Got any pics? Anjie,x.

It a LUSH smell, banana's, peach, orange, coconut - just unbelievably fruity. Anjie,x.

Yes Ramaroa, I think i'll try the 4oz sizes next and order LOADS lol. Haven't burned the monkey farts pillar yet, but the cold throw is still 'in yer face', its standing in my hall and I can smell it at the top of my stairs if the window at the bottom of the stairs isn't open. I really don't like the orange colour I poured it in, will def. go for a shade of yellow next time. At the moment I am mesmerised by Daystars Coconut Pear OMG if I could strap it to my face in a bag I would!!!! :drool: Everytime i smell it i drool!! Anjie,x.

Look forward to seeing them Anjie,x.

LMFAO Yvette Anjie,x.

Monkey Farts LOL (makes me laugh everytime I say that). I made a pillar in orange and it just didn't GRAB me! I've tried yellow and liked that. What colour do you all use for monkey farts? Anjie,x.

Got a kids party to take one of my sons too right in the middle of Saturday, so won't be pouring anything until Saturday evening, even then I might be too tired Definately going to be making something with my new oils: Victoria, Pumpkin Spice, Berry Bubblegum and Blackberry Chocolate , not sure what yet, maybe some tins, maybe some containers, maybe some pillars lol. I'll see how the mood grabs me Anjie,x.

Why are you shouting Chauntelle?? LMFAO! Anjie,x.

Scratch and Sniff screen!! What a fab idea *LOL*, ooooook, who's gonna make one then?? :rolleyes2 Anjie,x.

Thanks for the warning Nat, I guess i'll have fun finding out which ones are good and which not so Thats what this is all about for me . Their Monkey Farts has a great cold throw in wax, not sure about hot yet as I only made a pillar this afternoon. Anjie,x.

Will do Candle Man fingers crossed. I'll pour some tonight, just for you! lol. Anjie,x.

Sorry Yvette, I got the postage wrong, its $12.... so £6 LOL!! flat rate AIRMAIL (and it got here in under a week!!), and they can fit 2 x 16oz and 1 x 8oz bottles in, plus they fit 6 colour blocks in mine too! If you look on the postage rates on their website http://www.thecandlesource.com/catalog/c33_p1.html there are 2 flat rate options for UK shipping, one is the $12 and one is $37 and you can fit 8 x 16oz and 6 x 4oz in that one! So yeah, i's a happy bunny. The oils are out of this world too Anjie,x.

My fragrance oils from the USA arrived today and OMG the monkey farts smells delicious the Fresh Peach is 'wow' too. I ordered them from The Candle Source and they are blow your head off strong! The candles I make with these are going to have a blinding throw. I'm soo happy The oils are fab and the postage was a flat rate of £12! What more can a girl ask for?? Anjie,x.

What's happened to Leesters?? OMG! Where's tha latest addition to the blog???? LOL Come on now, update! Need entertaining! Anjie,x.

I like it, its very different and individual and thats a good thing. Well done you. Anjie,x.

Thanks for that link to the descriptions page - dohhh, knew it must be there somewhere! As for what I ordered......well....... I got a bad case of fragrance oil fever and went a bit looney My first fatal mistake? Having one of Anjies 'fab' ideas and deciding to go through the list and add everything I liked the sound of to the shopping basket and short list afterwards - well of course I had trouble deciding and ordered far too much!!! I got Juicy Sweet Cherry, Orange Dreamsicle, Pomegranite, Warm Vanilla Sugar, Watermelon, Spring Rain and last but not least Freesia! Some in 16oz and a few in 8oz sizes. My second fatal mistake?...... reading this thread again and seeing your suggestions and GOING BACK FOR ANOTHER LOOK!!!!! I now have another shortlist of - Chipotle Cracked Pecans, Pumpkin Vanilla, Spearmint, and sun washed linen..oh and Fresh Peach and Monkey Farts of course I've spent far too much money, but you know what? Am I bovered?? ROFL Anjie,x.
