June 24th--but my daughter was 2 weeks early--so lets hope!

It's awful in public when you want to scratch your backside non-stop! LOL

Thanks so much for all of the suggestions---i might try to whip me up something this weekend after my daughter's 4th birthday party! The fun never stops!!!!!

Thanks again!

Thank you all so much@ This cold weather does not help much either.

Maybe I can get relief soon.

I have been itching like crazy. I have soywhip and goatmilk lotion, but they don't seem to offer much relief. Does anyone have a suggestion? Something store bought or something I can make? Even the tops of my feet itch.....

Thanks!

15 weeks and counting.....!

The lamp rings----do you use .5 or 1 oz refresher bottles? Also, how much oil do you put to a base? Do you use a base? I have been wanting to get into these for a long time---but have been skeptical of their ability to sell---how much do you charge?

After some more research and some help from my dad, I think I am going to make one---the directions I orignally had were going to cost all of 50 bucks so i thought that I would buy one. But I have looked some more and I think I can do it for 10 bucks too.

Thanks for your help!

Becky

A few weeks ago, I had an ad for a premade light box either from Oriental Trading or LTD. But I can't find it. It was around 50 bucks.

Does anyone know where I can get a premade one like this or if either of these sites are where I saw it. My mind is failing me.....

Becky

I have an OKI 5200 and it prints on glossy just fine. Sorry about yours!!!

Where did those come from? Those would be perfect for a fundraiser I am getting ready to do (as samples, not to sell!!LOL)

Becky

I did not add this but this is my melting pot on back porch of shop. Once I get candles done take them to show room will post those next we are doing construction. That is where all the soap and stuff is....[ATTACH]7801[/ATTACH]

Is that a picture of a Turkey Fryer? I can't see too well, LOL, but it looks just like mine. I never thought of using that for a wax melter. Can you control the temp on those----we are moving and I just moved that to the new house tonight.

Becky

Thanks@ I will check them all out. You guys are great!

Becky

I have looked until my eyes are crossed. I have used Paint Shop, Print Shop, AMerican Greetings, and all the Microsoft stuff. I went to free sites and to no avail....maybe someone can help me here.

I just did 17 gift bags for a wedding shower--shower gel, lotion, soap cookies, and a lip balm. On the label, it will have the shower date, the couple's names, a cute saying, my info, and a GRAPHIC--that I can't find.

I need a graphic that is of some girls/ladies/friends together. They can be sitting, standing, both. Kinda like a "Girls Night Out" graphic---does this strike a chord with anyone here? Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Becky

That label is sooooo good! I am so label challenged---designing that is. That really helps a bunch!

Becky

I think I am going to try all 3. I will just cut them out myself--and see which one I like best before I buy. I have just started into the lipbalm arena and I think I am going to become a junkie. Can your lips get addicted to this stuff? I have always heard that could happen!

I just made a big batch of this this week--Tropical Island--yum! Anyway, I don't melt mine. I just put it in the KA add the oil and fragrance and beat until smooth. I then add color ( if I color) and beat a bit longer. I also made a scrub using sugar and added until the point of saturation--it almost doubles in volume. It's a little rough when you get started whipping--but after about 30-45 seconds, it smooths right out.

HOpe this helps!

Becky

Thanks! I think I will try the smaller one first--my cutting skills are not so good! LOL

By the way, I love your designs on both your sites. You are very talented.

Thanks!

Becky

What size do you use? I just made some and I can't wait to get the labels on there. I have did search after search and can't find information.

Becky

It's one of my fav's from KY. My kids at school all want me to make them one and I had a order last week for several. So I think that if someone wants a "wintery" scent in the summer, it must be pretty good. Give it a chance, I think you will like it.

I went to Big Lots yesterday and they had a good size pouf for 29 cents! Most of what they had were yellow and white. I bought 30 poufs, but I am going back and buying 50 more! Don't know if this helps you-----but they beat the Dollar Tree.

Having been in this for over a year, I can see where it is very easy to get many suppliers. I have made myself stick mainly with 3 and I venture out to 4 others.

So my 2 are

www.kycandlewaxsupply.com

www.wholesalesuppliesplus.com

You can't beat Vickey's oils in Soy or Bath products and I love the KY125. WSP gives me almost everything else.

Becky

My best sellers from there are:

Caramel Pecan

Orange Chiffon

Cool Citrus Basil---I call it Odor Eater---it works awesome

Creme Brulee

Straw/Rhubarb

Strawberry Taffy

Grandmother's Toddy

The BEST Vanilla----Southern Vanilla

Cleopatra

How do you all advertise your gift baskets? I am really wanting to take my business in this direction, but I am a marketing dummy.

and on that note....where can I read/get some marketing help?

Thanks,

becky

Someone has contacted me about selling candles as a distributor through the home party scene. I have worked up some details for that but was wondering if anyone on here had any experience in this? What is your part? What is their part? Rewards? Etc.

Any help greatly appreciated!

Soynut

Does anyone make this? I have a Candleberry candle and it is AWESOME. I tried to make some maple syrup with caramel pecan, but no luck. Where can I get the fo???????

soynut

Thanks! I have a new recipe that calls for the other two---but I won't be ordering any supplies anytime soon!

I will try it with the avocado/almond.

Soynut

I am going to make some sugar scrub and I don't have any Apricot kernel oil or Palm Kernel oil on hand. What can I sub for these 2?

Would sweet almond oil and/or avocado oil work? Rice bran oil?

Thanks,

Becky
