hey don't think it couldn't happen. I almost burned my shop down trying to use a torch. Kodoes to you! They look wonderful. After the bad exeprience i had with a defective torch that ended up engulfing my hand in flames i will never touch one again.

Those are just beautiful!!

wow those are cute!! I've never seen something like that before.

I make salt bars and can tell you that the next day after i unmold the CP soap that has salt i have to slice it asap. If i let it sit too long it will not slice well. Salt draws moisture to it. I don't think it necessarily makes the bar harder but it does dry faster. Citric acid helps lower the PH. Many companies use citric acid in their lotions and soaps to bring down the ph. I use it one teaspoon per pound in lotions sometimes.

I love it.. Great colors and nice curves hehehe

Congrats on your first pillar!! looks great!

Yes the possibilities with these roses are endless. I think you could have a lot of fun just seeing what you can come up with for color combinations and such. Enjoy!

The companies i buy my accessories from email me the photos of the products to use but i ask permission and fill out a form to get them. How hard is it to ask people to use their own images? Its a shame we have to go to such lengths just so someone wont use our own images on their web sites.

It depends on the size and shape of the jar on what i'll use. I usually have a 2x4 label on my large round container candles and also have a candle poem on a hang tag with a charm and tied on with ribbon. On smaller candles i use hang tags. Veronica

When i first put up my web site i had a few of my photos taken. A women made a web site and posted about it on a yahoo group asking for opinions on her new web site. Low and behold there were several photos from my web site. All of which you could clearly make out my labels and company logo!! I mean talk about nerve!! I emediately said to her on the list she posted about her web site... its nice and all except i would appreciate you not taking my photos from my web site and claiming them as your own. I said anyone with half a brain can clearly see the labels on those bottles and jars and see that my business name and logo are on them. I don't think you can get any lower than that do you? Now i also put my business name across the Images as well.

Have you tried painting the tips another color or pouring the tips in another color wax? you know how some roses have different colors running along the tips? I think that would look awesome too. I just love roses in any shape or form.

i doubt that. I don't make gel candles or rustic anything. I"m into victorian style, i don't do country at all. Her stuff is in a store that sells all country style decor and rustic type items.

yes i've seen your items in the Angels touch and decor shop across the street from me. Veronica

well its true what they say that the first year is the hardest. I mean the start up costs alone are a killer. Inspections, repairs, fees, signs, advertisements etc. I had a lot of customers yesterday due to the article but i'm expecting a lot more the rest of the week. My husband kept the shop open late last night because we had a flood of calls from people wanting to come in after they had dinner. Usually we close at 7 but since the article hit we've been busy and i'm not going to close up if we still have people coming in. Thats just silly. So i went home at 7 and my husband stayed here till 9. We might do that all week just to handle the flow of customers. We are making sure to tell people that we normally close at 7 so they don't think they can come here real late and expect us to be open.

great shop!! I love the size of it and your set up. I'm in a tiny little place so don't have the ability to do what you've done. I love your displays they really show off the colors of the candles. good job!! How long did it take you to set that up?
