my joy boys

If the big dummy can't provide DC or tracking number, ask him to produce a receipt from the USPS postal worker at the counter (assuming he actually did mail it). Also have the sender ask the USPS to put a trace on the package, although this usually can't be done for 30 days (I think). Just don't wait too long like I did, and get screwed out of any help from eBay or PP.

Hi-- I'm in FL as well and shipping from CS is very quick and reasonable. www.candlescience.com Their customer service over the phone is unbeatable! HTH, Bonnie

I LOVE the way this looks-- it opens up so many ideas in my brain! Could someone PLEASE post instructions or the previously mentioned thread? TIA!

Mind if I email these pics to hubby as a SUGGESTION???? We are in FL, so I can't store anything in the garage except wax (I guess) and boxes and glassware and packing materials. I need to get my kids to double up so I can have a room for myself-- that'll never happen in this lifetime! But it sure is nice to look at what could be...... and I noticed the CS labels on your wicks. LOVE them! Congrats!

Have fun with your candeling! Let us know how your candle party goes. I am tossing around the idea for a "grand opening" launch of my in-home candle biz. I love to have people over and I can put on quite a spread, but I don't like the "oh I think I have to buy something just to be nice" feeling. :embarasse

Ha! That was my first thought too!

Hey, we all have to start somewhere! So welcome! I have certainly asked my share of goofball questions in the past few weeks (newbie too) and I'm sure there will be more to come. I do try to research the board and the archive before posting but sometimes you just need help NOW! And there are so many helpful folks here-- it really is a blessing. Enjoy!

What % of FO are you using for such a great hot throw? I have some El Millenium and am beating my head against the wall with the hot throw and wicking. Can you give any suggestions on those two items? Thanks!

Has anyone tried this? I have only read instructions in a book for doing it on parrafin, so I am very unsure as to what is safe to use on soy and what will stay on soy. Don't know what kind of paint to use, and what to use to "seal" the painted stencil--ie., keep from rubbing off. Any ideas?

I'm in FL and get fabulous shipping rates on palm (well, everything I order!) from CandleScience. They crank orders out fast, and I've even gotten several unexpected and much needed tutorials from their customer service folks. If they carried everything I need, I wouldn't bother to shop around anywhere for anything else. In short, CS rocks. (that icon above just looks hilarious to me... I keep waiting for his smiley little head to snap off and roll away..... sorry, running on very little sleep!)

Your booth set up is nice and classy! Wonderful presentation! I have only done one craft show so far and I did about the same as you, except the booth was free!!! Let's just say I was NOT in prime real estate-- all the people that knew I would be there only found my booth if they ran into my husband and he told them! how sad is that.....

Kay~~ LOL-- the electric knife idea is exactly what hubby wanted to do when we first started talking about possibly cutting the plug! You know men--- any chance to use a "power tool"! Thanks for letting me know about the flat and concave molds. I like the look of concave tops and that's the type of the few molds I have. Potential buyer alert-- I am looking to stock up big time on molds from this board when my 30 days are up. I sure wish I could do it now! Would my eBay 100% positive rating help??? Kay, thank you SOOO much for your help with this issue!!!! You are a real gem! Gotta run, I think I hear hubby with the chain saw instead of the electric carving knife..............

Hi Shannon, and Welcome! Sounds like you are in a great position with existing clientele and and an upscale spa to sell your B&B products in! (personally I would love to have that set up to start my biz with-- I am not launched yet, but so ready to get there!) I think you are more creative with naming a biz than you think-- how cool sounding is Show Offs by Shannon? I think it fits perfectly with the show clothing for horses and the aliteration and incorporating your name! Would in having "Shannon" in the name of the new business bring biz over from your "Show Offs..." success? Just some thoughts... Again, welcome!

Oh Kay, I'm glad you are online! My plug is purple (not that matters!) and is significantly taller than the low profile Glass TL holder (looks just like yours-- Garden Ridge, perhaps?) This is where hubby was suggesting to cut the plug itself so that it fits in the glass TL holder with less sticking out. (geez, am I making any sense?) I am also unsure about what/how to cut the plug with. Does using a concave mold have any effect on this? Thanks so much!

So is it safe to say that the Glass Glow does not eat dye chips like soy does? Have you found that smaller amounts of dye chips are working well in GG? Thanks~~ again, it is beautiful!
