Di - Iwould love to know who you have had good luck with. I am also in AZ so am looking at different suppliers. Leesters - How did you like Peaks?

Those labels are gorgeous! Do you print them yourself, or hire out?

Hello Everyone - Just wanted to say hello. I am new to the boards, and to candle making so I am sure I will have a ton of questions. There is a lot of great information here, I will be looking at this site for hours lol. I want to order initial supplies this week as I can't wait to get started! (Any advice is appreciated) I am looking at the different soy waxes. I have several FO here already from my bath/body stuff. However they aren't listed on Vicky's list of good throw FO for soy, so I may need to order others.. I am overwhelmed! lol

Hi everyone - The ladies at WAHM recommended this forum. I am getting ready to start playing with candles and am a total newbie at this. I have been searching old posts and trying to find out as much as possible on my own. I would like to start with soy wax, or a soy/veggie blend. When looking at favorites it seems like there are a lot of peole who prefer the ecosoya or ezsoy. I also read (and agreee) that it would be beneficial to find a supplier close by. I am in AZ and it doesn't look like there are any suplliers in my state. I did find Ceirra in NV and there are several in CA. I want to start with a small amt (few pounds, not a 50lb box). To test the wax and see what I think. I see that many companies offer a beginners kit.... So I guess my first question is what do you all recommend to start? Is a kit the best way to go, or should I order supplies? Also, are there suppliers out there who offer free samples of wax (couldn't find much in the old posts on that) I suppose I should add that my intent is to eventually sell these, so it is not simply for my personal use. Hope I am not coming off as a freeloader! I just want to research as much as possible and ask those of you who know what their doing before I order all the wrong stuff. I am totally willing to experiment Thanks! Jen
