  1. I am just now seeing your reply Thank you so much. And sorry.
  2. I miss the good old days! Nowadays it's all about making a quick buck for the manufacturers, the suppliers and makers. Waxes are NOT what they used to be. Overload on wax blends and FO's for sure. Seems like every day there's a new blend popping up somewhere. It's ridiculous. I decided to go back to old school candle making and simplicity.
  3. oh changing names is tough Scentability" or "Scent-Ability" as in Scent and the "ability" to created scented goodies? Scented Senses? Scented Crafts? Forum? Community? SCF or SCC short Wheels are turning in this foggy brain of mine. LOL
  4. I think CS sold out to a Fragrance House a while back? I remember seeing something about it....somewhere.
  5. Odd indeed. I emailed Loren but haven't heard anything back yet.
  6. So...I got an email from a friend saying that TCS website is back. I checked and it is. Same as before. Does anyone know if they're back?
  7. I never liked LX wicks for containers but do like them for Pillars. CD's do well in soy bc they burn hotter. I'd give Zinc wicks a try for a paraffin wax. They burn cooler than cotton wicks and do very well, I'd start with a 51Z for you size/diameter
  8. I'm pretty sure it's safe to say that it is in fact other crafters since they are a DIY crafting company mostly now. I think I'm just gonna stick with my own websites.
  9. I just got the sign up email but not sure if I want to do it. They have a free basic version and a premium version for 9.98. On top of that they want a "low" recommendation fee and percentage +0.20 cent per sale. Hmmm
  10. Stonehenge was another one. My husband loved that one and I always made his soap with it.
  11. Yes, same here. Autumn Leaves and All Hallows Eve are two of my bestsellers and have been for 18 years. Let's hope WSP doesn't get their grubby, greedy hands on them. LOL
  12. Sad to see this but not surprised. Lots of products were discontinued over the last 2 years I got my start with BCN with a kit....and I will miss them.
  13. Personally I don't have much luck with Aztec FO's. There's only about a handful that throw for me...or to my liking. I never used their Mac Apple but I do use CS's and it's good at 8% in my waxes.
  14. Before I go hog wild on samples again and get super disappointed....can anyone recommend any Fall and Bakery scents from TCMS that are must haves in Paraffin and Soy? I know I'm asking a lot.
  15. they need to get this rewards thing fixed. People are getting pissed off.
  16. Haven't heard a peep as of yet. I am guessing oversaturation and insane inflation of the market in general might be a factor. He's kept his prices pretty decent. The whole suppliers/maker market is oversaturated and prices are completely ridiculous. Not to mention shipping.
  17. Royal PITA!! I remember my forum hosting days.
  18. This is only the second or third time he hasn't replied to my emails in the last 17 years so I'm not sure what to make of it. I have always had a decent " email relationship" with him. He's always been very helpful in regards to questions about usage of his wax and oils. Just not very forthcoming with actual facts about his wax(es) which to a degree I can understand if it was proprietary. Other suppliers don't give much info on that front either. The Google says "temporarily closed" now ....not sure what to make of that either. I know I will miss his goodies.
  19. considering he hasn't bothered to reply I highly doubt it.
  20. I just emailed Loren and asked if he'd mind sharing where his oils and wax came from. He was never very forthcoming about his wax but maybe now that he no longer sells supplies he will share. All we can do is ask...and all he can do is say yes or no. I know I will be crying rivers of tears once I get low on some of his oils.
  21. Loren was out of wax for over a year. Not the first time this happened with TCS. He would never say where his wax came from or if another supplier carried it. Some of us figured out that Swan's carried it but I don't think they do anymore.
  22. I, too enjoy unique scents & blends. I am more of a Fall, woodsy, spice, resin and bakery/foodie type.
  23. that's about how long my "quitting" lasted! Even this past year having to deal with personal stuffs, I couldn't stay away....testing new wax kept me sane this time around. Never thought that would actually be the case
  24. Oh I could never stop. Hopelessly addicted for almost 20 years now. I tried quitting. LOL...didn't work out. So I embraced my addiction.
  25. Count me in! I'm done with my personal "issues" so I can focus on candlemaking 100% once again. Hahahaha. Plus I just lost two of my main suppliers so I'm definitely looking for new ones.
