Donna-Do

Try http://www.houseoftoners.com/ I've been buying my printer ink from them for over a year. They recently started carrying the real HP ink cartridges too and they're like $10-$15 less than Wal-Mart. Free shipping too.

You can find the larger tart molds here: http://cart.candlesupply.com/search.php?mode=search&page=1 And check here for the tape/ lip bags: http://gtbags.com/polyproliptape.html They’re usually cheaper than papermart.

I agree with pcbrook...I've been making them for years and while they don't sell anything like my tarts do, they still sell. A lot of people just don't like the smoke...

Got my sample the other day and boy did my mail box smell good! Sorry I didn’t post about it sooner but when I came here to do it, the board was down… Anyway, here are my thoughts… is it original, is there something out there just like it? Not just like it but I think this smells a lot like Roobois (Red Tea) from AH/RE. Maybe with just a touch of lemon. Very similar though. 2. is it strong enough to be enjoyable? Thought it was pretty strong and threw well. 3.IS the scent pleasant to you? I thought it was nice, though I’m more into spicy/bakery types scents. It definitely wasn’t unpleasant. 4. Does it's name "match" the scent? I’d have to say no, specially after thinking it smelled like the Roobois…I was expecting more orange, like some of the others and definitely didn’t pick up a bunch of spice. Hope my review was helpful and thanks again for letting me try it!

Fourth!!!

I'd love to be a tester as well!

Her Vanilla Bean is like the first true dupe of Vanilla Bean Noel and is awesome! As for other ones not mentioned that are must haves, all I can say is SUN WASHED LINEN.

I use TNC's and my customers seem to love it. I'm not a floral person myself. lol

Thanks Scented! Haven't thought of mixing orange with patchouli, I might have to try it. The Blood Orange I had was totally different than Sweet Orange and Chili Pepper (I carry that one too)...Tried JS's Blood Orange and it didn't even come close. Thanks again!

C&S used to have the best Blood Orange on their bargain FO page but now it's gone. Did a search on Fragrance Finder and Scent Forum and came up with nothing...Anyone know of a really good one? TIA

Tennessee is one of my main suppliers…Here are just a few that are great in my paraffin blend: Pumpkin Soufflé Cinnamon Bread Pudding Sugar Cookie Amish Spice Red Hot Cinnamon Kettle Corn Vanilla Bean Noel Blackberry Pie Spiced Clove This Old House Winter Candy Apple Apple Mango Tango Bubble Gum Verbena Berry True Lavender Lavender Milk Honeysuckle Wisteria Glow Type Fresh Linen Baby Powder I know there’s more but these are ones off the top of my head. lol

Oh, I thought you already had the mold. lol Forgot to mention too, that RE has some great micas and glitter for candles.

Sometimes they'll get easier to use after you use them a few times but as painful as it might be, sometimes you just have to snip them... If you're using any kind of soy wax, that might be making it a little harder too. Do you have a picture of the mold?

Oh, okay. I'll check with her then. Thanks!

I saw that the 132 has a lower MP but it's a soy blend. I'm one of those people that can smell soy and it's not a good smell. lol Can you detect any odor to it? I might have to get some to try in any case... TIA

Thanks xxx. I'll have to go check that out... Tried the KY143 today and liked it but it has a MP of 143 and I was hoping for something lower.

Thanks Sharon! The 132 is a para/soy but I did order 10 lbs. of the 143 to test the other day. It just came in this evening, so I know what I'll be doing tomorrow. lol

Ditto the one from NG.

Anyone know where I can get something similar to this wax??? Granualted paraffin with NO soy please??? I've been using JS' VOT wax for tarts for almost a year and now she's not carrying it anymore. I'm up the creek without a paddle! TIA

Far as I know, Alabaster carries the AstorV in pellet form. You might want to check there... I'm looking for a wax that has the detergent consistency you're talking about. Can I as what it is and where you got it from? TIA

Oh, I'm sorry...When you said it had a musk scent to it, I thought you meant you had the MCS. lol VBN has a definite musk note to it.

NG's Mrs. Claus' Cookies smells exactly like VBN to me...I'd say it's an exact dupe.

They probably are...This place does custom shells: http://clamshells.com/clamshell-packaging.html

Try BW's Lilac Linens while you're at it. It's really pretty.

Thanks Judy! Moonglow is where I saw it before, I just couldn't remember. lol Never even heard of them...Any good FO recommendations anyone?
