  1. Everything I have has some kind of spice to it and would like to find a plain one. TIA
  2. I uses USPS' Click N Ship to print out my postage. You get a small discount and free delivery confirmation when you have an account. I've never had a package get "lost". I think the delivery confirmation has a lot to do with it. I'd give it another week or two before refunding her money or resending the order. It might show still show up.
  3. I think most people just use the glass flower pots for molds. They're only about a $1 a piece.
  4. I see a lot of etailers that have free shipping sales and wonder how they can afford to do this...I can see it with a minimum purchase but a lot of them do it without a minimum. What happens with all the $10-$20 orders? If I paid shipping on a $10 order of tarts, it would actually be spending money for them to take my tarts in most cases. lol Can you write off the cost of this free shipping on your taxes at the end of the year or something? Just trying to figure this one out...
  5. I've heard people use the clear mod podge. Paint it on the pillar with a brush and then sprinkle the dazzle dust on or roll the candle in it. Bet Aroma Haven would be happy to tell you how they do it too.
  6. Wonder if she sold HI candles? lol I've heard that's how they make their candles. By placing a plain unscented pillar in a jar and doing a scented over pour. Saves a lot of $$$ on fragrance oil and helps to keep the wicks centered they say. lol
  7. I keep it in stock and usually have a back up lb of my best sellers as well.
  8. I've used the white plastic mixing spoons from Walmart for years now. They're like 4 in a bag for $1 and and really easy to wipe off, if you do it while the wax is still hot.
  9. Very unique! These would go over great in a western shop.
  10. BC has instructions for these here: http://www.bittercreeksouth.com/aroma_beads_instructions.htm
  11. I vote for the corn cob too. WAY cheaper and you can get it locally. I tried aroma beads and really didn't think they lasted much longer.
  12. I like RE's dyes the best...They work great and come in glass bottles with droppers. I've used the white liquid dye from Alabasters and didn't care for it. I get white dye blocks from RE for that.
  13. Thanks Jen! Never heard of them and I here I thought I knew all of the mold makers. lol
  14. Sorry for the dumb question, but who's Corey??? :embarasse
  15. RE's Pink does this to me too but it also depends on which fragrance oil I'm using at the time. lol 1/2 a drop of red works good for a soft pink. =o)
  16. Glad to hear that! I just ordered the BC along with their new Grammy's Strawberry Jam since I needed to re-order Honey Gingerbread and Blue Sugar. Love their FOs!
  17. I get my tart bags HERE. Best prices I've found for the polypro.
  18. Seems lazy, wasteful and just plain dangerous, to leave them on the candles. They're meant to be used over and over again. I use the ones from BCS.
  19. I've seen plastic molds that they say you can burn candles in like these, but not sure if that's what you're meaning... http://www.candlechem.com/equipment.htm#Votive
  20. Maybe some foil 5" pie tins like this? They wouldn't catch on fire like paper or plastic could. You could punch a hole in the middle of the bottom for the taper.
  21. If you're talking about the quilted canning jars, Ball makes them in several sizes... http://www.goodmans.net/get_item_bl-81200_ball-81200-8oz-deluxe-quilted-crystal-jelly-jars.htm?sc=trfl You might be able to find them locally.
  22. Molds are a lot less work and pay for themselves in the time they save you. Check out the cookie molds here: http://flexiblemolds.com/cookies__candy.htm
