    Kinda reminds me of last year when a gal I know came over just after I got done pouring Rose Bouqet and asked me where I got my scents from.

    Told her I had them shipped to me. She said she was wanting to start making candles. Lol, she hasn't been back since then, but I did send her home with a couple of votives. :grin2: That I had tested.

    Also told her that I wasn't ready to sell yet cause I still have alot of testing to do. She did give me a dumbfounded look:confused: . Like geez don't you just melt the wax, scent it, color it, wick it and sell it. She knew I had been making candles for a couple of monthes.

    Container Wax Advice

    I use the comfort blend and just love it and so do my testers and a few others that have bought my containers. I tried using another container wax but no one here liked it so I went back to the comfort. It is messy to work with. I heat up to about 180 add FO and color, and pour at about 175

    I will be doing a presentation at some point this year thru the Chamber office here in Leander,Texas.

    Also if you want me to add your website let me know.

    I added the websites I could find at the end of it. Some folks have asked me if I do Soy Candles and I have to tell them no I don't, but I know of someone who does. I reference my notes and give them a website to go to. Right off the top of my head can't remember whose website I gave.

    So I thought I would add everyones website to my presentation Sorry if you don't want it on there let me know.

    I am trying to help everyone out who has helped me. I don't claim to know everything cause you great folks on here have taught me everything I know and that is stated in my presentation. I am not trying to step on anyones toes.

    Tammy

    PS if you would like me to remove your website please let me know and it will be done ASAP.

    lol dragon it will be scheduled during a luncheon type deal. They come and listen for 20-30 min and then get to eat and run.

    I will be putting together the packet and talking with the fire marshall and our local fire department.

    and keeping in touch with the chamber to see when this will be so I can tell everyone.. in the mean time I will be doing some research and reading some of the articles that I have found. will print out some of them to include in the packet.

    I think I can include anything related to candles in the packet so Helpful burning tips will be done to

    SO when I get the packets done who wants to preview it for me. just to make sure I have all my papers in order lol..

    Thanks everyone
