What's been your more popular Christmas fragrances? The ones that people request all the time. Thanks for your help. Jen

I'm going! It's always a great time at the Bama meet, they have so many great demos, we have made lots of friends and can't wait to catch up with them again. Hope to see you there Darbla.

Tony's/Southern Garden Scents is now stocking all of Old Mill's fragrances

Here's the link for the Alabama and also this weekend in GA http://www.alabamasoapmeeting.com/ http://www.gaspringflinggathering.com/

http://www.gaspringflinggathering.com/ Just bumping this back up for Sindy

You can find some good soap making tutorials on UTube

Thanks for that, unfortunately I'm not going to Perth LOL I'll be in SA and QLD.

Hey Darthy, which State is the first one in? I looked all over their website and couldn't see it. I'll be in Australia, and in Qld around March and was wondering if there were any places I could get EO's from that I could pick up, or at least get them delivered to my niece's house. Thanks Jen

I love soap with avocado oil. Next favorite would be macadamia. But my fav all time bar of soap was made with mink oil. I personally didn't make it but I received it from a friend and I sure hoard that bar, its by far the best bar of soap I've ever tried.

I was going to suggest Kangaroo Blue myself, I've been wanting to order from them so I'm interested in this thread.

Also try and add a little veggie stearic to the base as you melt it. I always used about 2 tsp per pound of base. HTH

Does Our America still exist? I went to their website but it doesn't come up as them. I'm also trying to remember where I used to get these types of tart burners. It was a wine bottle with a hanging basket to put in your tart and underneath was where you put in your tea light. The wholesale company I used to get these from had lots of different kinds. http://www.bizrate.com/candles_accessories/oid466713240__start--10.html here's a picture of what I'm talking about. I just can't remember where I got these wholesale. Thanks for any help. Jen

Thanks everyone for your well wishes. I decided to take this opportunity because things have taken a different direction in my life and I just didn't have the time or energy to devote to the business like I once used to. My main concern was making sure my customers were taken care of, and having Diana from Southern Garden Scents/Tonys Fragrances I knew they would be in good hands. Diana will be stocking ALL of my fragrances but not all at once. The most popular she will will be ordering in first, then adding to them over time. Some she will do on a special buy during the year, but rest assured that she WILL be carrying ALL of them. Most of you are customers of Tony's so this just seemed liked the right thing to do at the right time. They have a wonderful reputation with their customers and that's the kind of home I wanted the Old Mill Fragrances to go. I also believe that the prices will remain the same for the time being, unless of course manufacturers have a price increase. Merry Christmas! Jennifer

Sounds like the NJ gathering was a good one! Good job. TN is having their 1st Soap and Candle gathering in May 2008. Here's the link if you're interested: www.tnsoapandcandlegathering.com

We are having a get together in Nashville on the 21st of this month. Its a bunch of girls that make soap and candles. Hope you are close by and can make it, if you need a ride just let me know because we have girls coming from all over TN.

Anybody else want in on this fragrance? I'm running a co-op on it and before I order just want to see if anyone might in interested. Price $18.75/lb. Thanks Jennifer

I'm not sure how I came by this idea, it could have been from somebody on here and I do apologize for not remembering where it came from. I had my hub make make an insert to fit inside of my mold, made from some scrap 2x4's, cut to the exact size that fit inside the mold. He stacked two of them together. All I need to do now is take my wax paper and wrap that sucker like a christmas present leaving the top open, slowly take out the wood and then put the wax paper down inside the mold, cut around the top, and slit the sides to tape down and voila you're in business. It takes a little bit of practice, but hey once you've got the hang of it you can whip these puppies out in no time.

I really like the ones with the clear acetate lid.

Wonderful crates, I love them! Outstanding service as well. I ordered last week and got my notice on Sunday. I'm sure they will contact you and let you know about your order.

sent you a PM

Thanks all for the replies, sounds like I'm definately better off sticking with the glue pot.

I think I'll stick with the glue pot. Oh I got the Wick Stickums from Aztec. Thanks for the replies.
