  1. The method I used in the past was soy wax with different colors of dye on toothpicks and swirl it around.
  2. Yeah, I don't get it either but if you get more people buying into it and they want a less expensive way to get replacements I might just give it try.
  3. Yes, if you get a measurement let me know. Thank you!
  4. Good idea! But I will have to wait until I get to my nearest store which is 50 miles away! I went online but shipping for one was $5.99. I am not too thrilled about paying $10.98 just to see how big these things are!
  5. That is the same size as what Aztec has.
  6. Those look pretty dang close. I would have to go to a store with a ruler to measure them! What do you think they would say about that!?
  7. Yes they are the Scenterpiece warmers. So the maxi tealights are not the right size?
  8. I am wondering the same thing. I did a show this weekend and a lady who uses those asked if I would consider making those. I told her she could probably dump the melted wax out of their cup and pop my wax right in their empty cup after she cleans the old wax out good. I have seem those in their stores and wonder if those are the maxi tealight cups that a few of the suppliers offer.
  9. Congratulations Shannon! You have big shoes to fill but I don't think that will be a problem for you!
  10. I didn't say anything too quotable but have at it!
  11. Ugh! I am going to miss her as well! I was shocked when I saw this post and feel so sad for her family. This stuff is never easy.
  12. I just placed an order with them a couple months ago and everything seemed fine to me. But I have never tried calling them for any reason so I can't help you there. They are still in business as far as I know. I was just looking on there website a couple days ago.
  13. Actually I only have about 35 to 40 FOs so it is not that hard to look for them. I think if I had 103 I would have to keep some sort of organization or I would go crazy. I do pour a bunch at a time. Usually about 5 or 6 a day! Everybody has their own system and we have to do what works best for us!
  14. I keep mine in the cool dark basement so they keep longer. I don't categorize them either. Just keep looking until I find what I am looking for! I am not organized enough to go that extreme!
  15. I found a used counter top oven on Ebay for really cheap. It is big enough to hold 3 pouring pots in it.
  16. I did try Amazon out and put a couple things up for sale but never got a sale. I just don't have the time to do anything with it if there is something else I am supposed to be doing with it! If that makes sense!
  17. LOL! It is funny how everyone's nose is so different. I can definitely smell the line in it!
  18. I will chime in on the CS bandwagon too! They are a good supplier and fast shipping. I would probably have them as my main supplier if they weren't so far away but there are some of the FOs that I cannot go without so that is mostly what I order from them.
  19. Macintosh, Apples & Maple Bourbon, Caribbean Teakwood, Coriander & Tonka (but that is another one that does not sell), Driftwood, Fresh Coffee, Cedarwood Vanilla, and of course Violet Lime!
  20. Ugh! I have never done that but oh boy that has got to be a kick in the butt!
  21. I will see how things go in the next couple months. If it does not start to sell I will give it a new name!
  22. I just started offering it and it is not going over so well here either. It is a nice strong scent but people just don't seem to take to it so well. I will keep it around for the next year to see what happens and if it does not start moving I will have to discontinue it.
  23. I can see all the pictures in the posts I checked out.
  24. Soy wax is a good wax. I personally don't use it but if that is what you want to use go for it. There are some FOs that do not wax as well in soy as they do in other waxes so you just have to test them out. I have heard a little beeswax can slow burn time down in paraffin so it might work in soy. And yes, the standard it 1 oz for pound of wax but again test, test, and then test.
