Ok - well - I hit up our closest supply store for crafts like this... I have to say that starting this right now would be getting me in over my head. I appreciate all the honesty here... about start-up costs, etc... I hope I have the time and money in the near future. I think I could really enjoy candle making! I'd probably burn more than I ever sold, but hey... lmao! I do still have the website that I use for my family. If any of you are interested in starting your own website, whether to promote your candles or whatever, the least I can do is tell you about it for all your help. Send me a PM and I'll get you filled in. Thnx So Much! I'll be checking in even though I am not "candle material" lmao. I like the atmosphere in here. ~~Heather~~

Great Help everyone - I appreciate all of it!!

Ok - So first I'm going to need $$$. I seriously didn't think it would cost that much to get going, but .... LMAO Hubby seems to think that soy is the way to go. For some reason it sounds like the 'pricey' way to go to me, lol. Is there a few threads you can direct in my direction for wax choices, etc.. I am trying to get the hang of the browsing, but there is so much info! I'm glad I found this forum... I don't think I've seen this much info anywhere yet. Thnx everyone! ~~Heather~~

Hello Everyone... I have not yet begun the candle making process, but have been interested in it for quite some time. I always thought I would need to have a separate stove/work area, and with my house that is impossible. However, I have come to the conclusion from browsing here, that this is not a must if you are not clutzy, lol. I am posting in here because I see all of you chit chatting and sharing ideas and making brochures and all kinds of fun stuff. I have my own website for my family and recipes and stuff and just recently had a friend sign up to get one for advertising her jewelry. I just thought I would share in case any of you ever thought about having one too. It is only $10 per month payable via paypal (which is my favorite part) and no contract. You can also make money off of your site, but that's just an added perk. I would be happy to share the info with any of you that are interested... In return - UH OH! There's a catch! - LOL, I just ask for some help on getting myself started with making candles. lol. Gotcha huh? I have been browsing... Still trying to figure out this whole forum thing, but it seems that most of you have been doing this for a long time and I kind of get lost when reading about things. Is there a list of terms that would help me out? Would I be better off starting at my local store for startup supplies? I am really starting from scratch here... All help would be greatly appreciated. Thnx A Bunch ~~Heather~~
