Okay, this lady who was supposed to be getting me this quote never got back to me! I got an email a few days ago, and she said she would get the quote out to me that day. Of course she didn't, so I called the next day asking for some one else to help me because she was taking so long, then they put me on hold forever and I had to go to work, so I hung up and was going to call again the next day. But I actually waited until yesterday, 2 days later, still with no email, and I find out that she is no longer working there! At first I felt bad, thinking that she was fired because of my call, but hoping it wasn't. Then I thought, if she did this to me, she probably did this to a bunch of people as well, so I shouldn't feel bad, right? I asked if she got fired, but all they said was that all they know is that she is no longer working there. So she could have quit as well. I did finally get an answer, and they said we would have to buy the minimums of each size to get the wholesale price, and that the prices on the website aren't even updated with the new, more expensive prices! Anyhow, after all this crap, I'd rather not even deal with them anymore. Sorry if I gave any hopes up. Maybe the one by Angela would be better?

Gorgeous! But I agree that the name should stand out more, and maybe a different font to match the pic?

Accidental double post.

Maybe this will help you: http://craftsreport.com/december97/c.html

Well, I called earlier today, and a lady there told me she would get back to me with the quote, which she hasn't as of yet, but she did say that they have a will call there! I'll post when I get the quote.

Please let me know what size everyone's interested in, so that I could get a quote. I've asked them if we could get special pricing if we order like 1000 each of at least 3 sizes, and now they want to know which sizes. So they might do it!! So far, I put in the inquiry on the following sizes, but said there might be more in case of other sizes wanted: 1/4 oz shallow 1 oz or 2 oz deep 4 oz deep and 8 oz deep

I would be! If you wanted me to do it, I would have to wait until this Papermart Co-op ends. I'll find out tomorrow if they do pick-ups at the headquarters.

I think they would be cute as baby shower favors!

I agree. They do have the best prices I've seen, even on the smaller qty packaging. I just now checked out their locations, and realize I live within driving distance from their vernon location, but it's their main headquarters so don't know if they carry them there, but if they do maybe I can do a co-op and pick up!! I'll call them tuesday and let you guys know.

Seems their prices are pretty good.. any idea on the quality? TIA!

I got both butter and oil from MMS. I'll pm you the website address. Pm'd you too RX. Another tip is I am also able to advertise this as 100% Pure Shea Butter (people love it!), except for the scented one of course, and I always let them know. HTH

I do 1 lb of shea to 1 oz of shea oil.. feels greasy to touch, but absorbs pretty quickly, and leaves skin so soft! sold 5 jars yesterday! 2 unscented and 3 scented with cucumber cantaloupe (Love this scent!!!) HTH

Thanks so much to all who posted their experiences!! I tried doing this with the fo's that settled to the bottom, since my dumb ash made 4 oz bottles of each, I didn't want to waste it, so after the fo settled to the bottom, I carefully sucked up some from the top of the bottle with a pipette and filled the 5 ml sprays I got with them, and boom, crystal clear and scented still!! Only did this with Sweet Pea, Be Delicious and Pink Sugar. The Sweet Pea and Be Delicious were fine, but the Pink Sugar left my skin dry and little irritated! And this was supposed to be skin safe. What a shame, it was one of my favorites! Maybe it's the ratio? Or maybe it was the brand, and I need to stop being so cheap and buy some more expensive, higher quality oils? Yes, I know I do. But here it is anyway... 8:1 CYCLO:FO ratio: DIDN'T MIX WELL (FO Settled to bottom) Bulk Oils Pink Sugar Be Delicious Soap N Candles Pink Sugar Bear Labs Sweet Pea Monkey Farts CLEAR Soap N Candles Mango EACS Canteloupe Bulk Oils Cucumber Melon ICS Passionate Kisses Warm Vanilla Sugar Perfect Peach Love Spell Bear Labs Rose

Can you accept paypal through Mal's cart?

I love it! Looks kind of gothic!

I've ordered from her before, and have to say, her oils are yummy! I just love her Buttered Vanilla... it's hurt your tooth sweet!!

I'll let you know what they say! As for the wax in your area, maybe these places are around you?

Anyhow, HTH, and good luck!

Just wondering if there were any reviews on their waxes, or if anyone has even tried them. Just came across them surfing and realized I live like 30 minutes away from them! No prices on their website either, but anyone got any idea of how their prices are? I'll be calling them tomorrow to hopefully find out anyway. TIA!

I actually took their candle class, which was soooo cool!! Made my first hurricane with them, but they did it with a glass jar inside and those large see-through colored pebbles that people use to put in their vases and stuff (forgot what those things were called, lol). Anyhow, they turned out so cool, IMO, and when you put a lit tealight inside, it shines right through! Since we used a glass jar, they added something called 'microwax' or something like that, to make the wax adhere to the jar more, but I assume most people make them without the jar. Well, HTH!

I made some tealights with the clear acrylic cups when I first started out. I guess I didn't mix well, because the last couple tealights came out with obviously a lot more fo then the first ones I poured. Anyhow, I burned the other ones and threw the last couple in a drawer. A couple of weeks later, I look in the drawer and saw that the containers had cracked and split in half! HTH

WOAH!!! I wish I would have seen this earlier! I am SOOOOOOOOOOOO sorry, but I really didn't mean any of what I was asking or saying to come off sounding derogatory. I got the idea from another board someone recommended, and thought it would be cool to do here too. I really like this board and would never try to offend anyone purposely. Just for the record, of course I would test first anyway, which is what I've been doing, with no luck, so I have spent lots of time and money as well. But I understand where you're coming from with the time and money thing that everyone has to go through it, and thank you so much Mnhorsemom for understanding and trying to explain what I really meant. Just goes to show there are some really great people here in this group that I wouldn't want to not be a part of, or feel uncomfortable being a part of, so to all I have offended, please accept my humble apologies, and thanks to all who have put in the helpful input:) !

Thanks for replying:) , but that is why I posted this... to save me, and I'm sure a few others who are making these or interested in making these, some time and money as it could get pretty expensive testing! So any do's and don'ts would help a lot, TIA!

Tested a few fo's with cyclone and they end up settling to the bottom. I use about 8:1 ratio. Got this idea from another member.. Which scents, from where, worked well for you, and with what ratio? Thanks!!

I think I saw that in the Jackel Catalog I just got. Lemme double check.
