I always put my shredds into a fresh batch of cp. It works wonderful and helps get rid of the shredds. I just scent it to match or something complimentary. It is a great way to use up shredds. Janis

I use 1.5 X 3 labels made from my primera but I'm sure online has that size, I have used kraft and white and now use the water resistant ones on them. I had problems labeling the lids as people would take the lid off to smell them and then put a different lid on and get them all goofed up especially in wholesale acct's where the people don't really have time to play musical lids, I liked the way it looked on the lids as well. I hope you find a solution they aren't the easiest jar to label that is for sure. janis

Maybe if you talked to Tammy at Elements she will bring it in for you if you are purchasing that amt. I know I sure would and then you know it will be the same one Rhonda had. I would definitely talk to Tammy she is a very nice and reasonable person. janis

Thank You, gosh I order from them and never saw it there, thank you so much. janis

Does anyone know where I could get a dupe of this for soap and candles or have one you can recommend if so I would appreciate it, have a new wholesale client that wants this. Thanks alot. janis

Well my new favorites are 3 from Moonworks Collection (Rhonda from the old Flickers new store) My very favorite is earthen Oak, and then Bay and Citris and I love her sun and earth it has lots of orange in it with some spicy/earthy notes. I also have to have tranquil sleep and chamomile pear from Lezlee at simple soothings and for candles Sweet Orange Chile Pepper, Antique Lilac, Carrot cake, Merlins forest, Cozy home, Artic Air. I know there are tons more I am missing but my mind has gone completely blank by now. janis

yes I think I will try it another day and mixing it with some rose would be wonderful. Have you tried the fig forest?? If so what % do you use I tried it with 1 oz. ppo and think I could go down a bit with this one as well. Thanks for the help I sure appreciate it alot. janis

I am testing this in soy and I used 1 oz. ppo and it smells kinda fuely to me I know that's not a word but I wonder if I may have used too much and need to go down a touch. I use 100% soy wax. I am loving the lime and violet and the sex on the beach in my wax and am trying out a few others. janis

yes it is coming down in price thank god it has been high for far too long. janis

does anyone make a true musk for use in soy that has a good hot and cold throw. I have a regular customer that needs several candles in this scent and my musk just won't work in soy it just has no throw. Thanks, Janis

there was a discussion on one of my groups for this very thing and I think the person somehow made them using a pice of pvc type pipe, I think they greased it up really well to make it but don't quote me on that and used bulk wicking to wick it. I know I have heard of someone making them but don't know who. maybe this will jog someones memory. janis

I'm thinking about approaching local business with a flyer and a sample outlining corporate / employee gifts etc. Has anyone had any experience in this arena and if so could you share some of your ideas. I am thinking candles maybe a case price for employee gifts / incentives etc then some different priced baskets / gifts. If anyone has had success with this I would love to hear from you on what type of businesses you approached and how you handled it and what types of things they ordered. TIA, janis rogers jansbathscents

what software do you print from for your labels, I use printshop 22 and I have went in and made a label that is just a titch too big such as 2.65 x 2.65 and then printed it to help it go all the way to the edge but also the settings that come up when you hit print also can be adjusted to make it print further up or down or left or right etc. and that can be trial and error for sure. I print my 2.5 rounds nice though with full coverage from printshop 22 with no problems. janis

blanco is another great place to work with, I always check prices between kenco and blanco, I like the synthetic labels at kenco as well, they are very nice. http://www.blancolabels.com/index.php Janis
