  1. I second overnight prints. You can ALWAYS find discount codes online that you can use.
  2. We just set up a new site so I can better manage everything. It's still in process, I have so much more to add! http://modwax.com
  3. Try companies like Travelers, The Hartford or Allied Insurance. I used to work for a commercial insurance broker as an account manager and I wrote a few liability policies for local candle shops. All of those companies should allow for a small deposit and monthly billing. Make sure you push for what YOU want, some companies will play like they can't do monthly payments but you say you're walking and they'll meet your requirements to get the business. Good luck!
  4. I love Peak! There is always a handwritten thank you on the order sheet and I love the sample FO they include. When I found out we were moving to Colorado I was beyond thrilled.
  5. I have never done anything with Sunshine and I got this same email yesterday. I wonder where it came from...
  6. I guess the use of more wax really wasn't my biggest concern. I did realize tonight as I stood in the kitchen that the stupid window in there really isn't all that well sealed. And our landlord doesn't seem to care. Oh to have my own house again! My biggest concern is that while test burning I found the scent throw to not be nearly as strong we when I tested before in Kansas City. I have always used 1oz per 1 pound of wax and found that combination to work for me. Argh, back to testing for me.
  7. Thank you! I somehow missed this thread when I searched.
  8. We recently just moved to Colorado and I've poured my first few batches of votives since we moved. First off, it seemed like it took more wax then I was used to using in Kansas City to pour a dozen candles. Second, during a test burn I've found that the candle burns more quickly and the scent throw isn't that great. I've not changed anything in how I'm pouring or in the amounts of dye/FO. I am using IGI-4625 to pour. Dye Chips and usually Peak FO's. Does this have anything to do with the elevation? This is getting really frustrating!!
  9. I LOVE Amish Harvest from Peak. It's rare for me to find a scent that even my husband can deal with and he loves it too.
  10. I tried this already, baked bread and rosemary exactly. They didn't like it at all.
  11. Thanks for all the advice everyone! I guess they want these candles as a giveaway or something to do with marketing. The problem is that they have an idea in their head of what they want and they don't understand that I can't just dump anything into wax to make a scent. They've even asked if I can put real pepperoni in while I'm melting the wax!!
  12. What is SOS? Apparently I've missed something good!
  13. Don't ever waste your money on that one...it smelled like rotten cheese :lipsrseal
