Thank You! hqpaper looks like what I want at a great price. Trudi

Looking for 1 1/2" green skeleton leaves. Need them relatively inexpensive and quite a few of them. Any ideas besides local scrapbook store? They are pretty pricey there. Tx, Trudi

Thank you! Now i can get to my lotion/shower sets tomorrow. Trudi

Is it ok to heat up lotion base a little to make it easier to pour into bottles? Trudi

There's a difference in the pouring spout on Pyrex vs. Anchor Hocking brands. I have trouble with the Anchor Hocking so only use Pyrex. I have 4 4cup, 3 2cup and 1 1cup in my stash! Trudi

Those same people will notice that in every store it is teh same. Smaller sizes have the same basic costs as a larger size. Silly people...I think your pricing is perfect. It's great for someone with less income to pick up an inexpensive somethig and someone else (lucky people ) pick up a bunch. Trudi

some neat stuff! Who knew we could get so fancy with our EZups? Now if only I could afford some xtras. Trudi

Figure the FO% on the total of your end product. For your application: base and water. Trudi

Pumpkin Smores ??

I bought some ABS, rebatched it in mold to cut into teh size bars I wanted. Wrapped them with 1 1/2" strips of safari type scrapbook paper. Turned out really cute! Trudi

Candle Kitchen's products are top notch. Martha has been making great quality products for over 10 years. Starting with for her own use. When I made pie candles I used hers. Trudi

My old business 2000-2004 was White Gables Scents. The house I grew up in when it was built circa mid 1800's was the largest house in the area. Everyone in the surrounding counties new it as White Gables. I was living back with my parents at the time I started my business, hence the name. byw...my dad tried to tell me that he was owed royalties. :rolleyes2 My name is Trudi. I needed a name to put on my new tax license when I was selling for a direct sales company. The company sold natural products. So I came up with NaturallyTru. I am just starting back in bath & body and candles and can use it for that. It also is a little vague so I can really add whatever products I wish I think. I think each product line will have a separate name also. Like my maybe my B&B will be Sweet Sugar by NaturallyTru. ? Don't know yet...taking it slow.

Aha! Makes complete sense...duh! Thanks so much! Trudi

Does mica need to be diluted in something before being added to lotion base? Trudi

This probably doesn't help you; but I ordered from them frequently when I made gel candles...back in 2000 - 2001. Trudi

That's so funny! My dog ate a whole box of brand name votives about 11 years ago...and 2 chocolate oranges same day..never phased him a bit. Lucky dog he is. He electracuted himself a year before the eating incident and jumped out of the car at 55 mph at age 9. He's 13 now...little arthritis and bad teeth but still going strong (aka bull headed). Trudi

I'd explain to her that candle making requires lots of research and trial and error. That there is a formula invloved and safety rules that need to be adhered to. Then offer to teach her how to make them...for $50-75 PLUS supplies (going rate I see online). Chances are she'll balk at that price...she is trying to make them herself because she wants them cheaper than buying them. Trudi

Thanks. That's the amount I ended up putting in my recipe. Web info on FOs I came up with anywhere from 3% to 19%!! So it had me wondering. Trudi

What's wrong with EarthScents? Earth Scents Bath

How much vitamin E do you put in your sugar cube scrubs? Is there a point where it is over kill and just wasting money? When I look up usage amount...it is a lot. How much do I really need? Also how much fragrance? I have same problem with my batch. I cut it in half and it was still overpowering. My batch is 36 ounces total. Thanks

Southern Scentsations "Vanilla Pumpkin" They have a new one called "Pumpkin Creme Brulee" Rustic Escentuals "Gingerbread Pumpkin"
