  1. I think it's very adorable. I love glitter but I think I would nix it from the paper because it's going to get everywheres - and depending on the amount of handling - on everyone
  2. TKB im in <3 glad I left my credit card at home
  3. They do look very nice and I agree with wwjacks the tins are certaintly a beautiful colour
  4. I just had the thought of posting how many tea lights can be made in an hour Guess in all fairness it would be as variable as the candles themselves
  5. Unless I need to complete a ton of candles, I pour approx. less then 24 candles in a day - after that I am good If I have to do more I like to wick them on a different day and have them all ready to go - it is really nice that way I pour on my days off, under pressure or when I am inspired
  6. Roteck.com their rectangular candle lables are the perfect fit for my clamshells
  7. I can understand wanting to try to thin out the scents that you offer. I have certaintly become a scent-a-holic I would try to eliminate them by similar fragrances- I am guessing that Relaxing scent is similar to Lavender as Lavender is condusive to sleep and relaxation..for example. Pick which one is a better seller. Alternativly - For me I use a Dynomo Label machine for putting my scents on my products. It is very inexpensive- 35 dollars for the machine, and like 10 dollars for label refils that can label over 100 products- They have many different tapes to use - including clear and you can custom label things for people and make labels on a dime and only as you need them HTH
  8. Well, not digging around, I went to Roteck.com, they are very reasonable for printing and the such...they offer sheets of 56 circle stickers that are 1 1/8" in diameter and you can add your own background (ie make a graphic thats pink) you have 6 lines of text to achieve what you need to say, which isn't a lot but maybe you can do it Okay I just tried that method - and you would really have to choose your words very carefully to get it to fit
  9. Soy wax does leave ruff looking tops some of the time and you can achieve smoother tops with heat gunning the tops. Some additives can be used to achieve smoother tops USA for example. As for the molted look that you speak of after the candle is put out - this is normal as well and is too be expected from Soy Wax HTH
  10. Oooh that solar charger is really neat! I was going to suggest the Solar lights (they have christmas like ones) but this charger thing is even better
  11. Wow I never knew that they had so many different types of salt *amazed* Salt works even has free ups ground shipping (for a limited time only?) ~*Sarah*~
  12. I understand where you are comming from. I have gotten different instructions for different waxes depending on where I have purchased them from. I have tried it there way and then have stuck to my way - which works for me. What I do is heat the wax up to around 175-180 degrees - take it off the heat add the colour block and fragrance and stir it slow and steady for quite a while- I think sometimes I count to 200 sometimes I just stir until the colour block is fully melted - then I let it sit until it cools until around 110 and pour ... I usually stir right before I pour as well as an fyi and stir occasionally throughout the cooling process - this seems to work well for GB 415, another wax that I used originally and 444 ~*Sarah*~
  13. I have looked and looked and looked as well (I am in Maine) and those are the only two in the area that I have found in new england that readily advertise that they have wax for sale. The Jar Store if I recall didn't have too bad of prices. ~*Sarah*~
