What is KYs pink sugar a dupe of? Is it a womans perfume that is already out there?

I'm ready for fall and working on Christmas!! Yeah! Not going to be behind the ball this year!

I have seen someone using a matte black (or REALLY dark brown) plastic spray bottles for room and linen sprays at a craft fair. I have been looking all over for them, but haven't found them yet ... do any of you know where they are coming from?ber I have been using a glass amber boston round, but these bottles were very classy looking, I would really like to find the supplier. Thanks! Aubrey

I might change my mind, but 150.00 is more than I wanted to spend.

I would like to buy a new digital scale for shipping boxes ... 50 lbs at least, anyone have a favorite?

I am looking for pumpkin pie filling from ics ... 4-8 oz ... anyone have some they want to sell? Should this be in classifieds? Does anyone have a replacement suggestion?

I am ordering fall oils ... ICS doesn't have pumpkin pie filling anymore!! or at least i can't find it. Does anyone have suggestions for a substitute or have any they want to sell? I use it in my mixers for fall!

It looks like WSP crafters choice room & linen spray has changed since I last ordered? I got a gallon for 65.00 and now a gallon is 122.00 ... and the directions are different. When I ordered it said to mix their base with FO up to 50% ... and nothing else The new stuff has you adding water and FO ... anyone used the new stuff? If you don't like it, what is your new favorite?

Do the fliptop lids from peaks fit the big 16 oz glass bottles that FO comes in? I keep these lids and use them on all my 16 oz plastic bottles, but I was thinking they didn't fit the glass ones, I should go check.

Yes, Galse at dps wax ... I have driven there too ... over 400 miles ... around 5 hour trip! (one way!!)

I don't know your style, but I get mine from Irvins Country Tinware ... american made! at candlewarmers.com Is the 13.99 a wholesale price?? you don't have to create an account to see wholesale prices???

I've been driving to dupo, IL to get wax ... a little over 100 miles, Is there a supplier closer to me? Mt. Vernon IL ...

anyone bought a case of 4630 recently? who has the best price+shipping right now? Is the the wrong place to post this?

Okay, i'm going to try the kd8000 ... i'll buy an adapter later if it eats batteries! Thanks so much for input!

I have been using my weight watchers scale! Is that really bad? I use a postal scale to mail my packages out ... I didn't realize that .1 resolution in oz wasn't enough ... and I pour all my wax and fo in oz, but i will be switching to grams for accuracy ... i had a batch come out last week all out of wack before i realized my scale was mal functioning ... is My Weight the brand name of the scales at old will knots place? if i want to look for them on amazon? I just peeked at americanweigh.com ... little overwhelming ... have to look closer longer

Have any of you used this scale? It comes with a gunk shield My Weigh KD7000 - Silver http://www.oldwillknottscales.com/my-weigh-kd7000-silver.aspx Has hold, tare, and turn off auto off, 1 gram resolution Only goes to 15 lbs, but that is enough for my batches, the other one would also do my big shipping though!!

Thanks for the responses! I think I like to looks of the ultra scale! The escali 'tray' looks a little too small, I think my bowl base might be bigger than it ... Do you have the stainlesss steel tray accessory? If you do, is it like a tray with sides that go up, or more like a cover that turns down to cover the plastic? My scale had tare, hold and turn off auto off too ... looking perfect! Is the ultra scale a battery hog? I have had my scale for 9 years, and I don't remember ever changing the batteries ... I'm sure I did, it just means its not often! With a new scale, I might take some measure to keep it clean! Is it really accurate for the small stuff since it goes to 55 lbs? It says accuracy in 2 grams ...

My scale has gone on the fritz, going to be buying a new one very soon ... anyone have a scale they really like?

I third the cranberry orange spice and vanilla frosted grahms! Pumpkin pie filling (for a mixer too)! I am testing holiday homecoming, holiday cookie, and gourmet sugar cookie right now ...

anyone feel like selling me a sample of peaks cinnamon balsam ... maybe another great pine scent ... I don't have an order for peaks right now and that 12.00 shipping is a killer on a few samples!

I like the names ... I'll look up angle amaretto too...

I poured peaks winter wonderland too, it didn't make my second chance list ... i thought it was too 'perfumy' ( i don't mean not a nice scent, just not for my line) I have cranberry marmalade cs, and vanilla voodoo cinnamon balsam sounds gross, but i'll get a sample and try it! it must not be too bad ... I'll have to try some of these out! Running out of time though!!

I would like to rename amaretto nog from CS ... any suggestions? Holiday cheer Holiday NOg Egg Nog someone more creative? Also, was thinking about using the name Nutcracker for one of my christmas scents, ... do you think that will come off as obscene?

I am thinking I should add a pine type of scent this year for xmas ... I personally don't like the pine scents so I am having a little trouble sorting through them ... maybe a blend of something and pine ... any suggestions? I have in wax right now to test CS mistletoe CS christmas hearth Peaks home for the holidays AH/RE mittens and mistletoe I thought I liked the home for holidays the most ... but my lady friends who do testers for me both gave it a thumbs down (come to think of it they gave all 4 of them a thumbs down!!) ... CS mistletoe smells simple and subtle ... Last year I tried santas whiskers from KY and I forget now ... and NG christmas cabin ... Any suggestions as to where to go with a first pine scent? maybe a blend that is not straight pine?

i think it really depends on your wax (and taste) what oils work for you! I have smelled so many oils that I LOVED and REALLY wanted to work, but they just didn't work with my combination and I had to move on ... Candybee is right sweat n creamy is a KY oil, the Sugar cookie by snc is the one i used I love being able to get more and more of my oils at the same supplier (shipping is a killer on cost) ... I hate to see any business close though
