  1. The glassine wrap makes it very classy! Steph
  2. Good luck! I have been debating on what to do, too. I haven't made that much at it the past two years. I am going to take a break until the new year and see how things look until then. Steph
  3. Those are super cute. I like the stockings and gingerbread houses the best! Steph
  4. That is so pretty and festive! I am not sure how I missed this post! Steph
  5. I might come close to breaking even, but not sure. Things have been slow, but I did start doing home parties, which helped a bit. After my small overhead, I still might not break even, been at it for 2 years since July. Steph
  6. I tried both and am still having trouble getting rid of clamshells at half price ($1.50)! My melts sell for $1.25 or 5 for $5. Steph
  7. I had that happen to a batch and I ended up tossing it after trying to rebatch because it just wasn't turning out right. Live and learn! STeph
  8. I believe our one local hardwarestore can order them in.
  9. If buying a smaller candle, I would go with votives, that way you can reuse the holder. I do recycle glass, but hate cleaning out container candles! Steph
  10. Our stores (not a lot in our small town) were very low on stock for everything canning when I looked about a month ago. Even walmart had nothing. The city about 35 minutes away had quart jars at only one store. YOu are in OH, so WSP should be able to get them to ya in a day or two. Steph
  11. I find, sometimes, that the Root lye I got from the local hardware store causes me problems and the lye from a Co-op this past winter doesn't give me as many problems. Do you mix your lye mixture really well when adding to the oils? Do you stir or stick blend? Steph
  12. That looks really cool! Sorry the fairies visited you. Steph
  13. Check any craft store in the scrapbooking aisle, as they have different sizes and reaches of them. Steph
  14. Their new Sugar Plum Fairy and Spiced cranberry are good, too. the Cinnamon Bun is super strong! Steph
  15. It is a great scent, but I think people will either love or hate it. I renamed it Sweet and Sassy when I sold it. I don't sell it at the current time, but am hoping to add it back in the spring. I love all of their scents. What others are you ordering? Steph
  16. Now that I think it it, it has only happened once, that was 2 years ago when I first started soaping. I will be shipping the soap to her as soon as it is firm enough to ship, and she is going to cut them herself. I have seen many soapers sell whole logs that way.
  17. I just got a wholesale account for seasonal soaps, starting this coming valentine's day. She wants full logs. Occasionally I have a problem with lye pockets, so what if a log doesn't turn out right and she can't use it? How can I make sure it will be safe to sell? Steph
  18. A friend from another site also had that happen with DIY Estores. I hope you can get it fixed soon. Steph
