Well, today, I am working, cleaning, and getting ready for a garage sale that we are having tomorrow. Tomorrow is the city wide garage sale. That will take most of my day. Then, I will work tomorrow evening. Then, on Sunday, David and I are going fishing with the boys, doing a bit of a cookout, just having some fun. Monday, we will probably all be working. I don't think he gets Monday off. Monday, I will probably make my best friend's birthday present. I am trying to think of something totally cute to make her.

Yes, I believe there is a need for this. I can see many advantages to this. Someone to take pictures of your products in a imaginative and beautiful way. I would have fallen all over that. I was never able to take good pictures.

Hell, if I could afford a TRUCK of wax, then I WOULD be set. Not doable!

That is EXACTLY it, right there. That statement says it all regarding their email. I stopped shopping with them LONG ago due to their screwing me over on shipping, time and time again. That, along with things not being shipped, and never telling me that something was out, until the package arrived, and it wasn't in there. If I need something NOW, I can't wait to see when it gets here if you actually had it or not. And I don't always have time to go through the hassle of calling, either, when I am working, and caring for children. C and S has NO right to tell a candle maker what they should be doing, or how they should be doing it. That infuriates me to no end. Maybe ALL I can afford is that bottle of one pound of fragrance oil, or 8 ounces, or whatever. Your idea of how a business should be run is NOT yours to push on me. Grrr.

Yeah, I just about died when I saw that.

WOW! That's a lotta wax!!! I couldn't even begin to store that much, lol

You also would have be very careful about cement poisoning. You can't play around in that stuff, wear good gloves, don't get it all over you and then leave it there.

Cement won't stick to diesel, and it will pull away from wood also. You can use wooden forms on cement. THat looks really cool to me, I wouldn't want to ship it though, but, once you made one, I would think that you could reuse it forever.

Tomorrow is my youngest son's second birthday party. His birthday was Wednesday. So, I will be making the cake and decorating that. I am doing a Nemo cake. Tonight I have an hour and a half meeting for Work, and if I could get over this hideous cold, I would love to make some candles, but David won't let me do anything.

Geez. That sucks.

BCN has done me dirty on shipping also. Trying to charge me UPS price for shipping USPS. I have also had TONS of trouble with C and S shipping.

Congrats Robin!

Is there a good example somewhere of a well written business plan? A site somewhere?

Which does In Kristine's Shower do?

How would I even begin? If I wanted to look into a small business loan, where would I begin? I don't think that our local banks are the way to go. They are notorious for being unhelpful for small business around here. Any sites that I should look into? Is the small business administration helpful to someone as small time as I would be? What kind of info do I need to know before I go there? A particular loan to look for? Any special loans for women? Are there other sites to check out?

I think that they were posted in the classifieds because she is selling them, and someone asked for pics. Same for all the mold pics she has posted.

I get those all the time, or the ones that say, Hey, I paid you for an item, when are you shipping it, etc, etc. It all spoof, and they are getting VERY good at it.

Do you have a problem with your walls and ceilings turning black?

Ahhh, what I call recycled.I gotcha

It is exceptionally creamy. I use J223 also, and it is better than that.

That is a beautiful candle, I think that it is so much better to give to someone than flowers. That would be so special to me.

Contaminated wax? I am confused. Do you mean wax that is recycled? i have never had to do that before, even when using recycled, so I am lost. What do you mean by contaminated?

Prehaps you should learn something before you jump into the frying pan. Were you aware that she had MLM stuff in her siggy? And, on a side note, it annoys the crap out of me, that when someone gets called on doing something, they automatically bring in the "I've had a traumatic event, so I am going to use it to make you look like crap when I did something wrong." Now, don't get me wrong, I am very sorry that you have had traumatic injury, but PLEASE do not use it as an excuse to do something that you shouldn't have been. (The MLM stuff)

I was just about to ask about the sig. :lol

You don't WANT to know what immediately came to my mind when I read this title. *giggle* yes, I AM that immature today.
