  1. I tried the 4627/4625 combo, but it just did not yield the results I was looking for. I know some that have used it very successfully, with beautiful results. It just didn't work great for me. I do not have any experience with soy myself, but many have said that soy adds depth to bakery scents. I am not sure if soy would add the longevity that you are after, but it certainly wouldn't hurt to test it out. Good luck,

  2. I would definitely go with the first three you mentioned. The crackling firewood sounds great (to me personally) but some folks are not fans of the smoky quality and it may turn them off. I would test it with and without just to ensure the smokiness doesn't overpower. Sounds yummy!

  3. What about a simple 1-2 inch band of burlap around the center of the jar, or maybe a piece of lace, or maybe both (a thick band of burlap with a thinner band of lace)? Or maybe a rusted primitive heart tied on a piece of jute around the neck? If you have not done so already, Pinterest can provide you with thousands of ideas. Just input your search of "mason jar ideas", mason jar candles", or shabby chic mason jar, etc. Grab some snacks and a drink because you might be on there awhile :)

  4. Mine is all over the place and it is a pain. I pour on my kitchen island, which requires pulling out the plastic coated tablecloth (for protection), lugging out the big ol heavy turkey fryer and setting everything up. I print labels, store product and put packages together in my office/guest room, and my oils are kept in a large armoire in my great room. But, my hubby will be working on building a custom shelving unit for me so that I can keep all of my finished product in containers on shelves for easy access. Can't wait..... Once that is done I should be able to rearrange a bit to try and get more of my process into one area.

  5. Moonshine, that is a much better description of Cracklin Birch that I could have ever given. As soon as I detect any type of patchouli notes (which personally makes my stomach turn), I get as far away as possible and although that is not the only note in this oil, that is ALL that I notice. Those that are patchouli fans would most likely love this oil. And it is strong to boot!

  6. I was just going to say the same thing about Cracklin Birch. I know you mentioned that most scents listed were from AH/RE however if Cracklin Birch is from NG, I do not find that to be a spicy/cinnamon scent at all. I would put it in the category of very earthy. I personally do not care for it, but then I am not a big fan of the earthy (what I consider to be incense type) scents, however many on this board love Cracklin Birch. I do not know if AH/RE carries their own version of Cracklin Birch.

  7. It is time to turn on the turkey fryer and get some more wax melts (scent shots) made. I have been very lazy this past week and didn't make any at all (it was a much needed break), but I am getting low on many of my ready to ship scent shots, so that is my plan this morning. Kind of sounds like my typical weekend these days.  

  8. Thanks Belinda. I am not really looking for anything specific, other than maybe trying new oils that I have never tried. I will check out their website again, but the more I think about it, the more I am inclined to pass on this one because the prices are a bit higher. I guess if I don't order any, I won't know what I am missing, which is just as well. LOL.  

  9. I have never ordered from Daystar before but it looks like they have a pretty decent sized selection. Their prices do seem a bit higher than what I usually pay. Are they worth paying the extra? If so, are there any must haves?
