Oh my, I will keep your sister in my prayers. Please keep me posted. In a private message if you would prefer. If you or your sister need to call me, I will not mind giving you my phone number as well. Dealing with chronic back pain is not fun and can lead to a road of very deep depression, as with I'm sure anyone with any type of disability and pain issues. Again, please keep me posted and I'm here if you need me. Thank you for your support and inspiration!

You're wonderful!! Thank you so much Pam! I will keep you in mind if my sister needs someone to talk to. You are so kind to offer to talk with her. Thank you again.  My sister was told today that she has arthritis in her spine along with the scoliosis and they want to do medial branch block injections for the pain. She seen the PA today at the office and he

just offered the injections. He said that as things progressed such as pain running down her legs, they will look at surgery.  Being in the medical field...I want a second opinion for her, so we shall be working on that tomorrow. We will take this one day at a time.

Can't wait to see your creations Pam! Moving forward and creating is a GOOD thing for all of us and it's what keeps us going. Have a blessed day! 

Hi Pam!! Welcome to the group!  We are so glad you are here and want to encourage you to let your creation vibes run wild along with ours!  

About 1 month ago I found out my 54 year old sister is dealing with scoliosis. I have seen her xrays and films and I think she is going to have a rough road ahead of her. She hid this for a long time and worked until she just can't anymore. A shock to us all. She is going to see her Dr tomorrow to get her MRI results and we will learn of her prognosis, what options are available to her if any, what surgery is available if any.....very scary stuff. She has also recently filed for disability and was told she would definitely get it. So, I am encouraged by your determination to keep doing, keep moving, keep creating. I wish this for my sister also.

Wishing you always the very best and I am looking forward to your contributions on this site.   

Harvest

Pumpkin Cheesecake

Pucker Up

Spiced Cranberry

Totally agree with Moonshine - Tomato Leaf - Smells exactly like you rubbed a tomato plant leaf...LOVE!

They have some real winners.

I have only 3 recipes...love them to pieces and like everyone else tinkers, tinkers, tinkers with ingredients...just nothing BETTER than homemade soap!  

Isn't the VBN wonderful? I made up some lotions this week and gave my sister one with the VBN from WSP....she said this smells exactly like Bath & Body Works! She was absolutely tickled and elated ...she found out that I had one extra VBN lotion and she took that too!  

So tickled to hear you guys like the Frasier Fir also! I poured mine today....smells sooooooo good and awesome!

I got the Frosted Cranberry also...I am thinking of blending it with Spiced Cranberry from BCN....that should rock it!  

I purchased their Dune Grass too....I am in LOVE with this scent from WSP! 

Thanks for the reviews everyone! Love to hear!

This might be right up Belinda's alley. 

 

I'm in search of good crunch scents to try. 

Once upon a time we had some potpourri scented pumpkin crunch (absolutely to die for so I'd gladly take pumpkin suggestions, because we've not landed on one that remotely makes us want to eat wax) and we had another named apple crunch. 

The crunch is the sweet, slightly nutty (definitely foodie in origin) ... surely it's not impossible to find? Anyone? 

Hi Scented!

I love the Buttercream Crunch from Cajun's. It is a great blender and adds a wonderful buttery richness.....to vanillas, cake batter, chocolate, marshmallow, pear scents, ...good stuff it is.  

Hi Ken and a warm welcome to you!! Thanks for your service to our country and keeping us safe! We very much appreciate you and all others who are serving and have served! We are glad you are here!

Oh yes please Moonstar on the frosted cranberry put up your review.

By the way I ordered the frosted cranberry from them because you did....lol

Also I ordered VBN, Frasier Fir and even Limoncello which is a new one.  I do my own Limoncello as it is a big seller and have never smelled any from any vendor so I'm trying this one from them.

 

Trappeur

 

OHHHHHH....you go girl Trappeur!! Can't wait to hear what you think.

Your welcome Puma......

 

I have to place an order with Fillmore and thought I missed the boat by not ordering Daffodil which everyone just raves about.  So I thought now that fall and Christmas is upon us, I'll have to wait till next spring to order but I just love how you named it Christmas Paperwhites and I'm ordering it now.  I love love that name!  Do you care if I name mine the same?  We are far enough away from each other and don't think it would be a problem.  Thought I would ask.  I'm also going to get Nutmeg Ginger too because of the reviews.

 

Trappeur

 

So you've not tried it before....OHHHHH ....it is beautiful and delicate just like the flowers, but it is a wonderful floral to offer at this time of year. Hey as far as the names...hey if I throw my name of a scent out there..anyone that likes it and wants to use it...I say go for it !!

GREAT thread Trappeur!

Hmmm...several you have mentioned and if I repeat..well that means that scent is just popular and perhaps needs a second look by people who have never tried them...

 If any of you make soap, WSP's Frasier Fir is terrific in soap @ .75 oz ppo...smells exactly like Thyme's soap...no A or D and no drama soaping.

 

And don't forget the room spray! Essentials by Catalina has professional cologne base that doubles as a body spray or air freshener.

Another awesome way to use this fragrance! Thanks Heartsong! These others guys that just ordered.....they are going to love this Frasier Fir aren't they?

Hey Puma .... Im on it lol ! thanks so very much for letting us know . Now off to place my order !! 

8 hours ago, Trappeur said:

Ok Puma now you did it!  I can't stand listening to WSP Frasier Fir that everyone loves.  I've really never ordered from Wholesale supplies except for the crackling firewood but I'm doing it now!  Just what I need another supplier.  And the other thing I'm getting is their VBN and nothing else!  i think..... I don't want to hear what else is good from them too!....Well, maybe if you want to tell what else is good, I could just read about....ya know? lol

 

Trappeur

Can't wait to hear what you all think! It was just exciting to hold the bottle in my hand even before twisting the lid off...but it is just wonderful...I think a lot of people will be so happy with this fragrance. I expect a lot of oohhhhhs and ahhhhhhs on this one.

Puma and Moonstar- Ok I need to know as well if WSP Is better than CS

I order from places a lot and never tried Fraser fir

also is there enough difference between either from Fillmore Christmas Tree?

I have to place an order with WSP in the next couple of days.....frosted cranberry I never tried this either....how would you describe this 

Place your order from WSP Moonshine...AWESOME Fraser Fir! I had never tried Fraser Fir either before.  The Fillmore Christmas Tree IS a different scent and you would want to carry that too...I am..that is for sure.

Puma how does it compare to CS frasier fir - that is of course if you have that one. Im waiting for WSP Frosted Cranberry to be back in stock

which should be by tomorrow before checking out. I have their Frasier Fir - VBN - Lemon Drop Cookies - Crackling Firewood ( thanks Trapper)

Gingerbread - Vanilla Buttercream - Vanilla Hazelnut - Peppermint Cream _ Warm Vanilla Sugar + Spiced Cranberry 

 Will you use it in your famous wax chunks or candles ? 

Hey Moonstar, I have never tried the CS Fraser Fir....I probably won't at this point. I went with the opinion of Beaches (THANKS BEACHES!)  and the others who posted their opinion of WSP Fraser Fir and just went with it and ordered a 16 oz bottle.... I'm not sorry I did. It is so clean, so fresh, absolutely NO type of cleaner smell in this.....just perfect. I don't think I will even do a blend with this scent..it is that good! But I was tweaking the idea of blending with just a titch of WSP Dirt and call it Appalachian Trail. Oh , this scent is glorious! I also have the Fillmore Christmas Tree...love it and IT IS a different scent (Thanks Trappeur and Beaches for the education) and I do a 5 scent blend with it of all evergreen type scents such as Mistletoe, Bayberry, Cedar, etc such as what a live wreath would have in it.  Thanks Trappeur for starting this thread...what awesome discoveries we can find with these that people start. 

I just love these labels...no matter what shape they are....but for me I really like #1 Trappeur.  To me with the words in diffferent areas my eyes roam around on the whole label and the star and moon really seem to stick out on this one. Did I say that I love your labels?

Golly gee...I'm sorry you didn't like Christmas Memories, but that is what makes it so interesting and fun around here...we all have different waxes and sniffers and customer likes and dislikes...if we all were alike ....well, it would be a pretty boring world. But I am so happy that you tried the Christmas Memories and that you love the Spiced Orange which is also a very popular scent.

It looks like your account is going with some really nice scents that will be a joy to make...dontcha just LOVE that??!! Huge congratulations on having such a great account and keeping yourself very busy with orders girl! Yea!!

I got my WSP Frasier Fir today and let me tell you...I unscrewed the lid with great excitement ...held my breath..lifted the lid and sniffed ......IMMEDIATELY I was taken back to my childhood to when my Dad was bringing the Christmas tree into the house....THAT scent...I will never forget......all I can say is WOW, WONDERFUL, AWESOME and I'M GONNA SELL A LOT OF THIS!

I love the first jar Trappeur and I agree....our suppliers should be out there looking for all those "different" jars etc that would make our products stand out...but I guess they have to buy so much at a time of everything that it is not cost effective. But wouldn't it be so nice!

So i have a very small booth @ an antique/ Vintage shop. I really dont need to carry a lot of inventory ( although this will be my first Holiday season selling and i actually am impressed with the constancy of my sales over the summer so i dont want to run out either, i'll probably be constantly making candles every weekend). There are so many scents!!! Of course fall is my favorite. 

I already have candles poured for CS- Blue Spruce , CS- Apples and Maple Bourbon, CS- Pumpkin souflee , and CS- Apple Harvest.  I have fear of missing out with all of the different fall scents that are available. How many do you guys tend to carry at one time for the seasonal scents?

any good suggestions/ tried and true sellers? I was thinking of doing an order from RE. 

I was thinking of Rustic Lodge, and a Pumpkin one - Im not convinced about the CS-Pumpkin Souflee - it smells alot like my cinnamon vanilla i poured (i like the sound of pumpkin cheese cake or pumpkin creme brulee )

any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. 

You have some awesome scents Siren12. For ALL of the years I have been in business since 2000...at Christmas time...my all time best-seller has ALWAYS been Christmas Memories from Cajun Candles...just a delightful Christmas time scent! If you decide to purchase from them.....put a big ole bottle of their Spiced Orange and their Cinnamon (other great sellers)  in your cart too! Awesome...awesome!

When I fill my candle jars up a little too full, I trim the wick to 1/4" and bend it over...then screw the lid on. 

Hi Bramble!! Welcome!!

We feel your excitement Natasha!! Glad you are here!

Welcome Kepoore!! We are so glad you are here!

Glad you are back Pam! Welcome!

I have seen many posts on  4786.  Being completely new to candle making can some of you weigh in as to what makes this wax so good?   What kind of wax it is?  Any information would be helpful.  Thanks for helping out the newbies.   I don't sell candles nor do I plan to but I would love to perfect the art for myself and my friends and family.   Happy Monday 

First and foremost....it plays nice with ALL my scents....throws absolutely beautifully.....I have been told countless times that my candles smell better than any other candles they have burned.....better than Yankee, Virginia, etc. So creamy and looks so pretty in my jars. Been using this wax ONLY for containers since I began in 2000. LOVE the stuff!!
