I have had good luck with Peak's and Candlescience.

Okay, I asked and Peak's tech support said they mix soy and paraffin all the time. They were pretty surprised that anyone from their company would say that. YAY!

Can any of you that have it, email a copy to me also? shewill5@cox.net TIA!!!

I need help adding a shopping cart to mine......it's making me crazy. I'm using tucows for everything and they are great but I only paid $36 for the year plus $3 a month for the enhanced shopping cart thing. I think it would be worth it to pay someone else to do it. Right now, my site just works as an online catalog and orders are generated by word of mouth but I want to be able to promote my site on facebook ect WITH shopping cart. Great thread. Thanks!

Peaks is my absolute favorite for FO's because everything I've tried has been great. These are what my customers like the best: Pink Sugar Pomegranate Downy French Vanilla Amish Harvest Love Spell That's what I can think of off the top of my head but it's my go to place for most FO's and I'm placing an order today so this thread is great for more ideas. One more thing, their customer service rocks! I love that chat thingy they have

Cricut has a blade available that cuts thick stuff like leather. Iffen you have one or want to buy one. Also, there is a company where I live that might do it for you, they have the big die cut machine and lots of die cuts but you would have to call to see. It is B-Line Design in Mustang, OK and ask for Beverly or Bob.

Interesting.....a guarantee! I've never used them but oh the money felt like it was running through my fingers when trying to find my fave fo suppliers. How is their pricing in comparison? Following this thread... Edit* I just checked out their site and they do have a money back guarantee on their FO's. The pricing is comparable to other sites AND they have a customer rewards program. If you spend $500 a year then you are in tier 4 pricing and get 15% off your orders. Think I'm gonna try a small order.

Quickbooks is a huge pain to set up but so helpful once you go to file taxes and balance your books....so worth it! Not sure which version you are using but the last one I used(2007 PRO) had a whole seperate area for purchases vs bank deposits and it subtracted amounts from the total once I checked off that it had ran through the bank.

I think everyone at this point is used to swiping a time or two or 5 to get it to read since most big businesses force us to swipe our own cards now. A Wal-mart cashier even told me that she keeps a plastic bag handy because their machines don't read the cards sometimes and has them wrap the bag around the card prior to swiping. This is a good perspective though....maybe let the customer swipe their own card and hope the phone isn't damaged? Thank goodness most people use cash at craft shows.

Will do. They are shut down until the 2nd, or 3rd and I am officially too except family gifts :yay:Honestly, I'm keeping my recipe unless they come up with a really excellent reason to not mix. Maybe it was new a new employee that said that?

My experiences have been in line with Raven's as far as waxes. I use mainly Peak's and CS for supplies so hopefully you will have great luck with them as well. I'm calling Peak's about their comments on wax mixing when I place my next order....doesn't make sense to me?!?!?

I'm in. Maybe have a design contest? I wouldn't want something that looks like Scentsy's. There probably is a fee for the initial design.

It smells grapefruity with touch of perfume to me. People seemed to like it but not enough to buy Hoping it will do a little better after the holidays.

CS Grapefruit Mangosteen Peak's Orange Mango Salsa Peak's Paris Twilight (very grapefruity to me)

I would love to find that also. My Nana(super classy chic) wore it everyday and the whole entire family still associates the smell with her. That would make such a great suprise gift to them for the holidays next year!
