I use www.DIYESTORES.com Look down a few threads for topic websites..lots of good info there!

I bought my graphics and did it all myself. I think I paid $50 for my graphics and $20 a month for my site.

I use DIY too! Beckie referred me about 1.5 years ago. I thought it was super easy! I had done a previous freebie site, so this one was a piece of cake for me. It has worked wonders for my site..in just over a year I went from 500 annual hits(no advertising) to I think the counter on my site since October 2004 is at almost 13000..still with no advertising other than primmart! Shameless plug... I wouldnt mind a referral too! LMAO:laugh2: Beckie has 1/2 a year free by now lol Feel free to check it out www.SoyMagicCandles.com

I love my 6006! I use cotton core wicks. I use the 6oz Hex jars and the 16oz apothecaries. I use the same wick(just two in the 16oz). I get great hot throw with this wax. No cure time necessary..although the cold throw gets amazing with about 2 weeks cure time. Hot throw immediately. I do not heat my jars, but find if I put them back into the box after pouring it elevates the need to repour..just a little once over with the heat gun and its good to go! The tins and 16oz rarely need repours..I only need repours on the hex because I pour into the neck just a tad..I think they look empty if I dont! I pour at 160-165 and add FO right before the pour too! Good luck!

We are contemplating a new mold..we either want the Kelsei mold with the dividers or the upland mold with the liner.. I would like to hear pros and cons of each TIA Monica

WHite Marble!! Looks Great!

I sell the heck out of Euc-Spearmint in both candles and B&B..more in candles. I have tried mixing my own, but this scent doesnt have the "mediciney" scent of regular eucalyptus. I bought a sample from ICS..not even close I just got tonys today and it is close..just not as strong..I think I can make this one work hopefully..I am gonna go get it in wax and see! I did get a sample of NG buttermilk pancakes..its very nice I like it, but I never tried BNL so I cant give a comparison.

I made mine with a white glossy lid on the top and I think it looks classic..especially if you go with more color in the chunks and candles. They show off color especially well and are very pretty when burning! I have used the craft labels on these jars too and they look fine, but I prefer the white or you could even get the newer buff colored ones! Good luck deciding!

Hey Beckie! I like the jar..but it still looks country to me...since I "think" you are talking about buying at Mid Con..how about their Victorian Jar? I got a case to try(a wholesale customer request for a "squarish" jar last time I ordered...I love em..very pretty..elegant and you could still label just the lid!

My newest additions are NG Downy water Lily & Jasmine NG DOwny Morning GLory & Honeysuckle NG Island Fresh(Gain)

It was a trade show(our first) We made our money back with several wholesale leads..several home party and online party signups so we shall see if it was successful..but let me tell ya..this was a fun show!! The Ambucs put it on..they had a VIP room for vendors that was stocked all 3 days with FOOD, Drinks and Beer:shocked2: On Saturday night they had a party that was catered by a wonderful local Italian restaraunt with an open bar. We didnt spend a thing on food or drinks all weekend...really kept expenses down and it was FUN

Cucumber Melon..Natures Garden is a close one Sweet Pea Peaks now if only I could find a Cupid and Euc Spearmint Dupe :embarasse I have quite a bit of Cupid left so hopefully someone buys it soon..but I am OUT of E-S...I have bought 3 samples so far...the first two were not even close..lets hope Tonys will do it. I also love her Oatmeal Milk & Honey. Sigh Natures Garden just added a buttermilk pancakes...I have a sample coming maybe it will be close.

Yes they are..the bigger pic you could see much better..but not when I reduce it

Here was our small display at a local trade show

I need a BNL replacement too! It is one of my top 3 best sellers

I cant live without Cupid and Eucalyptus Spearmint!!! (

First time customer maybe?? 3 month wait for 10 samples?? All of which I liked but I am a last minute buyer and cant wait months! <sigh>

I like Country Gift Shop thanks for all the great suggestions!!

Does anyone have any good suggestions for a rename of Peaks Home for the Holidays?? I am coming up blank..I have several of this scent left from Christmas and I thought I would try a new name..but Ive got NOTHING Please help:p

LMAO..and I only live an hour away and it took 3 months..for samples But the snicker bar was nice

I use paypal. It has been free since last June..but starting next month(well tomorrow) they start charging me $20. I make more than enough to justify it. I love it because it goes directly to my paypal account which can be accessed immediately with my paypal debit card..no waiting..transferring ect. With paypal you need Name Address with zip code CVV code It is super easy! I bought my imprinter on ebay for a total of around $30 for machine, 200 slips and imprinter plate and MC/Visa signs shipping was about $7.50. It works great and is light weight. HTH

Hmm let me see the mostly purple one is Vineyard(yummy) at top the dark pink one is Cranberry Frost(spiced cranberry with a splash of jack frost) The lighter pink/white one is Grapefruit Peppermint the green swirl is Citrus N Sage the brownish one is Vanilla Silk

Here is some of the soaps we have been working on!

well we have a church fundraiser on Sunday so Saturday we are going to set up..they dont allow people outside the church to sell so a lady that works with my sister is going to do all the selling and we are donating 30% of the sales. Trying to get my website back online tomorrow since I screwed it up! Updating the soap and pics. Getting Nate(dh) to start on my new displays We have our first show next weekend

Set it up to just charge sales tax to in state customers. There is no sales tax on shipping.
