  1. Hello Carrylh,

    Where are you? How are you? Haven't heard from you in months. Are you living in Louisiana? Are you making candles?

    I have really been busy with candles. I have started on soap. I am making body butter and lotion. I even make my own fabric softener. I want to make everything that smells good. The only problem I'm having is I'm not making any money yet. Almost there but not quite.

    Well, let me know what's going on in your life.

    Cynthia

  2. I purchased the Caprabella Goat Milk Cream for Hand and Body Kit. Thereafter I purchased most of the ingredients in the kit from LotionCrafter and have made several batches. I am very pleased with this recipe. I must add that this is the only lotion recipe I have ever tried so I have nothing to compare it to other than store bought lotion.
  3. I recently purchased the HP LaserJet Pro 200 and very pleased with it. I think HP has a sale on them, something like $100 off.
  4. Welcome! Your candles look really good - the colors are pretty, wicks are centered, labels are nice. I see you are using the new Christmas green.
  5. If someone just asks the name of your supplier, I don't see the big deal in giving out the name of a supplier. Asking for your recipe is a different story. But as someone said above, you probably could give them the recipe and they wouldn't achieve the same results. Why are these people asking for suppliers and recipes?
  6. If I don't have anything positive or kind to say I keep it to myself, as it reflects my character. If I am unsure about a given subject matter I definitely keep that to myself, as it reflects my intelligence. Now, Pam W, you can respond in any fashion you choose to, but I am done with this matter. Have at it.
  7. Thank you all for looking at my pics upside down and sideways and backwards. The next time I will attach better pics. I appreciate the compliments. Oh, almost forgot, all of the blinged candles are sold. ChandlerWicks, how ya doing?
  8. First of all, the glitter is on the outside of the containers. Secondly, glitter doesn't clog wicks, especially the amount used on these containers. Thirdly, my family/friends/customers know what wet spots are and they don't see many of them very often on my containers. Lastly, I would strongly encourage you to read this very forum for more information on the effects of glitter on containers.
  9. Thanks, Vicky. A compliment from you means a lot to me.
  10. I misunderstood your question. I thought you were speaking of pillars when you said molds. I agree with Suzy, no glitter on tarts/melts,
  11. You can use Mod Podge. I just posted some containers I blinged up. Is that kind of what you are talking about?
  12. These containers contained terrible wet spots. After much deliberation I decided to put glitter on them to sort of hide the wet spots. These are the 21oz, 12oz and 8oz metro/status containers. One picture shows the finished containers in bags with bows. These are not very good pictures. First time blinging containers and first time posting pictures.
  13. Apply your glue directly on the object you want the glitter on. Put your glue directly on the area you want your glitter. You can put the glue and then the glitter directly on the wax. Why would you put glitter in your mold first? What kind of glue are you using?
  14. Congratulations. Wishing you tons of success!
  15. Wow! You put a lot of work into these and they are really pretty.
  16. The cost of the FO plus shipping and then the average of those two factors. I have cut back a lot on the usage of FO and trying to cut back even more. I am trying to follow Candybee's suggestion and the suggestion of others who say that if a FO doesn't scent to my standards at 1 oz per pound, then move on to another fragrance because there are sooooo many to choose from.
  17. It is a nice fall/winter color. I think it looks good. You're a neat soaper it appears LOL.
  18. Norton. Not a computer expert though. I haven't had a crash nor a virus since using Norton for the past seven or eight years.
  19. I haven't found anything that will keep my wicks straight unless I manually adjust and maneuver the wick somewhat after pouring. I have found that no matter how centered my wick is and regardless of what device I use, I have to inspect my wick and adjust as necessary to ensure a perfectly centered wick.
  20. Very pretty! Post some pics after you cut it.
  21. Why don't you place an ad on this forum. Perhaps some members have supplies they no longer want or need and everyone can use a few extra bucks around this time of year or any time of year for that matter LOL. Make a list - and be specific - as to exactly which products you are in search of. Keep in mind that posting on this forum is also free. Buying from this forum will save you taxes compared to purchasing locally and purchasing from this forum, in all likelihood, should save you shipping costs. Go for it! You never know who has what items they no longer need or want. Who knows, I may even have some items. Just an overly broad category of B&B isn't very helpful and probably won't yield any results.
  22. If you are making clamshells and you want them to pop out, you will need to add stearic acid and/or another wax. If you're using paraffin wax, either 4794 or 4626 blends well with 4786 for a firm melt. With soy I have tried 415 or 464 or Xcel and they each work equally as well.
