Someone posted on another board that she put smelly jelly crystals in a ziplock back with water and placed them in the freezer. She said they didn't freeze but got really cold and then she placed them in the box before shipping and her candle arrived in Texas without being melted and the crystals were still cold. Might be worth a try.

With Access you can build a good database from scratch. If you have a junior college you can take a class there or try to teach yourself. The only thing you want to be sure of is that you write out a plan of everything you want to include in it before you start building it as it's a pain to add after it's been completed.

That sounds like pure heaven!

Maybe someone already had the candles or received them as a gift.

A light bluish green. That's the color they make the lotion at Bath and Body Works.

I have an HP 3-in-1 and love it. I've been thru two Lexmarks and will never buy another one. They broke within one year of purchase and we didn't use it very often. If you can afford a laser jet buy it. It has a better print quality than an ink jet.

They are beautiful!

Thanks for posting those. I can see why they are a good seller for you. They are very pretty.

I made them a couple of years ago and used a high melt wax that I got on sale at Michael's for dirt cheap. I placed the pinecones in the oven on a low temp to make sure they were dried out, killing any bugs and it also helped them to open up. I dipped in scented and colored wax three times allowing to dry in between layers. The wax sticks better if you dip them at a lower temp and in fact the perfect temp allowed me to use my hands to dip them. They look very pretty dipped but are very time consuming to make. They sold better for me when I wrapped them in cellophane singley tied with Christmas ribbon versuses putting 1/2 dozen together. Oh, I placed a piece of wick left over from my container candles stuck in between the open cone to lite them with.

Congrats! I've never done this type of fundraiser but my first thought was I wonder if people will buy them. I don't want this to come off negative or mean but the only reason I say this is because at my WM, the people that shop there are looking for a bargain and tend to only buy things that are cheaper in price. If you have more middle and upper income families shopping there then I think you will do well.

I tried the 4627 and loved the consistency but the hot throw wasn't good. I used square mason with HTP wicks.

Thanks Krista! It's good to see you over here too! What other type of candles do you make?

Wow, 10,000 pool party pics. You party animal!

That's what my thinking is Rob. I can't wait to see a picture. I hope you get a camera...SOON!

www.creativegemsmolds.com has really good molds. I have three of them and have very happy with them.

Just curious to know why people would use a votive wax versus a wax used for hurricanes? Do you think any wax would work just as long as it has a really high MP?

Teri, I don't see the KY143. Is that the same as the KY Glow Wax?

I'm glad you asked cause I'm lookin to get one too.

Hi. I've been asked to make some electric candles. Does anyone have any experience with these? What kind of wax should be used to make these candles? TIA

Very pretty!

Woohoo, I'm just so happy we are all back together again!
