That is so cool! Very nice!

I use NG's in my tarts and it's very strong. Great scent. I use a blend of Ecosoya PB and Xcel.

I love the Best Friends too. Soooooo good! That's good to know they are different for you. I haven't put the Pomegranate in wax yet so maybe once it is, it'll smell differently. I bought the Pomegranate because it has glowing reviews on NG's site.

Does anyone have these 2 fragrances? I just got the Pomegranate one and I swear it is the exact same fragrance as Best Friends. Does anyone think so too?

I didn't get that one. I wish I would have. I guess almost everyone at the open house purchased it. Of the new ones I got Tiare Flowers, Raspberry Lemonade and Eucalyptus & Spearmint. I like them all but haven't put them in wax yet.

I use Nature's Garden and it smells amazing. I haven't tried others though.

Yay! They look great! Makes me excited for my open house.

Those are really really nice. I love Pink Sugar!

I think Admin is constantly shutting down reseller shops, like you said, they're a dime a dozen. There's also so many copyrighted items on there.

My monthly bill is high enough to pay for a website for a whole year or more. I am still making a good profit though. I like that a lot of people shop there and I don't have to do the maintenance work.

I may not be able to afford it with this business though. My profit margin will be much smaller.

I do pretty well on Etsy with my hair accessories. I stay away from the forums. I don't like them at all. I used to go to their chat rooms a lot and met a lot of great people there. I just don't have time for that now.

If you only have a few items in your shop, people tend to stay away.

I am debating with the wax melts/tarts to just open a "real website" or stay with Etsy for awhile.

I am testing NG's Morning Glory & Honeysuckle and it is amazing.

Gorgeous! You did a great job with them. Nice colors and they look so smooth.

Oooh that sounds like a really good one. I'm interested in how it turns out. I'm testing Blue Cotton Candy today.

Have you tried Ecosoya Xcel? I don't see many people talking about this one on this board. I'm using it in a blend for my wax melts and I really like it. Great scent throw so far and just a tiny tiny hint of frosting. I'm not using wicks though, so that may make a big difference.

I've done quite a few refunds over the last few months and I haven't had any problems with paypal holding money.

I haven't had any problems with paypal holding money. Is this a new thing?

I'm going to be signing up for propay too probably. I used it when I used to do shows and hopefully will be starting to them again.

Lol on the knucklebuster- there's a reason why they call it that, they are difficult to use.

Those are really cool! Nice job!

I am testing Apple Jack & Peel right now. I was thinking the same thing about the name- not my favorite. It smells so good though! I think Spiced Apple Cider is a great name for it, it fits the way it smells. I might use that one if its ok. Jack's Spiced Apples goes well with your biz name.

I pour about 155 for my clamshells too. On one I forgot to let it cool and poured too soon and I think the temp was in the 170's. It warped. I use all soy.

Thanks for that information. I do keep the lid handy. I've sort of gotten the hang of the presto pot so it doesn't get too hot again.

I have been testing with 2 cubes.

It does lead me to want more. lol. I have quite a few scents that I need to test. It's been fun!

Oh my gosh! I never thought to put the FO & dye in first! That makes it so much easier! Thank you. I wish I had gotten a couple of 2 lb pour pots instead of all 4 lb ones.

That looks really good! I love strawberry smells!

I have a bunch here that smell amazing but I haven't put them in wax

The ones I like that I have put in wax (I'm just starting out)

Monkey Farts

Clean Cotton

Pink Sugar

Best Friends

Christmas Cabin

Apple Jack & Peel

Pumpkin Crunch Cake

Me too! It is definitely one of my favorites that I got from them. I haven't started selling yet, but people are really excited for that one.

Another one that smells amazing is their Best Friends scent. I've had that one burning for a couple of days now and it is so nice. My kids even love it.

I just looked around your site for a bit. Nicely done! 200 scents!! That's amazing. I'm testing my 4th or 5th today. lol.
