Thanks, candle researching was easier than soap researching I do believe!! It really seemed to take a lot to narrow down companies though. I still have on my list to try Natures Garden, Cajun's Candles, Aroma Haven/Rustic, and Peaks. The only good thing about playing with the hobby lobby was that I got some practice with pouring and watching temps. I so just stumbled upon this board a few days ago, which is so strange when I googled candle boards in so many different ways!! This place is a great wealth of information. Volumes upon volumes!!

Just wanted to pop in and introduce myself. My name is Shanda and I live in Texas. I wasted 3 years of my life with 2 of the direct sale candle companies out there beating my head on that proverbial brick wall. got fed up and decided to start making my own. I've spend months upon months researching, and considering I don't work, have a lot of time!! I have info coming out of my ears it seems! I get to place my first real supply order on the 1st and will be starting with votives! I can't wait!! I'm ordering from BC-South, really hoping they are good. If the budget allows, I will also get some stuff from the Kentucky place for clam tarts. I have to admit, yes, I've bought some of those crappy kits from Hobby Lobby and stuff just to play, yeah they are crappy! I have so much enjoyed looking at everyone's projects and reading! I think I may be in trouble though as I looked at some of the soaping projects. Now I'm thinking somewhere down the road that looks fun. But omg, started initial research yesterday and I get such a headache, it's like confusing information overload!! Oh well, I'll keep researching and reading and lurking and soon hopefully I'll be able to post my first projects!
