  1. Does anyone know if they carry these aroma beads at Michael's? There's one right next to my gym and I'd like to try these. I can grab them right after my (dreaded) workout tonight.
  2. Thanks! I can't wait to try that one in a candle. I'm using 4630 in a 9oz hex jar. All I have at the moment are zinc core wicks.
  3. Did you find that you had to wick up or down with the strawberries & cream?
  4. I haven't poured either of them yet, just the honeydew melon. DH wanted to try that one first. I am also waiting on my liquid dyes so I can make the completed candle to test.
  5. Don't you just love making them? I love to accessorize mine.
  6. That is a great idea! I am trying to learn to make tarts and candles so both would be helpful to me as well. I can't get pm's yet because I'm new. I've been thinking about this all morning and trying to think of what info would be good to ask for besides melt pool & hot throw. My email address is cheermom7297@hotmail.com if you don't mind sharing what you have for candles & tarts.
  7. That's good info to know! I love fruity scents. I poured Honeydew Melon last night, I am just waiting a couple of days now to start burning it. My unscented testers are about a quarter of the way down the jar now after 5 test burns. I have 2 pages of notes on them. LOL, seems like it will be a book by the time they are finished!
  8. I know what dialing in means. It's not a term exclusive to candlemaking. Just sayin'
  9. CandleAddict, I have been wondering the same thing. I am ready to send my first test candle home with a friend for an outside opinion. If folks here wanted to all contribute what they think would be good info to ask for on there, I would be willing to make up the sheet and share it. Seems like that would be a good tool to have.
  10. Thank you Stella! I have the form I have been using in a word doc on my work computer. I will email it to myself and will be glad to share it if anyone is interested. I'm not sure I can attach a word doc file to a post but I can always cut & paste it. It just won't look as pretty.
  11. Haaa! We're practically neighbors! I work in Gilbert, when I got off work today around 2:30 it was so hot when I got in the car it nearly took my breath away. Get home to find my ac unit is malfunctioning again Hubby is tinkering with it, but I guarantee we'll be calling the repairman!
  12. Megandgarr, what part of AZ?? I'm in San Tan Valley.
  13. My dad owns a heating & air business and he uses go payment. He's happy with it so far.
  14. I am not asking for anything to be handed to me. I have done a lot of reading, days & days of reading. I didn't find the answer to this particular question. I have looked for the answer before asking any question. Most of the time I have found the answer myself. Why even comment if you are just going to down people? It takes much less energy just to hit the back button. I don't mean to be rude or unappreciative of the help I have received, but you sound as if you are assuming I don't want to do the research myself. That is not the case.
  15. Those are beautiful!!! Perfect for tropical scents IMO
  16. My intent is to make a good quality candle and enjoy a hobby. If at some point down the road I felt confident enough to possibly sell them, so be it. I'm not looking for some kind of business. I'm looking for something to do that is relaxing to me.
  17. I just went in and I think I enabled them. I tried sending a new pm and it said I don't have permission
  18. OMG you're right! I didn't even think about that! Haaa! It's beautiful though!
  19. Wow, that looks great! Organization of workspace is one of my downfalls. I've always been that way with everything I've ever done. LOL
  20. I have no words of wisdom, but I wanted to say I'm so sorry you had such a bad experience. I really hope you can find a way to be able to continue your business.
  21. I can tell you one thing, all of this test burning is giving me an idea of how long the candles will burn for!
