Great! Looks like a Christmas ornament.

eugenia, be honest now - were you an English teacher or a proofreader?

Those are SO cute! And the price is defintely right! Never heard of Rojay's. Wonder where I could get them in Texas?

ollie's got it going on. He's already ordered from candletech.

That's the way to be thrifty and not waste one ounce of wax! And it turned out so well, too! If I did that I would probably get a stinky, brown blob.

Does anyone have a REAL fresh peach smelling fo? I've tried peach fo's from several suppliers and they're all either kind of stinky or have something else, like vanilla or berries, mixed in. I want just a plain, straight, strong peach smell. Does any such animal exist?

Looks like a pretty big mushroom on the Eco 10. Is there anything that wouldn't mushroom in this jar using 70/30? How's your testing going? No pictures posted for almost a month. Your pics were great - sharp & sized right for easily seen details. A picture really is worth a thousand words.

I was pissed, too, until I read the BCS newsletter & saw they have cyclo on sale July 30-Aug. 5. The BCS newsletter has all the sales listed in advance, unlike BCN where they post daily sales at 6:00 a.m. if they have any for that day. Kinda sucks if you happen to miss it on the day they have a really good sale. Here's the link for BCS sales for the next few weeks:http://boards.bittercreek.com/tool/post/bittercreek/vpost?id=1234060

Love the candle & it seems to be burning well now, but I'd also like to see how it's burning when it gets more than 1/2 way down. Your desk is SO clean. I could never burn a candle on mine without starting a forest fire from all the papers piled up on my desk.

Wish I had someone around to make me neat stuff like that - but then after they make it, I'd want them to just quietly go away.

Ya'll are gonna get burned out on making stuff by tomorrow night! Take a nap and get rested up for the all-nighters this weekend.

Here, here, funnygirl, I agree wholeheartedly. It seems as though Top thinks he is the ONLY one entitled to an opinion on anything. He's obviously one of those "I'm always right and everyone else is always wrong" kind of people. I think GL was very patient in trying to explain the problem to Top and he didn't listen. He was too intent on trying to bait GL into an online arguement, which I think she graciuosly avoided it when she bowed out of the conversation after it became apparent that Top was not interested in help or conversation, but merely wanted to be beligerent and arrogant. I don't know who you're trying to impress Top (maybe yourself), but it didn't impress me.

SOOO cute and creative! You need to enter that in the soap contest at the TX Candlemakers conference Saturday.

Cups? Yeah, well, I guess it would be unseemly to swig it out of the bottle, huh?

Crown? I can tell we're gonna get along just fine. We already have so much in common. I never leave home without my Crown. It goes where's I's goes.

Just heard from Anne Wickware at Wick's Wares and they had a family emergency so they won't be at the conference. They are still giving 10% discount until the 8th, but it will have to be shipped since they can't bring it to the Conference. Bummer! I was gonna get lots of heavy stuff from them to save on shipping. I hope someone else is there that has the cases of wax I wanted. Trying to decide whether to get a case of the Greenleaf 70/30. Is everyone liking it that's tried it? Finally got my white elephant gift done today. Didn't turn out quite as expected, but oh, well. Got all my little things done for the Conference swap, too (well, almost done). Still have to find wrapping and packaging. Just not enough hours in the day - plus I have to work tomorrow. A day off almost in the middle of a work week sucks. See ya'll Friday!!!

Not a thing wrong with it in the looks department. It looks like an old pro did it.

ROTFLMAO @ Tara! Yep, my teenage daughter always plays the blonde card, too. Hey, wait, she worked on my hair tonight & went a little heavy on the highlights - I can use the blonde excuse now, too! Whoo Hoo, finally...a reason to get away with whatever I want to do!

Great looking melts and packaging! The melts are in the mini foil cupcake cups that you can get almost anywhere, aren't they?

Thanks so much, Carrie. I 'almost' had it right. *LOL* Just couldn't figure out what the "F" stood for. So you just all salt or sugar and fo to FBB for a scrub? I'll read up on it. Who supplies FBB?

WOW! That's great, eugenia. With signs like that you don't have to do much actual selling yourself, the signs do it all for you.

Tara! First you leave a candle burning all night, then you turn your wax up to high instead of off - all in less than 24 hours! Are you tired or drunk or blonde? < Just joking.> But, seriously, gal, you've lucked out so far, so don't push it. Be careful and be safe. We don't want to lose you.

That's what I was looking for - opinions and preferences and the reasons for them. I'm trying to decide which way to go with this scrub stuff. All the posts have been very helpful in explaining why you personally prefer one scrub over the other. Keep 'em coming.

1-AnitaG 2-Scented 3-TexasBrat 4-Kaybee23 5-Sherie 6-Bunny 7-VE 8-Smart Tart 9-Kimberly 10-KFTS (Tanna) 11-aswan01 (Ann) I know I never gave you a yes or no answer, Bunny, about he white elephant exchange because I didn't know if I would have time to make anything, but decided what the hay, if I don't get around to it I'll just stop in to see the other person with the same name on the way to the conference. She makes neat things and her name is also Ann, that counts, right?

The Dish? Is that a message board on aother website? Also, what is FBB? I've done a search on it and came up with a lot of people selling it on the classifieds, but they didn't spell out words for FBB. I'm assuming it's F-something Body Butter...am I close? I'm SO confused. Just when I finally got the hang of the candle lingo - here comes a whole new batch of words and abbreviations in the soap/body product making. ARGHHHH!
