  1. Thanks!!!! Heading there right now to check them out!
  2. I had a request for some scents that I currently carry. I have found them through different suppliers but was wondering if anyone else using these and knows where the BEST can be found...even if under a different name but same scent! I am making 1oz melts in soy Hansel & Gretel's House Country Gift shop Twigs & Berries Mulled Spices & Cider Snickers Coffee Blend Starbucks Coffee
  3. As soon as I post them on my site I will!! They are just tarts/melts made into foil cupcake papers instead of the break apart clam kind...then you just peel off the foil and melt. I have only made molded ones...never tried this easy way!!
  4. okay...lol...i know that was SUCH a dumb question...lol...I made some and found out for myself.
  5. Okay...I have made wax tarts/melts before but never the peel and melt type. The 1oz size...are they normal size cupcake papers or smaller ones?
  6. I have to agree with you Scented about the phone call!! Not only could they be having problems with their emails or whatnot....your emails could be going to their "Spam/Junk" mail folder....the only reason I say this is because that is what happened to me. I had a lady place an order and 3 weeks later call me to say that one of the candles were broken and the box had look like it went through a war zone. When I asked her why she didnt contact me right away...she told me she had started emailing me the day she recieved them and every day since. Knowing that it wasnt true....I had NEVER got an email from her and I check my emails daily....I went ahead and replaced the candle. A few days later I was bored and started looking at all the jumk emails I had gotten...needed a laugh anyways and sure enough...there were her emails!! But yeah....I would be mad too about the over charging of shipping! I hate when you buy something from eBay....pay a CRAZY price for shipping only to see that the seller used Media Mail and paid 1/4 of what you gave them!!!!!
  7. Got mine today too! Sent: Monday, June 18, 2007 1:07 PM To: JenniferTolson@pixiescandles.com Subject: Wholesale Hello my name is Stephanie and I own a specialty retail shop in Arkansas. I am looking for something new to add to my current stock. I am very interested in your candles and would love to see a product sample of your craftsmanship if you offer a chance to sample them as I am very picky about what I put in my shop. I also think it is important to see how well the candles burns and smells. Thank you for your time and I look forward to speaking with you.
  8. YES! I LOVE her molds!!! and she is a wonderful person to work with!!!
  9. Or....Dollar Tree didnt pull them from the shelf. I went into a Dollar General last week here where I live and had to tell them they had dog treats on their shelf from that recall....I am just praying no one bought them....the manager said "I never got a note telling me to"...WOW....makes you think!
  10. Hey....sorry I am not closer to you to help you out...but I have gone to county (ones close to me of course) websites and found out info from there...may be a good place to start anyways.:undecided
  11. NO WAY...they have to be real!!! WOW...they look YUMMMMMYYYYYY!!!!! I dont like raisins either...but I think with looks better...though plain is good too..LMAO
  12. VERY nice Cindy....I like them!
  13. OH MY! At 1st I thought maybe this person set their myspace page to not show their true age....but if you click on his 2nd "friend" thats him...look at "Adam's Companies "...this is just TOO funny!
  14. Are you melting your FBB ? I bought some from your co-op and haven't played with it yet.
  15. I thought about it...my MIL is a BIG time scrapper! I was going to order a couple of kits and stuff from www.orientaltrading.com but havent got around to it yet...has anyone ever ordered scrapbooking supplies from there?
  16. I made cherry and blueberry ones almost just like those....(my buckets are a little diff though) ....but I made some last summer for a craft fair and they sold SO good! I ran out and had to take orders for them. They look GREAT bet they smell yummy too!!!!
  17. I would sell these too and wouldnt think twice about it...and as long as I do your part and label them with all the warnings then I would feel good about it...but on the other hand I also know that if for some odd ball reason...one of my buyers bought it and a child ate it and got sick or whatever....I dont think I could live with myself....just like if someone bought a candle from me and went to bed with it burning and burnt their house down I would feel the same way....its not my fault ...and yeah with my "tail end is covered" (LOL..I like that one!) I wouldnt worry about a lawsuit at all. Selling these would be no different then any handmade item or store bought item....it's kinda like to each their own deal.... These would go PERFECT with my food candles....I am TRYING to get myself to make food shaped soaps too...so yeah I would be one of the ones who would make it and sell it.
  18. Well heck....I figured after meeting everyone....she would run the other way...LMAO...JOKING!!!!! No really....I have seen newbies come and go...if someone really wants make candles and or b&b...I say go for it....but that doesnt mean I'm passing on tricks I've learned...or where I get my supplies. I have found though...that 75% of all questions I have got from people are other candlemakers....and members of boards like this who just wants to see the reply you give...or want to know where you get something and instead of just asking...they give you a story...blah blah blah.... Then most newbies (dont mean on here only) who want to learn or think they do...after realizing its not just sticking a wick into a jar and pouring the wax....change their minds. I guess I have been TO nice for sending them this way..LMAO...though if you type anything about making candles...this site comes up!
  19. You know....you are 100% right...but just like the person who orders hot coffee...spills it on their self and then sues cause the coffee was hot...you just never know. I think they would be good sellers though!!!
  20. I bought some from http://www.bottlesandtops.com/StoreCategory.aspx?CategoryID=613&CategoryName=Clear+PET+Tube+%26+Top+Sets not sure if they are available some where else for a cheaper price but I am happy with these! I think they make wider ones too that you may be able to put smaller bath bombs in.
  21. huh...that almost sounds like the same lady who contacted me not long ago! She contacted me through my yahoo messenger one night...told me she was a candlemaker...was working on REALLY BIG candle orders etc...then started asking how I made mine...where I buy my supplies and I told her to come here to candletech. I havent heard from her anymore...and I waited to see if she would join and contact me but nope.
  22. Will do! I have some candles I have to make 1st and then I want to get to soaping before my boys get home....but I will post some pictures!!!
  23. OH MY....they look good enough to EAT!!! I know I could NOT bring those into my house.....my kids would eat them!!!
  24. Just checked out the link and I think that was the same one I had made before....I did a search before posting this and couldnt find it....so thanks again for your help!!!
  25. Thank you!! I made soap one other time....I cant remember what it was...but I got the recipe from here. You dont have to worry about me & lye..LMAO...I'm scared to DEATH of the stuff!!! I have my lab gear ready.....LMAO
