*awesome

Asheebeans, awsome find!!!! TY TY TY TY!!!!!!

Lol, I feel like such a big girl now cause I finally went through all my 5 & 10 pounders of wax and opened my first 50 pounder over the weekend :yay::yay:. Oooops, didn't mean to do that many jumping smilieys, but it's appropriate. Jus had to share, carry on

Sorry it didn't turn out as well as you hoped, but def could've been worse. Plus you got your name out to a few more people That's great someone bought her burner but your tarts, love it! The scentsy lady was probably so jealous that you are talented enough to make your own,lol. Sounds like the one coming up this weekend will be great, good luck! Good luck to you too, faithful scenter!

Congrats!!!! That is soooo great! Even sounds like you will have advantage over the others considering your craft is handmade, local and you can bring plenty of stock. People love to have product in their hands as they walk out the door. Def have to let us know how it goes and this gianormous house!

YAY! How fun! Congrats on your first batch. I am hoping to play with some M&P in the next week or so

I have heard that too. But haven't smelled slatkin leaves, will have to remember that next time I venture out.

I knew they had tarts, but seriously?!? The rest is just outta control! Thanks, cause I would have used common words...smh

Crackling birch is amazing!!!!!!!!

Thanks Asheebeans! You jus saved me hours and hours of research by giving me plastic wrap details, lol. Everytime I get on here to research, I get stuck reading EVERYTHING I will def wrap then just to be safe

Purfume button idea is so cool! Candybee, how's it coming along? Are you in Berryville, Front Royal or Winchester? lol Fig. it's one of those. Please let me know when these are out and where the store is located, I'd love to try some out So many wonderful ideas can't wait to hear what you have come up with! My dad is a major history buff, my uncle as well, these would be perfect gifts

Hey Lorelei! I haven't started wicking yet, just tested em in tarts, I know wrong catagory. I let all of em cure for a at least a week. I did up the % to almost 10%, that has helped. Now on the Hillbilly hmbrew I am getting about 6+ strong HT, 17 total hrs. Tested it last week but hadn't had time to update this post yet. But I am still only getting about 6 hrs total w/ Autumn magic @ almost 10% I will probably revisit it later and try again, it really is a great scent. Do you think a wick might make it stronger? That's awesome Moonshine! Hopefully I will get that one fig out when the time comes cause that one is amazing as well!

Good to know suzy k, thanks!

I think a few perfume types are a great idea, one named love letters. Oooh, forget me not, what do those smell like...? Yummm leather and tobacco

Thanks so much for posting this!!! My daughter has told me several times that she wants to make one of these, but we just started loom knitting, so I didn't want to get too ahead of myself. This looks like something I can do! And the purse it adorable! I'm not a purse person but I may have to rock that!

Jus name ideas - magnolia morning, moonlight and magnolia, candellight rose, grey ghost,twilight in gettysburg, confederate christmas, morning riders, road to glory, war horse, men of valor I totally cheated and looked up the names of Mort Kunstler's paintings, my aunt has his stuff throught her house and I pictured them in my head while reading the post. A lot of good ideas. http://mortkunstler.com/html/art-limited-edition-prints.asp?CATID=136

Hello! I haven't tried any soaping yet but plan to order some NG natural bases for christmas gifts. I am thinking the hemp, yogurt and shea. If you have any experience with their natural bases, please leave a comment. What's really been running through my head is packaging. Has anyone wrapped these bases in only paper with good results? I found some recycled 65lb envelopes I thought bout sticking them in that, then the kids can decorate. I also saw the coffee filter idea and that is super cute! Those who use the filter, do you plasic wrap first? Some will be shipped to CA so maybe plastic is a must? I couldn't find much info on NG's M&P, nothing on how much it sweats. Thanks for your time and help! Can't wait to make these

Bahahahahahahahahah!!!!!!!! I've been trying to wait on my order for two weeks now, not sure if I can hold off much longer. I haven't tried all the ones I have yet! But I totally agree, if I'm gonna pay that much in shipping may as well make it worth it You guys are cracking me up, thanks needed the laugh

Yeah I fig it was jus gonna be my personal strange system Jus didn't expect temps to be all over the place but like you said what works, works. I have been letting it cure at least a week, I tried a few early for fun and it wasn't worth it lol. Thanks again!

Just an updat on NG on 415. Autum Magic is a lovely scent but I jus couldn't get a strong HT. Harvest Moon is strong and I like it a lot, it's a like berries with a touch of mint.

Thanks Imc! I did try adding the FO at higher temps and got a nice HT on very few. Am finding that mine is working best at lower temps. That's why I've been doing the variables of 5 to test, it's not always exact sometimes I'm a couple off. But I am finding that there can be a big dif in HT when I compare 160 to 165. Not every FO but so far a few. I am also finding that my temps for adding oils is all over the place, like one works best at 170, the other at 165, another at 160 and another at 150. I could understand if they were in similar groups like bakery, citrus, spice, whatever.... so is that normal, every FO has it's own perfect lil temp? When I first started researching I just assumed each wax in what ever region, combined with house temps and if I'm wearing lucky pjs or not, would have it's own standard temp except for certain groups. I don't mind doing so many temps on one FO, it is time consuming but I am only doing 1 oz per temp. But the burning through it all is taking a long time LMAO, who knows maybe I am crazy and there is no dif at all Thanks again!

I haven't played w too many christmas ones yet, but so far I really like: Spiced cranberries, christmas cabin, frosted pinecones (haven't burned yet but nice ct), & I could burn pumpkin crunch cake year round

So sorry to butt in..... Justajesuschick- Pretty sure I read in the reviews that NGs Home sweet home is a dupe.

Oooops! Sorry, meant to put that in wickless ^^
