You must be a riot to live with Sponey is all I can say....It must be non stop giggles and laughs all day living with you. Whenever you put up a post I know it's going to be a doozey - one that l most likely won't even comprehend when your discussing making soaps as I don't do soaps and then you go and throw in some outrageous hilarious lines (that I do understand!) he he he....and it just tickles me and gets my day going.

Gail, why don't you check with whoever you order a lot from and see if they have Rice Flower and Shea as a lot of companies do. I've ordered it from a few companies and they really all smell the same to me. I don't have any of it as I just looked, but I'm going to order a pound of it this week and I could send you a sample if you want. Hey, I save all the empty 1oz bottles when I am done with them...I could send you an empty bottle!....at least you can still smell it! lol Trappeur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't go wrong with that one either! If you like Vanilla Bean Noel then you'll love Mrs Claus Cookies. It smells a whole lot like it to me. I have the sugar cookie dough from ICS OOB it doesn't seem very strong - maybe it changes in wax ?? do you get a good HT from that one ?

I may have to put Mrs. Claus's Cookies on my list to sniff, but I have Sugared Vanilla Shortbread from Candlewic, which I haven't even used yet, plus Sugar Cookie from Cierra and Iced Cookie from The Candlemaker's store...which I got free for ordering over $100. My very favorite cookie FO of all those I've tried so far is ICS Sugar Cookie Dough. But I haven't ordered from there in a while to get more. Gail does Blackberry Jam Cookies from ICS + Day Star smell the same ? I have ICS Sugar Cookie Dough but OOB it seems weak IDK that kinda discouraged me so I haven't even put in in wax yet . What are your thoughts on that, do you get a good HT ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't bought the Blackberry Jam Cookies from either place so can't help you there. I think it was Belinda who had tried that FO. Honestly, it's been awhile since I've had the Sugar Cookie Dough from ICS, I added so many new suppliers to my list, I kind of let them slide. But I sure don't remember it being weak. I have it marked as one of my favorite FO's. It reminds me of Vanilla Bean Noel. Which I also had from ICS at one time. I do need to order some more Cranberry Orange Spice from there; used the last I had back before Christmas. It was a customer favorite and very strong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Gail but I have tried both of the blackberry jam butter cookies and they smell exactly the same to me. I don't think you can go wrong with either one. FB's also smells the same as theirs too. Sugar cookie dough from ICS isn't what I would call a really strong fragrance but strong enough that I can smell it when I walk in the room and enjoy it. I love that scent! If you're looking for a really strong bakery scent blackberry jam butter cookies is one that's strong. It's great too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know what I like about making candles though? They are a project I actually finish. I have so many counted cross stitch projects started, from years and years ago. Took me 30 years to finish a Mickey Mouse for my son. I gave it to him on his 35th birthday and put a quote under Mickey; "Good things come to those who wait." I'm on row 4 of an afghan I hope to have done by my great niece's birthday on Oct 3. I do manage to finish baby afghans, but I'm not so good at full sized ones, which hers is.

I'll get my oils organized (well sort of) and then I'll pull out what I want to pour and then they just sit there because everyone here wants leather and leather blends or manly scents, YUK!!! Anyway, my friends and co-workers are always getting on to me for ordering more oils but I just can't help it!!!! My cabinets won't hardly hold another bottle though. I have got to get rid of some of these. I was trying to put some of my oils from Flaming on the shelf where most of those are to keep them all together and pushed some of the bottles off just trying to cram more on the shelf! I'm at my wits end! I don't even sell that much but I sure keep buying supplies like I do LOL! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gail you sound so much like me! I just gave a friend of mine a garbage bag full of t-shirts and sweat shirts because I was doing appliqué (which I still love but don't do) and my oldest son moved back home and so I had to get my junk room cleaned out for him because his old room is now my wax room. Then I found all sorts of projects I had started years ago and never finished. I do pour wax though and enjoy doing it and hopefully I will branch out one day when I retire and it'll be a little bit of a supplement to my retirement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you on the sugar cookie dough, even OOB its weak. Although it does smell good just not strong enough. Today I put some of the ICS Bear Claws in my warmer, not in wax just the FO alone .... I was so-so about OOB but once it started heating up in the warmer it was so yummy ! The birthday cake from Peak is also pretty darn good. Edited July 15, 2017 by Moonstar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
