MTMade Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Hi there! I'm jumping back into candle making after a 12 year break - raising kids takes SO much time!! :-) I forgot how much I LOVE candle making, and am excited to start again. My husband and I own a hardwood floor business, which also keeps us busy, but I'm finding time to experiment with coconut wax. After working almost exclusively with palm, I have to say I love, love the white creamy texture. I am enjoying this forum so much, and appreciate those you like to keep it positive and are so willing to offer advice and encouragement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenni Wix Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Hi, from your neighbor in Idaho! I've been candle making for a bit, and I love the throw from coconut wax. Wicking has been a challenge. Onward! Glad to see another westerner around! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And of course I can't make it easy on myself - I'm experimenting with combining palm embeds and layers with the coconut wax... we'll see... :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And actually, I was on this forum way back when, but I must have been purged! (or maybe I just couldn't remember the sign on correctly) Yes, it's been that long... :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbaranj Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 He grew up in the Northeast corner of the state in Sidney. He has siblings in Sidney, Bozeman, Billings, and Hardin. Great state to raise a family, for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
