Timber Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 So, I've been dabbling in making candles the past few years. Thought I had a handle on it. Poured a few candles at a time for myself here & there. Made it all thru summer without making a single purchase for supplies. I mean, I've got a shelf full of fo & wicks, probably 50 lbs of various wax. What could I possibly need? Then my sister asked for a candle to gift to her son's girlfriend. My sister is about the only one I've given candles to. She asked for any fall scent. Wouldn't you know, i just poured the last of my Amish Harvest for myself! I could have tried a couple other scents i have but that one I feel the most confident about to give away. Well, once I started, i just couldn't stop. It didn't help that i ran across the .99 sale with CS (@#$%#! Facebook)! I now have restocked my Amish + 4 other scents from 3 suppliers, 20 new scents to test, and ingredients to try my hand at solid lotion bars. Came home from work yesterday & had boxes stacked 3 ft high, plus another today. Really hoping I win the local Queen's Heart Raffle this weekend, over $250,000 now. (I've got my eye on some new jars)😜 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxxAlpha71xxx Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I *know* I need an intervention. I woke up yesterday morning and told my wife that someone had emailed me and told me that a Premier 765 would work perfect in an 8 oz tin. When you start dreaming about candles and wicks....well, the first step is you have to realize and admit that you have a problem 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramr Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 (edited) I dabbled in candles about a year ago then took a long break and now am jubilant to have ordered some new FOs, from the States. I tell everyone who will listen that I have new FOs coming. They don't care. What's wrong with people?!

Forrest Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 I understand where you're coming from, I just received 5 dozen tins and 600 wicks yesterday. Just what I need, another 60 candles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
