Crafty1_AJ Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 I have a huge soy candle order, so I'm going to be pouring about 20-25 scents. BUSY weekend. LOLThen I want to make a batch of Ripe Mango soap. I plan to do an orange swirl.Next will come lotion bars in 3-4 scents and lip butters in 3-4 flavors.Any takers on bets to whether I'll actually get all this DONE in one weekend? I crack myself up.Whatcha making this weekend? I'd love to play with a pillar or two, but obviously I won't have time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinInOR Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Black Raspberry, what else? I'm ashamed, my week wasn't as organized as I thought it would be. I should have 100 bars already done, and I've only got 34 Even with a list the days got away from me lol... I'm sorta enjoying unemployment 2 batches a day for the next week. Plus I've got to make some more tub teas, and a bunch of deep cleansing oil/face serum packages. Shipping a wholesale order out Monday hopefully, yay!What I *really* want to do is 2 test batches of apricot & apricot freesia - both from Sweetcakes.

Pam W Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Pillars: Peach, Strawberry & Cream and VanillaM&P Soap: Matching scents for above pillars and Maduro, Indonesian Teakwood and then a experimental combo of both.After all this, I can count on DH making a run to Baskin-Robbins:grin2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzanne Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Pouring lots of soy candles and attempting my first milk-based cp soap. And trying to finish up the dreadful brochure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donita Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Maybe a nice glass of white wine. It is the weekend after all. Donita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelaVA Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 I'm testing some soy blends - trying to find the one I want to stick with. I also have some J50 candles to test. If I didn't buy so many FOs, I would really have less testing to do, lol. But, I can't seem to do that. Also, cleaning my house and getting ready for my last set of law school exams ever (don't know if I should be happy or scared ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trish Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 I have a pillar wholesale order I need to ship today (ugh, I hate shipping!)Another wholesale order just came in, luckily for jars...so much easier! So I will be working on 10 cases of jars and hopefully testing some new summer scents.And! If the rain will slow down, we're emptying the garage to convert the whole thing into my workroom!!!

rachf19 Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 getting ready for my last set of law school exams ever (don't know if I should be happy or scared )From someone who's been there---- BE HAPPY!!!! Then, after they're over be scared of taking the bar exam. My whole summer was terrible that year... DH used to look over at me in bed sometimes and say "Who are you? I know I've got a wife, but I haven't seen her in a long time... Are you her?" LOL!Just know that there is an end!!!!!Edited to Add: By the way, I will be making some nice "spring-y" pillars for my in-laws for easter. Would have been CB-135 containers, but Candles & Supplies is out of stock until Monday... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL!Just know that there is an end!!!!!I can't wait for the end! I need a steady paycheck again and I need my life back, lol. Law school is like a vampire, just sucks the life right out of you. But, I really don't look forward to studying for the bar all summer. The beach is an hour away from me and I would much rather be there (or pouring more candles, lol).

tonyalkay Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 I am still testing. I had stopped making candles for a while but have always stayed on the boards. I have been testing, testing, testing (can I say that word enough). I am currently testing the Greenleaf 70/30 blend and I am loving it. I have also tested some of their oils and am very impressed. My old oils have thrown well so far too. So back to testing so I can start selling again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michelle at WW Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Well, I was going to do votives and containers in Sweet Grass... Did that. And I have to dip some critters for a show this coming Friday. Needed some bunnies, so I went off to my suppliers to see what there was to see this morning... Spent too much money - that's the danger of being able to drive to two suppliers, both with Saturday hours! But now I have some pretty baskets for my bath bombs and 8 new fragrances to test, including one that my supplier renamed "Muskoka Boathouse" - in addition to restocking my bears and getting some cute bunnies and chicks. Decided at 10pm to make a few batches of aroma beads to get some sachets ready for my Mother's Day gift baskets. So they are soaking up the scent right now.Lastly, my accountant is coming over after my kids' swimming lessons tomorrow morning to help me finish setting up Quick Books! Critters will get made sometime over the next couple of days!Michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linnyeg Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 I got a bunch of orders at work on Friday that I have to fill. I've poured some apoths in Black Raspberry Vanilla and Pink Sugar. I've also made some votives and tarts in Black Raspberry Vanilla and Key Lime. I'm loving these! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraInNY Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 I'm making my very first pillars. Thought I'd start with something easy (is there such a thing? LOL) Just doing a couple of 3 inch pillars in JS Holiday Wassail (smells just like fruit punch to me). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
