diamondk Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 I have to make soap favors and a 6x6 pillar for my DIL baby shower in October. Got to get them done so they all can cure properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildangel112 Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 We're getting a lot of rain and some fairly strong wind gusts right now. Hoping it doesn't get much worse. I have 336 votives to work on, but don't know how much I'll get done today. We've been trying to keep in touch with family and friends further south. My FIL lives in New Orleans and they got out safely, but we're very worried about the levees holding up and whether they will have a home to go back to as they're saying that it's looking bad in several places:sad2: . It's a wait and see thing now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annareeb Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Nothing, until I get supplies:cry2: been gearing up for my craft fair the 24th, and I have run out of wax,and soap ingrediants and pretty much everything but scents and colors! I am anxiously awaiting the mail man and UPS.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trish Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 I think my response is going to be the same each week for the next 2 months. I'm making PILLARS! LOL First two orders are shipping out today... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belfrie Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 I'll trying to pour a few pillars, and a little experimentation. But I think I'm gonna try and do a couple cut-n-carve when I can. But mostly gona be carving pumpkins... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire and Ice Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Still pouring like a mad woman for the big October Fest coming up at the end of Sept. I caught up most scents on the summer side of the list but still have more to go. When that's done, I move to the Fall/ Winter side of my shelves in the great room. Cure crates are full! Poured Apple Pie and Sugar Cookie last night. Strawberry/Kiwi is caught up. Will move on to Cherry and Carnival next. Followed by Honeysuckle and Lavender. I have 400lbs of wax sitting on the floor waiting to go in the melting pots and Deb in FL was kind enough to send me more Special wax. That will be coming UPS. Maybe Friday.Praying that the Clamshells show up the week before the show! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaryinCary Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 140 wedding favor votives that have to be wrapped in organza rounds and tied off with silk ribbon & charm. Makes my ass tired just thinking about it, but it's my niece's wedding so off I go to melt more wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MommaD Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Wow! You all stay BUSY!! I am going to be cleaning, chasing my kids around the house to keep them from killing each other, and candle experimenting. Also, waiting on a phone call from the Chamber to see if I got the job doing gifts for the Festival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lolas Lights Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Gonna make a few chunkies, and I've got a crap load of orders from where my future dil works for aroma beads. Those things are selling like crazy, and to my disbelief, Sea Breeze, (which I renamed Ocean breeze) is one of the main sellers. We're beginning to get a little rain off of the storm in LA and it's supposed to get worse. Am praying for all that is in the path of the storm south of us.

Scented Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 It's show time for us -- two of them. Rockin's doing Saturday since I have to work and then we'll both be at one Monday. I guess nothing will be in the pot lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharyl55 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Honestly, I think the cottage is haunted or my cats are eating my embeds. I know I had made up a bag of strawberries for embedding. Needed some tonight and they are not where they belong or any place else. So I'm making up another batch. Hope to test Amish Harvest in some new containers and make some more test gels.Talked to my sis in Gulf Shores, AL late this afternoon. She had some minor roof damage but no flooding thank goodness. She didn't evacuate cause the weather folks said it was heading for New Orleans. Said she would definitely clear out for the next one. Her cats spend the hurricane in their carriers in the bathroom so they would be safe. Got to have your priorities right.Hope everyone in the CT family is safe.

shell1226 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 I'm just testing some new fall/winter/holiday scents. Not having too much luck. Also, going to try out some clamshells. If all works well, I may switch over. I'll have to test them out on my regulars and see what they think.Startied getting some Christmas stuff poured. Starting with Peppermint. I can only do about 8 or 10 jars before I get a major headache from Peppermint, so I start early and try to get stocked up.Also, making a Med. Fig pillar set for my new kitchen (when it's finally done). The first set I did, I waited too long between layers and it separated. Oh well, back to the drawing board.

Sara Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Order filling. Jar candles mostly. And then I'd like to get at least 2 batches of soap in this week. Kids are back to school in 2 days, so I'm hoping to get more productive soon!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freezin Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Well last saturday, I was going to go to the local fair. So I candled like a mad woman, only to find out it was cancelled. I filled all my containers that I had on hand and got my clamshells up to date. So I think I am going to play with some new scents I have coming in and just got my order for jars in yesterday, so I am good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southernscents Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 I am located in KY and there is a weekend show at Land Between the Lakes. I am going. Booth fee is $100 and I'm staying 1 night. I better make some sales. I am worried that the jump in gas prices is going to keep people away. Supposed to be a big show, so I hope people are ready to shop for Christmas. Weather is supposed to be nice here. I ordered my fall and winter scents yesterday can't wait to start those. Also ordered 5lb of soy to test. Going to add this to my line when I get it all figured out. I have had lots of request for it at shows.Hope everyone has a great weekend.
