RobinInOR Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Everyone starting to get into the winter spirit? Brr......This weekend I start labeling - finished up my lotion labels (I'm going to offer 2 lotion bases, one peppermint, one cucumber), so will be bottling some of that. And a gazillion soap labels.Spiced cranberry pillars I guess, the ones that I didn't do last weekend Now that I cleaned up the basement kitchen I've got to dig the prestos out again.Have a great weekend - and profitable if you're in a show - good luck!

Scented Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Still show season here! I had what I'm calling Harvest Moon the pots and jasmine, which needed remade. Got some Sweet Pea done. It's bear night and a show tomorrow and another on Sunday. Pure punishment, I say. Not ready for winter. Spring came to visit this week lol! Apparently she isn't leaving just yet.

Grandkids ran out and want more...they said they'd take any FO I care to send them.........they just don't know what they are in for:grin2: For g'son: Maduro, Sarsen, Drakkar, Black Ginger, Middle Earth; for the 2 girls - haven't decided yet.

jenphelps1972 Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Well, three weeks until showtime. This weekend I'm going to make snow balls and grubby pillars out of some straight parafin I bought when I first started out. Could not find a good use for it as it frosts really badly, but frosting wont be an issue if I whip it into snow and slap it onto the outside of my balls and pillars. Not sure yet what scents I will be doing, but I have several that need used up. I'm determined not to order anymore until I have my credit card paid off that I used to buy all my supplies to start this crazy hobby. But I love it. Except the pressure is on to get it all done. Off I go to the pouring cell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luci Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Devoting today to our veterans. Had a parade earlier today that included my 90-yr old uncle, who is our VFW's oldest WWII vet. Big barbecue tonight at the V that will honor all our vets here. Wanted to go fishing, but . . . . maybe tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauchie Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 I was out finishing the cinnamon rolls with maple vanilla added to it. I thought it smelled better adding that. I have to pick up from one craft fair at 6 & set up for one tomorrow night. Today is my little boys birthday so we are also celebrating that today. There are not enough hours today to get everything done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph in tx Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 I poured a Salsa Jar container candle in GL's Raspberry Mint Jelly fo. Made up a 4lb batch of the same fo in CP . I love this scent! Don't know what the colors will come out to be (used red Peacock color dye, and tried to swirl with Green Mica for the mint) , but it will smell good..lolAlso did 2lb batch CP with ICS's Sugar Milk and blended with Chocolate Kisses :drool: I did a blind swirl (or attempted to swirl...lol) Had DH pouring one unscented, while I poured scented that will darken I'm sure. Hell, I'll take the "Marbled Look" for now as long as it goes all the way thru the bars! :embarasse Best Wishes for Good Weather and Great Riches for those doing shows, orders!
