RobinInOR Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Wow it's December already. Anyone creating any neat gifts for the holidays? Good luck at any fairs, getting down to the end of the season - yay!Actually, tomorrow is my first holiday fair. So setting up tonight after work. I ran out of time as usual, am missing about 4 products that I won't be selling. This is the fair where I almost broke $1K last year, so crossing fingers and toes. It'll be my 3rd year there. Stuffing all bags with discounts off first purchase at June opening of market - a long way off but who knows Then Sunday, relabeling whatever is left in stock for the next weekend's 2 day fair. Have a feeling I'll only do one day, not much stock left.Have a great weekend everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sally Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 I'm getting back into the swing of things..... doing some tins, votives & tarts for christmas baskets in some yummy christmas f.o's for some very special friends. I couldn't have got through the last few months without them so I want to make them very special baskets indeed.Sally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candlesprite7 Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 I'm thinking about what to put in a basket for my daughters teacher...I'm thinking a pretty tart warmer and assorted melts and some votives and other handmade things. At one of the craft fairs I found this lady who was putting letter beads on pens, it was cute so I bought one with the teachers name on it...LOLI'm also thinking of pouring the Deomcrat FO to test with a soy blend.Lots of snow today! up around 10", all schools and lots of businesses closed...Kids are all outside playing...I love it!Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 I have scraps in my pots lol! Two shows going on this weekend ... one we don't man, but helps raise money for sheltered living. The other ... well it's tomorrow. We're down to what's left is what's left (unless we um sell out, then I have two weeks to make for the last show.) All I can think about though is My God it's COLD!!

I plan to pour baby powder (hopefully that will test out ok so I can give it to a friend for her baby shower), strawberry cheesecake, and I haven't decided what else yet! Probably some Christmas' scents.Kelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndyGirl Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 First really cold winds of the season! No snow though! It just missed us! I'm doing a little spa party tomorrow and it's my first show! Working on my website and will open it after the party tomorrow. Tonight is Hot Baked Apple Pie and then smelly sinus relief tarts! What a combo! Last night was Vanilla Silk and Banana Nut Bread now that was really nice! So, I now have a total of 8 scents in candles for the party and the ever popular sinus tarts! After I'm done tonight.......labeling and boxing everything up! Hope I sell lots!Stay warm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

country creek Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 I have a two day show this weekend and I am actually not looking forward to it. I just do not have it in me to sit all weekend in one place. Anyway.....I set up today and I thought I had plenty of stuff until the lady that runs the show told me that they are expecting over 5000 people to come through this weekend!!!! OMG, I should have made more candles!! Anyway~ I am hoping I will sell out on Saturday so I can stay home on Sunday. Wish me Luck!! Good Luck to all of you this weekend on your shows!!
