RobinInOR Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I always love this time of year - what kind of great scents are you burning/smelling in your house?This weekend is my last fair of the year - yay! But 2 days. So tonight I'm trying to get most of my web orders packed for shipping Monday, and labeling the last 50 soaps, and making some more signs and bag stuffers. This is a community fair - first time it's been done, but it's the same organizer that did the River fair this summer, so it should be good. I swear, every little bit of stock I have left is going to be on those tables.Have a great weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Makin Momma Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 My pot is sad because it is out of wax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crafty1_AJ Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Gosh, I was shocked yesterday when I tried a new tart. The cold throw was negligible, so I was expecting the hot throw to be lousy. But I was pleasantly surprised! This was an fo that Candlewic sent me by mistake, so I didn't even order it. lol It was Butter Rum or some similar name. It is so pleasant that I think I'll burn these tarts at my open house this weekend. OK, what's in my pour pot? Shoot, I need to re-stock lilac, clean cotton, black cherry, mango, apple pie & lovesmell. Need to soap coconut lime verbena, but that ain't happening because this weekend is my annual open house. Not my weekend to make stuff; hopefully my weekend to SELL stuff. Need to make a batch of lip balm, batch of lotions, and a batch of scrubs up today. And put a few finishing touchs on my set-up.Have great sales this weekend, everyone!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Well best o' luck to you Robin and AJ!! It's a makin' weekend here lol! I have some bayberry to do for Sherie and pear tea soap in the mold, which in a few minutes needs to be followed with some other stuff. It would be great to get like 6-8 scents done in soap. Somehow me thinks I have big aspirations lol!Good luck to anyone else with fairs, shows and open houses! Next weekend is our last one, but I am seriously not in the restocking mood since i-n-v-e-n-t-o-r-y is coming up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire and Ice Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I have a one day show tomorrow and then I'm done with the shows. Because my truck broke down last Sunday, I have to come up with the m oney for those repairs so I have no idea if I'll have anything in my pots for the rest of the year! I'm out of wax and a number of important F/O for the season but the truck and the bills have to come first. Fire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmpressC Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Gonna be making (and testing) pillars in various scents: Sage & Lemongrass, Misbehavin and Christmas Splendor. I have no idea what my house will smell like when I'm done. :undecided Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accents Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I have an order to fill. Need to make some 5oz apothecaries in Christmas Song, Cinnamon, Buttery Gingerbread, and Snow Storm. My inventory's getting a little low, but I'm not sure I'm going to work on it unless I get another order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candlebug Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Hmmm, better for me to say "What the heck is NOT in my pots this weekend?" Parasoy blend in the big melter, votive wax in a presto, embed wax in another presto, gel wax in another, 6228 in another and...heck whats in the last pot?!?!? hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tizimarezie Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I'll be making wickless candles in various scents (mostly sugar cookie, but also some sweet pea, lilac, angel wings, blueberry muffin)......and I'm tempted to do the blueberry muffin with chunks. When finished, I'll put them in gift baskets along with a candle warmer. I think these will make nice Christmas gifts.Enjoy your weekend, everyone!

marika Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Candles and soaps are on the back burner for me til April. We are heading to Florida on Wednesday and will come back when the snow stops...I take my printers and computers and paints for the personalized stuff that I can do online but making candles in an RV is just scary Mari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelleyBean Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 One of my newest favorites is Sunwashed LinenMy pot this weekend is the last of drowning the poor lil bears, I would almost feel sorry for the lil critters but darnit they do make me money lol. Injecting a couple of stuffed monkeys in, yeah you guessed it, Monkey Farts which is a Christmas present for my sister.Other than that I think it will just be stuff for me to burn for the rest of the holiday.
