RobinInOR Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Is everyone going to be taking a break on the long weekend and actually *not* doing anything with candles or b&b?Didn't think so lol... Three day fair this weekend, setting up tonight. Nice thunderstorm cleared the air last night so hopefully it won't be 100F. 85F I can deal with.Never did get my lip balms made, and a few other products will be missing, but I should have enough to fill my shelves. Got new ones last week, and they work great - can put lots more product in them and keep the tables clear. What's in your pot? Have a great long, back-to-school, relaxing weekend!

Vicky_CO Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I will be doing a show also so no product getting made hopefully a lot of sales. Have a great weekend Robin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerJill Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I'm playing with wax this weekend but no fragrances, just dyes. Yesterday I started blending colors and pouring samples into clamshells for future reference. It felt like drudgery at first but once I got going now I can't seem to stop. :smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alajane Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 My pot this weekend is like yours, Robin. A 2-day show for me instead of 3-day so I'll be loading up the truck tonight after work and setting up tomorrow night after work.I sure love doing shows close enough for me to set up most of the heavy stuff the night before and not have everything to do in the early morning. Since I do mostly containers, that stuff is HEAVY!!! And I like getting to sleep for a while after setting up and before selling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickie1st Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 My week-end will be mixing colors for more Foundations and trying to match an Eye Shadow color for someone. Then trying my hand at Matte Eye Shadows and also making a few more blushes. My jars came in yesterday so I'll be jarring up more eye shadows that have been waiting. I'll probably be doing all that in between taking better pictures of product already made for my site and then working on my site adding the Mineral Makeup line to it and then pawning it off to DH to add all that to the shopping cart ........ :tiptoe:And then getting a few Makeup orders ready to go out, and sending new colors out to my testers *faint* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have eight gift baskets to make for PAWS, Project Open Hand, Aids/Breast Cancer Emergency Fund and finsih the rest of our Spa collection. Our new radio advertising promotes our whole soy line and have over 30 scents in that. So I will be very busy over the holiday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelleyBean Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 My husband wants to learn since he's finally home and getting settled in, so we are going to be making a bunch of melts, you know, nice and slow for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Waiting on some supplies so I can start making my fall candles, tarts and soap. Not all of them have arrived yet and the shipping stats say they won't be here til Tuesday. But I have market on Saturday as usual and will probably test out the sample oils I got from Fillmore on Sunday. Can't wait to try the Cocoa Therapy, Butterscotch Brulee, and Irish Moss.

SpaceGirl Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Hmmm. Will be test burning candles for the Luxury candle swap! Maybe I'll pour some replacement stock for the craft fair season (I really should!). In my B&B pot, I'll be making some lotions, lip balms and trying out the Body Butter Bliss kit I got from Lotioncrafter. We'll see how that goes!

Crafty1_AJ Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I have about 1,000 testers to test-burn. OK, TEN or TWELVE. And new samples to paw through. But I'm having company this weekend, so I may not get to work much.I did pour re-stocks this morning, but I have customers already bugging me for Christmas scent soaps and candles. So I'll be a pouring fool next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Eventually wax. Have a lot to get poured and tested this weekend while Rockin does the two shows (well I may help out Monday.) Have to work Saturday, so by the time I got there it would be almost over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildangel112 Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Nothing in the pot this weekend. We'll be doing the La. Road Show, Saturday. Not much notice for this one but I'm as prepared as I'll ever be. I'm really excited to see the response to the new scents I've been testing to add to our line, especially the Brown Sugar & Fi and, White Rose Bergamot. The rest of the weekend, I'll spend helping DH pack. He'll be leaving early next week for a job in Montana. Good thing I have lots on hand to keep busy, with fall/holiday shows just around the corner. Best of luck to everyone with your weekend shows!

heirloomoriginals Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Nothing in my pot this weekend (not that there usually is, LOL). We are going to camp tonight and staying until Sunday sometime. Monday we are having my family over for a picnic, and then getting ready for the start of school on Tuesday.I am hoping to get our new kitch in by the end of September, so I can use our old upper cabinets for storage in my workshop. Until that happens, I am still using the kitchen.Steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
