RobinInOR Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Can you believe how close it is to the holidays? Any one have any last minute shows?I'm not going to be making anything for the rest of the year, I'm fulfilling all the last minute orders out of stock. In the last week I've made up a bunch of gift bags for workmates. Now I've got to think presents for the family! Anyone pouring any cool candles for table decorations? Happy Friday - yay!

grama Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I am happy to say I hope nothing connected with candle making is in my pot this week-end. Between UPS and locals the last orders should go out today and hopefully that will be it for the year:bliss: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindanelson Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I'll be putting stuff together for my clerks at work.I'm also testing my 6 oz. hex jars. I got an easy wick setter yesterday, so now I can play with that.I have aroma beads to do also. Bath salts, more pillars.I think I can find enough to make to keep me busy and not think about all the stinkin snow outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire and Ice Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Nothing in my pot for the rest of the year! I'm working off of the inventory I already have in restocking my wholesale accounts. I have a few candles to ship to family and that's it! In the New Year it's SOAP! Fire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kandlekrazy Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Where in the heck did the whole year go??I'll be playing with Glass Glow a little, but mostly making more of Bunny's Bath Melts to give with gifts, I'd like a variety of them. Done, Done, Done with orders...any orders that come in now are subject to stock on hand! I'm sure everyone can relate to this: I'm Tired!

HeavenScentU Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I just finished stocking one of the stores yesterday that wanted anything Christmas because they sold out of everything I had sitting on the shelves. So I am wiped out of holiday stuff which is great for me. I also just finished a rock candle for a house warming gift. I still haven't had time to make any cookies and fudge for DH work because I have been swamped. I just finished purchasing my new webset and have to work on my new website so it will be up and running in January. I hope Santa brings me a larger workshop....santalol I've been good!!!!

Trish Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I have four fundraisers that are due next week, so I'll be pouring 800 jars. The pouring isn't so bad, but I changed my packaging style and that takes FOREVER!I'm also supposed to do an open house on Thursday so making stock for that as well.... yeah, right!

Candybee Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I'm doing a fundraiser where I am selling off my year end stock. So far they have sold out several cases and people are still buying. Hope I sell it all! Could use a nice Christmas bonus!I also got an email when I got home tonight saying that my check for the last fundraiser event I did on Dec. 1st is in the mail! Woohoo!!So this weekend I plan to sit back and rest up a bit. I am sooooo tired of doing Craft shows and Markets every weekend straight since April.

ah-soy Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Pouring some Hot Orange Danish containers for gifts...it's only taken me two and a half years to test dozens of waxes, wicks and fo's. Finally blended my own parasoy that makes me happy (almost...damn those wetspots)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxGirl Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 A little bit of everything! I'm pouring some soy containers for hubby to put on display for me at his office. He wants them done asap before the big Christmas party we're hosting there next weekend. Also I'm wanting to make tons of tarts in different scents and shapes. I have plans to give out tarts and tart warmers in gift baskets as Christmas gifts. I have my work cut out for me this weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wick'n'Wax Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 nothing gonna concentrate on selling on the christmas candles I have left.

mizbizzyb Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 I poured 48 fruit preserve candles this morning for a friend. When I get home I have to pour some tarts for a few orders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
