RobinInOR Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 I'm still in Walla Walla, not leaving for a few more hours - missed you guys I bet a bunch of you have shows this weekend - good luck!This weekend will be labeling for me - next Friday starts a 2 day fair, and I haven't labeled anything yet. So lots of printing, cutting, gluing...Have a great and safe weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvcandleguy Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 To the best of my knowledge, I am planning on starting some pillars for testing. These things are still new to me and I want to make sure I have it down. I may also do some testing on J223 as its a new wax for me. I am switching from my JOY wax mainly due to shipping costs. Other than that I figure thats gonna be it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trae Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 I have a bazillion things cooking this weekend. I have my annual open house the first weekend in December and the day after I have to set up for the Secret Santa shop I do every year at a local elementary school. Soooo....this weekend I'm going to finish up my M&P soaps with what supplies I have left. I'm also making gel candles with holiday and sports embeds. In between I have to package and label some things I have completed and try to find a place to put them until I get my basement straightened out. I have 4-step displays on order and can't wait till they get here so I can start setting up.Hope everyone gets lots done and good luck to those with shows!Trae Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire and Ice Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 I have a two day show this weekend so at 4 today, I have to go load the truck with 26 cases of candles and then 7 boxes of clammies, displays etc. Thank God they are proving the table. I'm taking a wicker laundry basket filled with 1 dozen candles and clammie for the auction that will rais money for the troops! (I love doing this for our men and women!) Hoping to sell, sell sell! This show is generally very good and so I'm very excited. Get to spend time with my crafter friends and the public.:highfive: I also have a show next weekend but only a 1 day show so not as much stuff to drag along!:wave: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Kitty Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Black Raspberry Vanilla, that's all I've got going today since I work this weekend.Oh, and top off some Fruit Slices votives to get into samples. Other than that, resting when I'm not working, still wore down a little Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Nothing this weekend as it's show day Saturday, another show to scope Sunday. BUT, BRV is done. Peach is done. Country berry hotcakes to go, along with five-seven other scents we're terribly low on to finish up the next five or six shows. And there's Silent Night to test, but man I think this stuff stinks lol! An All-American bear to get done and then put some ideas into motion. Oh and labeling to finish up as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FragileXmom Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 I'm going to continue to test Peaks new votive blend wax. It's weird getting used to the granular form, never tried that before, so easy. So far it does seem very different from 4794. It shrinks alot more and I'm getting large sink holes at the wick pin. It does release VERY easy from the mold, which is nice. I read I need to pour at 175 and I was pouring at around 165 so will try a higher temp. I haven't test burned either. Test test test.

smalltownscents Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 I have way too much to do this weekend. My first show is Sunday- only 12-5pm. I still have some containers left to pour and finish packaging my votives and air fresheners. I also want to get a few gift baskets put together. Wish me luck! I am so nervous!Good luck to everyone else w/ shows or open houses this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debscent Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Getting ready for a two day show next weekend. Pouring some more Xmas scents and having to buy the Xmas decorations for the table, taking my niece ice skating (let's pray I'm not in the ER on Saturday night) and then my niece's 8th birthday party for family on Sunday, all the while pouring, pouring and pouring.

geekrunner Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Mrs. geekrunner quit her one part-time job as a Pharmacy Tech, and she had me make some special container candles to give away as going away gifts to her coworkers. The loved them, and asked if I was selling. After making up a modest line, with pricing and everything, she picked up orders for 13 candles today! Not as much as I expected, but a good start. It gives me time to test the scents they requested, since I already have a range of wicks that work in the containers I offered. I promised delivery in four weeks. So my one Presto Pot will be fully loaded with MC soy laced with 3% BW and ready to rock!So I'll be testing scents Sunday while watching our stud Indianapolis Colts play the hapless Houston Texans! Hopefully the Colts won't be let down and choke to the worst team in the NFL (which very well could happen; the Colts usually take at least one dump a season ).Also, I'm runinng in a 15k trail race saturday morning. If I finish well, I should win my age group for the season series. Pray for me that I don't step on a root and twist my ankle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdscreations Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 I am testing my clove scent. Hopefully it goes well, because I need to make 12 votives and 3 jars of this scent. Then I need to make 12 vots of Honeydew Melon and 3 ball candles. So fun fun. Good luck to all of you with your shows this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
