samandkennasmom Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Hi All!I am just curious as to what is your all's favorite part of candle making, soap making, bath and body products? Do you like the making of the product itself, packaging it all for selling? The setting up and doing craft shows? Coming up with ideas for new products? Or any other part I missed? I know the actual selling is the best by far, but I think my favorite part is the packaging it when I get it all made, looks so nice and like ya really got something done!! Can't wait to hear your responses!! Have a great night!Hugs~Michele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NaturallyTru Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I like power pouring of candles. It's soothing to me when I'm on a roll. I alos like watching customers sniffing and oohing and aahing at craft shows.Trudi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faerywren Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I love coming up with new things and having it work. I love packaging and seeing all the finished soaps lined up and ready to go. I hate packing for craft shows, but love when I get all set up. Okay, there isn't much I don't like. Sorry.~Julia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I enjoy creating interesting projects, especially if the project is challenging, tedious & difficult. I hate selling but I love it when my bank balance goes UP... I really enjoy burning my candles the most. It makes me feel good when I light one and enjoy it all the way to the bitter end - something I had rarely experienced until I began making my own.

WillowBoo Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 this is all so new to me, but I liked designing the label. Now that it's going to change, I'm enjoying the project again. I like making the candles at my leisure. When I am presured to do them, it's too much like work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugtussle Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I love making candle tins. I can pour all day and not get bored. I love pouring these tins for fundraisers because they are for a GOOD purpose.This Thanksgiving Holiday, I took the time to burn candles in every room and am just amazed; I make such a lovely product. I did stop and "smell the roses." Carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monvi33 Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I love making them...I go to my happy place when I make candles, I don't have to pay attention to anything else, and it's peaceful for me. Making candles is my alone time where I don't have my 4 year old at my heals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I love how when I make either soap or candles the whole house smells yummy! I also feel a sense of pride and accomplishment when I have my craft show tables all set up. Everything looks so fresh and clean and smells so good customers come to smell all the soap and candles and end up getting candlenose. Thats a good feeling for me!

chuck_35550 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Getting fos in the mail. It's just like Christmas all year long. My favorite thing is to go down to the lab and open the cooling box and see that all the candles are perfect with no wet spots or blemishes. That's a rare event to have 100% success. It gives me goose bumps just talking about it.Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
