MissANW82 Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Hey everyone!It is so nice to be here. I just thought i would take a minute and introduce myself.My name is April and im from East Texas. I am new to candle making (just made my 5th batch) and so far so good. It is very addicting. Also i am doing my first craft show/sell this May in my hometown. Im so excited to learn and experiment and make as many candles as i can! I am currently battling a brain tumor that has reoccured for the second time so i have a little time on my hands and i like to stay busy. I also make web and graphic designs of all kinds. I am not married or do i have any children. I am just looking to make friends and share stories, advice and experiences with people who like to do the same things as i do. I love anything crafty from scrapbooking to candle making. Thanks everyone for your time and i look forward to getting to know each one of you. God bless.April:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candybee Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Welcome to the board! You are lucky to have a good supplier nearby. It will save you a lot in shipping fees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charmcandleco Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Welcome !!!! I have not tried Starrville myself, but everyone talks about how good there fragrance oils are. You are very lucky to have a supplier so close. I live in Georgia, there is only one supplier in my state and it is still 6 hours away.

Ravens Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Welcome to the addictive craft and to this board, April ! I also live in NE Texas. :smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aviator girl Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 April I haven't ordered much from Starville but here Creme Brulee gets good reviews. I also ordered their high maintenance and like that one. If they are close enough you should pick up some sample sizes of things you think you would like and test them out. I learned the hard way that it's more cost effective to try samples out before you buy the big sizes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
