justajesuschick Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 My son and his family are in from out of town. My daughter-in-law is very talented and crafty. I am not! She is eager to learn how to make scented wax. Melting wax now to make Pumpkin Egg Nog and also Graham Crackers (she chose these two) wax brittle with her.

Scented Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Pretty sure a lavender will be in the pot and some leather/cowboy scents as long as it doesn't get absolutely unbearable as far as heat goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ksranch Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 moonshine... suede?? tell me more??? Is it something you mixed = or an oil you bought.. from where? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonshine Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Ksranch- it's Moonworks Suede I got on pre-buyIt is fabulous- Not an overpowering leather or suede scent _ I smell more tobacco and tonka bean In melts it threw strong and so far in my candle it is super strong but may be a wicker upper- it might catch up as I am on the 2nd burnI bought it for my "western collection" and it fits perfect- I think it will be called "wild west"!

Chefmom Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Testing last weeks pours, last night was Sage and Lemongrass. MMMmmmmm. I like that one.Now burning Twilight Woods. I like it, hubbie LOVES it. It's a sexy scent!!It's tough testing with the a/c running. I adjusted the air flow, but one side of the room fills with scent, the other does not. It make it the whole way back to the back door, but not two feet past the a/c into the corner with the computer.Go figure. I'm playing with paint tomorrow, so no pouring until the end of the week!!
