Sold some candles
There is a person at my daughter's day care that bought two of my candles. She purchased the pecan pie ones. She said her dining room is a brownish color and they were close in color to that. I was surprised that she purchased them. Pecan pie is usually a scent for around the holidays.
I am hoping she tells other people and more and more people buy some candles. I would like to see a lot of the candles in my artfire shop sell. I want to make some more with different scents and colors. I also want to try some new wax for the candles.

Citronella candles
I just made some citronella candles. They are in the molds and are cooling down. They should be ready to remove from the molds tomorrow. These candles are actually a combination of lemon, citronella and eucalyptus scents. The citronella and eucalyptus scents are good at repelling bugs/mosquitoes. I added the lemon to balance out the citronella scent. The citronella scent is a very strong scent. To make these candles, I combined orange and black together. I wanted to have the black color to attract the bugs/mosquitoes and the orange to try to soften the black a little, but keep the dark color.
I have done some researching and mosquitoes are attracted to dark colors and that is probably the main reason for the dark color. Instead of the mosquitoes attacking people, they will be attracted to the dark color of the candle.
These candles come in round, square and octagon shapes. They would be good to have on hand during the coming summer months.

Bed Shopping
This past week, my husband and I have looked at a few beds and mattresses. It can be confusing. We have been looking at the tempurpedic beds. They are supposed to be really good and gives a lot of support. They are very comfortable. The problem is the cost. A lower end king size mattress is about $2000. This doesn't include the bed, the coverings needed or anything. Just the mattress.
We have also looked at some generic tempurpedic mattresses and wonder if they are made of the exact same material as the tempurpedic. I don't know how to be able to tell. They were very comfortable also.
If we get the tempurpedic, we can either afford the mattress and no bed or the bed and no mattress. The price of the tempurpedic is that expensive.

Clearance Sale
I am having a clearance sale in my shop. The candles in the clearance section are 15% off and the candles in the other sections are 10% off plus a free tart with any order.
The items in the clearance section are highly scented candles that sustained some damage when they came out of the molds or after. They still have the same great scents though. The damage will not affect the burning of the candle.
The other candles are also highly scented. I am trying to make room for some new scents I am working on. In order to do that, I need to clear out some of my inventory. This sale would be a great way to get one of my strongly scented candles at a sale price along with a free tart.
I just ordered some new molds so I can have more of a variety of candle shapes. This is what I have ordered: a tapered diamond with inverted top, a 6 point star, 5 sided pyramid, a cone and another egg mold.

colours and scents
I have been searching the web on descriptions of colours and scents. I couldn't believe there were not that many sites that gave descriptions of either. I would get definitions, but nothing that was really a good description. My solution is to start a blog post where people can post their descriptions of colours and descriptions. Anyone who wants to post their description of a colour or a scent, please feel free in doing so. I will then post this on my facebook page and artfire so people can use it if they are stumped and need some help in describing a colour or scent.
Just post your descriptions in the comment box below.
