Hobby Lobby Wax

As most of you know, I do not make the wax, my friend - Lisa - makes the wax at her warehouse. I am just the internet site, along with scented bears, candle scents, and wicks. I use to do it all, but no longer.

Lately, I have had a few people ask me about Hobby Lobby's wax. So yesterday, when I found myself out of wax, the first thing I did was panic and the second was scream. The third thing I did was call Lisa, she was in another state for the holiday and wouldn't be back till Monday. No help there......

Since those bears still have to be made and people are counting on me for some of their holiday presents, I need to find some wax then and now. So I thought, why not......

I ran to Hobby Lobby, picked up 40 pounds of wax at a great fifty percent off price and brought it home. Popped it into the roaster and melted about 20 lbs down. Added the steric and vybar. Then I started it through my spray machine. Worked great! The scent mixed perfect, the cold scent throw was great on the cooled bears.

I gotta say, as long as you add the right ingredients to the Hobby Lobby paraffin, it will work for you. So if they have a fifty percent off sale in your area, grab all the wax you can. I wish I had purchased more now. It was a steal at 50 cents a pound.

Really Great Salt Dough Hearts

I loved this crafting site. They created adorable puffy salt dough hearts and I just love these.

I tried to make these the other day in my kitchen. Nope, didn't work for me, but then I don't have a working oven.

I am pretty sure, she used self rising flour, gave a coating of milk or egg to the salt dough cut outs before baking. This would account for the brown edges peaking through the red water color paint.

I am sure she used water color paint, it would give the nice "see through" window to the crusty brown color underneath.

Her products are soooo cuty perfect.

Take a look and give me your opinion.
