Enjoy Highly Fragrant Candles with Jody

To all who love highly fragrant candles and tarts made by candlemamma, I am writing this to post to let all of you know that I am not making or selling candles any more and my candle business has been taken over by a new owner. It has been my pleasure working with each and every one of you over the past six years. I have full confidence in the new owner as I have known her personally for several years.
The name of the new candles business is Candle Creations. Candle Creations is based out of Albia Iowa and the owner is Jody Garg. Jody wanted me to introduce her to all of you know where she can be located. Her email address is candlecreations@mchsi.com Jody's phone number is 641-895-8007. 128 6th Ave East, Albia Iowa is her address. Please contact her personally if you want to enjoy freshly made fragrant candles and tarts.
I am sure Jody will do a fine job making highly fragrant candles. It will take time and I take pride knowing that I can help her make candles during the first months that Jody’s candle business, Candle Creations is in business. You will have to contact Jody or Candle Creations personally if you want to have your candles made as I will no longer be making candles. I hope that candlemakers everywhere can learn from some of my posts.
It has been so much fun to make your fragrant candles in the past six years and I have learned a lot about candle making. I don’t regret a single moment. Due to the fact that my husband suffers from minor allergies and we are getting a little older in age he has asked me not to make candles anymore so I have to conform to his wishes. I fully intent to always enjoy highly fragrant candles in my home I just have to enjoy them a little less often now. Please find some time to enjoy all candles!

Fragrance Lists for Highly Scented Candles

There are so many wonderful highly fragrant candle enthusiasts in the world today. Candlemamma knows that candlemakers need a large fragrance and description list for those who enjoy high fragrances in candles and tarts. Always update that fragrant list with new and exciting fragrances. Keeping your candles made fresh to order and poured only after the sale, with each candle and tart being triple scented with the wonderful aroma of 100 percent candle fragrance oil is what will help to keep your candles loved by everyone. Candlemamma also knows that guaranting all candles and tarts to be 100 percent satisfied by the candle customer is also a proven way to keep and get new customers. Being easy to reach by email or by phone for those who take the time to try your triple scented of candles is very important. Candlemamma has been enjoying handcrafting candles high in fragrances for 6 years which means she has passed the 5 year mark. Time goes so quickly. Candlemamma has grown from making just paraffin fragranced candles to hand crafting cleaner burning richly scented soy candles and also making the newer wooden wicked scented soy candle. Packaged and labeled candles with simple packaging that you can reuse to store your own personal items in after the candles are gone is a wonderful way to keep candle customers coming back for more. Some have told Candlemamma that after the candles are used, the plastic containers still hold a wonderful high fragrance. This is why they can put the empty plastic packaging in a closet or dresser drawer to freshen up those closed in areas.

Enjoy Candles not Black Smoke

Wood Wick Candle Snuffer




There is hope for candle lovers who don't want to enjoy black smoke but still want to enjoy a wooden wicked candle which will crackle with fragrance. Some will want to go out and get a candle snuffer just like this one. Look for them at ease online, or go to a candle party at a friends house. Snuff out all candles so that you can enjoy a candle and not feel disappointed when you have to smell the black smoke coming from your candle after you extinguish it. Candlemamma wants you to be aware that you don't have to live with the black smoke. You can eliminate almost all of it with the use of a candle snuffer.

Unique Business Women for Candlemamma's Candles


Crafting hand made candles which are high in fragrance is what Candlemamma loves to do. Making triple scented soy votive, tea light, and jar candles has been taking alot of her spare time. It has been worth every minute. Recently Candlemamma has been invited to join a wonderful group of business women who handcraft hand made items. This friendly invite came from Erinkeys. She has a beautiful shop and I invite you to admire her lovely hand made jewelry items there. Her wonderful shop is called, "Femme Petal; Vintage Eye Candy".
Candlemamma knows that handcrafting handmade fragrant candles takes a lot of effort but it is also fun to do. Advertising candles can be very tedious work. That is why it is so nice to be invited to get free advertising and be able to to it in a really fun way. The "Unique Women in Business," is offering Candlemamma a chance to win free advertising for her blog on their lovely blog for one month. I am thrilled to get the chance to try to win. Winning isn't everything for Candlemamma. Having the chance to participate has been the best opportunity for her. She knows that meeting business women can be very enjoyable and is highly recommended from Candlemamma. I invite all women who handcraft hand made items to check out this blog and see that these unique business women are ready and willing to help you show off your lovely crafts.

Snuff your Highly Fragrant Candle Wicks

Use a Wick Snuffer for less black Smoke






If you enjoy highly fragrant candles like candlemamma does then you know that maintaining your candle is very important. If you enjoy scented candles please remember that a candle is made up of a blend of ingredients. Your wax choice, wick type, color, and fragrance oil play a large role in how much black smoke you see or smell coming from your highly scented candle. Candle ingredients will also determine how often you trim your wicks.
The most important factor I have found as a candlemaker who tests her fragrant candles is how you maintain your wick. All candles will smoke. Most candles smoke more when the wick is blown out. This is a fact. The best way candlemamma has found to remove black smoke from her fragrant candles when extinguishing them is by using a wick snuffer. Candlemamma received her candle snuffer as a gift and it has been the best gift she could receive for maintaining her candles and wicks. This snuffer is very easy to use and clean. The black smoke and wax that builds up on this snuffer cleans up easily. Brass coating makes this snuffer nice and slick. Just wipe with a paper towel immediately after using and the candle wax mess is gone. You won't be able to snuff your wicks out in hard to reach candles with this snuffer. That is why you need the other flatter end of the wick snuffer. The flat end you can use to dip your still burning wick into the melted liquid wax pool thus extinguishing your wick with no black smoke to fill your nose or house. Extinguishing your candle wick in the melted wax pool also gives a little added scented wax to your wick for future burning pleasure.
As a candle lover, candlemamma enjoys the rich and high fragrances of candles not the smell of black smoke. Candlemamma's husband sneezes alot when she doesn't use her candle snuffer. Candle snuffers are highly recommend by candlemamma. Look for candle snuffers at you local department store or online to use with all candles.
