I think I am at the point in my business that I would like to get a website and don't have a clue how to begin. I'm not in the position to pay the high cost of having someone do it for me so has anyone created their own website? Any advice? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hello

In case anyone is having problems with bleeding candles, check your U.V.inhibitor. Ours started to bleed really bad and we could not figure it out. Tried less fragrance, tried less heat with heat gun,tried stirring longer,tried everything and then finally realized the only change we had made was the use of inhibitor. Made a batch without and wadda ya know, NO BLEEDING.

The bad news is that I have been diagnosed with the West Nile Virus, and the experts say that I will have this thing for a few more months, the virtigo was just one more symptom that I have experienced with this "Evil" virus. I would like everyone to be at ease and know that I was not and am not contagious, you have to be bitten by a mosquito to get this darn bug.

Someone, with WAY too much time on their hands is taking names from this website and changing their addresses, but using their names and sent me over 70 annoying e-mails over the last 2 days. Is this happening to anyone else? What can be done so people like this can't get our e-mail addresses? I don't know if they are trying to send a virus ,but the e-mails all say " see the attatched file for det

We know many of us here on the Chandlers Guild have web sights, so we are curious if there has been any talk, or planning, to have a page that simply lists the members company/member name and link it to their web sight.

We do not see the harm in it, and there would be no privacy issues since nothing other than the company/member name and link would be shown.

A very warm Thank you to Lynette and Mike, Timlinn and Jim for the gracious and yet businesslike Congress weekend.

I found many new friendships and tremendous networking for myself and saw it going on for the others that were there to contribute and learn.

I was impressed with the professional looking products that had been brought to share with those of us attending. They were truly inspiring. Congratulations to all sharing their beautiful products and success with us.

Recently, our business "A Farmers Wife's Crafts" purchased a large quantity of votive shrink wrap. As members of the Chandlers we would like to share our savings with you. If interested please contact Pat or Kelly at callins@netins.net.

Thank you.
