I LOVE the final business card. The look is absolute! I was able to save it my computer and will try to print them off in the morning. I guess the next big hurdle is the actual label for the jars. I saw the sights you sent me, again I am going to check them out in the morning. Thanks for scoping the net for me and coming up with some sites that I have not looked at yet.
Hi all.....I just wanted to take a quick minute to let everyone know how much I appreciate your support and patience while I put this business on it's feet! I have run into a snag with the bottle company I was going to purchase from. Their shipping cost is going to be higher than the actual total cost of the jars I was going to order. If I stay with this company my cost to customers would have to go up by about $.75 cents. Being a young company I am not happy about the prospect of doing that. One of the purposes of this business was to bring people a quality candle with a great scent throw at a very reasonable price. The company I was looking at is called "Specialty Bottle". I have just about pulled my hair out searching the net for another company I can do business with. I am looking for a brown amber recycled glass jar approximately 6 to 9 ounces. If anyone has any suggestions or sites that I can check out please please send them along. I want to get up and running but DON'T want to compromise my product. Thanks!!

Welcome to my candle shop blog. This is a first for me as I have never "blogged" before. My daughter-in-law has had to walk me through this like a baby taking their first steps! lol She also put this page together for me. Lots of talent there huh? Anyway, this is just the beginning of what I hope is going to prove to be a great start to a business I have wanted to put into motion for the past several years now. My candles are 100% natural right down the recycled brown glass jars and black lids. Even the paper labels are done on recycled paper. My wax is 100% pure soy, no additives. The wicks come from Germany and are 100% hemp, the oils are organic, and the color dye is made from natural products as well. It took me several months to find all the "right" materials I wanted for this candle but am now on my way. I will have a complete scent list and candles will be ready for sale within the next two weeks! I am so excited about this. I make them from my home, in a room I have set aside that we now call, "the candle room", so this is also a "cottage candle" in that it is being manufactured in a small home setting instead of in a big factory giving off toxic fumes. I will try to come back here each day and post updates on the progress. Thanks for visiting my site and hope that you come back again!

Love the look!
This is a great looking business card. Just a few "tweaks" and I think it will be perfect. Drop the first line down a bit so it isn't so close to the actual name of the company, and take out the space between the next two lines so that they are more centered in the middle of the card. I think once that is done this mockup will be ready to go to print.
