Time to get re-organized and ready

Summer is coming to an end sadly, however that means it's time to prepare for the holiday season.

Actually, the preparation started a month or so ago but the time has come to redo our workshop / studio a bit to improve the "flow" a bit.

I'm excited to get everything setup a little nicer and then getting back to production. There are so many ideas right now that we are testing and a few things that are on the way out.

Enjoy your Sunday and don't work to hard.

Once everything is done I'll be sure to post up some pictures for you to check out where we work.

I had a great time shopping a few thrift shops for photo props. There are some really great things to be found.

New Soaps!!!!

We're proud to announce our 4 new soap additions.

The same length and width as our standard size bar, these bars are 1" thick instead of our normal 3/4".

How much of a difference does that make? These great soaps weigh in at an average of 6 oz. compared to our normal 4.5 oz. bar!

Be sure to check our etsy shop - http://crazytimescandles.etsy.com as well as our website www.crazytimescandles.com to see more about these great new soaps.

Have a great day,

Business cards - everywhere you go

How would you like to be able to have your business cards available for people where ever your car was.

Imagine going into a store and having people take your business cards while you shop.

Last week we came across a way to do just that.

It's called Grab-A-Card and it does work. This neat case holds about 40 cards at a time.

We're expecting to have our vinyl lettering for our minivan windows done in a few weeks as well which should greatly help and get more people grabbing cards.

Grab-A-Card is a simple, plastic box with a spring loaded cover that attaches to pretty much anything. It uses two 3M pressure sensitive tape strips to adhere to your car without damaging a its surfaces. We put ours on our back window.

After the storm we had come through today we got a great idea of how "weatherproof" the case really is.

When you go to wash your car, you can easily just tap on the bottom of the card holder and only the plastic back base stays on the window.

For a mere $10.00 at http://www.grab-a-card.com or your local Sign-A-Rama you can have one as well.
