Sweet and New Scripture Candles

Hallelujah!  It is finished!  And I'm all smiles!  :o) 
I've re-designed the scripture candles, printed the new labels and they're selling like (not hotcakes)... more like birthday cakes.  I introduced the newly designed label at my latest craft show and got a really, positive response from the customers.  Everyone loved the ministry of the candles and I've even added 2 new scents:  Sunny Days and Sweet Life - both very popular now.  Yes, I'm still using all-natural soy wax. 

These are my sweet and new scripture candles or should I say "Sweet News" Candles?  They contain sweet news from the Word of God. News so sweet that it encourages, uplifts, inspires, comforts and draws you closer to God. Each candle contains bible scriptures and a short inspirational story that explains the "Sweet News", so that we have a better understanding of how to apply God's divine instructions in our daily journey. They're "...sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb" (Psalm 19:10).

Here are 3 of the candles from the "Sweet News" collection.  I've also included pics of my craft show table setup.  Enjoy! :)



But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Matthew 6:33 kjv



Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest... Matthew 11:28, 29 niv




Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. Psalm 23:6 kjv



This is my cute little setup...

  1. Just saw your candles at the Type A link party. Do you do wholesale pricing? I buy items for my church bookstore. I'm not sure where you're located so shipping might make it too costly but I'd like to check it out.

  15. ~Hi there 'Something for Everything',
    You are so right! There's no telling what we can dream of and create when we allow our imaginations to just flow. Glad you like my candle creations. Thanks for stopping by to comment.

    ~Hi Janel,
    Thanks for stopping by and showing some blog love. I hand-poured the candles and designed the new lables for them. My husband actually bought the "sweet" box for me and it just all seemed to work perfectly for my setup. The scent of the candle on the "sweet" box is actually called Sweet Life. See what i mean? Perfect!
