Can someone tell me how to to make my own with out pointing me to another forum. Thanks so much

DIY e-juice is not incredibly complex, but there is some basic knowledge that must be well understood to do it properly and safely. For someone that asks precisely what you asked, we can only assume that you need to come up to speed on the basics. So here is some recommended reading that will tell you most of what you need to know, so that you will have some more specific questions we can help you with.

Safety first (a lot of things you should avoid doing):
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/announcements-news/144783-warning-e-liquid-diy-safety.html
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/diy-e-liquid/127760-diy-warning-please-read.html
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/diy-e-liquid/277267-purity-pg-vg-peg-short-version.html

And Stacy pointed you toward some very useful blogs. dannyv45 and Hoosier's blogs are very helpful for what you should do and how to do it:
E-Cigarette Forum - dannyv45 - Blogs
E-Cigarette Forum - Hoosier - Blogs

And I will also suggest a blog I created that explains some terminology and useful concepts:

The info can be overwhelming at first but it's really simple with the right measuring equipment and ingredients.

Seriously, it is not all that hard, and for someone with a bit of basic chemistry and math knowledge, most of that reading may be old hat. But on the other hand, it would not be very difficult at all to make yourself or others quite sick, or waste a bunch of money on ingredients and create nasty unvapable gunk, either.

I feel bad piling all of that reading on beginners that ask what seems like a very simple question, but if it were drop-dead easy, there would be no need for this sub-forum. So for Jimmy5878, check those links out, and then let us know how we can help. This is a friendly, helpful place populated by some great people that are eager to share their knowledge and experience. But, IMO, the price of admission for someone starting out from scratch is a bit of homework.

Right. I spent a couple days in all the great stickies and made up a good list of everything I needed before I ordered the first time. This is a great place to learn for sure. It does take a commitment but it's worth it. I got really lucky and the first e juice I made is still in my vaping rotation.
