I had no choice gardengater.I had a quad bypass in 03 and haven't made any candles except as gifts and myself since.
Well, at least you can enjoy making them as a hobby. I hope you are in good health now though. We like your posts and your great personality.
Favorite hobby? I'm a periodic hobbymaniac, jumping back and forth between them. The horses are all-year, gardening during summer, and reading, knitting, decoupage, stamps, pearls, whatever grabs my fancy during winter.
Knitting, painting, reading, candle and soap making...can't choose just one so I jump from one to another depending on my mood.
