Exciting news!!

Exciting news!! Today one of my co-workers, who is also a dear and close friend to Brent and I, was placing an add in the newspaper. Well the women that came out to see him, must have said something to strike his fancy, because he told her all about my candle making. It's funny because she sat down in his office and he called me in to meet her, and the first thing she asked was if the candle on the desk was one of mine. I laughed and said no, I don't think I'm quite up there with the professionals yet, but she was interested and I gave her a business card, and my blog address. How exciting is that?! I was all smiles for the rest of the afternoon. I can't wait to start making some more candles. I haven't had the time with all the hustle and bustle in the insurance business after the new year. But that really struck a strong cord, and I am ready to dive in. I love what I do, but I would really really love to have a candle business on the side, something that I could do to nurture my creative side. I'm just so excited!! You'll have to excuse me, I am quite the dork. I've even been thinking about getting some business cards made, so I can start networking. Hope all is well with everyone!!

These are the first "prototypes" for the candle company that I plan on starting. Really I'm just going to experiment at first and find out what works, then I'll look at selling them. But I have to say, these are my first candles ever, and I'm very excited. Thanks to Brent's mom, she taught me that making them wasn't that hard, after she walked me through, step by step. Thank you so much for all your help!! I'm so excited, and my kitchen is being made over into a candle factory. If you've never made candles before you should try it, I love it, and you will too!!
