Time for Candlemaking

Although we ordered our supplies from three different places at three different times, all three boxes arrived together yesterday.  The jars are beautiful, the wicks look large enough, and the scents . . . oh the scents.  My wife and I gave ourselves headaches smelling all of them last night.  They're a little potent in raw form but they will be wonderful once they're encased in beeswax.

Now begins the easy part, pouring the samples for the farms to which we plan to market the candles.  Whether they sell or not, one thing is for sure - our house is going to smell wonderful for the next few days while we mix and pour the candles.  The last time I poured the pumpkin souffle candles we all gained a few pounds - the sugary scent caused us all to overeat for a few days.
