I am reading the Girl in Green, which is very interesting, and about to make candles. I am trying to use up some of the craft supplies I have accumulated over the years. Ten pounds of candle wax will be gone shortly. Now I just need to make several batches of soap, and things will be back in hand, uh, somewhat.becksterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02147945810663254093noreply@blogger.com
