Grin!  I normally type this sort of message in the Crafting echo, but glad to 
chatter here too!
Candles make great, practical gifts for very little money.
BH> Since you said you make lots of candles, I would be interested in any
BH> recipes and info you can give me on what and/or how you do them.
I make the big fat type, that actually are useful in a storm.  I'd call them 
storm candles except there is a candlemaker variety with same name that 
basically looks like a hollowed out candle so the exterior provides a 
windbreak to the center shell that burns.  Sounds pretty, doenst work with 
diddly if you burn it more than 15 mins  * Origin: SHENK'S EXPRESS Norfolk VA 757-486-3057 28.8 Dual (1:275/100)
