Hi everyone,

i have had my first attempt at candlemaking as i want to make some wax melts for xmas pressies. Cant belive how easy it was. Also made some handscub which makes your hands so soft. All in all a productive few days. instructions for hand scrub on my blog and more info about candlemaking.

Hi hope you dont mind me joining in?

I made some candles a few months ago and would just like some feedback please i.e. would you be pleased to receive this or not??

There are a few pics in my (new) blog as I don't think I can post them here yet.

Many thanks for any advice xx

Jess your candles are lovely hun. I'm now following your blog too. Try the handscrub it is so easy to make and looks quite effective. I will be posting some more scrub receipes on my homepage so ikeep your eyes peeled!

Monkeysallysaybo im not sure how long it lasts as its the firts one i have made. I would say indefinately though you would probably have to give it a good stir if you making it months in advance as the oil may settle
