This was like a time travel voyage to the past when I last made my own candles! Thanks for the great reminder of how much fun it can be. Your instructions were concise and guaranteed great results if followed.
The O'Neil Sisters
Candlemaking is kind of an old-school craft, isn't it?! We're glad we could remind you of how much fun it is. We hope you'll get back into making candles -- let us know how yours turn out. And have fun!

You both did a wonderful job with this class. The way you switch back and forth without talking over the other or overshadowing was great. I have made candles in the past and wish I would have had this class beforehand. I learned a lot.
The O'Neil Sisters
Wow, Brenda! That is so nice to hear! We hope this gets you excited about making candles again. It's such a blast, and the result is awesome! Have fun!
