Happy Candlemas Day!  Candle Making!

Every year on Candlemas Day, our family enjoys making candles together.  One of our favorite kinds of candles to make is the rolled beeswax candles.  They are simple and lovely looking.  This year we decided to make them using Valentine colors.

Every year, I also really, really want to try hand dipping beeswax candles.  But every year, I get too nervous to try it.  Every year, that is, until this year!!!  I finally got up the nerve to give hand-dipping a try.  It was fun!!!  Now, they did turn out too pretty.  In fact, Ava said, "They look hideous."  But they were fun.  And they were a good first try.  We learned what worked, and we learned what did not work.  Next year, I bet they will look even better!   Next year, we will work towards improving them, and maybe some day, perfecting them!
