My favorite candle...Thanks for the great giveaway!<br /><br />My favorite candle memory is rolling up beeswax to make a candle when I was about 8. I convinced my mother she had to light it that night. I wasn't as careful a crafter as I am now, and the middle collapsed. My mother's table still bears a small scar.<br /><br />Now, my favorite use for candles is as a bathroom accent / fragrance - lit during pendragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00748054647085780132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5710525766736736547.post-58540330785019722232012-07-03T20:23:41.832-04:002012-07-03T20:23:41.832-04:00How exciting!

It is one of our favorite ways to wind down in the evenings. Living in LA though, the mosquitos and heat tend to run us inside during the summer.
