I quit my job in retail today...to become a candlemaker. Yes, I may be crazy and being irrational somewhat...but, I just can't take the typical working world anymore. So, I'm turning to my passion and talent for making candles...and I am going to earn my living from it. I am ok with money for the next few weeks and I've already started cranking out candles. I will start out small by selling at flea markets and taking up special orders and hopefully I will be able to set up a little workshop/store one day. This all sounds SO cracked...lol...but, I am dead serious and for it to be such a kooky idea, I sure do feel GREAT about it. My boyfriend backs me 100% and that helps my confidence tremendously. I have worked in dead end, insignificant jobs for ten years now...and I am just WAY past the point of being concerned about "what they will think".

Dear Aurorajulialis,
Sounds like you have got your feet planted firmly on the ground.
It's pretty exciting for me to see someone taking their first steps at building a business. I'm behind you and I betting that as positive you sound, then it probably won't be long before you become successful at your chosen direction.
Okay, now that I have given you your kudu's it is time for me to put up or shut up.
Here is my proposition: you take the time to e-mail me and I will buy a candle from you.
If I get your e-mail I will give you my address and you will have to give me yours. I will put my trust in you to give me a reasonable price on any candle you make, then I will send you a money order for the proce of the candle and postage to ship it to me.
I like your attitude and am willing to trust you.
Way To Go,
jwcj

Sounds like a nice way to spend your time, and if you can make money at it, wonderful.
I collect candles.
I used to not even burn them, but I found burning them was what made it so fun.
I just bought a candy cane scented candle yesterday.
Mmmmm!
Candlemaker.
Nice title.
It has been a lost title for awhile.
I like it.
