Passion Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Hello to all. I am returning after many years. I am a candle maker and use to have a business called Candle Dungeon. I recently moved from NY to AZ. Big change but loving the environment. My business came to a sad stop when my husband was laid off in 2008. Although l could have continued my love for candle making, l needed to work full time. Recently my fifth grade grandson contacted me and wanted me to share in a school project. He asked if would make long stem candle roses for him to sell. I have to admit that he brought out my "Passion" for candle making. So here l am, only now l will continue my passion in the west. This wasn't easy as I am still looking for candle suppliers and finding it to be a struggle. I hope to seek some friends, and help as l build back what l started many years ago.

kandlekrazy Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Welcome back to candle making & the forum! My candle bus was in AZ for a while and there were a couple of good local suppliers there. Look for the suppliers by state and start making calls!

Passion Posted November 14, 2015 Author Share Posted November 14, 2015 Thank you. I look forward to building new relationships and rekindle some older ones. I am working as a Para in the special Ed school system so during summer break l will be back East visiting family. That will be my opportunity to stack up on materials which l can bring back home. I do not fly so l can load up my car with all the wax l need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passion Posted November 15, 2015 Author Share Posted November 15, 2015 Just finishing up my grandsons project of roses. After receiving his packages he was very happy with my work. He couldn't stop thanking me for a great job. Well he's might be a little bias being my grandson. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Passion Posted November 17, 2015 Author Share Posted November 17, 2015 Wow Belinda you have many years on me. I have been a Para for 5 years in Middletwon, NY. I worked for the Special Ed program with the 3, 4 and 5 year olds. That was the joy of all my work experiences. It has opened the doors for me to get into the school system here in Arizona. I love it just as much as l did back home. I am still working in the SpEd class with the same age group. I am so blessed to have this job.
