Hello! I just realized I posted my intro in the pinned topic and should have created my own, so I'm reposting. Can't figure out how to delete the other one. Been reading this forum for a while and figured I should finally sign-up! How old are you? I've gotta color these grays soon! Where do you live? Florida How long have you been making candles/soap/whatever? Hobbyist candlemaker for 25 years, since I was in college. How did you get started making candles/soap/whatever? A friend showed me how. I became obsessed. Are you married? Any kids? Yes & Yes If candle/Soap making isn't your primary job, what do you do? professional nerd Anything else we should know? For a while I taught candlemaking workshops, sold at craft shows and at my studio space, and wrote Candlemaking for Fun & Profit back in 2000. I took a little break to grow my family. Because, you know, hot wax and little kids just don't mix . In the past couple of years (now that my kids are older) I have restarted making candles on a more regular basis.
