Yep, same here. They look at me like 'Why is it taking so long'. I would have never thought it would take this long either. I just tell them, "Well there is A LOT more to it than sticking a wick in a jar and filling it with wax" I see your name says "RN" behind it. So, I assume you're a nurse too I'm just tired of 12hr shifts. Love my patients. I get attached to them easily! I just would LOVE to made the candle business work out for many reasons. It's a frustrating joy! Best way to put it Ha ha. One day I think I'm almost there, and the next I'm not seeing any light at the end of the tunnel. Funny how drastic my opinion changes from day to day though. I'm getting ready to test burn 6 jars tonight and then - hopefully then,,,, crossing fingers & toes... then I'll be almost ready! I look at them now sitting on the counter,,, afraid to light them and see failure Lol.....
