Hey everyone! I'm new to the board, so I'm listing my get-to-know-me answers below 🙂
What's your name? Kristen
How old are you? 42
Where do you live? Upstate South Carolina
How long have you been making candles/soap/whatever? I just started making wax melts a couple of months ago. I started making melt and pour soap, whipped sugar scrubs w/cream soap base, & whipped shea butter (to name a few lol) around 10 or 11 years ago. I made my first batch of CP soap about a week and a half ago!
How did you get started making candles/soap/whatever? I bought a melt and pour soap kit years ago just because it looked like fun! I have made quite a bit and still do from time to time. I decided to make wax melts a couple of months ago so I could choose the scents I like and simply because I love to play with color in any form. And I just enjoy crafting! I am thinking about selling melts at some point because I love making them, and I can only use so many before I get buried in them! 😂
Are you married? Any kids? I'm married to the love of my life and one of my best friends! We'll celebrate our 18th anniversary this August. We have an amazing 13 year old daughter, who is our pride and joy. She's also our rainbow baby!
If candle/Soap making isn't your primary job, what do you do? I'm a cancer registrar, which is basically a cancer data specialist. I collect and report diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes of patients with cancer for the purpose of public health planning, statistics, and research. 😊
Anything else we should know: I really love soooo many crafts! I enjoy diamond painting, resin (both epoxy and UV resin), I love to crochet, I knit a little bit (not very well!), I sew a little, have done a little quilting (currently working on a 1 inch hexagon English paper pieced quilt with Tula Pink fabrics!), I make stickers and vinyl decals with my silhouette machines, and I love to do decorative planning!
