Hi Donna; Welcome to the board and candle making. I started out doing melt and pour soap, then lotions and creams. I worked with my girl friend on them. Then I decided I wanted to make candles. I was one them people that thought...how hard can they be....Boy, did I find out. It's fun though. Each one is different. It's an addicting hobby. I have sold a few. Have done one craft show locally and one open house type thing. The craft show was fun and rewarding. It was last November. The open house sucked. It was just a couple weeks ago. Keep your chin up, do your research, and practice. Don't be afraid to ask questions....before long you will be answering questions yourself. I belong to several boards...this is the best.
