What's your name? Carrie How old are you? 52 Where do you live? Texas How long have you been making candles/soap/whatever? 10 years How did you get started making candles/soap/whatever? A friend of mine took me to her cousins candle party. I purchased about 4 candles and spent $72! Holy carp! I then decided to try my hand and making candles. I ordered stuff online and my friend and I started making candles (after alot of research on the net). They came out OK. Continued to educate myself and lots of testing. Started pouring to sell in 2001. I would love to dive into soap, but just haven't yet. Are you married? Any kids? Yes and I have two boys (28 yrs old from 1st M and 14 yr old current M). If candle making isn't your primary job, what do you do? I make tarts/melts and have them in the local Tan Salon. I work as an Oil & Gas Accountant for an individual for the past 12 years. Anything else we should know? I sold my candle biz Jan 2011 to two wonderful ladies in my area. I live on a ranch with 2 horses, cows and have 5 dogs (Daxter, Nugget, Caden, Checkers and Bonnie - all rescues). I love to ride 4 wheelers thru the mud and work in my yard. My 78 yr old mother lives on our property in an apt we built for her 4 years ago. My oldest son is in the Navy Reserves (did a 4 year tour 2002-2006) and works full time. He will be leaving in March 2013 on a volunteer tour to Jabuti, Africa. My youngest is a Freshman this year and plays on the HS football team. Go Tigers!
