For months, I have been diligently reading this board and "studying" up on candle-making. Due to time and money constraints, I haven't been able to do to much (except read and soak up info.) Wellllllllll, I casually mentioned to co-worker that I've been thinking about making candles (I'm a big crafter and co-workers know that, lol). I told her I just wished it wasn't so expensive....Next day, she proudly informs me she bought me a present and went out to my car, to find she gave me 12 slabs of wax. LOL. Apparently, she wanted to try it and never did. It's in unmarked boxes, so I have no idea as to what kind of wax it is She thinks it came from Michael's as it was a gift to her originally. So, here I sit...with 12 slabs of unknown wax........
