What's your name? Laura How old are you? 40 Where do you live? A small rural town in Northeastern PA How long have you been making candles/soap/whatever? I've been making candles since 1998. How did you get started making candles/soap/whatever? I wanted to be self employed and loved to burn candles. It just fit. I only made beeswax candles in the beginning. I do mostly scented soy now. Are you married? Any kids? I have been married for 9 years to a very supportive guy. Our first baby is our border collie (10). Our other children are 7 (boy) and 6 months (girl). If candle making isn't your primary job, what do you do? My family is my primary job, of course. In the past while candle making, I've been a skidder operator for a logging company and matted artwork for a picture framing company. Anything else we should know? I love to bake sweet treats. My guilty pleasure is reading historical romance novels. I'm addicted to purchasing new fragrance oils.
