Donita Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 I had an order to make a "Lolly" candle. It is for a woman who lost her son a year ago. He died of Leukemia at age 6. She has his bedroom still the same. He loved to smell Tide detergent. My grandson, Van, who is 6 helped me make this. The boy's nickname was Lolly. I went to the store and put some liquid Tide on my wrist and came home and compared it to my scents. I decided to use Fresh Linen.....very similar. This is a hurricane chunk. By posting it here the memory of Lolly will be sent all over the world. Donita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
