Starla's Candle Making Best Picks

My pick of the best places on the web to go to for candle, crafts, instructions and some fine "mom and pop" wholesale shops. In no way do I receive any money for the links, nor am I advertising for others. It is strictly what I like.

Twilight - A guilty pleasure to read.

Not everything is about candles. With that said, I finally finished all four novels by Stephinie Meyer. Truly if you haven't read the books you are missing one of life's little pleasures. What's not to love, teenage girl in love with the bad boy high school vampire. Buffy and Angel move over, Bella and Edward are in the house.

I can't wait till Midnight Sun is released. I hear a rough draft was posted over the internet without Ms. Meyer's permission. Myself? I am waiting for the final printing.

My gal pal and I are going to see the movie today. Will let you know how that turns out. Sometimes movies don't do the book justice. We shall see.

Well, I am off to run the dogs.

Pat Crump and her primitive paintings.




Would you look at this! Primitive hand painted soaps! Don't you just love them. Held by the painted side, you rub soap from the bottom.

O, yes, I know they are not necessary, but when did that ever stop us gals from spending money.

I know my guy would never understand painted soap, would yours? The look they would have on their face as they pondered the ramifications of a simple hand washing. I can only imagine what they would say.

And, yes, I know hand painted soaps aren't practical, but.................I want them!
I want them so bad, I feel a lil devil comin on.
Every gal pal, who stopped by for coffee and a chat, would simply die of envy when holding a soap in hand.

Just think what great Christmas gifts painted soaps will make or should I keep their wherabouts a secret for my bathroom only................hummmmm.
