Over the last few months i have rekindled an old passion for candle making after hours of melting & pouring, trying different fragrances & different types of wick i have finally came up with my favorite combination for all the recycled jars i have been collecting. I have tried heating the jars up to different temperatures & i can assure you that they are perfect for the candles burning so no explosions with glass & hot wax flying all over the place. I have been burning them for a while & there is no way i would be chancing that with my children in the house if i was not 100% certain they are safe. It has been great trying all the different waxes & waiting to see how they turn out, my house has never smelt so wonderful not that it smelt bad before the candles but it is a wonderful smell of all the beautiful fragrances mixed together the house really does smell like a candle shop!
The last few weeks have been hectic the kids broke off for their very long Summer break 2 weeks ago & by the first weekend they were "bored" already So in between candle making , making the odd piece of jewellery doing my day job which i am really struggling with at the moment & planning my little boys 5th birthday party I have been tyring hard to keep them amused we were hoping to go away for a few days but we are having new windows & doors fitted in a few months (hopefully) so all my not so big piggy bank is going on redecorating once this has finished. Dylan turned 5 on Tuesday their & he had a great day i booked the local hall which was so cheap i am now going to be booking it for both of their birthdays from now on, it was big enough for the bouncy castle we booked. The bouncy castle went down a treat for the kids but i really do not have a clue how it costs so much but if i ever have enough money in the bank to buy one i am going too, talk about easy money it cost £50 for 2 hrs all the man did was bring it in set it up which took all of 10min & that was being generous he left it & came back 2 hrs later took it down (another 10min) then left with my £50, i want his job!!! Now i am havering i am totally knackered so am away to stick my feet up & veg in front of the telly while the kids are hopefully going to be heading to their bed quietly(fingers crossed). Have a good weekend when it comes everyone :)
