I know its been forever since I've been on here to give an update. The month of August was completely INSANE! Weddings, birthday parties, traveling to visit family, family traveling to visit us, I'm ready to be at home for awhile.
Kymberlyn's big 1st birthday was VERY successful! It was a fantastic turn out, she survived the whole day and was in great spirits! She got WAY too many toys of course and quite a few super cute outfits for this winter!
She had her own birthday cake that Grandma Joyce made and it was hilarious watching her eat it. She was so careful to ONLY eat the frosting!!! We tried getting her to eat some of the cake itself and she picked it up and threw it away! haha
With all the activities we had going on every single weekend it made it nearly impossible to do anything else but prepare for the next weekends worht of activities! But now that that's all over for a little while maybe I can get back to my hobbies...
In addition to my yoga practice which I am still thoroughly enjoying, I've gotten into candle making as well! Its actually alot easier than I even thought it would be, though it'll be awhile before I can compete with Yankee Candle, mine are DEFINITELY better than anything I've ever tried from Wal-Mart, Kmart, Shopko, etc.... I'm only doing container candles at the moment, but I'm going to start doing some experiementing with some firestarters for our wood stove.
I started using a 100% soy wax, just because I really like the thought of using sustainable products. Its the same price as parafin wax so why not right? Help the farmers!!! It will definitely keep me entertained this winter when its not exactly "nice" outside... But I am looking forward to using the wood stove again!
I posted that thought on Facebook the other day and got message after message telling my how insane I am! hahaha I like the wood stove! I love the type of heat it puts off and the warm, cozy feeling I get from it. I didn't say I love winter or having to go outside and freeze off my unmentionables!!!
As I create more candles and other fun goodies I'll probably post some pictures. I would like to know, what is everybodys favorite candle scent? Or any scent for that matter, perfume, cologne, foods, sweets, nature smells... I wanna know!
i can't believe she's one already! Still a cutie. oh-and i think you should share your candle recipe :)
