We love making candles - and this book rocks!

My children and I found the joy of candlemaking last summer.  We found a local homeschooler who was selling their supply of candle-making materials, and made the investment - it was a bargain.  We received wax, wicks, containers and a double-boiler - and much, much more.

Well, as we searched the library for books on candle making, we found a book that we loved - and it makes the art of candle-making so easy and simple.  The Candlemaker's Companion by Betty Oppenheimer is a must-have book, especially if you are interested in candle-making basics.  The book takes you from rolled candles to poured candles to dipped candles and more.  We also LOVE the troubleshooting chapter (and we've used it quite a bit.)

This book is highly recommended by our family!
