It's been 4 years since I've had the desire/motivation to be creative. I guess I left part of my artsy self back at the trailer... that's the last time I can actually remember being motivated enough to make candles and enjoy doing so. I owe it all to Miss Courtney and her broken flower barrette...who knew a few flower petals and some hot glue would get the ideas flowing. Anyway, as I repaired Courtney's flower I thought to myself... I can do this and I can do this much better. Pretty much the same thing happened when I started making my candles in 2003...previously I had gone to Baltimore for a show..Today Is The Day, i believe..when in this awesome shop I saw a 7day candle with a sticker of Bettie Page slapped on it...with a $15 price tag...back then I thought.. I can do this and I can do this much better.. I did and with only a $10 price tag. The first few years I sold them at Ocean Mystique I did pretty well.. even sold some on eBay..hopefully now I'll keep this vibe I have going for me and eventually I'll get outta the grocery biz and start my own thing. Everyone that knows me well...knows that it's a dream of mine to be self sufficient and have my own business....i'm soo stoked. Go check out my "artsy pics album"... the flower I made for Courtney. rightfully named "Inspiration"  (although I forgot to get a picture of the back...it's secured to the barette by a red heart shaped piece of felt)....let me know what you guys/gals think. xoxo KK
