Smells Wonderful !!

After a fun day at garage sales I plugged in my eletric candle warmer with a new scentsy wax tart and it is time to relax and think of something special to paint on all my treasures....  I was thinking about my candle warmer , a gift from a girlfriend, and I remembered making my own tarts.  I would gather up old candles around the house or buy some parafin and even some beeswax on ebay and I would very slowly melt them and add some wonderful scents from this candle supply:   http://www.candlesupply.com/scentcategory.html  I would put the wax and the scent into an old crockpot and melt and then spray a little pam on some cookie molds and slowly pour the wax into them.  Then put the mold in frig to harden faster...  Be sure to keep  your crock pot at a  warm  setting and not hot because of fire danger.  Unplug crockpot as soon as they melt if you are finished making tarts.  I loved my homemade tarts because I liked the shapes and I would display them in a bowl near my tart warmer....    Now it is time to put my feet up and have a nice glass of raspberry ice tea and relax and design...
