I am a 65 yr old grandma and I need something
to make me feel productive. I am an avid
do it myself person. If I can make it cheaper
and better, then I do.
This is a hobby that I really enjoy. I'm
not trying to get rich making candles and
such. I just want to get a discount on the
products that I make for myself! I have always
enjoyed burning candles, wax melts and incense
sticks. About 6 years ago, I decided that
I wanted to make my own. So, I researched
it and also got deep into soaps and gift
baskets too. Now I have a handsome man in
my life that has a gator tail swamp boat.
So, I don't have time for the soaps and gift
baskets anymore.
I have been a yardsaleaholic for 40+
years.
I pick up containers to make candles
in when
I find them cheap at yard sales. That
saves
me and my customers money. My friends
and
family return some of the containers
so I
can clean them and use them again.
I started making my own laundry detergent
and fabric softener about 15 years
ago after
reading about what was actually in
the store-bought
products. I make my own for about 1/3
the
cost of store-bought products and my
skin
does not break out like it did years
ago.
And, I am keeping plastics out of the
landfills.
Recently, I read up on what is actually
in
our store-bought bread and stopped
buying
it. I got a bread machine and now make
all
of my own breads, buns and rolls.
I am an ordained minister and ready
to officiate
weddings. Text your prayer requests
to 409-330-3303
or prayers@lavon.me. I have minister
friends
and we exchange prayer requests with
each
other. I fully believe in the power
of prayer.
I know that I am alive today due to
folks
praying for me in '99 when I had a
bleeding
brain aneurism and massive intrusive
brain
surgery.
