(Dublin, Ireland)
As Grant and I travel and settle briefly in a place, we don’t just fill our free time sightseeing. We’ve been enjoying doing domestic things as well. I love the arts and craft stores in the city. Just browsing through, I’ve come to the conclusion that the Irish are a creative lot.
At one of the craft stores, I saw a candle-making kit and thought it would make a fun project. Grant and I are good with our hands, so we tried it out. We found candle-making to be fun and enjoyable. The kit even came with fragrance, a cross between Irish Spring soap scented and “ocean breeze”.
