I was headed out to the garden but the sun whispered through the overcast clouds…”go back in”.
I was looking through a cabinet for something and came across ‘the dreaded big blue bin’ of candle scraps. Oh the moment I dreaded had finally arrived – recycling the old candle wax.
After a delightful cup of coffee… what a wonderful way to spend a cloudy, rainy Saturday – smooth jazz in the background sets the tone for this project.
I laid all the pieces on the floor – separated by color. Dug up some spent paper roll scraps, gathered my tools for the project along with some glass jars… and set myself to the task.
The last time I recycled my candle wax was 13 years ago. Once I get started on a project of this magnitude and potential mess… I know I must commit to seeing it through, because it may not come again for another decade.
By the time I poured my last candle… the afternoon had rolled in and the cup of coffee had turned to a glass of wine. Now the only task is to decide which one to light first.
