Candle making and Hurricane on the way!

We are only a few hours away from Hurricane Irene hitting us. It has been raining for several hours now and the roads were already starting to flood.
We took a drive to Costco and got a few bits and pieces for dinner tonight....hoping the power stays on long enough to cook it!!!
Then went and brought a new dinner set. We have had our eye on it for a few weeks now and decided to just buy it! I will take some pics and post them once it has come out of the dishwasher!

Last Sunday I did my first candle making class. I was pleasantly suprised as it was not at all what I was expecting! The lady Sherry who runs it use to have a business in town but had to close it due to health reasons. She is just starting back up again and runs the classes from her home at the moment.
Well I thought we would be basically pouring wax into moulds, making pillar styled items WRONG!!! Take a look at the pics and see just how fun it was!!

 This pic is the final product of all items made by me!!

This is a fruit parfait

Anyone for some ice tea with a slice of lemon??

Apple Martini.....smells good too!

Hot chocolate with floating marshmellows

Just a little pot of nice smelling gel :)

Last but not least, the Strawberry shortcake!

The rain and wind are starting to pick up a little now, nothing too strong. just like a typical Aussie wet day :)
