BEHIND THE SCENES: AWAY FROM PAINTING With candle drops almost weekly through December, I was very busy packing and focusing on orders, thank you so, so much! I hope you all enjoyed the candles over the festive time! As soon as the last bags went to the post office, I conked out, and spent time with my children for their Christmas school break.
