You never know what it is that your children will take with them from their childhoods...Aretha remembers summers in Maine featuring the making of the sand candles on the last night of our stay. There was the one summer that we
tried to fit the Dairy Queen in with the building of the sand candles, leaving them in the sand while we went for our Blizzards only to return and find them stolen! Then there was the summer of the heart shaped candles and the year of the embedded shell look. We were so proud of those candles. We wrapped them up and gave them for Christmas presents only to watch the dismayed faces of our recipients as they dashed off to grab the handy vac to clean up all the excess sand!
Aretha used her own method this year with half congealed wax and a late insertion of the wick. However they were beautiful and I was complimented for allowing her to make her own variation on the process!
