  You want to know what I learned today? Sealing wax melts at a much higher temperature than candle wax. At least my finger finally stopped hurting. I have a blister, but it's not that bad. When I got to work, I decided to find out what the actual temperature is, and it's 170 degrees F. Regular candles melt at about 60-75 degrees.
So that explains the surprise and the searing pain...:) Steph, give you mom a hug from me, too. I think about your mom and Greg all the time and I hope they are doing well. Oh, and I think the decorating contest is off. Danielle made the best suggestion I've heard so far, and it's so obvious I can't believe I didn't think of it first. Decorate the bedroom in faeries. It's so me! And so painfully obvious! She's turning down the prize, though.
I guess she just doesn't have the money to decorate for me...;) But she did tell me about another faery painter, so now I have Brian Froud (www.worldoffroud.com), Amy Brown (www.amybrownart.com) and Stephanie Pui-Mun Law (www.shadowscapes.com). I was pretty familiar with the first two, but Stephanie is amazing as well. I included the links in case you wanted to go look at their work. Pretty stuff! Yea!
