Are you someone who contributes to the $2Billion candle industry? Yes, that's a "B" for billion! Many of us do spend more than our share of that total. Why do you suppose that is?

Well, for starters, they make great gifts. They also work well in establishing a decorating theme for a home. They run the gambit from very plain to intricately designed masterpieces.

And, of course, the prices vary according to type, size and fragrance. Have you ever thought about trying your hand at making them yourself? Or just maybe you are looking for a hobby to give you a break from the daily grind.
