Susan,
 
Did I ever tell you that I made candles and sold them as a business for a  
while a few years after I went blind?  I did this prior to 9 11  Soon  after 
that time folks got tight with their money and I switched  over to  doing 
candle art at craft fairs.  Candle art is granulated colored wax and  I had 
an array of glass jars that kids would do like sand art, but it was candle  
wax designs.  I then would stick a wick in their creations put some  sirranne 
wrap in the top and then screw on the top of the jar and add a bow and  
send them off carrying their proud one of a kind creation.  I made up  labels 
and stuck them on the bottomn of the jar that said "Created by Me!
 
I had  to stop the ccraft shows as my friend who was sighted that  helped 
me had a back problem which gradually worsened .
 
Oh well I really enjoyed myself doing that.  I was out with kids,  making 
some money and it was far from a steady 9 to 5 job.
