"A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle."
James Keller
I've been looking forward to writing this post for quite a while now. I mentioned, what seems like forever ago now, that I had gotten a crafty opportunity courtesy of Sykes Cottages to try something on my bucket list. I got an email from the lovely Leanne and she explained that Sykes Cottages had worked alongside six very talented craft bloggers to create Simple Crafts: A Guide for Beginners. Simple Crafts: A Guide for Beginners is an illustrated graphic guide featuring six simple craft tutorials that are easy to make, inexpensive and use little specialist equipment – making them ideal to create at home or away. They were looking for bloggers to try out a couple of the crafts and share their results and their thoughts on them. After seeing candle making on my bucket list she thought this might be right up my alley as candle making was one of the simple crafts.
I was slightly overwhelmed as it's the first time I've been given the opportunity to do anything because of my blog. Let alone something I can tick off my bucket list that I have wanted to do for a long time! Naturally I jumped at the chance.
A couple of weeks later I got a parcel in the mail. They sent me the equipment needed for two of the Simple Crafts, scented candle making and spiral earrings. They also sent me a small budget of £10 for customisation and some other goodies. I was completely blown away.
