First off, do moms like handmade Christmas presents? She says she does, but she also says she likes my art projects.... creepy. In past years I have about done everything there is to do with soap, carved it, melted it, reformed it, twice, burned myself with it, and rescued it out of my dog's mouth, I have done the same things with candles, except for the dog thing... whatever. I have a wood carving kit, and a wood burning kit, and enough wood to build a small house. Any ideas. I am 13, so nothing too complicated... Yes I am very responsible with the wood burner and carver.... most of the time : )
