Black Friday

I spent Black Friday with Shawn and my parents in the greater Seattle area. It was a pretty busy day. We started it off at Waxen Art; a do-it-yourself candle place in Kent. First you start off choosing what shape and what smell you want your candle as Shawn is modeling in the photo below. I chose to make a star, Shawn and my Dad made circle pillars, and my Mom chose to make a 3 wick brick. Next, we all chose some colors from all of the bins of wax pieces.

Here's Mom and Dad scoping out the situation and trying to figure out exactly how to do this...Shawn models how to chop up the wax pieces to make a beautiful mosaic of purples. He was making a lilac candle for his Mom for Christmas.

And here I am gracefully modeling my star mold and wax pieces.

And the finished products! Aren't they just beautiful???? We were all so proud. Mom's is definitely my favorite. Totally a blast to do, I would highly recommend it.

After the candle making, we went and saw the movie "Four Christmases" and then enjoyed lunch at Chipotle. We walked around the mall for a bit and then went to Fry's (neither Shawn or I had ever been) where we spent a long time wandering around wanting everything in sight. It was a fun day, and cool to spend time with my Mom and Dad.
