Esther & I have been making sand candles for the past 12 years at our annual Church Advent Faire. It's always one of the most popular craft tables averaging about 25 candles. We go non-stop from 11:30 to 4 pm before finishing and wicking the last candle!! This year Jana, Payton and Derrick came to Ashland for the week-end. They helped with set up and made crafts for their Eugene, Oregon Christmas.
Over the past year and a half, Esther has been working hard on completing Payton's special Afgan. Payton knew it was coming. She had picked the colors several years ago and then forgot how long it took to complete a project like this!! Grandma had learned this craft from her mother, Florence Tuckey and has been making Afgans for all the grandchildren!!!
We are now focusing on our Christmas Celebration at Lake Tahoe!!!

Happy New Year to all the Oregon Freeds. I remember making candles in your basement a very long time ago (>30 years). I'll be in touch again soon as I'm scanning lots of old photos from the Hartke collection. Happy 2012, Christl
