Ok, changing the subject...back to the Handy Hints line of thinking...

I love to burn candles but have always had trouble getting the leftover residual wax out of the bottom of the votive cups. I don't remember where I heard it or from whom, but the following works every single time without scraping and all that messy stuff:

Candle Wax Removal (from plates or votive cups)

Put votive cup in freezer for a few hours. Take the cup out of the freezer and the wax should pop right out in one piece. Sometimes the wax sticks and can be easily loosened by using a butter knife along the edge of the wax and POP, it comes right out!
