Well, I've got Walmart on the brain so I thought I'd show you my votive candle holder.
I worked in the Walmart Pharmacy in Waco, Tx from 93-97 while I was going to college. While I was there I worked with the man who I still say is the best manager I've ever had. His name is Rob Sellers, RPh. Rob if you're out there, I want you to know how much I appreciated you. Rob's hobby was wood working. He made three candleholders to see how they looked. Each was a little different. When I left Waco to go to Nursing School, Rob let me choose from the three. This is the one I chose. I have many fond and some funny memories of my time at Walmart. And some that are not so wonderful. But I always remember Rob with great fondness and I still think he is one heck of a great guy. It was a pleasure to work for you Rob, and thanks for the candleholder!
Go on over to Kelli's to see all the other Show and Tells!

Neat story--it always means more when someone makes something for you.!
Good Afternoon MightyMom,
That candle holder is beautiful. I love homemade things. They have more meaning than store bought things does to me. I love candles and candle holders myself. I have so many candles it isnt't funny. It was so nice that your former manager made it for you. I know it will always hold a special place in your heart. Take care my friend and have a great Friday and weekend. God Bless You.
Hugs,

One thing about it, you know it's unique, and he might be famous one day for his woodworking.
