I think the pull-down menu only accomodated 4 digits.
That would be THE DAY my DH would ever get me one!
Hell would be a-freezin over and all that good stuff.
In the meantime, I'd settle for a little Pink Champagne & Strawberries (in tart form of course) I think he could manage that!

I guess all of you snow-bound friends do NOT want to hear the word Avalanche.
lol
I think I'm about to hit the Satin Sheets (don't I wish) but I'm bone tired, so no Misbehavin, so don't even say the word Aphrodisiac.
As I drift to sleep under a Scarlet Moon, I'll be dreaming of Butterfly Fields lined with Lemon Grass & Sage.
I wish I could say I was off to a Spa Day in the morning, but after a cup of Cafe Vanilla Latte, it's back to business as usual.

I am especially intrigued by those LSC mixes and would like a description to go along with them all.
Also, I like the fact that she doesn't offer flat rate shipping. For anyone who has fallen under that one knows that its hard to justify $8.95 for $10 worth of tarts. But, even better is the $50 free shipping-which is a great thing as someone else mentioned. It's the best of both worlds-great marketing technique!
I would love to have some stuff up for RTS-as its a quick fix and usually means super fast turn around, but I understand that she is so busy right now with all the orders for tarts, she hasn't had time to put anything else on the site.
Glad we could all entertain each other and learn lots about Pam Jameson and her passion! I know it says that she has oil burners available, but am not seeing those listed either-I'd love to grab some of the oils too...
I also like the fact that she processes orders through paypal, as its my first choice when deciding to order from a new vendor.
Are you getting all this-Cyn??? hee hee hee!

So. Have you girls taken a look at the incredibly silky and moisturizing body lotion? It's got silicones and Abyssinian oils and is paraben free. I'm not sure what all that means, but maybe it means I'll win the contest!
I think we've just about covered every single word on the website, haven't we?

including the fact that it is Powered by papashopdotcom, designed by Scrapless Creations and the graphics are from Kareinick at Big Stock Photo
So we are supposed to mention one of THREE things here?
I think the admins are having a laugh on us.
Specially you and me, Gail.
Desperate waxheads for sure!
It's okay, I can take a joke as well as make one.
I'm off to scrounge change from my van to start building up my paypal account so I can reorder from my favorite vendor -

Tobe, I'm not sure if these need to cure or not, but I let them sit for about a week, FWIW. You're correct. Parasoy is a blend of paraffin and soy. In this case, 80% soy, which is the same formulation as Haley's candles, which are my very fave candles. I dunno, I guess my nose is very drawn to 80/20 parasoy.
Laurie, that's hysterical you mentioning the website designer and power behind it. I almost did the same. If you win because of that, I'll be kicking myself in da behind!

Tobe - I do think parasoy is a blend of paraffin and soy. That might explain why her tarts are so good. I've had the best luck with vendors whose wax is a blend.
Cat - I'm already on the "order a ton" of Chocolate Mocha Latte. I ordered a bunch of them just as soon as I melted half of the one I have.
I'm also someone who'd appreciate an alphabetical list of scents. It's really tricky to navigate with the categories because while I might think of a scent as one category, someone else might place it in another one altogether and it slows down the ordering process a lot to have to hunt for a scent. Actually, using both lists would be idea because the alphabetical one makes it easy to find a scent if you know the name, and categories can be helpful to generally sort things. But alphabetical only during the ordering part is SO much easier.
I do think the website needs a little tweak. I noticed when ordering that if I hit the "continue shopping" button, it opens a new frame within the existing frame and just generally doesn't work. It's easier to hit the back button or the wax melts link and start over. Still... better to have a tartmaker who spends more time perfecting their product than one who has a nice site but not so good products.

It's important to know the current TAT is 7 - 14 days, although that's probably extended due to the winter storm. Note that the TAT doesn't include shipping time. It's nice to know that all orders are shipped in the order they are received.
Now, I'm only mentioning the above as a public service announcement. The contest isn't even on my mind. Really.

I am on day two of her Pink Clouds (one of her LSC mixes-probably one of her better/top sellers) and can say that its going pretty well in my smaller Scentsy-just a nice background scent. I know her testing is done in a tealight, and she recommends only melting 2-3 hours at a time in the electric melters, but I keep mine going 24/7 and have no issues with the longevity. (Holy, run on sentence-Batman!!)
I'd really like to be a tester for her too-since everything is tested before she puts it up on the site for sale...wouldn't we all???

In a word...
I can't stop looking at your photo, Jules. I love the clean lines of your jar and the entire photo. I don't have a Linens n Things nearby but I'm going to go check their website. I'm in SEEKING mode and want to find something very similar, if not identical. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Back to scooping out the dust around here...
