Lynn, I'm sorry for the loss of your Mother in Law. But I'm happy with the news for your Daughter in law.

Today burning some candles: YC Raspberry Cream and Slatkin's Vanilla Shortbread. I hope they play nice together.

Have a great day all!

Jules - what did U think of the votive...can U describe the scent? Sounds interesting. Is your avatar the same cutie patoodie kitty or a new one? They're growing by leaps & bounds!

I'm melting Cheryl's Sweet Lemon Sugar. Luv luv luv it!

Yes, that's the same kitty. It's changed a lot since last week. I don't have a favorite, I swear. This one just happened to be the most awake when I had the camera.

Crisp Champagne smells effervescent, dry, not sweet but a little musky. It's a votive so i need to stick my nose in it to smell it.

Maurie, you crack me up! Welcome to my world. A retired DH can be challenging, although I bet some are more challenging than others. There's actually a specific type of depression in Japan that's called "retired husband syndrome." I'm not kidding. It's real. You can Google it. Anyway, I'm very happy your DH is working! That's got to be so good for all of you!

I'm burning Haley's Sinfully Hot this evening.

Gail

Enjoy your "me" time, Maurie, and don't feel bad about it. We all need a little space. Gail, we might need a RHS support group. Mine's a busy body who can not sit still. I, on the other hand, have no problem with a little down time. When he's around, we have to always be doing something, fixing something, cleaning something, ack.

I know EXACTLY where you're coming from. My hubby is a firefighter and until 20 months ago, always worked a 2nd job.

All I can say is most of the time I appreciated having that third day to myself. You know what I'm talking about with the F.D.

I just got Berry Bramble in my order yesterday. I think I'll melt it this morning too. You've talked me into it.

I also have Litsea and Basil from LSC melting in the bedroom.

[trep]

To my BBW Fresh Lemon I added my Harry & David Lemon Bars and all I can say is WOW--this is one strong true scent and I am loving it. Thanks Christina for the review that caused me to look for these. Wonderful!

[LLVV]

Tarts from Carol:
Pina Colada...love it!

I don't have any candles burning right now.

[candlelove]

Good Morning Everyone!

It looks like a beautiful day.

Maurie-Don't feel bad. I do understand about the DH being home. My DH was out of work for a bit a few years back (it was only for 6 weeks) and I was craving that alone time. He always was doing something. He never knew how to sit still. Sometimes we just need to relax a bit.

Melting LSC Buttermint Candy and Haley's Buttermints. Burning LOL 32 Degrees.

[PuppyLove]

Hi buddies!

My DH is a gem. We've been married nearly 45 years! But he's kind of a control freak and says, "You should..." a lot. And he never shuts up. Sometimes I have to fight the urge to say, simply, "Zip it!" But oh my, gotta love our guys!

Okay, gotta go get busy. Too much to do today! Accompanying me is CCCC Farmhouse Apple, doing such a lovely job helping me stay on task!

For this afternoon it is BBW Passion Flower, Pink Sangria, and Fresh Lemon and Yankee Lime in the Coconut and Lemon Zest. It is smelling great in here.



I guess I have one of those rare husbands in that he has been retired for 14 years now and we have had no problems. He likes to hang out in his garage or his study and never bothers me. We both are people who need a lot of space and so it has worked out great. We enjoy all of our time together which is usually in the evenings but he doesn't care where I go or anything like that and it works out great. I couldn't stand it if he was following me around Wal Mart, etc. like I see so many retired couples doing. We would both be crazed if he wanted to do that. Ha!

[katzncandles]

hey y'all...just checking in this afternoon.
I am burning a B & BW candle in stress relief. That's one of my favorite scents from there. This is helping with the left over musty smell from the original sub floor...
We got the new sub floor in the DR, Kit and BR over the weekend. I hope all is well with everyone and having a good week.

I'm melting CFTKR "Iced Lemon Snaps" from yesterday's arrivals... It is to DIE for! Strong buttery sugar cookie, slight lemon notes. Very delicious bakery, and a "must re-order" for me! Also, even though it is a lighter fragrance, 1/2 of a bundt tart is scenting my living room nicely on my 24w plate warmer.

Ok, I have to retract my earlier statement. Although this one started nicely, after about an hour, it fell apart. The lemon was gone, and when my son woke up, he captured it perfectly - "Mom, why does it reek of butter in here?"

Ugh. He was right. It really had started to smell of straight butter.

[MaggieMae]

Gail....45 years? WOW!!! on that!!!

Melting: all from CCCC
Zucchini Cupcake
Cinnamon Zucchini Rolls
Zucchini Drop Cookies

They all smell AMAZING!!!! I really can't figure out which one is the BEST!!!!! All I know is I'm GONNA HAFTA get all three in bags!!!

[cmarie]

Melting MD Iced Lemon Biscotti and burning SH Lemon Poppyseed Muffins. I made that flavor of muffins a couple days ago and this morning DH ate the last one without consulting me, so I am burning my candle as a consolation prize.

[Aria]

Melting Cinnamon Roll from Crosscreek - a favorite

[trep]

For the rest of the day it is Yankee Christmas Cupcake and Lemon Zest. Harry & David Lemon Bars and Mainstays Vanilla. Have a great night everyone.

[Maurie97]

CBV's Neptune's Oasis in the teens room and nothing else tonight. I had Orange Cupcake going from CFTKR but I didn' t love it. This one is getting tossed. I have to be careful with orange and bakery mixes.

Have a great night everyone. Thanks for all of your support and understanding regarding the "me time". Don't get me wrong, my husband is never a bother and lets me come and go as I please but I just miss MY house and the quiet times in MY house............lol. Its really OUR house and I get that, but I have been in charge of this place for years now and had a certain system. This has just rocked both of our boats, but we will make it. After 27 years, I think I'll keep him.

[sweet&spiceygrl]

Maurie - I'm so glad to hear your DH is working and you're getting some time to yourself. Sounds like a change for the good!

I'm melting LOL's Cinnamon Apple Delight. Mmmmmmm.....good!

[candlelove]

I had LSC Buttermint Cookies going all day. This was good and strong! I just shut it off. I had melted some others from LSC bit they weren't that strong. This one was fantastic. Maybe the longer they sit the stronger they get. I know they are soy so that was probably the case. Very happy.

I just am burning one candle tonight-Slatkins Salty Caramel. I love this one. I have burned it at least 3 times already and am happy to report there have been no wick issues.

[DanielleS]

Hi everyone!!!! I'm warming strawberry kiwi & juicy watermelon melts from Mia Bella. These are my first from them,they're ok.

[Doe]

Had on Crosscreek- Bushels of fun- didn't really care for the scent so changed that with LSC- Pink Marshmellow shortbread (much better).

Daughter walked in the house and said it smells so good in here like pink sugar coffee. The mixture does work well together even though Bushels of Fun is not a coffee scent.
