Thanks!
She asked me to give her about a dozen scents I'd like to try and she's going to pick from those to make up a sampler! I've already received a shipping notice, in fact!

[debra99]

That is SUPER!! Congrats and enjoy!

I am so excited that she has her own website now, and I am hoping everything will stay the same as far as prices and TAT!

I have finished melting my first order of CFTKR tarts (except for six tarts from the "Snowflake Sampler" which I am saving for winter ).

My favorites were:
- Bird of Paradise
- Heat Wave
- Pink Sugared Lavender
- Pink Sugared Passion Berry
- Shampure Clean

All of these had a really strong throw (except maybe not the Passion Berry so much...it was a really nice scent but I only melted 1/2 of a tart of that one at a time - I don't really remember the throw). I used a 24 watt melter for all of my CFTKR tarts.

My order was several sampler packs so that was a good way to try different scents. I didn't like a lot of them and some had very low throw (paraffin is a big hit or miss for me on throw). That said, the Heat Wave, Pink Sugared Lavender, and Shampure Clean scents were sooo good and so strong that I will definitely order bags of these in the future!

I emailed Carol with a question and she answered right away...my order shipped immediately, too! So, great customer service.!

Glad you had fun with CFTKR tarts Rose, she is in my top 3 for sure. Do you like caramels and zuks? She is the queen of those imo. My fav. is Caramel Sticky Buns Cornbread, That smells so good it makes me hungry and WOW what a throw! Oh, her corn puddings are also a fav.

I didnt have any luck with Heat Wave though. For clean, I love Merlins Forest and Cool Citrus Basil. I dont know how she gets them to me so fast, its like she's standing outside my house. Are you going to order from her again? Thank you for the tip on Shampure and Birds, I'll get those next time. And she's hard to beat for customer service.

[roserent]

Hi breelee! I will order again and want to try some of your suggestions thanks!

Her scents melt well in one particular room in my house...I am finding that certain vendors melts work best in only certain rooms! I actually haven't had much luck in the past with most caramels/brulees, however, I did like Sugar Cookie Latte at lot - also Frosted Lemon Cookie Snap (they were freebies ).. These didn't throw strong or long but they were not in my "good CFTKR" room. I really like corn pudding tarts so I guess I'll have to try those. I also liked Lime Basil Mandarin. If I could buy singles, I would get another one of these. I liked her Pink Sugared Lavender because it had a good "zing" to it.

Their wax is a parrafin blend without any other chemicals. Also all of her dyes have been changed over to natural plant dyes, and the bags they use for their tarts are wrapped up in eco cello bags.

Cello bags are non-reactive to the scents in the tarts. I love that she uses these too. I've ordered many scents from her in the past. Some of my favorites are: Bear Claw, Blueberry Pancakes, love many of her pumpkin scents, Sweet Strawberry. Her strawberry shapes are so realistic and well-scented. I love those! Carol is also generous and has great customer service.

[candlelove]

I love Carol's stuff!! There are so many great scents. I love the fact that her tarts seem to last forever without losing the scent.

CFTKR is in my top 3. Carol makes some good strong tarts and has excellent CS. LOVE CFTKR...
