[Burning Our Scents, Both New & Old]

Hi everyone! Hope you all had a great Friday. I worked - the usual boring stuff

 

Last night's melts were: LSC Avalanche, County Line Pink Berry Bundt Cake, and County Line Wide Open Spaces.

 

Debra - just read your post - we're AMS Sands of Morocco twins tonite! I have one cup left, so I put a half in my bedroom warmer. I adore that scent!! So pretty :D

 

Melting LSC Fig Tree down here. It was a freebie in my just arrived order. Kinda fruity musky - I like it. Also - County Line City Slicker in the bathroom.

 

Have a fun Saturday, everyone! :)

[Burning Our Scents, Both New & Old]

Happy early morning, all Tossed and turned, so I came downstairs to tool around the net for a bit.

 

Laurie - I go to St. Maarten every March - have done so for nearly 20 years. My Dad has been there since mid-December, and I'll fly down with my sister on 3/4 for two weeks - he comes home a week after we do. I envy him greatly Really looking forward to seeing him/his girlfriend, and all of the friends we see yearly - islanders and March visitors of all ages. So excited!

 

Laurie and sweet - I ordered pretty late in the sale, and my order number is: 10382366 - it was for 40 tarts. I was actually surprised I got my CnS - figured it would be a few more weeks. Hope you both hear from her soon!! :D

 

Tonite's melts were:

 

LOL Ruby Red, LOL Fireside, and County Line City Slicker.

 

Time to go back to bed - I'm feeling sleeeeeeepy - yes!

[Burning Our Scents, Both New & Old]

Hey everyone! I followed the scented trail back here I've been super busy at work - picking up extra shifts to financially prep for my March vacation. I work like a maniac from New Years until the day before I leave, and while it's exhausting, it's all worth it once I put my toes in the sand 39 more days.....

 

Trep - so glad to read about your Dad - awesome news!! Bless him - we should all be so lucky to have the will to work through it at that age :D

 

Big hugs for you, Debra - so sad that you lost one of your furbabies :( Thinking of you and your family.

 

In celebration of my LSC sale order shipping today (YAY!) I'm melting:

 

LSC Honey Patchouli in the living room, and Earthen Oak in my bedroom. I also have County Line's Pink Berry Bundt Cake going in the bathroom.

 

Have a great Wednesday, everyone!! :wub:

[Burning Our Scents, Both New & Old]

Hey all! RainRainRain for about 24 hours - kinda cleared up late tonite, and the temp is gonna bottom out over the weekend - teens and 20's. That totally sucks, but we've had ZERO snow this winter. None. Zip. Nada. If I could do a cartwheeel, I would Weirdest winter ever. But this only means we're gonna get destroyed by a blizzard at some point - you watch

 

Laurie - hope everything works out ok with your dental woes. I've heard of the Dental Credit thing - maybe do a little Googling for more info? Hugs for ya!

Hey candlepeeps! I've been away for a bit, and I'm trying to get caught up on the good smells world. Nice to read what everyone is melting :D

 

Work has been off the hook insane the last week or so. Even the kids in their 20's are like I'M EXHAUSTED! I'm more than twice their age, so yeah - I was hobbling this past weekend Very happy that we're so busy, but my March vacation cannot come soon enough!

 

Michele - your FIL will be in my thoughts. Big hugs for you and your family, darlin

 

Laurie - My Mom used clove oil for tooth pain when I was a kid, so I always have some in the house and take it with me when I travel - you never know if you'll need it. I also bought that little Red Cross kit at Rite Aid. I try to use natural remedies when I can, and clove oil is wonderful!

Hi everyone! Worked all weekend as usual, and ran around doing errands today - bah! The stores were actually a piece of cake - I expected a shopping frenzy at Walmart and Target - nope! It's been really mild here - to the point that it's scaring us 50's and 60's during the day for quite some time, but I hear it'll get cold this weekend. I don't have to pay for heat here, but I'm sure those with home heating bills are jumping for joy!

 

Hope you're feeling better soon, Debra :)

[Feast of Fragrances]

Hope you all had a fabulous Thanksgiving! We had a nice dinner at a gorgeous old hotel at the base of the Newport Bridge. My Dad and his girlfriend are heading to St. Maarten in a few weeks until the end of March (retirement suits them just fine ), so they're up to their ears in trip prep and getting the house buttoned up for the winter. Easier to go out and not create another project for them. They go there every winter - always weird knowing I won't see them again until I hit the island myself on March 4th - so far away!

 

Laurie - to answer your question about Shampure from a few days back - LSC does have it on her dropdown menu on the tart page - guess it isn't on her scent list yet. I was like oh no! when I saw your post Mine was a freebie, and I wanted to order more. CFTKR has it too, but I don't see it listed on her dropdown as of now - I'm sure she'll re-make them at some point.

 

Melts the last few days were: Front Porch Pink Laundry, Dream Tarts Pepperberry Wreath, Orchid Lake Pine Tree, Crosscreek Rock Star, Cheryl's Manuka and Lavender Body Wrap, and Cheryl's Violet & Birch.

 

Hope those of you who braved Black Friday made it home safe and sound - you couldn't pay me to deal with that hysteria - too old and cranky

 

Have a great rest of your day!! :D

[Feast of Fragrances]

Good evening, everyone! Started raining around 9pm and it'll go through until late tomorrow afternoon - boo! So dreary!
