Hey debra99. My YC Christmas Cookie candle is the one with the glitter & gel. There's not much scent to it (unless I'm sitting right by it) but it is so pretty.

Hi -
Just wanted to add to anyone interested in checking out Angie's - I ordered from her for the first time in November and was very, very pleased. And I've been spoiled by Crosscreek and PI! Good strong throws, a nice variety of scents and products, and great customer service. The TAT was a bit longer than normal but she was swamped by holiday orders and was great about keeping in touch about it. Hopefully her sale won't end before I get a chance to order again!

Well, it's time for my evening selection--guess I'll go with Brown Bag's cucumber/cantaloupe and maybe it will make me think of summer instead of this winter blast we are having. Have a great evening everyone.

Melissa, I was a bad girl. My first thought was of the drug LSD. lol
It must be freezing in Chicago today?
-
Oh boy, I am going to have to check out Angie's now...those grubby melts sound very tempting.
Today I am melting Crosscreek's Sugared Spruce in the kitchen and Nene's Mistletoe Kiss in the living room. My house smells terrific !
Edited to add that it is 11 degrees ,with the wind chill, here in Charlotte, NC. This is unusually chilly !

I'm burning YC Christmas Cookie. I don't usually buy YC candles but this one was half price and it is the Farmers Market type. Once the middle burns down (and only the decorative gel remains at the sides) I can insert a votive. I like to see the flame through the gel.

Melissa, you're really smokin' with those tarts you have coming ~
I think Candlefind should have you do some of their official reviews ! I know I'm looking forward to hearing how you like all of your new goodies. What is LSD in Chicago? I know it must stand for a big city but I'm drawing a big blank. Think I need more coffee, lol.

Hi Cat--we live in Bolivar--how far is that from you? I hear Butler mentioned on the news out of Springfield. Guess I need to get out the map and see. Glad to meet you. Nancy

Good Morning everyone--it's a cold (10 degrees) one here today. I put on YC's Sweet Strawberry this morning--felt like thinking of strawberry fields rather than the cold ground we have right now. Hope you all have a wonderful day.

Gina, I wish you the best of luck with Law School. You mention living in CT...My husband is from Ridgefield, CT. and most of his family still live there. In fact, his brother owns the Village Tax Shop in Ridgefield, and is an attorney/accountant. Where in CT do you live ?
It must be exciting to plan a Disney World Vacation. We were there with the kids a couple of years ago and it is spectacular. You must check out Pleasure Island, which is a terrific night spot for couples. My husband and I were lucky to have my parents along for the trip, and they watched the kids while we went to Pleasure Island at night.

Hi! My name is Nancy and I live in SW Missouri. I am married and have one son. I am 56 and a total candle fanatic. I got started about 2 yrs ago with candles and have been into melts for over a year now. I get more for my money with them in my opinion. I am really enjoying reading the different tips, opinions and ideas you have all been posting. I have been looking up lots of the companies you mention that I hadn't heard of. I hope as time goes by we can all be candle friends and neighbors.

Good Afternoon everyone--hope the first day of the new year was pleasant for all of you. It was sunny here all day but cold and very windy. I have Toasted Hazelnut from Beanpod melting as I write. I love their soybeads. This is my favorite hazelnut scent. Have a great evening.
-
Good Morning on this first day of 2008. I'm trying another brand new Yankee tart this morning called Berry Jam--it hasn't fully melted yet so don't know how it will be--will update later. Hope you all have a great day.
Update--this one didn't have any throw at all so dumped it and replaced with YC Cranberry Chutney--nice winter scent.
-
It's evening now and I have Country Chunkies Lemon Crumb Cake going--wonderful smell--it's making me hungry. Have a great evening everyone.
-
Wish I had thought ahead and bought myself a strawberry champagne tart...great ideas, guys. ;)
Today is CHC's Holiday Wassail in the kitchen and B&BW's firewood oil in the living room. I plan to pop in a mistletoe tart in the liv room after dinner.

Happy 2008
Melting sweet lilies from ov.
-
I'm doing a brand new scent from YC called Midnight Jasmine--thought that might ring in the new year. A happy healthy 2008 to all you candle gals out there!!
-
Happy New Year !
-
This afternoon and evening it's Warm Impressions Cranberry Wood--lovely fragrance. Have a great evening all.

Michelle, I'm going to start a new topic about kids under Off Topic. What shall we call this topic?
Ungrateful little %$&^%$& ?
Our pride and joys ? lol
Not so funny things kids do ?
Fantasies of being single again ? haha That's a good one, lol.
-
Fleur, I love the Hummingbird cake too...have to remember to reorder that one.
Ladies, I am loving my Crosscreek Fireside tart !
-
I think those of us with teenage daughters need to form our own support group forum, lol. Or at least start a similar topic under Off Topic here.
I am liking Nene's Christmas wish. It is melting in my 12 watt burner, which doesn't throw as strong as my 24 watt burner. The scent is light but refreshing. Hard to compare it to YC's version because I've never tried that one. They may not even be the same mixtures.
The description for Nene's says:
A unique blend of light citrus, pine, and cedar wood nestled in a warm, rich vanilla cookie base. Just what I want my house to smell like for the holidays
But I also have Christmas Wish by Crosscreek and its description is a bit different from Nenes':
a delightful Christmas blend of fresh pine, orange and spices
-
Tonight it's Crosscreek's Eggnog, Brown Bag's Holiday Sleigh Ride, and YC's Balsam & Cedar.
-
Boogie,
How do you like Nene's Christmas Wish? Better than YC's version? I love Yankee's scent and am as always looking for a good dupe...I've found that the dupes are often better than the originals.
After reading about your Xmas adventure I'm gritting my teeth when I think ahead to the next couple of years...my daughter's only 11 but judging from her mood swings now I can see what's coming...

Cynthia, I apologize for writing something that made you upset. I actually do love doctors, too, and no, I am not sucking up. lol I developed such strong friendships with nurses back in the "old days" when I used to work. I remember how fatigued and stressed they always seemed to be, and they always felt uplifted when I told them that their hard work didn't go unnoticed and the hospital couldn't function without them.
Please know that my comment was made out of respect for the nursing profession and not out of dislike for physicians.
Do you have a specialty ?
