Oh yeah, melting Nene's Christmas Wish in the kitchen. Haven't decided what to melt in the living room yet.

Cat, waving right back at'cha ! How fortunate that your husband didn't break the oil warmer. He would have been in the dog house, for sure, LOL.
Christmas was nice except for the meltdown my 14 year old had because she didn't get the camera she asked for after I had done all of the shopping. She wanted one of those high mega pixel digital cameras, which irked me because I have one of those 2 mega pixel cameras and feel that she should get my "hand me down" while I get the new one. For some reason, my husband decided to get ME a new digital camera and when I opened it up, my daughter became quite the little witch. Since it was Christmas, and since I am a mother, I gave her MY new camera. Then she started to cry because she felt she didn't deserve it after being so ungrateful.. SIGH.....Well, the IPOD speakers I got her were not compatible with her 3rd generation Ipod Nano, so since that was being returned, it helped decide who would get the camera. Of course when I went to take Christmas pictures with my "old, sorry" camera, the batteries had gone dead and we didn't have batteries for it in the house. more sighing......
Aren't you glad you asked ? LOL

This morning it is YC New Zealand Wild Berry--I really like this one--haven't decided what this evening will be--will see how the day goes.
-
It's the last two cubes of my Apple Crisp from PI--you can even smell the topping--yum!
-
Fleur, not only do I remember Maypo, but I have it in my pantry !
I prefer Cream of Wheat or Farina( with lots of butter), though. :)
-
Us ladies have been busy !
Today is Nene's Candy Cane Cocoa in the kitchen and Nene's Pecan Caramel Crisp in the living room.
-
Lavender Powder from Dreamtarts this a.m.

I plan to burn the rest of my Christmas tart stockpile this weekend (OK, most of it anyway...I've got way too many to burn them all) :) The trees and decorations are still up until New Year's and I might as well still enjoy the Christmas scents while the season lasts... Tonight it's going to be Gingerbread Village and Eggnog from Crosscreek, plus YC's Christmas Wreath. I might even dig out that extra burner and throw on some PI Vanilla, which is one of the best vanillas ever! (IMO.)

I have been in a fruit and bakery mood this week. Have burned Christmas Cookie from YC as well as Colonial's Fresh Baked Bread and YC Sparkling Lemon. I've been putting one on early in the morning and switching out about 3 PM for the evening. Still have some Christmas ones to finish up. I plan to put Brown Bag's Hot Orange Danish on for this evening. Brown Bag has some really good scents. Have a great day everyone!
-
Still working on my Christmas scents, too, but I am craving bakery scents the past couple of days. Melting Nene's Coconut Cream Pie in one room, and Hot buttered rum in the other. I had a gingerbread on yesterday, and realized that I still have several of those to get through. Also have a mistletoe that needs melting, but I'm not in the mood for it, lol.
-
Today it's Brown Bag's Holiday Sleigh Ride and Crosscreek's Hillbilly Homebrew. I'm trying to use up my Christmas inventory as the holidays wind down.
Gotta love those YC sales! I avoid buying the jars (too sooty etc.) but I bought a bunch of tarts and votives online plus some cute accessories. IMO their prices are too high so I only buy when there's a sale. We'll see if I actually get my entire order - I've had them cancel items before on me without notice and from what I've read I'm not alone.

First snow from ov

OOPS! I had not registered correctly so I am on as a guest twice. I think I've got it now. Sorry candle friends. trep

"">Merry Christmas, my smelly friends !

Melting first snow from ov today

Debra, is your Rosegirls' Old Fashioned Christmas from last year? I don't see that on her website anymore. Just wondering if her tarts will maintain their scent after a year in storage?
-
Melting Crosscreek's Christmas Splendor, which is rich and wonderful.
Also trying to use up a Peppermint and Pine tart in my kitchen, so I can put something else in that warmer later on. Must get rid of these Christmas tarts !
-
Debra, I guess she didn't advise me to switch to another scent because she felt as if she had improved on her pink sugar, lol. Why put it on your scent list if you don't like it ?
-
Nene's Cocoa Noel today, which I just want to eat up ! It's a very cozy scent.
Yesterday, I tried DreamTarts Pink Sugar and felt it was too strong. I've tried Pink Sugar from every tart maker and this is the only one I have not liked.
-
Cat, I tried Hayride from a couple of different companies but was also not too happy with the scent. I can see why a man would like it. I prefer the autumn leaves type scents rather than the hayride. Surprisingly, my absolute favorite scent this past fall was Yankee Candle's Autumn Leaves(I melted the votive's, not a candle).
Girl Scouts have a hard time finding leaders because of that huge commitment. This is why it was impossible to find Daisy troops.....so few women are available to lead those young troops as they all move up to the higher age brackets so soon. My daughter's cadette troop is planning a trip to Mexico in 2009. Mexico City is where one of the world GS centers is located.
-
Fleur, I was just reading on QVC's candle forum about how good Aroma Soy by Grazia's wedding cake is....it is a white cake but with strawberries. Yum ! I have never tried Grazia's candles or tarts but I am very tempted to place an order soon.
-
Cat, we are a Girl Scout family, too ! My 14 year old has been a scout since kindergarden(Daisy's) and my 10 and 11 year old girls started as Brownies. Are you a leader ? I have had the opportunity to take over as leader several times, but always respectfully declined. It sure is a lot of paperwork.
-
Fleur, what is Cottage Hill's birthday cake like ? Is it just a white type cake, or does it have any other flavors? When I think of birthday cakes, I think of chocolate and more chocolate !
December Delights !
