    Susan, how great that you were prepared to stay! You think ahead! [smilie=th_yay]

     

    AmyJo, good that it is a short trip, it is a busy time to be away.

     

    This weekend was soooo busy with the office party, the brunch bunch, and a security alarm went off in my office at 2 am Saturday...so guess who they call? After all was said and done, I think it was a glitch of some sort. It is was a long day. [smilie=th_smiley-yawn]

     

    Tonight it is SLC - Christmas Peppermint Bark.

    Holy cow, x 2 Michele! 70 cards, wowie, and your DD's winnings! What a prize! [smilie=th_smiley_emoticons_hurr

     

    AmyJo, I have noticed that sometimes when I turn off melts and turn them back on after work, they are not as strong as they were when I first start out. Have you noticed that?

     

    Well, my Candle aire has gone to its final resting ground. It was great, but probably passed on due to overuse! Now I am in the market for another electric melter. I like my tealight melter but everynow and then I don't want to mess with tealights.

     

     

    Busy day tomorrow, breakfast group and our office party. And, I still need to decorate the tree...

     

    Tonight it is Blue Moon - Northwoods Christmas

    Maggie, I don't think I have tried Pink Evergreen yet - yay or nay?

     

    AmyJo, your mint blend sounds like a good one! :wub:

     

    It is 8:30 and just started roasting a butternut squash...guess I will be up for awhile! I should have paid more attention to the time. <_>

     

     

    Tonight is a really old one, a favorite OOB vendor - Candle Dippers - Cranberry Balsam.

    Honeybear, that all must cause a lot of Mom and sister angst. Too many things for you to think about this week, I am keeping you in my thoughts.

     

    Susan - those are some big numbers! Can you travel in all that snow? Was it due to the snow that you had to work for so long?

     

    Tonight's advent scent is a Winter Candy Apple blend.

     

     

    Off to watch It's a Wonderful Life before it has to back to the library! [smilie=th_stophierDancedancer04

    Yay, Michele! Progress feels good, doesn't it? [smilie=th_stophierDancedancer04

     

    Mpfand, I also had potato soup cooking. I love the "loaded baked potato" type.

     

     

    AmyJo, I found some great canned cat food that is an "odor reduction" digestible type. Sophie loved it. Past tense, did you notice? Once I bought a case she was all over it. No more, thank you. It was not cheap, either! [smilie=th_F_14WA116161617]

     

     

    Tonight my Advent calendar scent is a Lavender Vanilla.

    Michele - how great to have help for your party! I tend fuss around at parties, I even find myself tidying up at other people's parties! [smilie=th_thanimeomega_emoticon

     

    AmyJo and Michele - wax pictures would be interesting! I am sure my DS would want to use mine for blackmail! [smilie=th_thlaughter]

     

    Mpfand, you are quite the chef! Lots of yummy things in your house!

     

    Whoa, Maggie, that is one long-lived tart!

     

    Today is Cheryl's Christmas Magic, one I like but no longer available.

    [smilie=th_autumboy] Hi Buddies! Brrr….it has been a cold week. A stay inside day, but lots had to be done! It seems to all involve spending money! :huh:

     

     

    Once I got back in of the cold, I re-watched part of Downton Abby. Mainly to look at the gorgeous clothes! It would be amazing to wear clothes like that.

     

    Welcome home, AmyJo! I hope you are home now for the Holidays?

     

    Michele, you are a busy gal! Reading anything you like for your bookclub?

     

    Well, with the cold weather I have been chasing the scents around again, I do believe that my smells are going up the stairs where no one smells them again. [smilie=th_F_14WA116161617]. Tonight it is CFTKR - Flowerbomb. I will get back to Holiday scents tomorrow.

    AmyJo, I hope as I type this you are off in dreamland! [smilie=th_slider_bigsleep]

     

     

    mpfand, what a treat! Family visits are so special, especially during the holidays.

     

     

    Maggie, those twinkles are frustrating, aren't they? My outside lights are supposed to have an occasional white twinkle - but seems only some of them light up at all! When they do work, it looks great!

     

     

    [smilie=th_slider_hi5] Great delivery day, honeybear! How did you decide where to start!?

     

     

    Tonight it is another Advent calendar selection that has Snickerdoodle in it.

    Posting early today! [smilie=th_shewiggle]

     

    AmyJo, I hope the time is going quickly!

     

    Michele - that is dedication! :sSc_faint: What a long drive - I hope you have books on CD or something like that?

     

    I am still behind on decorating, and now I have to start thinking about getting the supplies for the office party. I need to cross things off the list, not add them! [smilie=help]

     

    I also have Sophie cat on a hunger strike - I don't think she is sick, she ate just fine for the pet sitter. I think she is holding out for the treats I give her when I am trying to see if she is able to eat or needs a vet visit. She manages to get those things down just fine...but I spend a lot of time trying different things and watching her - just in case. :wacko:

     

    Latest melting - Cheryl's Mistletoe. This is a favorite and it is always a strong one! :wub:

    Home from the beach, had time to get my outside lights up before dark!

    One thing checked of my list! [smilie=th_i-m_so_happy]

     

    I am not sure how I missed the YC Spiced Pear. [smilie=th_pardon] I think I melted/burned just about everything they made a few years ago.

     

    AmyJo - I believe the mint sampler is a pre-order...there is still time to think about it! ;)

     

     

    Tonight is L3 - a strawberry cookie blend.

  16. Posted · Report reply

    mpfand, I keep forgetting about getting the Sonoma melts. :sCo_hmmthink: The ones I have had in the past were pretty good!

     

     

    AmyJo - the advent calendar has been good so far! Its is one of my favorite vendors, who just had a restock this weekend...sheesh. I was doing pretty good, then CFTKR happened, then L3 happened, then there was the mint sampler at waxmosphere...I need to get outside away from the computer, rain or not! :sFun_ahohno:

     

     

    Tonight it is a L3 blend of Mistletoe, Buttercream and Pear, started yesterday evening so still going today.

    Good one, Maggie! :sHa_woot:

     

    I headed to the beach last night - but for some time away, Michele - not for package pick up! I am so sorry you had to make the trip! Also, a big yes! I had a caffeine swap out that kept me up late recently! [smilie=th_thanimeomega_emoticon I should have known, the guy who took my order was acting like he wasn't really into what he was doing, so he may not even heard what I ordered!

     

    It is nice and stormy - not fun to be outside, but cozy inside with the fireplace a hot toddy! I brought my L3 Advent calendar so I have entertainment, too!

     

     

    Maggie, I hope the decorating is going well - since I am not home this weekend, I am really behind! :sSc_eek3: Just a minute...I need to do some deep breathing!

     

    I relit the melt I had going the last time I was here - still going strong so I hate to toss it out yet : BH&G - Sunlit Meadow Trail, a fresh scent. I was expecting woods! [smilie=th_pardon]

    mpfand, your family will feel so special with all your Christmas touches! [smilie=th_smilies-2]

     

    Maggie, I already have Holiday anxiety about not getting things done. [smilie=th_fear8] I wonder what is up this year? Usually I am as cool as a cucumber! I make list and lists, and I can't even focus to get that done!

     

     

    AmyJo, hope your work trip is smooth sailing!

     

    Tonight it is Dessa's - Caramel Apple. It is a strong one!

    Good evening!

     

    Another chilly day - I hope none of you had to deal with the big snowstorm.

     

    Oh gosh, Aria! I could just feel mom-anxiety! :wacko: I wish we didn't have to go through those parenting episodes, I expected those things to stop when they moved away! They seem to sail right through it though, don't they? :excl:

     

     

    AmyJo - it is about mint season here, too! I love those during the Holidays. :wub:

     

    However, before I break out the Holiday flavors, tonight it is Volcano Capri Blue - Lilac Sensations.

  21. Posted · Report reply

    Michele, I am sorry your DH had to go! We also got a lot done this weekend. [smilie=th_smiley_emoticons_hurr It thought we would be out and about going places and seeing things - but instead we cleaned things up and did some fix-it projects that needing done.

     

     

    However, doing all of that - I forgot to put up the lights outside! We only decorate one big evergreen, but it will have to wait until next weekend now. :icon_cry:

     

    Honeybear, how nice to get your vacation back! :confettistars:

     

    It has been awhile since I tried the YC at Walmart. I will need to look into that. It seems that my Wally has fewer and fewer melts every time I go. Hopefully I am catching things between seasons and that is not permanent.

     

    Tonight it is ST - Never Been Kissed (I remember blackberry and waffle cone but I know there are more.)

  22. Posted · Report reply

    You are ahead of me in my decorating. I barely got the autumn wreaths put away!

     

    We had really thick fog most of the day. Pretty, but kind of eerie. [smilie=th_thanimeomega_emoticon

     

    AmyJo, it sounds like your aquarium trip was a lot of fun!

     

    Maggie, the problem with Thanksgiving elsewhere is no turkey soup later! <_>

     

    Today I had the bestest scent - one I would not normally try but I got it somehow, maybe in a sampler. It kept slipping off the shelf, so into the melter it went. Yummy, I don't think you could bake anything that tastes as good as this smells: Rocket's - Pumpkin Pecan Waffle Creamy Marshmallow. I just stood there and sniffed and sniffed! [smilie=th_slider_flirt]

    It is getting dark so early now! I miss my daylight when I am coming home from work.

     

    My DS sent us home with leftovers yesterday, so dinner is all set! I love that! DH has spent the day trying to help a friend find "just the right TV". He loves that kind of thing. [smilie=th_BringItOn]

     

     

    I just tried Nutmeg and Cinnamon Triscuits. I am trying to decide what to do with them. A little pumpkin cream cheese may be in order. [smilie=th_12E9EC16]

     

     

    My cat, Sophie, is snoring! She is about 7-8 feet away and I can hear her. It is sorta cute! :D

     

    Tonight it is Scentsy - Cranberry Spice, from very nice Candlebuddy! :wub:

  24. Posted · Report reply

    I hope you have had an enjoyable Thanksgiving! I just got home - we had dinner at my DS house. He is turning in to quite the chef.

     

     

     

     

    AmyJo, mpfand, honeybear and Maggie - thank you for your kind words - we are a pretty bonded group when it comes to smellies and our posts. It is such a treat for me to end the day reading what you all have written. [smilie=th_Animated20Dogs20wavin

     

    AmyJo, I have been on the hunt for new melters too. I love my tealights - but it seems the inside tops get all sooty and then seem to smoke. I found a really pretty blue Yankee one and will see what is out there tomorrow on the big shopping day. :ssshopping:

     

     

    Today it is Scentsationals - A Thankful Harvest. I really like melting ones that have the Holiday name in the title somehow! Peeps for Easter, Santa's Workshop at Christmas...I am a good target for marketing! :blush:

    I hope you Candlebuddies feell better soon! It is hard to overeat Thanksgiving dinner when you don't fell well! [smilie=th_shewiggle]

     

    AmyJo, you are an efficient shopper!

     

    Michele, someone brought in a Costco pumpkin pie to work today. It was breakfast - it was gone by 10 am! [smilie=th_FULL_O17]

     

    honeybear - you may need a sweater if that type of weather continues! ;)

     

    Maggie, I bet you are partied out! You deserve a rest. [smilie=th_76d65c2f]

     

    Anyone watching good Thanksgiving movies this weekend? [smilie=th_scratch]

     

     

     

    Tonight - FA McGee - LaLa Land, (a lavender blend)
