Oh Cat - those are so cute! I think I need one, too! My son got me Satsuma oil/ BBW and this would be a great way to burn it.
Today is a Dreamtarts Cinnamon, Nutmeg, and Clove.

Hi Trep!
I jumped passed the candles and went right into tarts because I get bored with scents easily, and I did not know where to store all the half-burned candles I would have! Now I am back tracking a bit and buying candles of the scents I have tried in the tarts if I really, really like the fragrance.
Today is use up all the Christmas tarts and eat all the cookies day! : ) I have a little bit of everything melting all over the house, with YC sugar cookie being my favorite for now!
-
YC Sparkling Pine, a big jar to get through, so I better keep burning!
-
Boogie - yes, it is and it was lasting and lasting! I burned it for 10-12 hours (1 square) and probably could have put it in a smaller room and kept it going, but like you said: Time's awaistin' - lots of Christmas scents to burn through!
Today is something new: Orange Gingerbread from Candle Dippers...this is a sample so I looked at the site - anyone order yet? Fun names I may need to try: Purple Haze, Seminole Winds, etc!
-
Mom - looks like lots of us are swapping scents all day! I got home tonight and have Aunt Becky's Christmas Cabin in the dining room (cinnamon and orange, mainly) Crabtree and Evelyn Winterborne simmering in the living room, and have already dumped out Rosegirls Old-fashioned Christmas and am trying to decide if I want to burn my Aroma Natuals "Peace" in the bedroom...more cinnamon and orange with cloves. ( Sometime I am a hoarder though - the candles are so pretty I hate to burn them. My husband thinks it is an odd hobby - collecting candles and not burning them! LOL!)
-
I am in an office today where I can't use melty things, and with this addiction I had to do something - so I brought my Blueberry Muffin room spray by Angie's. It is divine!!! And it lasts in the air for quite awhile!
Question- they were out of the twisted peppermint when I went to check it out...is it just a mint scent?
-
Dreamtarts agai, Blue Christmas. Boy, it is a strong one too!
Boogie, when I ordered awhile back, I ordered the Pink Sugar and she emailed and said she did not think it was a true sent, that I should try a sample first. Guess she was right, huh?
-
This is my maiden voyage with Dreamtarts...melting Christmas Trees - quite a throw! Had to "turn it off" for a bit as the room I am in is quite small.
-
I melt tarts in my office at work (our windows do not open and it gets a bit stuffy and musty at times) in my warmer. Then I really have problems - no one likes the same scents! I have learned to melt ones that have small throws! LOL! We have the banana fans in the back office, vanilla down the hall, and caramel at the reception area. A couple of us like citrus... seems like someone, somewhere is thinking our tarts are stinky!
Todays flavor; Backroad Hobbies Country Christmas. (No complaints so far!)
-
Oh Boogie - I have to tell you! My husband kept blowing out the tea light on a melt he did not like, I kept lighting it thinking it was a defective tealight! So, no more Oaky ones when he is home! : )
Burning Root Ginger Patchouli...small throw but that is probably OK for these sents!
-
Rosegirls Old Fashioned Christmas is melting away! I will have to look and see if they still carry it for the description, but it seems like I am smelling minty/balsam.
Mommy - I also avoid the bakery scents and go for clean/earthy/citrus ones. If you come across bakery scents you like, please let me know! (I find my office mates and husband seem to like those better than what I like. Lemon poundcake is my compromise! I hesitate to burn most of those because the smells seem to make me feel like I just ate too much dinner!) LOL!
-
mpfand - don't you LOVE samples?? It gets me out of my rut and I often find things to order that I would not have.
Last night I was cleaning and found a bag of pretty old tarts - thought I should toss them, but tried one this morning and wowie! It still has a big throw. This company, Lighthouse Candle Co, doesn't appear to exist now per google (let me know if you see it).
Melting: Apple Cider.
-
Today became an oil day...I was Christmas shopping at the mall and B&BW and the Body Shop had oil a-simmering...so I came home and fired mine up. Colonial Cranberry Apple tea!
-
Thanks momuvtu - I have never used the shades before and I was hoping they help...one thing I did notice though - with the shade on I can't see how long the wick is getting! LOL!
Today is Soy Beads Earthly Embrace. I came to work and forgot to bring my holiday/winter melts, darn it! So many melts, so little time!
-
I broke down and bought a YC candle...usually I only melt tarts and am wary of YC soot...
So, because I really, really liked it in the store, I have 22 oz of Sparkling Pine to melt my way through...it smells great, fortunately, and so far the cute little Christmas shade on top is keeping soot/tunneling away.

Well, no surprise, my name is Debra! It wasn't that long ago that I thought candles were a waste of money and had no idea why people bought them, lol! After being drug to a PLite party, where I discovered the melts, I became so obsessed that it is embarrassing! I log in a huge amount of time on this site - and just like to look at the company webstites even if I am not buying. Sorta silly, huh?
I have 2 grown sons, and have 4 pets that have taken their place, 2 dogs and 2 cats. Very expensive ones - our vet loves us! I am in Oregon, and am a RN. My husband is out of town about 3 days a week so I melt like crazy while he is away. (He wants to send me to a "sniffaholic" meeting if one can be found!) My favorites tend to be clean or citrus, but every now and then I find a baking or floral that I have to have.
I also am dabbling in oils and in the fragrance lamps. I am also trying wickless - with the melting plate - but I am not sure if I like these. Curious to know how others feel about those versus flame?
-
I hadn't tried Yankee for a bit so I melted the frosted cedar wreath - I really like the minty woodsy smell - but whew! I was very intense, headace-style, so next time I would cut it in half!
December Delights !

Today is Winter Garden from Backroad Hobbies. Oh - Cat! I spoke to Joan at Scentral Station...since you posted about her plug-in oil warmers, she sold all 7 she had in stock! She is getting a new style in soon. She was a kick - I am anxious to try her oils! Thanks again for the tip.
