Sweet, awww thanks so much for the kind offer but my current cat has already done quite a number on my carpets as it is :D

 

Burning B&BW Applewood Bonfire in the living room and Illume Mulled Wine in the bedroom.

 

The Illume smells amazing, but the wick drowns easily and the wax cracks when it hardens and pulls away from the wick and sides :huh:

Debra - Say [smilie=th_smiley_aaeq] ....Eggnog Creme Brulee?? Let us know if U check em out! Sounds like you'd have to be there in the morning before they sell out. Let's see.....doing the map thingy...if I leave this afternoon to drive there I should be there...in 37 hours! :lol:

For those living in the NYC area....there was another donut shop, the Doughnuttery in the Chelsea Market that has mini donuts made fresh before your eyes & U can choose the flavor - sounds deeeelish!

I love all the homey scents everyone is melting today. Today I'm melting Blackberry Mallow Latte from LOL (a favorite) and Vanilla Macadamia Nut Coffee from Shayz (this is not giving off much of a scent, so I"ll probably switch it out soon).blush.gif

WINTER BLAST 2014!!!smileysnowangel.gifThis morning it's even too cold to make a snow angel;12" of snow with -41 wind chills. DH and I have been trying to get the outside kitty shelters ready for this Artic Freeze. He lined extra straw and I have heated pads and wrapped tarps around them...We have 4 outside kitties. One came in yesterday afternoon and he has been such a good boy and sleeping on his blanket. The other ( maybe 8 months old) came in last night. He is doing pretty well but wanting to roam around and my Senior Citizen kitty Tip and his sidekick (Mr. Nosey Rawhide) are not liking the "guests" Hopefully by Wed. the temps are suppose to start rising so they will be safe outdoors again. I have been melting lots of Holiday scents and the Vanilla Wonderland candle from Goose Creek is perfect for this type of day. I'm also melting Rustic Lodge from TDC. Stay warm everyone..th_catkiss.gif

Reporting from Indy too: we lost power for 7 hours yesterday, but were very fortunate to have it restored around 9 PM, just as the house was getting truly chilly (56 indoors). Most people who lost power won't have it back for over 24-48 hours. During the outage I burned YC Holiday Sage and Home for the Holidays, plus a tealight. Shortly before our power went out, we had problems with our internet, so I had this message typed and had to save it for later (written yesterday):

 

"Major snow in Indianapolis today. Huge fat snowflakes coming down very heavily. I shoveled the driveway this morning and by the time I was done, I could have started over. Burning YC Merry Marshmallow -- DH made me hot cocoa earlier and this was a great scent to go with it, plus the snowmen on the front are so cute, and no day are they more appropriate than today. Normally I'm not too particular about labels, but YC does do a nice job with them and I'm really sold on this one today."

 

Earlier this morning I shoveled again in the -14 weather (it has been an ongoing process) and now I'm feeling warmed up and pooped out. Last night when the power came back, I got really excited and made a piping hot chicken pot pie late at night, which as of this writing is already gone, even in a household of only two people. Later I am going to use the crust dough leftovers to surprise DH with a couple mini apple pies. YC Sugared Apple is the jar for this afternoon.

 

Stay warm and safe, everyone!

Been MIA for a few days on a yoga retreat. DD #1 had her turn for wisdom teeth surgery this morning and is recuperating on the couch next to me. She was so brave and I am very proud of her! :wub:

 

DH leaves for his move to Phoenix on Wednesday, so this week is a challenging one.

 

Biolaeagles~ Good luck on your baby's surgery.

 

Candlelove~ Glad to hear your DD did well with her surgery.

Stay warm, everyone! No snow here in New Mexico, but it sure is cold!

Honeybear...glad your DD surgery went well. I hope you enjoyed your retreat. Will you guys be following your hubby to Phoenix?

Katz, Christy & Aria - What a blast of winter weather you've had - glad you're all ok and that your power came back on Christy! [smilie=th_bighug-1] I don't think we've had temps this cold here in 20 years. Katz - you're a brave gal bringing the newbie cats in...they might decide to stay!:D

 

Honeybear - Hope you're DD is feeling better & that it's not long long before you'll all be together with your DH in AZ. Retail therapy sounds like a good idea! :ssshopping:

 

I'm melting FP's Pumpkin Cream Filled Bread - awesome delicious scent! [smilie=th_LOVE] We missed the snow, started out as light rain last nite & melted most of the snow we had & then the cold turned what was left to ice. We had a little snow today & it's -1 right now and going to -12 tonite with a wind chill of -30. When I put my pup outside the clasp on his tie out was frozen shut which has happened in cold weather before & I just hold it in my hand until it thaw's, but in just a few minutes my fingers & hand were red, burning & stinging. Don't think I'll be trying that again. [smilie=th_roll]
