April's Shower of Scents

[mpfand 0]

Getting a late start melting. DS got his braces off today so the majority of the morning was spent at the orthodontist's. He's happy to be able to eat licorice and popcorn again and I'm happy to be rid of the monthly payment! I'm trying a couple of new ones from LOL. In the kitchen/DR it's Oatmeal Raisin Cream Cookies and in the loft it's Vanilla Nut Bread. The MB has Jasmine Vanilla from Mookie Doodle.

Cat01 & Debra - love your new avatars... what cuties!

 

bigred.....yay! Glad you're feeling well again! How about PuppyLove.... R U feeling better too?

 

Welcome back from your trip candlelove!

 

Now, Fleur has been MIA since last week. :oops: Hope you're off having fun some where and not down w/the crud that's been going around.....

 

Melting Nene's Rustic Blend.

Melting Nene's Pink Sugar this evening. I like the plain pink sugar but I think I will like pink sugar blends even more! (I'm still kind of a melting newbie, as you can tell! But never fear, I have a few pink sugar blends from Mookie Doodle to try!)

Baton rouge from tuscaderos. It just doesn't get much better than this for me!!

[Candlefind Placeholder 3]

Still have all the stuff going that I previously posted about, but also added YC Midnight Jasmine to the mix. Hope everyone has a great evening!

Welcome back Sillysmom and Candlelove. There's no place like home.

 

Jason, veranda sounds way better than balcony. Hang in there. HL takes a little while to ship. I didn't have any strawberry water today, but I did keep the strawberries going all day.

 

I switched Strawberry Wafer out for Strawberry from CFTKR (thanks buddy)

It was shaped like a real strawberry and the kids got a big kick out of it.

 

Mpfand, congrats to your DS and your wallet...more money for smellies.

 

I agree, Denimsway. Baton Rouge is wonderful.

 

I love all the new avatars.

 

Aria, what are you painting and what color?

 

I'm awfully chatty tonight. :oops:

[debra99 2]

Home from work for some serious melting!

 

Starting off with Blue Gecko Butterfly Garden - 1 cube in the tealighter - mod. strong

Crosscreek - Cariribean Pear - using the metal tart pan on the 24w - this really smells yummy - wonder if the pan is helping!

 

Oh - and thanks, S&S!

You're at home among friends! :P

Wanna talk about Hooters again? I haven't found a chicken wing scent yet.

I added more to today's melts: CP ~ Acai Sugar Cookie, CCCC ~ Blackberry Jam Butter Cookie, CHC ~ Lemon Pucker, and AMS ~ Winter Garden.

Going to put on Baton Rouge to jolt my memory on that one Denim. Thanks for mentioning it!

Just trying to refresh my memory before I buy anything else.

Thanks. I think I can easily justify a tart spree. :P

 

Another fan of Baton Rouge here.

 

Oatmeal Raisin Cream Cookies from LOL is still going strong even after the tuna noodle casserole I cooked for dinner.

What an exhausting day!! I had to run around like crazy at school to get budget stuff done, then had to finalize and send in the taxes, all so I could get back less than my average LOL order!! TAXES SUCK!!!

But, you know what DOESN'T suck? Blue Gecko!!! I got in my Blue Gecko and my GHBT order today. I started Forever Alice, and it is DREAMY. I can't imagine a more soothing scent right now. Plus, did any of you get the email from Christy that AMS opens tomorrow, with free shipping on orders over $30? So now I really have to decide if I want to try Front Porch, or just blow the rest of my wad on AMS. Decisions, decisions.....

Glad you had a safe trip Candlelove!

 

I've been melting Sands of Morraco by AMS for about 7 hours and it's still going strong! Have a good night everyone.

I enjoyed my vacation but it feels good to be home. I am still melting AMS Snickerdoodle. These melts lasted for 12+ hours. I am busy plotting my AMS order. I hope everyone has a good night.

I'm glad you posted this info on AMS. I have never ordered from her before and I've got to try her tarts. THANkS!

I wasn't home for most of the late afternoon and evening so I just got a chance to change scents to:

 

K - LemonGrass - AMS - A really nice moderately strong scent

 

LR - Bamboo Hemp - AMS - Another really nice moderately strong scent

 

BR - Domination - EE - This is a very nice moderately strong scent - smells fruity to me

 

Bathroom - 2nd tealight for YC's Beach Vacation

 

AMS opens tomorrow!!!

Good morning CF friends!

 

Starting out the day with Buttercream Vanilla from Crosscreek....I think I may have just found another favorite from Deana....this scent is heavenly!

 

Jules, we are painting our kitchen and dining area....it's a shade of olive green....sounds sort of weird, but it looks nice with our maple cabinets and light hardwood floors.....this is the look I am going for...

GOOD GRAVY!!! I wish I could go to your house today instead of work Big Red! I bet it is beautiful and smells heavenly! It is raining here too with a little bit of snow mixed in, so it is dark and dreary, and I am hoping that will subdue the kids at school a little bit. I had to light another tealight under my Forever Alice when I got up this morning, I just love it! I am excited to place an AMS order too... I will do that during planning period.

[Candlefind Placeholder 3]

I love it! Whenever I walk into a different room the scent groupings are "smack you in the face" strong! Strong enough even for Ms. Heart2Heart I bet.

Ha ha!

Beautiful color Aria. That olive green is so pretty. Our kitchen is totally outdated but it's a project for another day. DS loves his blue room. We just had navy carpet installed yesterday so he's got the whole package now.

 

This morning's scents:

 

CYS Sea Island Sunrises - Sucre Rose, sea island grapefruit, lemon and cotton candy

 

CYS Sun & Sand
