Julip- I saw that LFC description that Angela gave. It made me want to try it even more:-) But, no more Alyce orders until the next batch of new scents comes out, so it will have to wait for now.
BTW- I appreciate the honorable mention for your tartwarmers.com order. I did a practice order there today but I'm still not sure if I really need it. lmao.

Sea- I'm finally warming a Lisa's raspberry zinger and it is scrumptious. Reminds me so much of Boysenberry butter cookie. I'm so glad I ordered a whole bag. Thanks for the suggestion.

I have a sample Lemon Meringue. It smells like Pledge to me. Does it burn the same way?

I just got a bag of raspberry zinger and they smell terrific on the cold throw. Too bad I have to wait for them to cure. The orange chiffon cake is lovely too but I'm guessing it will have a light throw. Has anybody tried that?

Holly - so far I'm the only one that thinks so! I do believe everyone else is totally loving Lemon Meringue. Right?

Holly- I know what you mean about those lemon scented ones smelling pledgy! But the LM one has a nice crust smell the takes over and warms to a nice scent. I haven't tried the OCC one yet but it sounds great:-)

Jinksy - when does the crust take over? Maybe I didn't give it long enough...

Hey Jinksy, I'll swap you an OCC for a SC. RMAO!!

I can see Jinksy sitting on the floor, cradling her SC, muttering "My precious, my precious."

Bonza- Smell is such a personal thing, Don't ya think? Funny because when I warmed Lemon Sugar it reminded me of straight pledge hold the sugar. But you enjoy it and not the LM. Go figure. lmao.

Julip, you tart guru you, can you tell me what "Where's my Cabana Boy" smells like. I can't find a description on the site and no one has answered my post. I know you must have tried it at one time.

Bonza- The crust takes over about thirty minutes into it! Julip, Did you find the same thing to be true?

Hi Cathie - oops! I guess I should have included the link when I mentioned it. Sorry! I see that Mama took care of you, though. This is the link I went to: http://www.superbowl-ads.com/2006/index.html

...but I imagine both sites have all the same info!

Joely - oops again! I'm sorry...were you waiting on me to order up the baggies? I was going to wait till the next batch of new scents were released, but that is absolutely no biggie. I think I'm good on baggies right now, but if I'll buy some up if you find you have way too many left over after the all the packs are distributed to the participants.

LOL Holly - that is a sure fire way to freak out poor Jinksy, messing with her precious SCs!

Jinksy - thank you. I did give it long enough.

But I agree, it's just like food or shoes - everyone has different taste.

Jinksy and Bonza - about the LM, I don't exactly remember, but I am thinking 30 minutes as you say is likely for the crust because I liked it as soon as I smelled it, which often takes about that long for the smell to start wafting.

And I do find it great that we all have different tastes in scents, because that is all the more to trade with each other if we end up with one in our samplers!

And Jinksy - I agree about Angela's description - once she used the word "cakey", I knew that one was on the list. lol. But I agree it's a good idea to get through our VDay scents, not to mention all of our January orders before we think about another order.

Holly ,

The "Cabana Boy" one was a limited edition scent introduced last summer and then retired a few months ago. I don't remember the description, but Alyce says it is a sister scent to Coconut Pear, which I found to be true ... so if you have a sample of that one, you can tell what it will be like. Or, the description of Coconut Pear should be close to it. Hope that helps!

Bags are ordered! I have enough coming to give everyone 100-200 each, I'll have you guys email me with your addresses. (I have Sea and Jinksy's) I think they'll end up being $3.00 for a pack of 100. Let me see what the total ends up being.

Julip ~ I wasn't waiting... It only took 10 seconds after I got the information from B before I ordered! :-)

Lime Blossom again today. LOVE IT!

Joely - I meant because I offered to order the baggies before, but I'm glad everyone is going to have baggies in their hot little hands soon! woo hoo!

I have not tried Lime Blossom yet! I will have to consult the spreadsheet to see if I have that in my inventory.

As soon as they're here... I'll get addresses and $.

I remembered to order my DVR today. $30 hookup plus $6.50 a month. BUT they can't be here until Valentine's Day! Why didn't I just call them in November when you all talked me into this!?

Joely--One of the pluses of getting the Cable Company DVR vs. TIVO is the price. The $6.50 a month is half what the TIVO cost is per month. You will love it so much and it will be worth the wait. I have two TIVO's and they are very busy tonight. I am going out tp dinner with a friend and one is taping Wife Swat and 24 and the other is getting The Bachelor. Your DVR will be able to record two shows at once, but the TIVO will only do one. Another plus for you. It will be worth the wait.

A cable company DVR? Does this tape shows w/out CD's? I'm really interested in hearing about this.

Told Sea I would report in with my second experience with the tarts. And I am happy to say it did go much better. I was afraid, after my first attempt to try it again.

But, yesterday, I got the courage up and just melted 1 tarty part - Fresh Cut Rose. Well, it definitely was a nice soft smell (not strong at all), didn't spill, didn't cause any problems with the eyes, nose or skin and best of all, it didn't make Ms. Baby run from the room like the other tart did! So, I was a very happy camper. I just might add another tarty part to what is left and see how we do with 2 little parts instead of just the one.

Julip..thanks for checking and posting the info on spills. I used the dishsoap method and everything is fine and dandy!
