Those are adorable, Hukd! And what a great site you found.

And we will get you on those tarts yet! You need to now, just to get one of those cute warmers. It will haunt you if you don't cave. Bwa ha ha.

I'd LOVE to use them, but I have allergies and can't be in a closed up house with scented things like that! You should see my big butt run past stores in the mall like Bed & Body works!

Awww..that's a bummer about the tarts, Hukd. I know what you mean about Bath & Body Works - I could never even walk past them without getting a headache with all those sweet smells. Too much! Funny thing is that I just went in there yesterday after many years of avoiding the store, to buy a face scrub I wanted to try, and it was nothing like I remember - no sweet scents, or really any scent at all. Just very fresh.

Sea ~ Thank you!

My mail smelled great today!

And my IN & OUT burger was great, as were the fries!

Joely- You went to IN & OUT burger?!? I'm so jealous. I love it!

Julip- Good idea! I will give the buttercream a try as a mixer. That just might add the right amount of creamy that it's missing. I keep checking the delphi forums and nobody has said anything yet about the strawberry cheesecake. Hopefully they'll all get to missing it and she'll have that group buy!

I hadn't gone to the site to look up any descriptions of the sampler ones I received because I know it would drive me crazy not being able to use them yet. You all made me curious - so I had to go look up the description for:
Kayla's Secret

Just when you think you have this scent figured out it blooms into another scent. Testers reported the following notes: cinnamon, cake, pineapple, cherries, apples, and mint. Everyone smells something different in this delightful scent, what will you smell? *Soyful Joys Exclusive*

Sounds very interesting and mysterious. I can't wait to try and report back.

Joely - evil, I tell ya! LOL!

Jinksy - hopefully there were some orders of the SC recently that people will want to unload. Check the RAK thread, too. I don't usually read that thread because I just don't care for sending one tart at a time - hardly worth the rising postal rates - but maybe you can gather some SC that way, and unload some scents you don't want in the process. lol In the meantime, that would be great if the buttercream does the trick - then you would have an unlimited supply.

Dlmmo - it will be interesting to see if you detect any of those scents, or if you smell something entirely different! Keep us posted!

Joely you are so bad for my diet. Now I am craving In And Out Burger and Krispy Kreme and Starbucks. I know just the place I am going for lunch. We have an In and Out next door to a Krispy Kreme. I am off!!!

Ahhhh, Julip - so glad you love the Citrus & Sage. That's the beauty of the samplers as I'm sure that's one I would have not thought to try, and look how great it's turned out!

Congrats on everyone's new orders and arrivals... it's such fun!

It's Soy Tart Eve for Joely and me...we are both expecting packages from Alyce tomorrow! Anybody else?

Happy Chinese New Year, everyone! And boy, am I stuffed. DH and I went out to celebrate the first day of the Chinese New Year. Yum yum.

So, Joely, what did you think of ARR&DC?? LOL!

Dlmmo, Yes, I'll be interested in your review of Kayla's Secret

Julip and Joely, sounds like an excellent day tomorrow for both of you.

No, I made my last order just under the deadlline for the free bag, so I suspect she'll have a large amount of work, and didn't she go out of town for a cheerleading competition or something??

So, I'll be patient and I ceratinly have tarts aplenty to melt. I'm warming last night's Butter Cream Crunch at the moment.

Sea~
I did receive my order, the same day you received your last order I believe. I posted a list of my sampler bag on 7/26 prox 7:30 PM. I'm just waiting for my tarts to be cured. I think tomorrow will be 7 days - I'll probably give in and try one. Any suggestions about which one to try first - anyone?
Also see a note in your folder Sea.

Well, you cannot go wrong with Banana Nut Bread, or Blackberry Sage, but see what smells strongest or one that speaks to you..

In my latest order the Butter Cream Crunch seemed well cured so I did start one last night and I LOVE it!

Sea - yes indeedy Alyce left for a national cheer competition her daughter's team was competing in...and they won! Yay! She is back now, though.

And I'm so glad you reported back about the BCC...did you go through a 6 hour "maybe" period with that one, like Alyce said one might? How would you describe it? It sounds yummy, but I had wondered if that would be too toothache sweet for me.

CCGal - I agree with Sea on the tarts she suggested. Cinnamon Sticks might be a strong enough one to try, too.

Well I'd heard from you about that 6 hour period so I thought it might be good to try one early. I love it! It could be a bit robust for some but I could just sit and smell the bag.. yumm.

No not too sweet but maybe too.. buttery for some?

I'll be interested in what you think, Bonza!

Butter Cream Crunch report:

I really like it! Sea's word "robust" is perfect to use - I was going to say "strong" but robust sums it up perfectly.

I do not smell cardboard and do not need the "6 hour" burn to form an opinion. It's really nice. I was thinking that the scent I smelled as dominant was something nutty, but after reading Alyce's description, it's the maple that stands out.

This tart fills my house with fragrance, nothing light about it at all. But it's a thumbs-up for me.

Mmmm... that sounds like a winner. I'm glad it turned out to be nothing like cardboard! Maple sounds much more pleasant. I'm glad in this case Alyce's description turned out to be different than your opinions.

Thanks for the reviews, Bonza and Sea!

Hukd - are you sure that's the Bonza Tart? That might be the Bonza Burner, where the tart sits inside the head and the scent emerges from his nostrils.

ROFLMAO!

Oh my gosh, I don't know the answer to that one! I just found this in my ramblings around the internet and copied the picture. I have no idea where I found it.

It costs a lot of money, so it must smell right purdy!

p.s. I hope it's o.k. that I snatched your kitties picture...she and Precious are sooooo cute!
