I can't believe how long my one tart has lasted - and now my son has smuggled it into his room, where it still smells nice because the room is small and he keeps his door closed. However, I have my order on its way now, and I'm going to drag him with me to go shopping for more candle warmers and ramekins! There is a price to pay for confiscating my stuff!

Pretty nice that he likes it, Merry! Lots of boy-type rooms could use some soy tart therapy!

You'll be in heaven when your order arrives!!

It'll be fun making Kevin go shopping with me! He might even find one he likes so I can have mine back! (Of course, that doesn't mean I can't have more than one!)

OK, I'm gonna do it - place my first tart order. Is it better to start with Tarty Parts to sample smells? Right now I'm still in winter scents mode. Thinking about BNB, Spiced Orange Cider, Vanilla Hazelnut Swirl. Should I just place full orders for these tried & true scents? Any other suggestions for a beginner? I found my Salton beverage warmer (before they were used for candles). I have glass (pyrex I think)ramekins to use (if they will work) until I can shop for some cute/colorful new ones.

Read that seasonal scents are soon to be discontinued - are there any I should try while I have still have a chance?

Citrus... sounds like you're all set up with the beverage warmer and glass ramekins! Perfect!

I think if I was starting out, I would order a bunch of tart parts because you'll be able to tell which ones you'll want to keep in large quantities. (if you like BNB when it's in the oven, just buy a bag!) :-)

... stand by for Julip's reply on the discontinued scents!

I have a shipping question. I received a Paypal notice on 1-11 that my shipment was mailed, with a tracking number included. So far, the tracking number shows no activity, like it is still waiting to be picked up. Does this mean it hasn't really been mailed yet? Will I get a separate email from Alyce when it is really mailed? Can you tell I'm anxious????????

Citrus, I've used glass, so that should be fine. I think you are completely safe with a whole bag of BNB :-)

I just took off the Japanese Pear and Ginseng.. I swear my throat feels better!

Put on VHS just now.

Cathie, that is a USPS shipping number and frankly, I never really seem to get great info out of them.. I'd bet anything you'll get your order on Tuesday (Monday being a PO holiday). I don't blame you for being antsy..

Sea~ Thanks for the info.

Did the Japanese Pear help your throat feel better or does it feel better because you took off the Japanese Pear & Ginseng?

Whatever works - glad you are feeling a little better.

I think it made it feel better!! But I sure didn't make that even close to clear up there, huh?

LOL, I was wondering the same thing, Citruscitygal.

Thanks for the info, Sea--I guess the good news is that they should be closer to cure when I receive them!

Boy - you gals have been busy while I was away for the evening!

Holly - who are you meeting up with today? Do tell! Is Sea right?

Merry - so glad to hear that your son is enjoying the tart too! Hope you both have fun shopping for the tart accessories!

CCGal - yes, it is true - most seasonals will mostly likely be discontinued to make room for new scents in Alyce's scent oil cabinet. I will check the other board in a bit to get the latest scoop.

Cathie - Sea is right about the USPS tracking - I have rarely gotten any other info from that # other than when it went out and when it was delivered. Once you get the shipping notice from Alyce, it means it is just about to go out, for sure. Hopefully you will be in tart heaven on Tuesday!

CCGal - I agree with Joely about starting out with TPs to make sure you don't get stuck with a whole bag of s scent you don't like. Although, I also agree with both Joely and Sea that you can't go wrong with a whole bag of BNB - it seems to be universally liked, and I am sure someone here would be more than happy to buy the rest from you if you did not care for it for some reason! All the scents you are thinking of are winners in my book.

Sea - that is interesting about the Japanese Pear& Ginseng! I have not tried that one.

woo hoo, Holly! Please tell her we all say hi! Try to get a photo of the two of you - though I'm not sure if she'll go for it.

You lucky girl, meeting the Queen of Tarts herself!

...and be sure to let us know what all you ordered!

Oh boy! Mary aka Mrs. B. is a terrific lady. Did you buy some tarts from her? I have not been on that board too much lately, and just yesterday I saw there were about 650 posts to catch up on there! Never going to happen lol.

She sure is, Juli. I am just now starting to feel like I can manouver around the Delphi board. I've never felt so computer illiterate in my life...I sent emails to several wrong people (by answering the last post posted, lol) and even sent one to myself, LOL. I must have come across as being very "challenged". And yes Juli, I don't think catching up with 650 posts is gonna happen.

Oh if it isn't too late, tell her Lynn says hi, too!! Get a picture if possible!!

Julip, I can arrange for you to try JP&G.. I just ordered a SECOND full bag! And the body mist in that fragrance too..

Holly, I saw a post you made, that looked GOOD, on that board.

All those sparkly sigs make me a bit woozy, though and it is hard to believe I couldn't get Seamonkey, Devilduckie or Quackle as a name.. I mean QUACKLE? pfft

Hey Sea! Did you mean for me to tell Alyce "Hi"? I'm just leaving now--meeting her in 20 mins or so. Will let you know how it goes.
Thanks for saying it looked good--I think after a week I'm finally getting it right, LOL.

Holly - I have replied to my own messages at Delphi several times myself...and I've been posting at various forums over there for almost 7 years! LOL. It does take a lot of getting used to, I agree.

Sea - thank you for the offer of the JP&G! And I can't believe all your forum user name choices were all taken!

I have a feeling all the oil is used up for Sugared Vanilla Glaze .

Mama - yay! Another Blackberry Sage fan. Isn't that one soothing? I have been concentrating mostly on my bakery and spicy tarts lately, but I enjoy the Blackberry Sage every day in the body products.
