Joely- The tree sounds great. I can just imagine all the ornaments on the very last branch skimming the floor so you can't slide the presents under. Adorable. Sounds like the boys and you had a fun night. BTW- I did not see the ladder Santa this year at Costco but have gotten some great ones there in the past. It sounds so cute to put by the tree.

Since- The soy tarts are Julip's favorite. Unfortunately, you can't eat them. But, you can put them on a warmer and scent your whole house up. It makes everything warm and cozy. Here is the link- http://www.soyful-joys.com/ BTW- Love your Christmas light story. I think the Charlie Brown touch makes them even better. LOL

Watching- Congratulations on your daughter's engagement. She sounds happy and he seems like a good guy. Asking your DH's permission is a nice touch.

Good Morning Gals! (and lurking men!)

I ordered tarts for a few gifts (and for myself!) and now I'm off to Michael's to look at their tart warming products as well as buy little plastic bags for my new batch that I'll receive just in time for Christmas. :-)

Since ~ If I make it to your area to visit my best friend before Christmas (as I keep telling her, there's an 8% chance of it happening), I'm going to have to do a drive by on your Charlie Brown house... I love it! It sounds like a RMAO'er.

Good Morning everyone....I'm wrapped in my robe, drinking a cup of coffee and having a lazy morning! Help me to get off my butt!!

Jinksy...did you scroll back and see the Christmas tree pictures I posted? There's one I snapped because I immediately thought of your girls..lol!

Joely, I'll come down to Sandy Eggo for a Cozy Chic Coffee Convention. Let me know when.

btw...I saw your adorable boys decorating your Christmas Tree as BAREFOOT DREAMS danced through their cute little heads!! You need to post those pictures in this thread so others won't miss them! They are simply adorable!!

Hi Coco, I'm glad you pointed out the Christmas tree pictures you posted. Can you believe I missed it? I didn't realize there were two more pages I hadn't seen. Oh, I love the dog theme tree with pug front and center. So nice to hear that you thought of me when you saw it. I swear with all my pug ornaments and pug stuffed animals, I could make a nice little pug theme tree. Enjoy your lazy morning, I had one of those already and now mine has turned into a lazy afternoon too! I have to get showered and get a few things done. It's snowing outside and I just don't feel like doing much of anything today. Enjoying my third cup of coffee in my CC robe. Ahhh....

Precious found a little slice 'o' heaven on seaglass yesterday afternoon...



It looks blue to me after getting it out of the camera, but she's on seaglass...

My bf is going down to Sandy Eggo next month, for a rugby tour. I told him he'd have to make a side trip to the CC palace, and buy me some stuff. I think he thinks I am serious....I'm not doing anything to change that....LOL

Julip/Jinsky~ DARN! My mouth was watering thinking about eating those tarts! But if I can't eat them at least I can burn them! I now see (after a Google search) that there is a whole industry of soy goodies out there to burn...and I had never heard of them!!! I am not finding any pictures on Alyce's site. Are hers just chips of wax or do they look like the food they smell like? The idea is like Potpourri right? I learn something new everyday here! I am definitely going to order this because I love the idea!!!Thanks!

Joely~ If I have my way...we have alot of wind here (like last night)..the "wind" could possibly be responsible for blowing the lights down...soon..

I would love to drive down after the holidays! Fun! I sure need some of that! I have to get my butt in gear and go cover/seal off my entire downstairs with plastic so when they come to refinish my wood floors the dust doesn't get into anything. Brand new house...they have to redo the whole floor again!

Rosie~ Absolutely will meet you for coffee!

Can I just say...I just went to the "other" thread to see where to send my address for the swatch's ( Meggie I am sure the chewed colors still look like the weaved colors...).

I don't understand the constant problems about topics of discussion of this thread that has followed it everywhere it has been. If someone comes to this (or the other) thread they know what to expect. The thread is a reflection of the people that post in it. Joely is not the sole provider of Barefoot Dreams. If people don't like a thread they don't have to go there to get the product. The only person that can complain is Joely IMHO because it is her business! Even when we were in the BB thread I got so tired of the constant complaining! It was ONE thread! We contained all of our talk in it...it was named appropriately. So if they see CC in the title (or Janie's robe) they can just say "Oh lets stay away from that thread because I don't like the way the people are all over the place...etc!! It is that easy!!!

Like if I saw a thread that said "Reasons why I love Maggie" I would not enter cause I am not interested. It certainly would not have bothered me if one thread had been about Maggie's dogs either.

I have finally gotten this off my chest...it has been there since BB!

Amen Since! I am slow or something because honestly I don't really understand the difference between them so I am guilty of rambling off on either one. It is obviously the same cast of characters, an unruly bunch for sure, lol!

I am just mortified about the swatch book by the way. Not to mention all our books are now at risk.

Meggie~ I have a kitty (Ali Bali) who chews on all paper products! I should have called her Ray Bradbury...Fahrenheit 451...no books allowed...They did not have to burn them, just let out kitties at them! I can't leave even a magazine around or it will be shredded!

This is new- or I would have carefully hidden everything- my brand new copy of Phil Lesh's autobiography has a chewed corned now. Ack! Michael is photographing the swatch book- and as he picked it up he said "Oh my!" So now we have a juvenile delinquent kitty to deal with.

Mine particularly likes "corners" (of books, boxes, magazines) they must be the most tasty!

Hi Since! The soy tarts actually look like little tarts, without the fancy "pie crust" type edging - I have heard of people accidentally biting into them, thinking they were food. They kind of are the shape of a big smooth edge peanut butter cup. They are all this shape, though recently Alyce started using color to reflect the scent - i.e. purple for one of my very favorites, Blackberry Sage. She did this for awhile at the beginning, then started just making them white, then earlier this year started coloring some again. In the past she even put a little design, such as a little carrot design for a carrot cake one. For another favorite of mine, Cini Buns, she sprinkles with cinnamon. I'll email you with other details since I have some great tips about ordering and getting started with the tarts. :o)

Julip~ Thanks! One more question that comes to mind; do they melt down into a pool of soy wax? Do they do it gradually or as soon as they heat up? I can't wait!

I know one person right now that will eat them...my mom! She picks up everything and munches on it! Once when she was at my brother's house, he handed her a bone (first clue) shaped cookie to give to their poodle whom she was holding (second clue) and she proceeded to eat it! Never mind the poodle was squirming to get the treat that was rightfully hers...My brother just watched her eat it and when she was finished asked her how she liked it? She said it was very good! He then let her in on the fact that she had just polished off a dog treat! She asked for seconds!LOL!!!

I was just thinking...mom who eats dog cookies, DH who eats cat food...I see a pattern...

Since- LOL. I bet with your family, you could serve up those soy tarts on a platter for the holiday dinner. That is a hoot about your Mom and the dog treats. BTW- They seem to melt down to a pool of soy wax as soon as they heat up. Not too gradually:-) You are going to love them!

Hi Since - I just emailed you a novel about soy tarts lol, but for anyone else who is interested, the soy wax liquifies, but it does not evaporate - so once the scent is gone, you still have just as much soy wax as when you started. You simply pour out the warmed wax straight into the trash, or you can put the ramekin (or whatever receptacle you choose for the melting) into the freezer for 20-30 minutes, then pop out the wax and throw another tart in. I have a whole collection of ramekins so that I can keep it going, and trade scents during the day on a whim. :o)

LOL Your mom sounds like a riot! What a gal - she didn't miss a beat.

Julip - What's this about stone? Is Bonza getting another CC order? I guess it's time to order more CC backdrops for kitty pictures. LOL. My seaglass throw is coming tomorrow. I can't wait! I must tell you, I have been wearing my new hoodie robe all day. It's so cozy and I love the cream color. A girl can never have too much CC stuff:-)

Since, see if you can find a DO (doctor of osteopathy) and get an adjustment on your jaw.. my first one was very painful but made a gigantic difference in my jaw!

And yes, go meet Rosie.. she's wonderful!!

I'd happily drive out that way to see both of you.. don't get to see Rosie often enough!! (not since Juju brought snow to SoCal on her way to Thailand :-) Actually Rosie got the snow, we just got lots of rain.

And I don't drink coffee, so you and Rosie could have it ALL.

Bonza- Your newest pictures are beautiful. I especially love the way Precious curled right into her little slice 'o' heaven on seaglass. Doesn't get any better then that. In my next life, I want to come back as one of your kitties. LOL.

Jinksy - I am not sure, I think it might be a possibility, but we better not say anything more..Precious might be peeking at the computer.

Oh boy! Puglets on seaglass coming up! :o)

Oh, and I see we were typing at the same time a few posts up lol - takes me longer to edit. :o) I see you also answered a part of Since's question that I forgot to!
