Hey, my tart! How cool, Cathie!

Sea - wait until tomorrow. In the meantime, I have one tartie of Vanilla Bean left and I am considering sprinkling some sugar on it and eating it!

Cathie - that's OK, no royalty necessary... but I might ask you to ship me some tamales someday.

Kidding about that, I have a source. I grew up in San Antonio and I see from your profile you are in TX!

OMG! The tamales my hairdresser gave me were to die for this year! She promised not to eat any tarts and I promised not to eat any husks!

Yum!!! Love tamales, but I think we can do without a tamale tart, lol.

My silicone baking cups came today from Amazon but I don't have my tarts yet.

I ordered the mini cups along with the regular ones, actually planning to bake in them (imagine that!) I haven't done any of the tarty parts yet but would there be any advantage to burning them "together" in the same ramekin but in individual cups so if you don't like the mix you can easily change them, or, is it necessary for them to actually combine to blend the fragrances?

Here's a shot of what I was attempting to say...

Cathie ~ I think you're on to something!!!

I mixed Orange and Vanilla tonight and loved it, but had I not, I could have just separated them!

I think that would work for sure!

Just bakery scents in general or any specific? Soyful Joys bakery scents?

Anyway sure seems like YC has a large variety for your scentual pleasure...

OK, I'm trying Vanilla Bean (I think)

Macintosh would be a fruit scent at Soyful Joys, though..
I had to turn off the Vanilla Bean.. my through has been scratchy and the VB was just too much, so I'll save the rest of the TP for when I feel perfect, so as to give it a good test.

landi - if you ever want to try some of Soyful Joys, Alyce has a lot of other great scents besides bakery ones! I tend to go for the bakery and spicy ones during cold weather seasons, but in the spring/summer, it is all about fruit and clean scents.

Costco has a great deal on TZ tape for the Brother labelers. $37.43 for a 4 pack of the standard 1/2" lamininated black on white tape. Too bad it was not a variety pack, but I do seem to use that size a lot.

They also have the PT-1900, but unfortunately I can't remember how much it was.

ETA: woo hoo, talking to myself. 5 posts in a row! Might be a record for me. lol

I keep reminding myself that I'm actually quite happy with my labeller, and the other night I looked at all the other labellers and then looked in the "consumables" tab areas and I like the prices of my tapes, too :-)

I love my labeller because it is compact, has no attachments or cords (I have ao many crazy cords around here!)

We have RAIN today! (I'm so grateful the rain came today and not yesterday. Yesterday I got myself out fairly early for me and drove to Costa Mesa to register for a class, then hit the post office for a new supply of stamped envelopes and a raft of two cent stamps.. I had a meeting at 1pm and realized I had plenty of time to work out at Curves before then, but as I drove up the street I decided I'd get some gas at $2.25 before it jumped up again and that was where Friday the 13th hit me. I pulled in next to a pump but there was a confused looking man at the pump in front of mine and he looked like he was leaving and I guess while I was watching him, I had a brainfart so I discovered, after going inside and paying, that I'd locked the keys into the car (the security system did this). But score another one for the cell phone which was not locked in the car (I had come close to just taking in my wallet and not my whole purse).. called Autoclub and they really got there in record time. AND I remembered, after I could get into the car, to pump the gas!

I still managed to get the Curves workout in before meeting with some of my knitting classmates, and after that was over I got sucked in by a new jigsaw puzzle that had been set up and finally headed home at 4:30pm. Came home to lovely tart scents.

Sea, I agree, the prices of label tape are ridiculous! You are lucky to be able to use something other than the TZs.

We have rain here today, too! It was 67 yesterday, but now it is 45 with a wind chill of 39. Crazy weather! We had a tornado warning and t-storms late last night, and now there is a wind advisory. Also expecting some snow showers very late tonight - but not holding out much hope. I am still waiting for our first snowfall, though it doesn't amount to much around here.

And so glad you had your cell phone on you to get back in your car!

Oh yes about the cell phone! And of course since I only got a cell last fall it is even better.

My brother said, after I went through that mess at the Long Beach Airport (but the cell was so useful) that his is always in the glove box but he admitted it wouldn't do much good in a locked car scenario..

I hadn't been to the Delphi Forum's Soyful Joys board in about a week...and I just read that Alyce will be discontinuing many of the seasonal scents - possibly even Sugared Vanilla Glaze! Just wanted to send out an alert if anyone planned to order that one!

Alyce is also asking for any suggestions or requests for Valentine scents. One she is thinking of getting is a strawberries and champagne one..mmmm. She said she has access to many of the Victoria's Secret dupe oils...so if there is one in particular that you like from VS, or any other Valentine's Day scents, you may want to put in a vote over there!

I just put in cinnamon sticks and love it! I think that the strawberry one would be awesome! I love the strawberry preserves that I've tried before!

Not much rain here... a little drizzle here and there.

SEA! So glad that you're cell phone came to your rescue twice now! Nice! :-)
