Thanks for the SP info Jukie! That sounds good but unfortunately with all the samples I got there was no SP. It'll have to go on the list for my next order (along with Green Tea and more Southern Vanilla).

I warmed my first BBCookie at work today and had someone enter our office from the main hallway to see what smelled so good--it even seeped under the door, lol. Everyone who came in loved it. Having the tarts at work is so nice because we aren't allowed to have candles and this is the first real scent-sation we have found (the hanging auto air freshners just don't cut it, lol.)

I came home and started a Fresh Squeezed Orange tart with 1 tp of Southern Vanilla--it is scrumptious! Just like an Orange Julius!

Oh, and these are all from my newest order and aren't really cured yet, so I am going to try to put the rest away and save them until the "proper time."

Holly, I wish we could take your rain away. We have been in a severe drought for the past 6 months and were rejoicing this morning when we got a whole 1/10" of rain.

I found out some interesting info from Alyce recently. I told her how much I like the Honeysuckle Vine, even though I don't consider myself a floral fan. She asked if I liked "Beach", which is one of my favorites! She said that must explain it, because HV and Beach are so close they could be sister scents. I have to dig out one of my Beach tarts out of my cart today, I think!

Also, she agrees on the Kristen's Sweet Passion - nice scent, but a very light throw. She said she has had that scent for the last 2 years, and she too can't figure out what it reminds her of, though it smells familiar! I think this one is going to be discontinued.

Cathie - If you like the smell of fresh strawberries, you will really like SP. It smells just like a fresh-picked batch. I like your Orange Julius mix! Sounds delicious.

That is great that the tarts are working out as a great alternative for your workplace. I think the BBCookie can draw out just about anybody!

Julip - interesting! I have a TP of Beach, fully cured. The description does not mention having a honeysuckle scent but it does mention jasmine. I think I know what I'll be trying today!

No Beach here.. oh I hope it is great for you Bonza (and him, too)

I did get a reply from Alyce. They have power and are not flooded. She says they are a bit higher than some areas.

Waffle Cone going here.

Sea- I know your house smells yummy today! I love WC.

I've got berry brulee on which I'm in love with. It kinda reminds me of boysenberry cookie for some reason. Nice and buttery. Pure yum. A definite reorder:-)

Julip- That's interesting what Alyce had to say about KSP. I have it on again today and I'm still really liking it. It's interesting. I'm curious to try my beach sample now too. Jasmine sounds nice:-) And of course apple fritters. So many tarts I want to warm.

BTW- you are so right about us not having any tart adaptors. I think it's time we owned a few. lmao.

Oh, the most important thing...

BLOOP BLOOP

I officially have Tivo!!! I can't believe I managed it on my own. Without any swearing. I still have to program the whole thing but the wires are all hooked up and I have a welcome screen. Woo-hoo. All that while the DH took a nap with the puglets. I didn't even have to call the sister's bf (YET).

Jasmine

I still smell Waffle Cone in the house and it's been off for 13 hours. Love that. :-)

Will start Beach in a little while. That's good news about Alyce. What a relief.

Joely- The pressure is on!!! Time to get that Tivo up and running. Remember our bet, I get your entire CC and tart collection if I did it first. You have my shipping address on file, Don't ya? Oh, I can't wait. It's going to be like Christmas.

Bonza- !!! Now, I'm on to step two. Activate service and program it. I'm going to go with the lifetime fee. Seems to make the most sense:-)

Yay, Jinksy!

I can't remember if I activated my service by phone or online, but I don't recall anything painful about that. I think I thought that I would only keep Tivo until my cable company began offering DVRs, so I didn't get Lifetime. Wrong. Now I've got both.

Jinksy, you are woman!

Sea, here is an "oversized" warmer on ebay that would work with your 4" ramekins:

BLOOP BLOOP!!

Yay! We are so proud of our little Jinkster! Don't you just love the little Tivo Guy? Hope the programming is done soon, and you are on your way to filling up your season passes. Be sure to check out the keyword search, too, so everything "pug" can be recorded for you. lol You are so ready to join the Geek Squad now - you've passed with flying colors!

Whoopee!

Bonza - I have Beach going strong in here, thanks to you! It is more "suntan lotion" than the Honeysuckle Vine, but Alyce is right, it is very sister-close to HV. Great beachy scent!

Jinksy - if you are liking the Kristen's Sweet Passion enough to reorder, better get going! She can't get anymore of the oil because that supplier closed down. And I appreciate you backing me up on the "no tart adaptors" theory. lol

Sea and Bonza - your houses definitely smell yummy with Waffle Cone wafting through!

Oh, and one more Tivo note - I remember signing up for lifetime service online, and it was super easy! Piece of cake after the set up.

Hi Joely!!

Thanks Cathie.. now I need to find out the brand name, but that looks pretty generic.

I had Beach going for about 5 hours today, turned it off to go out to dinner and it's been back on for a while... very nice, I like it a lot! Julip - I agree with you - it's more "suntan lotion", which makes it a perfect blend for me.

Sea, I went to our Hobby Lobby and bought one of their larger warmers. It will hold a 4" ramekin. I tried it with one of my 4" ones with three mini silicone cups and it was a great fit. It is a little pricy at $12.99 but has a blue lighted halo around the container, probably made to add a little pizazz to jar candles. The blue light is easily visible in the room but my flash was too bright for it to show in a photo. I'll try a non-flash too so you can see the effect.

They don't have any Hobby Lobbys in CA but it can be purchased online here:

I saw some on that other site with light like that and actually that would be a great feature to help remind someone that they haven't turned it off.

Thanks, Cathie; cute mini-silicups, too :-)

OH, it might be great with those "tart adaptors" too.. or a translucent ramekin or bowl..

The lighted one at the other site is $19.00.. so this is better..

Wow.. I found that same warmer from $12.50 - $33.00! And one place will give it to you free if you order $25 worth of their candle products..
