Bonza - I was surprised the Honeysuckle Vine didn't make me sneeze, as I have the worst hayfever...but it could be because I was melting it on the warmer furthest from me. I bet I would have been a sneezing mess if I had it on the one right by me! I'm glad to hear your TX friend likes it. That will be great if you end up liking some opposite scents so you can swap out if you find one that does not agree with you.

Hmmm...maybe I am a floral fan. lol. I never thought of myself as a bakery scent fan until I found Alyce's tents, but I think that is what I order the most of now!

Those crazy, finicky cats!

Hmm Creamy scented tart.. I'll have to think about it. But I only have three KS left.. (sever Honeysuckle Vine and I do think it has more potential, but it made me sneeze)

I'm playing it safe with Butter Cream Crunch for now.

Holly, that Red Velvet Cake sounds amazing, doesn't it?

Oh Sea ~ look at you placing yet ANOTHER order! It looks fantastic and I'd probably order the exact same ones IF I was going to place an order! ahem... Jinksy??? RMAO!!!

Holly ~ the butter is STILL on the underside of Kael's bed. Thankfully, powder doesn't fall up or I would have had a buttered AND powdered underside of the bed. The powder is cleaned up and the butter will be after tonight. I'm giving the boys each a piece of bread! jk

I've had Blackberry Sage going all day and love it! It's time for something new though...

Julip ~ that mix was a suggestion from Alyce

Bonza ~ BIG

OH NO!! I was inspired to place a new order and I went to the site and it is closed until Thursday. I am going to forget what I want. Oh no oh no

lol I just realized I wrote "tents" instead of "tarts in my 5:21pm post. I must have cat tents on the brain, though I'm not shopping for any at the moment!

Mama - I just noticed that too! At least you can rest assured that everyone is locked out, so you don't have to worry about any sell outs. I'm hoping when they reopen, the website will be redesigned - a few clues are the new links that go directly to designer scents and seasonal scents on the left menu. hmmmm...?

Joely - just because you are not the one to have clicked the button does not mean you didn't place an order! Now, are you sure you didn't place an order? Bwa ha ha.

And I thought that recipe sounded familiar! I thought maybe you figured it out all by yourself, as creative as you are. The Strawberry Crunch Cookies (1/2 Strawberry Preserves + 1/2 Sugar Cookie (last year's, not the new one) was also an Alyce recipe.

Oh! Another good one she has shared is the Baked Apples plus 1/2 Cini Buns to make Apple Fritters. Can you see a pattern of why I chose the ones I keep in stock in bags? lol

Mama - that's so disappointing! Make your list (so you won't forget) and try again Thursday night.

That's odd but maybe she got a bunch of orders? (not that I've heard of any but mine).. I do know when I wanted to add fresh baked cookies, Alyce was thinking it was sugar cookies and said she was trying to keep track of orders and write it all down so she'd know when she runs out.. ACK!

As for Apple Fritters, uh.. I had an encounter with some real Apple Fritters tonight (thus cancelling out three weeks of Curves workouts) and I'm feeling a bit queasy..

I have a question. When you get a sample bag are they separated or come all together? I'm wondering if they come together if the scents tend to get mixed up with the others?

Only when they mail things to Rochester New York do they mix them all together so you are stuck with a bag full of "mystery tarts." So sad for you Watching!

Watching2, the samples are in one bakery bag, but wrapped individually in the poly bags. I have not had any problem with my tarts from Alyce mixing scents with others, although I did separate my dozen coffee bean tarts from all my other ones since they seem so very strong.

It's a "buy it now" for $13.95 + 6.25 shipping. It's up for another 1 day 16 hrs. Now hopefully this URL will work cuz it did when I pasted it in word. :-) Pug Warmer

Watching - looks like somebody is scanning ebay for tart warmers! Is a sample bag order imminent?

I am hoping the temporarily store closing has to do with the unveiling of the newly designed website! I think the webmaster has been working on it, and some unexpected issues were popping up, such as the flat rate box charge reverting to the old price before the USPS rate hike, and the gift certificate button disappearing.

rmao Bonza - it's always nice to see DLR make an appearance again! How I have missed him.

Apple Fritters!

Joely- Good for you that you are resisting a new order with Alyce!!! You must be so strong. Bwa ha ha.

Watching- Cute pug warmer:-) I'm heading to Ebay to check it out! Good find, thanks for sharing.

Bonza- Apple fritters sound delicious! I'd like one right now. Yummy.

Of course, YOUR PUGS are much CUTER than the picture of this one! Maybe you should take one of those adorable pictures and MAKE ONE you lovely pug owners.
Think that pug looks ticked off or sumthin' LOL

Since I'm financially "challenged" at this point in time, I spend a lot of time "window shopping" online! I can't believe how many tart sellers there are on ebay, of course, none with all of the kudos here!!! I was actually thinking it might be fun to buy one of those tart making kits someone has for sale, but then I'd probably not do it and it would be something I'd be storing or think I should have never gotten it and should sell it. Master of good intentions gone bad!!! heh heh

Wants to know who Bonza got to put the tart in their mouth?!! Hmmmmmmm?!!!! ROFL

Joely - That's it - I agree. Jinksy broke the store. heh heh.

Mmmm on the lime blossom! It sounds delicious!

Today was the Changing of the Tarts, and now I have going:

Berry Brulee, courtesy of Sea. Thank you Sea! You were right about this one - it is delish! It has just the right amount of syrupy fruit goodness. Love it. It smells like I'm baking the real thing.

Also, Coconut Pear! This I had to try after Bonza raved about it. It is a very fresh and delicious scent. Thanks for enabling me to try it out today, Bonza!

Also, Bonza - . Did you get that Apple Fritter started yet?

Coconut Pear - a hit for me as well!

Julip - no Apple Fritter yet - I generally have only one warmer going at a time and I'm not ready to stop Coconut Pear yet. It smells like I'm eating a pear while applying suntan lotion.
