My latest tart order arrived today...yay! It's bitterly cold here (windchills way below zero), but I could still smell them in my mailbox. I thought for sure some of them would be cracked, but all is well. Root Beer Float smells awesome! Looking forward to warming that one! In my sampler bag I got Vineyard, Vanille Apricot, Dulce le Leche Cake and Cranberry Cobbler, all of which I've been wanting to try. Vineyard smells very nice! Some of the others from my sampler bag will be good for trading, I think!

Juli, I got my tarts today as well...thanks for the trade!

Joely, no bags here yet, but hopefully tomorrow.

No Joann for me tomorrow. After work I'm taking a friend to pick up her new car and then we're going to IKEA. I'm looking at getting myself organized. All of this tart enabling and stamping stuff has me searching for a new desk and shelving to organize it all. Will it never end? Ha ha, but the hunt is fun!

Paj - congrats on that great order and getting a sample bag that looks so good!

Sounds like a good plan for organizing.... don't forget a few baskets to hold the tarts on your new shelving. Pier 1 and Michael's have a lovely selection.

LOL at Paj--"Will it never end?" I'm thinking the same thing.

If you are looking for some great looking baskets, Joann's has tons of really nice ones right now and pssst...they're on sale this weekend--50% off, Sat to Mon.

Holly - thanks for the report on all the varieties of colors that warmer comes in - wow, great decor colors. I feel a trip to Jo-Ann's coming on. Great enabling work!

And if you don't like Sugar Cookie, I am sure you will have no problem trading them out here or at Delphi - they are a hot commodity, being sold out! Still, I bet you will still like it...it is a great cookie scent ... just with more of a cinnamon note than the FBC.

LOL Bonza about your car keeping you from getting to Jo-Ann's - that is about what it would take!

lmao Joely about my having the "in" with my mail lady since I am her tart drug dealer. So far, so good...but if expected packages of tarts start mysteriously disappearing, I have a #1 suspect!

And thank you so much for letting me know you got the tarts! I hope you enjoy them as much as I am enjoying the ones you sent - great trade!

Paj - thanks for letting me know your tarts got to you, too! Thank you for the trade...I have to say that I'm a little happy that Blackberry Sage doesn't agree with you. lol Your latest tart order sounds wonderful!

And I love it that you are on a quest for the perfect tart and stamping organization furniture! And no, it will never end! Bwa ha ha.

Sea - you got your tarts too? Great? Glad they made it to you ok!

Holly - thanks for the info about the baskets and sale at Jo-Ann's! You forgot to add this - lol.

<phew> I think I'm caught up!

Jinksy - "Did they have purple? Be still my heart. lol."

LMAO I thought the very same thing when I read Holly's post.

And thank you again for your mix idea, I love Strawberry Waffle Delight! Bonza captured the magic of that mix perfectly with her name for it, without even getting a whiff of the actual combo.

I thought we would already have some JoAnn's reports this morning.

Buehler?

Anyone?

I know I'm going to have a look later today...

LOL Bonza - "Buehler?"

Everyone is having trouble making it back to the computer while unloading their car of warmers and baskets from Jo-Ann's.

lol about your Waffle Cone angst!

Morning everyone :-) I dashed into JoAnn's before work and picked up a light green burner. And Jinksky--they DO have purple

Julip, I meant to tell you--that "lady with the 4 cats" gif you posted earlier was a riot. Yup, that would be me if I added 2 tonks. Bonza came up with a great excuse for me though--square footage! Thanks, Bonza, you've saved me a lot of $$$. (And litter box cleaning--phew!) I haven't ordered the Margaritaville yet, Julip, and in fact just scored one in a trade. (I haven't forgotten you.) And I'm sure I'll like the SC's but as you said, can trade them off if I don't.

I was wondering if we could begin a thread for "Tart Recipes" because a lot of great combo's have been posted, but I don't have a lot of time each day to keep up on the reading, so if I need to pour through the archives to find something, I usually just avoid it. If there was one separate thread to put "recipes", that would be really helpful. What do you think--too much trouble or what? It would also help keep some of us straight on all the abbreviations, LOL.

Ooo yeah! Up with Tart Reviews, maybe Sea could start a Tart Recipe area! :-)

Creamsicle - Fresh Squeeze OJ and really any vanilla!

good morning gals! Julip - did you pass out because they have purple?

Hi Joely :-) (Expecting my baggies today, I hope)

No fair!! This was supposed to be my first full day of working in my home office in over two weeks. Now I feel a trip to JoAnn's coming on. But I really do appreciate the info. Thank you!

Unfortunately, I also feel a cold coming on. I have to laugh at myself. My biggest concern about getting a cold now is whether I'll be able to smell tarts burning.

Heh heh, Holly. Feel free to add that to your Delphi messages when you inevitably bring home your Tonk pair.

And absolutely no worries on the Margaritaville. I was happy to see you found some on the swap/sell. You may even find you don't care for it enough to have a 1/2 bag, which is fine! It will be more of a spring/summer scent for me - I'm still working through all my winter scents!

I love your idea for a "Tart Recipe" folder! I'm all for it. I keep forgetting to add to the Review folder, too.

Joely - Jinksy probably passed out more than I did, since she is even more the purple girl...but when I saw "deep purple" I about hyper-ventilated. lol I bet Bonza did, too. And the pale green. Yikes!

Oh no, CCGal! Get better soon so you can enjoy your tarts pronto!

One more thing I keep forgetting to ask you, Julip. What does 'clean type' mean? Is there a perfume called clean or something? (So much to learn, such little time, lol)

Bonza- I don't blame you for not wanting to mix your precious waffle cone with anything. Why mess with perfection? lol.

Joely- The mailman came today and the only thing in there was a season one DVD of Grey's Anatomy from a friend. Woo-hoo. No bags though. It seems I'm usually about two days behind Julip's deliveries from CA. I'll email you of course when they get here. Always a relief to know the mail you sent made it:-)

Holly- That's great news about the purple warmer at Joann's. Thank you for that info. I'm hoping to get there this weekend.

Sea - I received the tarts today - thanks! And I am sure my mail lady got a real kick out of seeing after my name, ",Tart Guru". lol.

Holly - do you have a site where you can store images, such as webspace offered by your server? If not, sign up at www.photobucket.com, and that will then provide you with a direct url link to your image. I'll send you an email with the html code to include in your Delphi messages.

Oh, and also - Clean (type) is indeed a perfume! I sniffed the real thing last week, and fell in love with it! If you like the "clean" scents, you would like this. They carry it at Nordies and Sephora. Clean also makes one called Sweet Layer, among others. I like both, but like the original Clean a bit more.

So Holly made it to Jo-Ann today - good job! I didn't, but soon...

Julip - I think you should start requesting all your tarts be sent with Delivery Confirmation, just in case your mail carrier gets any ideas.

lmao Bonza - I think you have a good point there. So far, so good, but she is getting more hooked each day, so who knows how far the desperation will take her. lol

Speaking of the mail, Alyce told me that she has a so many postal workers hooked, from the workers at the sorting centers who email her to tell her they stopped a package on the belt to sniff it, to the mail carriers who deliver her packages to customers. Isn't that a riot?
