Paj I just now found it in the "Delete" bin!?! Some of my other mail gets put right in there too. Not junk mail, mind you, but Deleted Items! I'm off to answer you right now!

Holly- I haven't tried the lime blossom yet but I've heard good things. Woo-hoo for you, looks like you scored some at Delphi:-)

Sure did :-) That was the fastest "score" ever, huh? Hope your ISO tomorrow will be as lucky, Jinksy.

Well thanks to Paj, I have had my very first experience with Soyful Joys tarts! The cold smell of the 3 she sent are yummy and I warmed the Cranberry Cobbler for just about an hour or so before we went out for a good 2 1/2 hours and I came home to the house STILL smelling nice and fruity and yummy even though it had been turned off for all that time! It didn't make me think of Nyquil AT ALL and was surprised to just go through what people thought and found that report! Just has a nice citrusy smell here! Thanks again Paj! I don't feel left out anymore.

Holly, I just sent you a PM (email thru TVCH). :-)

BTW, I used to absolutely LOVE the pineapple scent from Partylight. Supposedly, pineapple is supposed to be a welcoming scent. At least, that's what it means in Hawaii. I'm thinking I may have to try tiki or another pineapple scent from Alyce.

I love pomegranate, in both tart and in real life - our fridge is always stocked with pom juice - I just can't get enough of it. The pomegranate tart was a very nice one, but just not popular. Bird of Paradise is one of my favorites now because of it, so I hope it is one that sticks around.

As for pineapple...boy, do I love eating fresh pineapple! But, I can't remember if I liked the straight pineapple scented tart, which was called Pineapple Supreme. I had only tried a sample awhile back. Costa, pineapple is indeed a welcome symbol . I've seen lots of ornamental house decorations with a pineapple theme.

Ooh - I have not tried my Vanille Banane sample yet - I can't wait to try it - nice to know it was one you liked, Jinksy!

Holly - I have tried the Lime Blossom and really liked it, as I like true lime scents as oppposed to candy lime scents. It was very true. Maybe a hint of sweetness, but not too much.

Vanille Banane is in the batting cage!

So, today I stop in Marshalls after not being in there for a couple of months, and what do I find? Grestel ramies! No, not the polka dot ones, but the equally as adorable blue ones that Jinksy found for herself a month or two ago. Jinksy, do you still have the photo? I can't remember where it might be in the archives. lol

They are so cute! Love them. Maybe the polka dot ones are soon to follow.

Just a question about Soyful Joys shipments...I know Alyce is catching up and I understand her situation, but I am wondering if my last shipment was overlooked. I don't want to bother her or complain, as I totally understand if she hasn't gotten to it yet. I placed two recent orders, one on 2-23 and another on 3-2. Last week I received the notice that the 3-2 order was shipping. I emailed her and asked if they were shipping out of order, as I had never received a notice of the 2-23 one. She responded quickly that the shipping notice was in error, it was actually the 2-23 order being shipped, which I did receive two days later. At that time, 9 days ago, she said she was 8 orders away from my 3-2 one. I am thinking that maybe in the confusion she forgot my 3-2 order. Has anyone received shipment notification on an order placed on 3-2 or later?

I realize I could email Alyce about this, but I don't want to add to her stress if I can help it.

Oh, I am enjoying Pear Glace tonight in a cute IKEA ramie thanks to Sea! :-)

Cathie, can't help you on that since I've had no orders in for awhile.

Glad you like the tarts AND the ramie! I'm quite happy with the box I got today

Glad you like the contents and the box, Sea! We are moving in two weeks (first move in 27 years!) and I am finding lots of boxes I didn't even know I had, lol.

I now have a tarty part of BNB going (Thanks again Paj!) and I'm thinking the "part" amount is a better size for our house. My son started complaining a bit that the cranberry could be smelled all through the house. Anyway, I'm wondering on tips for cutting the last full tart I have so I do it without making a mess of it or wasting any. What's your method of cutting? Large knife on a cutting board? I'll be grateful for any tips.

I use a sharp paring knife on a paper plate. The ones I have tried are cut with very little effort.

Cathie- the other day on the SJ website, I saw Alyce post that she had just begun 3/1 orders. So, I have a feeling you'll get the notice anytime now.

Julip- Great score on the Grestel ramis! Here's the picture to go along with them..

There they are - so adorable! Thanks, Jinksy, for pulling the pic out your archives. I didn't even want to attempt to go through the posts here to find it. lol

Can't wait for the Vanille Banane! One of my friends who has similar scent tastes as mine loves every single one of the "Vanilles", so I intend to try then all. Have you tried any of the others? The only other one I've tried is Vanille Cannelle, and it deserves every rave it has received on Delphi - delicious! It is a touch spicy, though, so not sure if you would like it.

Watching, I'm glad you're enjoying the tarts. I agree about splitting the full tarts in half. Some of them are just too strong. Some are not, though, so it's a matter of trial and error. I've had a full Root Beer Float going for several nights and it's very light. Surprising, because it seemed so strong cold. Such is life in the tart world!

I just noticed the "closed" notice is gone from Alyce's site. There is a new notice that new scents will be added on March 20, so I am betting most people will wait 'til then to place a new order.

Thanks for the note about your order shipping, Paj!

After a 6 month hiatus from these boards, I was bored at work and thought I would stop by. I don't know if I should be happy or mad. I just ordered the sampler pack and I'm heading out soon to the local BB&B to look for ramies and silicone cups. I'll probably hit Michael's after work. I loooooove good smells in my house, especially having a dog. It tends to smell like Eau de Dog when I walk in. I am very excited to receive my shipment and will check in when I get it....I'm very excited to find out about these. Happy Friday to everyone!!!
