Sea - I do believe Alyce said she'd be bringing Fresh Baked Cookies back. I think I remember reading that at the official S-J Delphi site, and maybe Julip can confirm that when she checks in here. Or maybe she will tell me I am sadly mistaken...

Bonza- I heard the same thing about FBC! I think it was from Julip. That is great news indeed. It is so delicious. Sea- outdoor timer with light sensor means only one thing.... the palm tree will be coming out of the box soon.

Oops, I know how to spell "answered", my mouse doesn't... I got an email from Alyce--my order from Feb. 23 was shipped today so I'm guessing she may have a few more days to catch up (I had another order on 3-2 so we can see how long that one takes.)

Cathie, how exciting!! You have much to look forward to! I hope I'll get to assemble my palm tree tomorrow but probably not if it is raining.. however I now own a timer with light sensor and a 25 ft outdoor cord and some lavender electrical tape for covering everything that might be rained upon.. Also found out that one of the outdoor plugs was a figment of my imagination.. sigh.. I have a fair amount of re-arranging outside since I want the palm tree to be in view when I sit here at the computer.

Woo hoo! Are we forming a line for the FBC? Great sleuthing, Cathie. Jinksy - I can't believe you haven't tried Blackberry Sage yet! I think you will love it. You can still be a supersaver if you cram the flat rate box with the body products in the Blackberry Sage also, which you will inevitably want, too. lmao. Have you tried Black Raspberry & Vanilla, by chance? I thought it smelled just like Blackberry Sage, though some others thought they were distinctly different. Talking about body products, I got my roll-on perfume in the Clean, and I really like it! It has been awhile since I smelled the real thing, but I think it is just about an exact dupe. Sea - what a bad timing for it be raining so much! I am looking forward to seeing that palm in all its glory.

Sea - good luck when weather permits the construction of the palm. It sounds like you got all the necessary safety equipment!

Are the tarts you found at JoAnns soy? I really want to try a soy tart to compare it to the regular wax ones I have. They're really lasting a long time and I poured one out and DH asked WHY because he said it smelled just FINE in the little can I poured it into!! I'm thinking I should find some broken long candles, melt the wax and stick some wicks in those for outside on the deck or down at my brother's at the beach or something!! Figures..just as I was putting together an order, the site went down, but I guess I should thank them since money is tight and I really shouldn't be buying anything that isn't a neccessity. (Of course a necessity means different things to different people!)

OK, take this for what it's worth but Alyce emailed me that she is 8 orders away from my March 2 order. I don't know how many were placed after I did the March 2 one but I think the site closed on March 3 (can anyone confirm this?), so we should be getting close! Watching, I haven't tried Joann's tarts but I have tried some other non-soy ones. What I found to be the best thing about Alyce's tarts was the trueness of the scent, very much like the real flower, baked item, etc. Her tarts can also fill a house, not just a room, with scent. I used to discard used ones after warming for 3-4 days but now I save them to use in drawers, as they still have some good cold scent left.

Well, I was off on the date. In looking at our archives it was first mentioned on Sunday, March 5th that the site was closed. Still, there is hope...

Good tip on the used scents, Cathie. I never know what to do with the tarts I only burn for a day but want to try something else. I usually just throw them out as I had a pile of rammies sitting around with melted tarts in them. I suppose I could bag them up but they're usually wider than the 3" bags once they're melted. Do you have no problem with the tart staining anything in the drawers?

Watching2....the tarts I saw at Joann's were not soy. Have not melted one yet. Just got them to try because I don't have Alyce's tarts. (Happy tarting everyone. )

I saw Soy tarts in Joann's yesterday. They were flat rectangular bars (like a bar of chocolate but not as wide or as thick)and cost $1.10 or something like that. I would imagine you'd just break a square off to melt. So they also have Soy as well as wax.}

Holly, I don't know what size sili-cup that Sea enabled me with, but once the tart has cooled down, I just put it back in the bag it came in. So it gives me a chance to try one for a bit and if it becomes a bit too much, I can bag it for later. (Some of the sweeter scents are a bit too sweet for me. I'm more of a spicy kinda gal! )

Holly, I loosely wrap them in a Kleenex when I put them in a drawer, just in case, but I checked a couple of the Kleenexes and they weren't stained.

I'm meeting some friends from high school this weekend and I'm thinking about enabling them (hee hee!), but am wondering if it's really not a good idea since some of them have small children. Is there an age when it would be safe? Any ideas? Thanks!

Holly, if you aren't using silicups or have some bigger than mine, you can get larger bags at Michael's in the candy supply dept. Wilton makes them 3 x 4 and 4 x 6.. clear Mini Treat Bags.. But something more porous, like the kleenex makes sense if you want the scent to permeate a drawer area. Good idea, Cathie!

I think Joely's been ok and she has two little guys. So far my cats have shown no interest, luckily.

Thanks Holly! I can manage to spend a buck or two here or there..maybe.. LOL I really do want to try the soy! I actually found something DH likes - he turns the warmer on himself! It's just that I only have the 2 scents that I picked up at Michaels and would love to try something else, esp. something made of soy! Yay!

Has anyone seen any of the Yankee Candle tarts that are cube shaped? I saw some at Linins "N Things yesterday and they had both the old tart shaped ones and some cube ones of the same scents. I haven't seen them before so I assume the cubes are new. They are a little larger than a single TP, and would fit well in a mini sili cup. Oh, and for anyone wanting to try a blend of two or more SJ scents, Alyce's TPs fit neatly into the mini sili cups and you can place up to three mini silis into most ramekins. The scents blend but you can still later separate them if you don't like them together.
