Just saw it Bonza Thank you sooo much for doing that and for the "goodies" awaiting me ;) I hope I get plenty of visitors, LOL. I'm well stocked up on Quervo and limes.

Yes, what Costacat said (purr) the folders are part of the Members Only area and open to any and all members and just as eligible for moderation as any other area of the board. Juli, I love the black halo warmer, too! Today, I did another enable of my local friend, Cheryl.. well she LOVED all the scents, even ARRDC! She especially loved smelling the Judy's Japanese Pear & Ginseng. After lunch we walked over to JoAnn's and I showed her all the warmers and she bought a light green one! Hooked without ever melting a single tart. (to be fair she also has some candles in glass that she might want to warm). I gave her basically the same selection of tarts I gave to Raen and Costa. Saturday I take a bag of tarts up to my hairdresser since I didn't have many at the time I enabled her.. that was the day when she wanted me to come in early so she could go home earlier and my first order of tarts arrived just after I left.

Tart mania is spreading the nation. Sea - I recognize those cute nesting triangle baskets from Jo-Ann's - they look great! I like how Angelina has appointed herself the Feline Tart Guard.

They were on sale. They WERE actually quite organized but in the frenzy of packaging for four enablings the bags are pretty mixed up! That one medium one on the left is ALL random individual tarts! and the white basket is all TP's .. that basket came from Michael's. Tart Mania, indeed! I must say I love my IKEA ramies!!! Such a great find and enable, Paj!!

OK I hate IKEA, but now I have to go. Too big for me and too much stuff to look at. I hope I find them.

Mamapors, to save your sanity, the ramies are to be found in the Marketplace area downstairs, in the kitchen section, not in the gadgets but along with other over safe glass items. That might help a little in locating them. I first went upstairs and after not seeing them in a display and not going TOO far, I asked an employee and she pointed me back to the stairs.

You can check IKEA stock availability for various store locations at the IKEA site. Click on "check stock availability" here (be sure to use the pull-down menu to change the selection to the 3" bowl): IKEA 3" KLAR Bowl

Good Morning, Julip What are we burning today? I have a SP/WC combo going. It's very nice. In the bedroom I'm still burning a Gossamer Wings I started about 3 days ago. Some of these tarts last forever. When I first started burning, I was only getting about 8-10 hours out of them. I must have bought some bad tarts off the swap board because all the recent ones I've tried have lasted for ages.}

Fresh Baked Cookies this morning in SoCal because it was raining when I woke up. The sun is peeking through, so I might have to put on a "summer" scent later.

quote: Thursday, March 02, 2006 - 9:41 am Julip - that is scary - and a tart tragedy, too! Did the wax ruin the warmer? Not to mention you could have had many worse problems... Say, did your AH 4-pack come with any literature? Mine did - there is a folded document inside the bottom ramie. I have not removed all the shrinkwrap or really unpacked mine, but I will today. I bet that info will give the "heat safe" details we are looking for.
Bonza - I completely missed this post yesterday, sorry! No, the warmer did not get ruined, thank goodness. Just enough wax leaked through the bottom to make the ramekin hard to separate from the plate, but I was able to twist it off. It left a few dots of residue on the hot plate, but that was it. I have read in the past about people have had worse problems, like either part of a warmer melting or a hot pad the person had the warmer sitting on melting. And thanks for checking out the literature on the AH ramies! I do have a copy of it, but like you - up until you 'took one for the team' and removed the shrink wrap lol - I still have my remaining 3 wrapped up.

Thanks Sea and Bonza. I checked availability and my closest store does have them in stock. So after a good nights sleep, I will awake early and take on IKEA. (armed with Sea's directions to find the ramies). I am just so overwhelmed at IKEA.

Sugar Cookie here and just turned on the burner under the whipped cream, too. Mama, I hear you on being overwhelmed! In my store you go in the front door and there is a childcare area and a sign that says "shortcut to Marketplace" and that opened into the Marketplace really close to the area where the ramies are. Then I followed the signs to the checkout area. (LOL and then I followed my NOSE to the cinnamon roll area) Rats! I missed Ellen and Apolo!

Hello Tartettes! Hope everyone is having a nice weekend. I just saw that Michael's is having a sale on the warmers again..$3.33 each. I'm off to get a couple for enabling Julip- I love your new halo warmer in black. I see one in my future. I have a question for you regarding ramekins, Would you recommend not using ones that we can't verify are oven safe? Because I see some on Ebay and elsewhere and I'm not sure if they would hold up to the heat. That's was kinda scary that one of yours cracked and wax melted through. Thank goodness you were home! Sea- Love the shot of your tart stash with Angelina watching over it! Looks like you're starting to give Julip a run for her money. lol. Joely- I voted Bonza- Love the anchor lidded travel ramekin!!! It's perfect. Today on the warmers I have macintosh apple, boysenberry butter cookie, and candy corn. All terrific.

Hello tarty party gals! Oh my! So much to catch up on! Julip ~ one of your cracked? Oh no! Jinks ~ thank you! On the warmer today... Iced Tea (Julip, I had to try after yesterday) and I like it a lot. It is a tad bit floral, but not much. Kinda like lemon blossom??? hmm.... I like it though!

Update.. I just got back from Michael's and the sale starts tomorrow. Oopsies! The good news.. The trip wasn't a complete waste because stopped at Dunkin' Donuts for some chocolate creme filled donuts. Yum-Yum. Sea- Those rami's look really nice. I love the subtle colors!
