I second Candybee's suggestion for the Sea Island Grapefruit. It's awesome! I have a bottle I just have to go and sniff now. lol

Not for one second!

LOL Don't feel bad. You're not alone. I'm sitting here with a box of CS samples...35 to be exact...and I am STILL going to order more. I really need help...:tiptoe:

I've been making my list this morning. Vanilla Lace, Buttercream, WVS, and Red Hot Cinnamon to use as mixers...plus a few others (okay, quite a few :rolleyes2).

Ooh! Those colors are beautiful, Brandy! What scents are those? I'm off to J&L now. I'll have to find my list on what FOs I want to try. lol

Yep, it is! Just ask my husband and girls. Welcome to the wonderful world of FO addiction.

Why would you want or need to close them before the wax has hardened? It would make a mess by splattering when the lid snaps shut. I like mine to look pretty and smooth.

NG's Autumn Magic is a beautiful scent, but it is nothing like GC's Autumn Walk. I used to think Autumn Walk was one I just HAD to find a dupe for, but there are so many other great scents out there, I gave up. I've found many that I like so much more!

My floaters were red and brown, too. One of these days, I will get LS's Hot Pink. There are a few FOs that I love from there anyway.

Hope you got some Cotton Candy Frosting! YUM-O!

Thanks, Leisa. That's good to know. I will continue to use Paypal and add funds to that bank account as needed. As for suppliers that don't accept Paypal, I will use a prepaid credit card. I already feel better knowing that my numbers aren't out there in cyberspace anymore. I don't want to take any chances. Now, I'm just waiting on my new cards and will breathe a little sigh of relief when I have them in hand.

After reading this thread on Saturday, I called my credit union and requested new card numbers on our debit/credit cards and Visa. Haven't been a victim of hacking as of yet, but I have used these to make purchases at many suppliers... most recently Peak and NG. I wanted to err on the safe side. Going to use a prepaid cc from now on. I am still unsure about what to do about Paypal. When I set up that account, I opened a separate account at my credit union and don't keep much money in there...just transfer money as needed. Thing is, you have to have a credit card as back-up on Paypal, and now, that account is closed. I'm not sure Paypal will allow me to have an account without a back-up credit card. Maybe this is a good way for me to control my FO addiction...:rolleyes2

If I were going to do an order with Lonestar, I would get these again, along with the Leather: Autumn Lodge Autumn Pear Butternut Pumpkin Cranberry Peppermint Goldleaf & Hydrangea Pink Lime

Personally, I don't pay any attention to either flashpoint or specific gravity when I use a particular FO, and I have been at this for over four years. If I like a FO, I find a way to make it work in my wax, whether in candle form or in tarts.

Ha! As long as he doesn't go burning and melting your highly-coveted scents, it's all good. Right?! I'm lucky my two teenage daughters could give a rat's you-know-what about my goodies or I'd have to put a padlock on all my stuff.

By the way, I measured the depth and it is less than half an inch. The wax that popped out is even less than that. I wouldn't want the melted wax to go all the way to the top anyway, so a tart in a 1 oz container works well. P.S. Good thing you hide the good ones. I am just glad my hubby keeps his paws off completely!

Haha! I am glad that my hubby doesn't touch my stuff, even though he indulges me by always sniffing and loving what I put in front of his nose. Thing is, I want to be in control of what goes in the burner or candle holder next! lol Some fragrances are extra special and need to be saved for a special occasion. Know what I mean?

Also, don't think I would sell these even if I were selling. I gave a friend one and she has hers on all the time. Last time I went to her house, she showed me what hers is doing and asked me why it was doing that. The wax was seeping out of the ceramic part. The one she had did not have a glaze and oddly enough, the wax was penetrating through the ceramic. I have that same exact one in my bathroom, but don't have it on all the time. Thinking maybe there is a crack in hers somewhere which is causing the problem...

Nope, I am just a hopeless FO addict at the moment. lol You've got me curious, though. Going to go and pop that thing in the freezer to get the wax out and then measure the depth. Unfortunately, I can't leave that thing on all night because my hubby can see the light from the bed and it bothers him (ugh), so the wax is already hard.

Thanks, Pam. I just happen to have a sample of that as well.

I don't think it's very deep at all. I am careful to not put something too large in there. This one is by my husband's sink in our bathroom. I worry about him bumping it and causing it to spill. lol I will only put small tarts in there. I use 1 and 2 oz portion cups, but only put the 1 oz tarts in this warmer.

Yes, welcome to the addiction! :smiley2:

Mmmm! Rose Patch sounds really good. How come I never thought of that? lol Peak's Rose Bouquet is super strong. I poured a bunch of it a few years ago and got kind of tired of it, but mixing it sounds like a good idea.

Yesterday I tested an incense stick that I made in Moon Lake Musk from CS. I could swear that thing burned for well over an hour! lol It was awesome. Gonna burn another one today and time it. I used a 50/50 mix with NG sticks.

I have one of the plug-ins from Candle Warmers. I turn it off and let it harden, then put it in the freezer for about five minutes so the wax will just pop out. Sometimes I use the tip of a knife to get it to release. Seems like a butter knife is my best friend. My husband calls me the "candle doctor" because I am always messing with candles in one way or another. lol
