I have seen stashes that are ten times this size. Not that those are normal either lol! But no judging here. I just told myself I get these two organizers and that is it. It has worked for a couple years now.

There are a few exceptions... Like blueberry and stuff. Pizzelle is pretty great in all its forms. I used to love BJBC but that particular scent is not high in my favorites right now, it may come back though.... Like zucchini bread. Loved, hated, now liked again. <br /><br />There is nothing like peppermint in winter. I think I will melt some today too.

I don't melt them too often but I do love CFTKR Blackberry Jam Pizzelle and Apple Pizzelle. This winter I have been melting peppermint blends every day.

Feels good to have things in their place. My holidays were awesome. I hope yours were too (still majority impressed with you hosting 4 dinners!!). But I am also looking forward to next year. <3TheRedolentMermaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12025330454820306972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-90139254700312725072015-12-28T14:03:57.895-05:002015-12-28T14:03:57.895-05:00Lol!

That was such a great scent! I hope they bring it back next year. I melted more Christmas scents than I thought I would too. But I may melt more if we get any cold snaps. Whatcha gonna do with your yuck box? I destashed a lot to one of my sisters who wanted wax for Christmas.

That's a generously sized collection, but I actually thought there'd be even more, haha! My collection lives on my kitchen table where I can readily admire it. With only 2 people there's room for us to still sit and eat there too. :) Walmart clamshells are stored in a basket like your melting basket and etailer wax currently takes up 2/3 of a big holiday popcorn tin. Sometimes I have certain scents in mind for the day's meltings and other times I just reach in and melt the first thing that speaks to me. :) Thanks for dedicating time to your wonderful posts; I hope you are having a wonderful and blessed holiday season!Amanda C.http://www.vintagemeetsmoderninspiration.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-65532921773793497052015-12-28T11:40:11.870-05:002015-12-28T11:40:11.870-05:00Love this post!! I love seeing where all your wax ...Love this post!! I love seeing where all your wax lives, nestled all cozy in the closet. Storing by scent is the way to go for sure. My wax storage looks the same as it did over the summer, but now tucked away in its intended closet instead of the basement! We have some similar tastes for sure, I love all the same spicy and holiday scents! I've also been loving the earthy/perfumey blends lately. And I hear you on fruity bakery. They smell good to me on cold but I just don't enjoy smelling them in my home anymore. I am just not a Pink Sugar girl though, love it in personal fragrance but not so much for the home lately. That can always change, of course. I am also iffy with lavender, no matter how much I try. I can only do the true herbal scent and I will accept no imitations lol! Your stash looks like a very manageable size! Mine is still pretty much the same size, especially since I've barely been melting. I did melt Ava's Cinnamon Broom on Christmas Eve and Balsam and Citrus and my Candle Lab Christmas Tree/Grapefruit/Clove blend on Christmas Day though! I've been on a BBW Winter bender lately. I've gone through 2 of those candles in the past 2 weeks! Hope your holidays were awesome Julie!!

One box is fall scents, one is Christmas scents, and one is everyday scents. I did pretty good on fall scents this year. The only leftovers are several backup packs of A Thankful Harvest (all-time fave) and a couple RG muffin blends I forgot I had. Christmas has a few more leftovers but I did better than other years. And my everyday scent box is currently overflowing but I really don't know what's in there because I haven't bought anything in the everyday category in like, forever. I suspect I might have been tossing scents I don't care for in there. lol<br /><br />~DebDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05658958620972494748noreply@blogger.com
