I love candles. Love them, love them, love them.

I don't like floral fragrances, mostly the fruity scents, like raspberry, apple pie, mullberry, etc. I also like the vanilla scented ones because it always makes it smell like I've been baking.

I try very hard not to spend too much on candles, because you could really go overboard, but it's difficult. They are definitely my one vice.

Anyone else love candles?

(I should add that while, yes, I have young children in my home, they've all been taught not to go near it and they follow the rules.)

Yes, I love them. I haven't bought any for a while, but I do like them a lot. I don't like floral scents either. I love cinnamon, vanilla, and berry scents too. Sometimes I will come across one with a "clean" smell that I like too...I think Yankee Candle had one called Clean Linen or something like that.

I'm a candle fan. I don't like floral scents in candles either. My favorite scents change with the seasons. Why oh why do I love the food scents ugh

I was hooked on yankee candles for a long time, but have cut myself off from buying them. LOL I have quite a few 4 wick candles here now. Forever thinking about a power outage, I guess. LOL

I love candles too. I also don't like the floral scents. I like the spicey scents, like pumpkin or cinnamon.

Michelle, do you get the Michael's flyers like we do. They have 40% off coupon this week.

I think they put them in the newspapers, but I don't get any newspapers. So I usually go to AC Moore's site and print off their coupons. Michaels is closer for me, so that's why I go there over AC Moore.

Now that I think of it, Michaels may accept competitor's coupons. I need to look into that.

Our Michael's now has the coupons right at the front door and if they don't have them there you can tell them you didn't get one and they'll give you one.

It's a bit tough to be classy with a rabbit and cage in your kitchen (if you saw the newer Alvin and the chipmunks movie about the raisins), but I did put 3 fresh pillar candles on our dining room table tonight. LOL

Only one is brand new. I was going to use it for a craft project and then changed my mind. But they all haven't been lit yet. I used to always use taper candles on the table for the holidays. We kept the leaf in year 'round so I'll probably use these for mealtime.

I'm having a PartyLite party tomorrow night. I'm hoping that people buy a lot so I get a lot in hostess credit. :) I think only 4 or 5 people are showing up, but I had 4 people who can't come make orders ahead of time. I'm excited.
