We don't have a bath and bodyworks but I ordered candles from them online for the first time and they just came. I am a bit of a candle snob, not that I have to buy expensive ones but I do like quality.
I was really impressed, they burn cleanly and the scent throw is nice. I get headaches from some candles that are too strong and these seem just right. My favorite so far is Leaves - but I also am really liking the brown sugar and fig but I haven't lit it yet.
I got them for a sweet deal too, they were two for 20 and I had a coupon for $10 off!
I wanted to create a few new ones for my front door and to sell in the shop, but I am super uninspired.
Everything I see has been done to death like the classic pinecone wreath and everything "new" is the stupid yard wrapped wreaths that I personally don't like.
I do like that one that has been floating around a few years that is green moss with a pumpkin sitting at the bottom.
I am stress eating a bowl o ice cream. 3 babies crying all at the same time is overwhelming. Nap time with the new baby is not going well. She wakes up the other two babies and then I have 3 in 3 different rooms all crying and I don't even know where to go first. It will get better but this week is really hard. I've changed more diapers and heard more crying today than I ever thought possible
I would strip the table and sand it smooth. Wood condition and then stain as many coats as needed. Then I would use wipe on poly, you rubit on with a cloth and sand between coats lightly. I would do 4 or 5 coats. We did the gloss wipe on poly for our kitchen table but my mom loves the satin.
I think my challenge this month is going to be finding curtain rods and hanging my living room curtains that have been sitting for over a month. And possibly painting our deck

- You are welcome to take the theme and get creative with it, but I don't think anyone will have to look very hard to find something! This month you are welcome to share whatever you want! That great closet you organized 2 months after we did the organizing challenge, or a room you just painted (ahem...dairy!), a craft project, new bedding . . . anything goes! I am hoping this month that we can do a lot of helping each other out with ideas and advice; post your pics!
-Remember to take photos of your before and afters, and share them in this thread!

I know it's a shrub, but it gets so huge...would it look stupid to plant it in my yard by itself, or does it look dumb and needs to be in a flowerbed? I do have a flowerbed I could plant it in, but I'd have to move a bunch of plants and expand it.
I don't know if I have a twin, but I love Boiler's style and if our house was actually finished, we'd have a lot of similar/the same finishes as far as flooring and tile and paint colors go.
Did you share photos of your new paint in your rooms yet?
And I love rasberry red I am not much of a color person, aside from shades of blues and watery greens....but I am a sucker for a nice pinky red or an eggplant purple.
Some girls from ml showed up to a focus group the nest was having. They got paid $50, and got to talk to the nest staff about the message board thing. Apparently the entire department was fired and all new staff hired over the newessage board format mess. Basically our creation of this site played a big factor in a bunch of people losing their jobs.
