Do you use candles?
I just ran around lighting candles in three rooms, with candle warmers going in two rooms. Does anyone else do this, or am I just a loon? I figure if I am going to be home all day, I might as well have good smells about!

You should be good to yourself Julie!
I usually do when the holidays start coming around. Start in Nov and go through to March.~*Darlene*~

I do during the holiday season. Otherwise I find that it just heats up the house too much and goodness knows it's hot enough here as it is!

When I am home for a stretch I light a candle I keep on my kitchen sink. I like the smell too!

i like to have a candle or two going in the bathroom. Until the kids are older I have to wait on having one going like i liked to do before i had toddling kiddos. I liked having one going on my coffee table (which i don't hvae anymore...) and one going in the kitchen too on the island (we removed that too...). LOL just about all the places we liked to put candles we removed!

I love burning candles and Gabe or I will light one from time to time. The power went out here a couple of weeks ago and I was here alone with the kids. I lit up all of my large candles and the kids thought it was the neastest thing. lol

I have a bunch of good smelling candles, but I never think to light them. Not sure why, but it seems like I will think of it but then get distracted somehow. I really should do it more often. I love going to people's houses and smelling candles burning.

I love to burn candles in the winter, when it gets dark earlier. It makes rooms feel cozier.

I use YC tarts. I don't like the smell of burning candles/wicks, but I love the smell of the tarts.

Yup! I light candles at home and at work. I found the BEST candle company. The candles smell great and the burn a long time. They are soo worth the money. Plus, they aren't expensive. The company is called, "Our Own Candle Company"

I love to burn candles. I make my own so I can have about 8 or so for the price of one high end candle. (I'm a frugal candle freak
)
