Whirlwind, or should I say Whirling Dervish.....

I can't decide if it is everything around

me that is whirling or if it is just me in 

the candle kitchen but it is crazy around 

here right now.

With more than 60 online orders in just 

two days....Thanks Heartsy!.....and multiple

fundraiser kickoffs over the next week I nearly

caught myself coming or going yesterday!

Yep!  I'm moving so quickly that often

I find myself jumping from one aspect of 

the business to another within mere seconds

and then returning back to the point that I've 

been wondering how I've done it.

But, this is the stuff my dreams are made of.

This is what will get me my cute little candle 

shop where people can come, hang out and 

we can chat while I work.  The experiment 

the other day with my friend Mindy went 

pretty well.  We chatted while I worked and 

I greatly enjoyed having her here.  

She did have to scoot to the side every time

I needed more wax, though.  So a larger area

would be very beneficial to this kind of a plan.

LOL

I met with the CHALC group last evening and 

cannot begin to express how gracious

they were.

This is our third year to work together and 

it was so rewarding to hear those parents 

who have participated in prior fundraisers

say how they can't wait to get candles again

and that they are glad we are doing this

fund raiser.  Can you imagine??? 

Glad.

Joy!!

They snatched up all of the

hot chocolate candles

that I had taken.

They do make great demos!

I'm thinking 400 might not be enough

for this selling season .....with so many groups

selling....I'm going to see if I can get more of those

mugs today.

I'm also looking forward to a home show

in early November,

with my new friend, Angel.

She lives in Chambersburg and has invited

me to come to her house for a show.

She and her friend, Michelle, 

make custom scrapbooks 

and lots of sewn items for children.

I love their chalkboard mats 

.

So creative and practical.

We've had some bags shipped in from another 

Etsy seller, Kelly.

She does such amazing work with her 

ruffle bags.

So,  anyway, I am having fun these days

even if I do run into myself sometimes

and feel like a whirling dervish at others.

It is such a blessing that I actually 

pray prayers of Thanksgiving 

at very regular intervals!!
