magic sizing

I used to sell candles.

I don't know that I've ever mentioned it on the blog, have I?

Anyways,

it was a long time ago, and I was actually quite good at it.
When I was pregnant with Brandon
I stressed for months over how was I going to sell PartyLite and properly take care of a baby.
My babies pretty much consume my life for a year or more.
As soon as I realized that deciding to no longer sell candles
didn't mean I was a quitter,
I quit.
I had my last show in August of '98, about 5 or 6 weeks before Brandon was born.

Terry, the friend who came to Brandon's birth, was a PartyLite consultant too.

She just loved doing the paperwork.

Now, I didn't hate the paperwork, but it sure wasn't my favorite part.

Terry though?

I can still see her -

she'd scrunch up her shoulders and rub her hands together with glee 

when it was time to get the orders all ready to turn in.

That's how I feel about my magic sizing.

I love the stuff!

I got the star blocks sewn together, and when I pressed the seams,

I discovered that my can was 'bout  empty.

Which means,

I get to open a new can next time I sew!

It's enough to make a girl giddy.
