The Joy of Womanhood

"Women of God can never be like women of the world. The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are coarse; we need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity."

-Margaret D Nadauld, YW General President

Card Exchange

I haven't posted cards from my last two card exchanges! Yikes!

In September, we made Halloween cards. It was hard to pick out my favorite ones, but I finally narrowed it down.

This one was made with a Cricut... isn't it adorable? It makes me really want to get a Cricut now!

John said this one didn't make any sense to him, but I thought it was cute. It's just Halloween-y!
__________________________________________________
This month we had a free-for-all and you could make any theme of card you wanted. My favorites this month were just generic friend ones. I thought they were all so cute though!


The card I made was for a baby boy. I thought it turned out pretty well considering I used the same pattern for Jenny's baby shower invitations. I will post that one after I host Jenny's baby shower in November.

Cinnamon Cider & Snowflakes

I love getting packages!

Being a new consultant for Scentsy, I have signed up to receive the "scent and warmer of the month" combo... and I just got my first one today. So even though I knew it was coming, I was still pleasantly surprised!

For November, it is the cutest warmer! I received the blue one, and it is so pretty! It will go perfectly with my Christmas and January decorations!

I already have a few orders for the white one... so if any one else wants one of these darling warmers, they are on sale for $27.00 this month - Just let me know!

Now for the yummy scent - it's Cinnamon Cider and I think it smells so good! I can't wait to start melting it.... I will have samples to smell and I have received a few extra things for give-aways. So, if you want to host a party.... or know someone who will, I'll be happy to give you something in exchange! :)

Scentsy

I've been feeling a little adventurous these days... (which may or may not be a good thing!) and so have decided to try my hand at working from home. Luckily, I have an awesome husband who is willing to support me in my ideas....

I am going to be a consultant for Scentsy! If you have never heard of Scentsy - I can promise that you are going to love it! Scentsy products are so safe and affordable! I have a Scentsy warmer and just purchased the Spiced Orange Harvest bar. It smells so good!



The thing I love about this line is that it is safe. I have been wary to burn candles or even use a candle warmer with a little busy boy running around - I'm so afraid he'll find it and burn himself! But with Scentsy there is no wick, and the warmers are designed to melt wax at a lower temperature so there is never any danger of a child (or yourself!) being burned.

They have lots of cute warmers that will go with any decor and they now have new warmers that you plug in directly to the outlet. They are perfect for small spaces, or where there is no counter space!

The Scentsy line of products include:

Car Candles

Room sprays

Warmers

Plug-In Warmers

Bars and Bricks


I even have my own website: www.scentsy.com/LBillquist. So check it out and let me know if you would like to do a party or just place an order!
