My first order and planning my first party

I finally placed my very first order in preparation for my first party. It was so hard to choose from 160 samples of fragrances! I already knew the ones I really liked but choosing a few products for others-that was much harder. Ordering business cards and brainstorming for ideas to share with my friends have been the funnest parts so far. I hope to post some pictures of my own when the order arrives and describe the fragrances a bit more in detail. Till then, please, feel free to browse their website which has the catalog on-line with very detailed descriptions of their fragrances. I hope to get some sleep tonight. Order placed and flier in the works I can take a couple of days to work on other projects!

Scriptures and perfume?

I had no idea what to write in my first post for this new blog of mine. I have to confess, it took me a long time to even start this blog.
I returned from Moldova almost three weeks now and have been excited about this new opportunity ever since I found out from my friend Tamara the very next day after a solid night's sleep. I just couldn't get a title, a vision, a future for what I fell in love with while there. I was quite relieved to get a "breakthrough" after just another busy day today. After (what seemed like a classroom full of kids) of checking 6 grade Math and 4th and 3rd grade reading and spelling I pressed on to get something done while the girls played together (not quietly). I was seriously planning on getting to bed earlier but the creative juices just had to flow after midnight. There is just something about total quiet after all are in bed. After an evening full of games with my girls it was not easy to settle down but I did get a title and inspiration for my new blog. I am so thankful!
I knew the Bible was full of verses about oils, fragrances and perfumes. Kings were anointed with fragrant oils. We heard many times and read that Jesus was honored with the anointing of his feet with costly perfume:
John 12:3
Mary then took a pound of very costly perfume of pure nard, and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped His feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
But I found more scriptures than I thought!
I sure loving smelling pleasant. But what I desire the most is the inner fragrance of someone who is radiant from the inside. I hope this blog is not just about the business of selling great fragrances at great prices. If it becomes one then I failed in bringing you my vision. I want to encourage myself and other to be a fragrant aroma in God's sight.
2 Corinthians 2:15
For we are a fragrance of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing;
