Is there something wrong with us?

Sorry, this might seem rude, but it isn't really directed at anyone who reads this blog. I just needed to vent my frustrations.

We planned a Housewarming Party / Scentsy Open House and invited people a week and a half before the event and only two people besides our parents showed up. We knew that some we invited would not be able to come since they live out of town, but thought for sure at least some people here locally would come. I know that people have things going on, or things come up and plans change, but apparently 1 1/2 weeks is not enough notice for people to work out their schedules. We had it scheduled for two different days, with three different time frames, and you are telling me that you couldn't fit any time in at all during those times to stop by? Nobody really even RSVP'd. We thought maybe people would just show up, had the refreshments planned and everything ready to go. There were a few that let us know they weren't going to be able to come, and that is fine, since we already knew not to expect them. All we really wanted was people to come see our house and visit with us for a while. Is it too much to ask to let us know you won't be coming (if you are local)?

Please don't take this personally, both Mike and I are just frustrated since we put so much work in to planning this and didn't expect that the turn-out would be this low. We always try to go to other events we are invited to, even if we have to change our schedule a little bit. I almost feel like crying. Is there something wrong with us?

Scentsy!!

So, a little more than a year ago, one of my cousins was having a Scentsy party and I fell in love with the product. For those of you who don't know what Scentsy is, let me tell you. Scentsy products are wickless scented candles and warmers. The wax is melted in the electric warmers using a 25 watt bulb so the wax is heated to just above body temperature, about the same temperature as the wax for a parafin treatment. The wax is concentrated with scent and each bar will last 60-80 hours, longer than most of the popular jarred candles. Since there is no flame, you don't get the soot and smoke damage to your walls and ceilings and there is no risk of fire if you forget about it. I also LOVE that there is no risk to Lance of being burned by a flame and I don't have to constantly tell him to leave it alone.

For about the past year, I have been thinking about signing up as a consultant to sell Scentsy. Well, I finally decided that I would take the leap and do it and now it is official.

The new Spring/Summer 2009 catalog just came out with new warmers and scents. There are about 80 different scents to choose from and over 50 different warmers, including the small plug-in warmers perfect for bathrooms or small spaces.

If anyone is interested in buying anything, let me know, or you can go to my website and place an order there. Also, if you are interested in hosting a party, you can earn rewards, just let me know. It doesn't have to be an in-home party, I can get you some small testers and you can have a basket party, or I can set up an online party for you.

I am really excited for this adventure and Mike supports me 100%. Feel free to direct anyone you know that may be interested to my website. The address is http://www.scentsy.com/KattRicks
