Labor Day!

This is turning out to be a very busy day. I am working on this, my blog, and I am taking more pics for some items I am going to be listing this week on ebay. My husband had to go to work so it is just me and the kids ! I guess because of the weather (It has cooled off) they are being lazy and just laying and reading or watching tv. So I am pretty much being left alone to finish up some stuff that I have needed to do for a couple of weeks. I hope to get my items listed before thursday! I have one item I need to ship ,but I guess Paypal is messed up or something and when I click on the create label link it say I have not entered an address!!
Happy holiday to everyone and I hope you are having as productive day as I am!

Balloon Candle!

I just found this and thought it sounded neat! Has anyone done this or seen one done??

Balloon Candle~~~~

Materials:
Balloon
Paraffin or Candle wax
Optional candle dye
Instructions:
Take a balloon and fill it with water and secure the top ...Melt down your paraffin or candle wax then allow it to cool as much as you can before it begins to set . Next dip your water filled balloon into the melted wax and pull it out. allow this thin layer to harden . then re-submerge the balloon again keep doing this till you have a thick layer around 1 cm . Now pop the balloon and remove it from the candle shell . using the same low temperature pour a small amount of wax into the candle shell and roll it around till it covers the edges and once again allow it to cool . You may want to make these inner layersÂ a different color for a rainbow effect . Keep repeating the last step (using different colors if desired for each layer) Until the candle is just about full , then in the last pour slip the wick into the center and again pour the last layer of wax in until the wick is held firm . Using a flat hot plate melt a flat bottom onto the candle to help the rounded bottom sit straight on a table

Trying to find a good party plan.

I have been searching for a great party plan for me to do part-time. I would love to find something I can sell by catalog and parties that has alow cost start-up and is easy to sell.
I have tried a few.
I found a great website that has tons of links to party plan companies.
http://www.thepartylist.com

I am not wanting to have to pay a ton of money to start and then it not work out. How do you get your first party? I was thinking of maybe having an open house type of party and then go from there , but most of the companies I get info on want you to have 6 parties lined up before you can even send in your rep. form.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
