There is this teenager at my church who came up to me and said she wants to get her mom a Pie Crust Shield for Christmas. We are communicating through e-mail so that we can keep it a secret from her mom-whom I'm friends with.

I'm bummed because I just put in a show and now don't have anything to add it to. I'm supposed to have a show this Saturday, but the host is MIA and I'm not sure if it's going to end up taking place.

So what do you think I should do to get this girl situated? I really hate to charge her direct shipping on a $7.50 item.
 
Check with other consultants in your area to see if they have a show where you could add this.
 
Yep, if you weren't so far away I'd put it on mine!The other alternative is to find someone who wants Chilzanne, have it shipped to your house and split the shipping unevenly between them.
