I just had to share. Tonight I had my SECOND $1000 show of the month. AND I had 4 bookings! And the funniest thing is that I almost blew the recipe. It was the apple almond pastry and the puff pastry dough got way over zapped when I was defrosting it in the micro, so it was runny. I had to fold it up into a big blob and roll it out, which took forever. But I just kept talking and joking and laughing at myself and the thing came out pretty well even with that big mistake.

I am psyched about my September so far! 3 shows and about $2700 in sales. And 4 more to go!

That's fabulous Rachel!! Kepp it up!
