I took my son to karate this morning...had my Catalog Tote like usual and one of the Dad's asked me for a catalog.
He ordered the double burner griddle, grill press, BBQ brush and Mitt!!! $170 total!! He paid me in cash and wants to order more "when he has more time to look at the catalog!!":eek: :D
I almost fell over.
Then another Dad asked me for a catalog!
I added the $170 onto my host's show from Thursday night. She was at $750 and it SO EXCITED that I added it onto her show. She is at 937 now and is pushing to hit $1000!! Yippeee!
Just had to share!
I love that Catalog Tote!!! :D
 
Awesome! Congrats!
 
That is so great!

I have a question about the tote. Do you use it as a purse or do you carry your purse too? I have one but it seems to be a bit odd for me to use.

You are right! It's totally odd and not stylish at all. LOL
But I actually do use it as a purse. I have two kids, so it kind of doubles as a diaper bag. Think of it as a tote bag...
I carry it all the time now. I am shameless with my advertising! hee hee
 
That's AWESOME Susan!! Great Job! I would have fallen over as well!!:D
 
Wow! I should go to Karate with my son more often!!!
congrats!!!!
 
Not a bad return for the $15 it cost for the bag!
 
I carried the tote for months. I had 2 people ask for a catalog and seemed really excited to have found a consultant. But, never received any orders from either one.
 
what a great way to start your day! I would LOVE to get an out of the blue order like that!! Way to go!
