I've closed 5 parties in the past week, and most of them have shipped and are arriving. Since these were my first shows, I'm screwing up left and right, but not all of its my fault. I've had to make 2 adjustments on one show today, I've had my first credit card declined, and I still have 2 shows...

I got mine in the mail yesterday so keep a look-out. Same as last year but a new cover. Last year I had to call HO because mine never came. :)

I'll try to keep this short, since I already ranted about my full-time job in another thread. My boss sent an e-mail Friday afternoon to the Finance team, advising we'd have a visitor from Group Finance in Hong Kong (where our HQ is located) on Tuesday and Wednesday. There will be a finance...

I have redone a flyer from this website to include some Disney info/teaser. If you have something you've done to try on-the-fence recruits because of Disney, I'd love to see it....

I was chosen to host one of the Xbox experience parties from house party. Wahoo! It sounds like it is going to be alot of fun!:D

My director was going to have a booth at a local job fair on Friday but can't make it. She has asked me to do it instead! Has anyone done these before, and if so, any tips?! Thanks so much.

I want to try these, but my hubby isn't sure he wants me driving around with them on my van... Any suggestions, experience...

My Sept. was really slow - I had a repeat hostess who booked to get the cookware, but I am only at around 200 commissionable sales. I am worried about one customer because she was hesitant about one of the items she bought - if she decides to return it will it make me go inactive? TIA

Hey all. My DSD is going to be starting online school next week. She is almost 17 and is currently a junior. Any advice? DH and I are making her do "school" from 8-2 each day so she doesn't think she can stay up all night...and then sleep in half of the day. Her bedtime will be 11:00 at...

Ok, I hope I added the pictures to the bottom of this correctly. I did my first Bridal Expo on Sunday. Thanks to all of you who gave me advice. I have pictures of my booth on my phone, but for some reason, can't add them right now. Ok, I did my booth (which was only a 6 ft. table) in a...

I just put in an adjustment for my round stone with handles since it broke at my show last night and she told me it would take 2-3 weeks until I receive it! It has never taken this long for items I use at shows. Many of my recipe choices use this!!! Ahhhhh!!

I wasn't quite sure where to put this. I had an amazing experience tonight! I was invited to be at the reception for the Board of Directors for Feeding America. Of course, Doris Chirstopher is on the board so she was there. I got to spend some time chatting with her, in the ladies room when...

For those of you who do not know Beth Moore, she is an outstanding Bible teacher, writer of Bible studies, and is a married mother of two daughters. This is one of her experiences: April 20, 2005, at the Airport in Knoxville, waiting to board the plane, I had the Bible on my...

I have been mostly a lurker here but since I have gathered a vast amount of knowledge and helpful information from the site, I thought I would reciprocate. I participated in my first ever trade show last night. It was a "Ladie Nite Out" theme at a local museum. It was a great experience...

I learned how to put someone on the ignore list today on CS. I do not like mean people! This was the first time someone was mean enough for me to do that.

I met a host at a Farmer's Market and she filled out a PDS indicating she was interested in hosting a show. So, I called her the next day and we scheduled a party. I drop off the host packet at her house and she tells me she wants to send out her own invitations and had several friends...

My DH burnt his leg at work today. Of course he says it's not worth going to the hospital but it hurts like heck and is very ugly/sore looking. They have new dumptrucks at work that have the exhaust running down the side of the cab, under the truck and out the back. These exhausts run...

NDA was wonderful! Those of you who haven't been yet, GO GO GO!!!! We learned so much great info. I am less overwhelmed and so excited to start putting all of this new knowledge into practice. We work for the BEST company :love0010: Here's me, Kris, and Mary...

Hey!! Just had to express my joy of working at our county fair this past week. I worked Monday and Friday night. On Monday night was able to book 4 shows on the spot!! That was so exciting. Then on Friday night I got a ton of leads so yesterday I started to call some of them and I was able...

I am new at this and learning something every day! I ordered the decals from Merrill for my car and didn't realize that some states have rules about these things. So I looked all over the internet and since I live in an unincorporated part of the county I don't need a business license so I...

I have decided it is time to change my WHOLE show.....it is very overwhelming to think of doing that, and now I just don't know where to start! My plan is to do every show as an interactive demo...it is really how I have been doing my shows for sometime now. The problem comes in the post-demo...

As I come home and try to catch up on lost sleep and reflect on this conference experience, I have come to the conclusion this was my best conference.I started off on a high right before leaving for conference finding out that we were pregnant expecting #2 March 13th. It was a long road, and I...

Hi All, Hopefully I can get some ideas by tomorrow - I'm going to be applying for another job. How do you list your PC experience on your resume? In the job I'm applying for I would assist with organizing events as well as set-up and tear down. I know my PC experience would help w/this...

I'm a newer consultant and I signed up for a local Women's Health Expo last weekend in a nearby, small town. It was hosted by a local clinic and was for just the morning. There were about 10 vendors and then the clinic had health seminars going on during the expo. It was their first expo so I...

So, we bought this house like 4 months ago. For the past three months or so, we kept hearing this scratching noise that sounded like it was in the walls in my living room. We joked that it was the ghost of the guy who owned the house before us, who lost it to foreclosure. Well, last night my...

So, I had dinner at camp with the kids tonight and afterwards we were walking down to the stables so I could show them the 2 new baby horses born on Tuesday and guess what?!?!?! We got there in time to see a baby horse born!!!! It was pretty cool! :thumbup:

My Feb went really well, and I made my 4 shows in 30 days! The only problem is, the people that hosted the shows for me really didn't try to invite many people, so I had no bookings. The whole month of March went by without any bookings :( But, I now have a catalog show booked and a cooking...

Has anyone tried planting plants in the old crocks?? I have one that I love...but I have never used it. I have an herb garden in my kitchen, and it would work great to plant one of my herbs. Any thoughts?
