I received this email from a guest who attended two shows of mine, one in January and the other in February at her mother Tinnie's house. This party took place on Feb. 10.

"Dear Tena,
Im not sure that you remember me but I went to two shows that you did and i just want to let you no what i was very aware of and was kinda disappointed in these ladys do not know that i am writing to you and i dont want you to be upset with them or me for that matter it is just a little negative feedback on youre show .....ok these ladies and all that do youre partys im sure are excited to have their friends over to do these shows and spend hours cleaning and buying the food etc.... then you come in prepare and do the cooking and Bam......what a mess when you did the two shows i went to i was appauld at the food that was dropped on the floor and all over the counters may I suggest you get a wet towel and at least wipe up what you spill on the counters and floors I know youre not there to clean and we dont want you to, but at least have enough respect for youre hostess to not mess up their homes I just thought you might need to no what several have noticed ..im sure you you would like to have repeat customers and I would like to be one of them! I did not write this to be nasty or negative to you but thought you should no"</i>
This is my response .. I accidentally sent it without finishing it, but I hope it doesn't sound contrite! She bought several things from me:
<b>Dear XXX,
Thank you for your feedback. I do remember you and I hope
you enjoyed attending parties at Lisa's and Tinnie's.
You are probably referring to the most recent party at
Tinnie's house? As a personal rule I do my dishes and clean
up after myself before I leave a host's house, but she was
in such a rush to leave to go to that car show I packed up
my dirty dishes and drove home to clean them.</i>
Now my party was scheduled for 2 p.m. Her husband wanted to leave by 4 p.m. to go to this show. I was out of there about 4:40, trying to go as fast as I could to get out. This daughter was cleaning up after me before I was even finished (I can't clean and process orders at the same time!) and I had to put my gross, dirty dishes in a trash bag and bring them home. I wash my own things usually and let the host wash her own dishes if we used a serving plate, etc.
Was my response OK? I am worried that these people think I am a slob. I am NOT a slob when I do parties, and I do not leave their "homes in a mess!!"
Any advice? this makes me feel bummed first thing in the morning. When I saw her email at first I thought she wanted to book a party.
