So, Michelle--you got a bunch of unexpected orders? Has anything happened with it?

Last week I got 12 online orders from all over the country (3 of them were cancelled). I didn't know any of the names and all of them opted out of giving me their contact info, so I have only addresses. It ended up being over $500 in sales! I'm checking with a host on an open show I have...

Yes. Thank you so much. I use these every. single. month!! I really appreciate it.

I'm sure I should know this but what do I do with a white spatula handle that has been discolored by relish? Thanks.

Anyone know if the skimmer is good to use with Jelly--to take the foam off, I guess? I don't make jelly, but I had a guest ask...

I've had someone e-mail me asking me to help with a fundraiser. She said she had a consultant work with her organization last year, but she wasn't happy with the amount they earned based on how much product they sold. How much do you personally contribute to fundraisers? Is it worth it to...

My Free For All products haven't even been shipped yet if I'm doing this right! When is that supposed to happen?

There's no question that ACS does provide grants to PP. They admitted it in their letter to me. The Midwest Division of the American Cancer Society gave an $8000 grant for a smoking cessation program--the letter didn't address what support it provides thoughout the country and didn't say that...

Here's a link to that references American Cancer Society's funding of Planned Parenthood Grants if you scroll down a bit: http://www.all.org/charities esavvymom--you are right, though. We can't avoid supporting Planned Parenthood. It's reach is wide, but rather than doing nothing, at least...

To begin, I have been personally touched by cancer in many ways, as we all have, I hope and pray for a cure during my lifetime. Unfortunately, though, I cannot support the American Cancer Society. They support Planned Parenthood and I don't want one dime of my money going to that...

Does anyone have a script they use when they send out phonevite messages before shows? Thanks.

Just wanted to share. I've often heard that one show can turn your business around. I have no shows on my schedule in March, except the shower I held today. My show today will end up being over 1800 in commisionable sales and I got 5 booking leads off of it. At least 3 of those are pretty...

Oh....is that because I already sent in one order this month. I guess I'll wait until Thursday to send it in and get the slightly lower shipping....is that right? It will be 9.50 on Mar. 1st for the same order?

Hmmm...I'm just about to send in an order for $65 worth of supplies and it is going to cost me 14.75 in shipping. Is that not right?

NewtoMom--Welcome! Just a thought....I almost ALWAYS get more "yesses" via phone calls than via e-mails or facebook. I think facebook and e-mails are a good way to keep your name in the back of people's minds incase they ever want to purchase something or book a shower or something, but for...
