    Need Input on How to Price @ Garage Sale

    Just a funny note about yard sales. I sold all my old crotchety non-pc tools (like whisk, peeler, can opener) for 25 and 50 cents last weekend. People are strange.

    Join Us for a Dual Fundraiser Show on the 27th - Featuring Tastefully Simple!

    Sounds fun, I have heard good stories about combined shows with TS. I would consult with the TS gal/guy and find a recipe that you can make together with your PC tools and their products. Maybe make a combined list of the products used, make it a bit easier for the folks attending the show to...

    January Show Submitted in February

    I understand that the general rule is by the last day of the month but what about the email we got that said if we submitted shows by 2/3, because of the weather we would be paid on the 8th? I was confused because I didn't know if they would count it toward a January show or just as January...

I donated a PC goodie basket(very cute with the pink dots martini glasses and and the dots ice bucket) along with half of my commission so there was no tension of making...

The only place I have ever washed my dishes is at my Mother's house. I have never left anything behind at a hosts home, but have forgoten to grab something...

    Handling Unruly Crowds at Cooking Shows: Tips & Tricks

    I just feel as if they don't pay attention at all. YES I want folks to have fun, and see friends/family, but I never make anyone sit. I want them to interact but it just seems silly to explain the benefits of a product when the only person paying attention is the one person you managed to...

    Troubleshooting Tips for a Sticking Deluxe Mini Muffin Pan | Expert Advice

    All I know is that every training about stones and nonstick cookware instructs NOT to use Pam or any cooking spray, EVER. I am sure that is why we have the kitchen sprayer :) (cross sell anyone) I only use cooking spray on glass/Pyrex or the BBQ grill. Otherwise use oil on the stones and nadda...

    Ramping Up Sales & Recruitment: Twixt or Treat Postcard Ideas!

    I printed some of the cute postcards that were posted, and handed them out to the mummies who actually came to the door with their kids. They were very surprised when I would say that I had treats for the mummies too! Next year they may need a tiny bottle of wine, rather than a chocolate bar! :)...
