That's a good idea!! Think I'll try it at my next show.

I evenly space the first can to go around half the stone, then open the second can & evenly space the rolls to go around the other half of the stone & it's fine every time.

Someone made these for our cluster meeting & she used refrigerated biscuits (or as I call them, the "whack 'em biscuits" b/c you whack them on the counter to open the can).

I have a question. I have been thinking about doing a fundraiser for my baby cousin who has just been diagnosed with cerebral palsy. I was wondering if doing a demo would be good or just take orders like your mentioned?

P.S. You can tell her that WalMart sells candles, too; they're not too far away from the kitchen gadget aisle;) . and candles at walmart are cheaper than those with candlelite!! :D

I prefer the write-in form. Whenever I would order the itemized before we had a choice, I would either order too many & have to throw them away or not order enough. With the write-in I don't have to worry about wasting the forms & my money.

Some of these sound like North Carolina

Don't give up! I too have been in a slump & thought about giving up my PC business. But one day I was talking to a friend that I had lost contact with & mentioned that I sell PC now & she jumped in & booked a show. My PC business has grown since then. I also offer incentives to my hosts & I...

If the host can't get to the grocery store before her show, I volunteer to get the ingredients. But I make sure she pays me back before I leave her house that night.

I give my Catalog Hosts a deadline & offer an incentive to make sure she gets orders. I tell her if she beats my highest show, I'll give her something for free when we close her show.

Something my director told me to do when I'm in a bind is to contact 15 people & ask them to participate in a $1000 catalog show. 10 of those 15 will help you out. All they have to do is collect $100 in outside orders. How you divvy up the host benefits is up to you. I haven't tried it yet, but...

profiterole puffsSomeone up here suggested using pudding in the place of the cool whip. I tried it both ways and like them better with pudding. They taste more like eclairs with the puddin filling!

I made the Lemon Chicken Pasta Toss last night at my show and used a single burner. Usually I would do the prep work for everything and just mix it all together, but I went straight by the recipe and got lots of good compliments.

I too am a big fan of the Book to Look idea! I tried it last night at my show and got 4 bookings. I'm definitely doing this at all of my shows!
