We have done a fundraiser for my daughters dance team - we had 20 girls. First we handed out packets (2-3 catalogs, order forms) and some information about the funraiser. As a goal, we told the girls if each dancer got 4 orders of $25 each we would raise $400 for the dance team. Well, the...
My DH ex wife turned out to be one of my best customers. Her sister did a show for me and you should see the looks on peoples faces when we explain the connection/ relationship. We are truly a lucky family because we were able to get along and raise our son (I hate the word step...). It helps...
We're doing "Treasures for Troops" at work. Three consecutive months we are gathering supplies etc. and sending them to family members of those who work for our paper mill (we actually make paper for the PC Catalog, quite cool!). There is a reference to a website which is a comprehensive list...

Do not get excited when your aunt wants to become a consultant... especially when it is the same aunt that wanted to buy your house and went under contract for 6 months only to back out because she couldn't come up with the money or financing.... which...
When I used my 8" saute pan for the pizza recipe I got residue from the oil. At first I panicked because nothing was taking it off. All I could think of what "How can I demo that???" Then I tried the old standby, baking soda paste. It was a miracle... So I too am totally loving the stainless.

This host had $400 of...
I know this goes against what we know about good host coaching and follow up but maybe you could tell her when she has enough orders for a qualified show to give you a call. You really want to help her earn host special, etc. and she just needs $150 in outside orders - that way it allows her to...
Sorry you are dealing with that. My DH is fairly supportive but when I need to get on the phone or get organized I am at times undermined. Because I initially started this to generate more income I think he feels bad - like I have to do "extra work" and he doesn't want me to have to...
People also love the turkey chili recipe - I've done that a a couple of shows. I have also done the recipe that comes with it: Smothered Chicken & Garlic. It was amazing - don't be at all intimidated by 40 cloves of garlic!
I've got two and have no idea where any more may come from! Getting better about offering the opportunity but it's funny how quickly some people can say no!
