Tonight was my first show since January!! I have had Catalog Shows, but there have been alot of changes with shows. I was starting to feel down about how last year was so great, and now so far this year has been a bummer.

Well tonight I am back with a bang!! I have 8 guests and we are currently at $602 in sales. The host have about 5 more people to contact. My Host also had 4 outside orders. I got 3 bookings and a couple sounded interested in the Opportunity! So thrilled!!
