ok, so i was trying to quickly put together a show by selling 5 of the trifle bowls. i have less than $50 in orders. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to quickly get a couple of orders? i really wanted to get the apron.

i think it is probably going to have to end up being invididual orders, but i don't know how to submit those. can someone help me.
 
Individual orders won't count toward the apron. It's 2 shows held & submitted in April.
 
Rae is correct, individual orders won't count.

If you do need to submit them as individual orders, you'll just need to enter them in P3. Up at the top, where you have the button for a new show, you also have a button for a new individual order. Just fill everything out, like you would for a show.

Don't forget though, individual orders pay direct shipping charges.

Yes...has to be held and submitted by tonight to count for the apron. The apron was too 'busy' for my taste. I got last years. I'm cool with that. What would be nice is a solid black apron- maybe with the Pink-ribbon logo with the whisk or something. (Something I don't have to have a specific wardrobe just to wear with it and not make my guests ill!) :D

I would love a well made, black, washable (perma-press) apron. I"ll supply the colored ribbons (pink, red, etc. etc. etc) depending on the fundraiser.Heck, I'll even swap this year's apron that I've earned with someone handy enough to make or find the type of apron I want.
