Ugh Janet! Glad to say ours are just colds!! Thank God it wasn't the flu!
 
Luckily it was only a 24 hour one (been going around here!!!!). He was able to go to camp yesterday and today (good since we have very few staff around and a singles' retreat going on).

I hope you feel better too! Allergy season is upon us and that doesn't help either!

Oh my goodness!Alright everyone...I finally bit the bullet and got the card swap DONE today. Started at 3:00 and it's now 10:00PM. :eek: Had to stop to eat and put Evan to bed.

I want to let everyone know that there were NOT enough cards to give everyone 75 back. To make a long story short, (and it would have been way too time consuming to do it any differently....) I have some extras that I can mail out on a FIRST COME FIRST SERVE basis. So, perhaps if you didn't have time to do the swap, you may want to do this. There ranges between 57 and 20 cards in the stacks. There will be no effort on your part other than to email me, give me your address, and send me some postage $$. The FIRST 11 people to email me and set up payment though paypal, I will mail them a stack of cards. Again, EMAIL me (please do not PM me about this, as my PM box gets filled up quickly) at [email protected] to get these cards.

I do NOT think I will be able to go to the PO tomorrow...I will check with my mail carrier to see if she can take all of the ones that have postage on them already...if not, I will run them to the PO on Tuesday.

Good luck everyone with your recruiting efforts...hope these will speak to the hearts of some of your leads!

Thanks sooooooooo much to all who participated! It was cool to see so many different reasons that everyone started their businesses, and why you stay with your business!
 
You da woman, Kelly!
 
Ok, I was confused at first but I think I got it...

Those who participated, get some back, probably not the full 75...if you sent 75 the extras were put in a pile which are available to other people...is that correct?


Thanks for all your hard work Kelly!

Yep!

Thanks for clarifying that Janet...my head is tired right now!

Those who sent the entire amount in (75) will probably get back about 63-65. That's just how it ended up.

Some sent 75
some sent 77
some sent 74
some sent 72
some sent 50
some sent 55
some sent 25

This was just the easiest way for me to deal with all of the differing amounts without spending hours actually counting each card from every person to figure out if I needed to return extras. So....the extras are going to the next 11 people who want me to send them out, and who are willing to pay for me to do that. I am not (sorry) waiting for people to send me SASE for these extra ones. I just want to finish this off as quickly as possible!! ;)
 
You have already gone above and beyond, Kelly. Don't stress over this another second! Chunk the leftovers in the trash can and have a drink!!
 
Kelly you are the BEST! Thank you so much for doing this! I can't wait to see them!

OR....save them and give them to the new recruits you are going to get by showing yours at your shows! Kind of a signing bonus :) You might as well get some perk from all this hard work!!

Thanks everyone! I am calmer now that I know they are done!

I am still offering the extras to anyone who would like to have them. I think I am going to start a different thread about the extras...most people who aren't doing the swap are probably not reading this thread!
 
I was checking in on the thread every once in a while, but I am glad that you posted a new thread. I would have missed it. Thanks again Kelly for doing all the legwork and offering the left over sets.

Woo Hoo, I still got a set !!
 
Thanks Kelly I can't wait. Georgia Peach had a good Idea about using them for your future recruits, let them see all the reasons and how close knit we are! Thanks again Deanna

Hey all!

Everyone who had postage on theirs got into the mail today. My mail lady laughed at me when I came walking out to her truck with a LAUNDRY BASKET full of envelopes!! She took them, no problem! There are a select few (like those going off to Canada) that I need to go into the PO to mail and I am planning on stopping off there tomorrow morning!
 
YAHHHHH!!! Thank you SOOOO much Kelly, I cant wait to get them!THANK YOU!!!
 
Yeah! I can't wait to see them.....thank you so much for doing all of this for us.. your the best......
 
Thank you! Thank you! You done good! Kudos! I do appreciate it and can't wait to see them all!
 
Kelly....you are AMAZING!!!! Thank you sooooo much for doing all this. Sorry I am causing you a trip to the PO though! :o

That's not why I said that!! It is NO biggie!! I just didn't want EVERYONE to think there's was on the way yet!!
 
Thanks, Kelly! I'm really looking forward to getting these!

I'm with the others - anything left, please use for your recuits. Or, you could strategically place them in places where people will pick them up and call because they are looking for a business opportunity ... :balloon:
 
Yahhh!!!I got my cards today :D I havent started going throught hem yet (supposed to be packing :p) but I took a peek and I cant wait to read through all the different reasons.

Thanks again Kelly :D Your the BEST!!!
