I am hoping for an awesome HWC day! I had a show Friday Night, Another one 45 miles away yesterday, a dance to chaperone last night, and now I am off to my own HWC fundraiser!!!! It's been a busy week. I sent out over 200 E-vites, in addition to 100 post cards, and made phone calls to more than 50 people in my "spare" moments.

I'll let you all know how it goes!

Thanks for the support here!

:)
 
Good luck!

YAY! Poor turn out at the event but HUGE success in additional orders from my web site, the show is currently at $760 and I am in the process of contacting all the people who RSVP's and didn't show along with everyone who never responded to the invite! If only May were Sell-A-Thon
