I am so excited.... I wanted to share with someone....


I knew I was going to Denver, but not quite sure how I was going to pay for it once I got there. Plane - paid. Registration - paid. Hotel and food - not so much. Well then the other day I got this great idea to make fudge. We have a family recipe and my mom sells hundreds of pounds every December. So I thought I would try my hand this year and send some to work with my hubby. WELL..... 60 pounds of fudge later.... I have my money for Denver!!!! WAHOO!!! That is one weight off of my shoulders. Whew!:)
 
Way to think outside the box. It will make your trip even sweeter (pardon my pun).
 
Nice! Goes to show YOU, if there's a will there's a way! Good job!

Oh, that is nice. Thanks Ginny, I will!
 
Congrats! See you there! I was in the same pickle... I had planned on using my November commission but then needed that for the family for Christmas...... I found out that I can cash in my vacation days instead of losing them at work so that is how I got my money!!
