I was really pretty sure that at least one of the three was going to cancel...silly me.
Plus I have been fighting a cold and/or allergies all week so I have not been myself - kindy woozy and foggy headed....so my demos were pretty mediocre...but two out of the three hosts REALLY worked hard to get high attendance and OO's...so it was a pretty superific weekend!

Now I just need a massage and a nap.

I usually wear mid-height open toed shows at my shows (I am in Florida)...but I am in dire need of a pedicure so I had to wear closed toes...my only closed toes are my 3" high boots (my best friend calls them my slut boots LOL)...try standing in those for 3 demo's in a row....yeowch!
 
Carolyn - I bet you got tons of bookings and recruit leads from being in front of so many people!!!
