So, I'm not a big fan of combined shows or show swapping, but I have a friend who is a Creative Memories Consultant, and she presented me with an idea that sounded like fun - so I am going to try it in November.

We will be doing a Cookie Swap - and highlighting the fun of baking Christmas Cookies from beginning to end. She is going to have booklets with all of the recipes so people can make a Memory Book out of them, and I of course, will be doing the actual cookie making demo.
The plan is to show people how to do some great cookies, and to preserve the memories of a fun family tradition all at the same time.

I've never been excited about doing a Combo Show before, but this one sounds like fun! We are both going to invite people so I think we will have a great turn out!
 
Wow this sounds like A LOT of fun. I wanna come :) I wish I knew a CM consultant I would do this in a heartbeat!! Good luck with it and keep us posted on the details.
 
That sounds really good, Becky! Keep us posted if you do this.
 
Great idea. I should talk to my very good friend who sells CM. She's very busy, so her calendar is probably quite full.
 
That is a great idea! I have a wonderful CM friend who really hasn't done much with her biz lately but she would like to ramp it up....I'm going to present this to her as well.
 
This sounds great. I love the idea of combining the different ideas to be one.
 
This sounds like fun for both of you!

Hope you both get great sales!
