So I was at one of my last PC parties last night, and my hostess was finishing cleaning up some glass shards from when she broke a glass before I arrived.

When I was setting up my display, I took my Trifle bowl out of my Show to Go, and broke the pedestal by letting it accidentally clank up against the bowl. :rolleyes:

Then, my hostess went to lift up her glass cake dome to serve appetizers to her guests, and she dropped it on her tile floor - shattered everywhere.
I'm staying home today. LOL Or at least away from glass items!

LOL

Things happen in 3's right? :eek:
So here are 3 good things...

My pool is finally fixed. After 2 weeks of my pump being broken, they fixed it and it's not raining today! Gonna let the kiddos swim this afternoon while I wi-fi. :)

I get to be on a training call with Belinda Ellsworth tonight for my other business, and I'm so excited! :D

At my show last night, pretty much everyone there went on and on about how they love my style of parties, and are just as excited as I am about other things, and a couple of them are interested in what I have to offer. :)

Anyone have any 3 good things? LOL :D
 
Laura
Oh, the 3 glass things breaking--strange!! What style of party did you do? What recipes? How were your sales and bookings?
How many more parties will you be doing for Pampered Chef?

Thanks for trying to help with my yahoo question.

Cheffers, maybe you can help me. When I send something out on my yahoo account using the blind copy feature (to protect private e-mail addresses), I can't ever go back into my Sent files and see or verify who the blind copies were sent to. I just like to see to assure myself that they were successfully sent and not second guess and then resend. I would appreciate your help on this-- some of you are such experts.
 
Julie, I use yahoo too. Unfortunately, when you to bcc's when you go to your sent folder, it never shows them. At least they haven't for me.
 
It doesn't show for me either and I don't use yahoo.
 
hmmm.... 3 good things

  1. DH bought me a new computer! (a MacBook- and I already have P3 running on it through Boot Camp)
  2. My 2nd booking from the Potty Party was much better than the first, and I got a booking from it (although it's still not a qualified show)
  3. We discovered that the foxes that have started hanging around in our yard did NOT kill off all the woodchucks (the Chuckies are so cute! I was worried they had all become fox food)

I did a garnishing show. It was fun, very casual...
7 guests...$520 in sales so far. 2 recruit leads & a few bookings...everyone really loved the entire party, even after the garnishing bit was over. ;)
 
I had my best show ever on Thursday! She should be closing out at $600 today 4 bookings and 2 possible recruits!!!Turned 38 on Saturday! WOOHOOAND my hubby got me a YEAR of Massages for my bday! This is in addition to the presents that the kids got or made me :) Oh and an FYI I went for a massage on Friday (a mother's day gift) and ended up booking a show and getting a potential recruit from the massage lady!!!!

When I send my newsletter out which I BCC everyone, I send it to myself also, so I can verify that it was sent.

So are these "old recruits" or "new recruits" if you get my question. If old, I REALLY have to figure out your style! :D
 
OH, Laura, that reminds me. The garnishing--our cluster meeting you attended. Were you able to make the notebook for me??--I owe you $3

I do this too. I even just regular send it to my self and let my address how on everyone that gets it.
 
Laura,

Have you called PC to see if they will do an Adjustment for you on the Trifle? Just curious with the way things are for you right now with them. I know people on here have got the trifle replaces when they broke it before.

I forgot to add that my Inlaws have gotten on my nerves 3 times in a row this week!!!!:mad:!!
 
I must be lucky because I can't think of 3 bad things :)

Three good things- Alexia, Colton & Baylor... :D
 
Hey Julie, did you see I pm'd you?

BCC never show once it is sent -- what I usually do is copy the BCC line before I send the message and paste to a word document (to make sure I've copied correctly). Then I go to sent items and forward the sent message to myself and paste the BCC line at the top of the message. Only I get to see that message, but I have a record of who I sent the message too.
 
I <3 Garnishing shows....

Three good things.... um. struggling with this one.

1...Got another show on my calendar for September as a result of my 321 calls on Sunday...
2....Touched base with one of my catalog show hostesses and she's just a doll. She's got a bunch of orders that she's putting through her website tonight.
3.... Um... Captain Jack Sparrow is a good thing.... I think I'll watch Pirates tonight to unwind...
 
Wow Laura (Ivykeep) complicated but necessary I suppose. I wish that bcc didn't work that way. We are not trying to hide it from ourselves--but from the other people on the bcc list. I don't see the logic behind hiding it from the sender. Thanks Laura.

3 Good Things:

My Air Conditioner problem is fixed.
I have someone who wants to buy 1 of the 2 pkg of extra catalogs I have.
My hostess for Thursday night FINALLY called me back.

LMAO!! Dork alert! When I read about your 3-2-1 calls I thought you made 321 calls! That is devotion!
 
Gillian I totally thought the same thing! I was like, wow she must have spent the whole day on the phone or got a lot of machines... lol... I'm a dork with you! :D
 
Glad to see I am not the only dull knife in the drawer! (said lovingly of course!)
 
Hey, Laura... If you need help with those recruits, by all means, gimme a call! LOL

Three good things:

1) WE GOT OUR LOAN APPROVAL!!!!!
2) WE GOT OUR ZONING PERMIT!!
3) I have an amazing industry consultant volunteering to help me with my layout!!!
 
You know.. I made a LOT of calls on Sunday and Monday -- but not 321 :) Maybe 32 though... At least 21... :)
 
I bet with the Captain's help, you could do 321!
 
My three....
1. Another humming bird came to feed at my feeder today--ruby throated--very beautiful...
2. My I am submitting my (only) July show today...still active!
3. My son just fell asleep--he's 4 going on 5--and its very early for him...so
 
oops..so I get to actually spend some time with my husband tonight without all the usual ruckus....
