Paulette ~ I would be willing to help you out (place an order, direct ship to me under a host's name to get the 10% discount) ~ if you're in NEED of more sales to reach the $300 mark! It wouldn't be an enormous order, but if it would help you out...I'm willing to do it! I wouldn't doubt others here would chip in too..."We are Family!"

I miss our chatting ole' days!

My gosh Ginny THANK you!

I did get it worked out so I am doing some shopping for teacher gifts and donations to a silent auction. It will work out that I am still getting a pretty good deal after comission back. Also the customer order for the Carafe helped imensely! Just took being a bit creative.

I hope I never make this mistake again!!!!

I miss those chats too. You have always been so good to me!
