Does anyone know if you purchase a gift certificate for someone else do you recieve the commission? I was wanting to purchase a couple gift certificates for upcoming weddings but would like the commission on it also.
 
You could make up your own GC's to use only through you, that way you could personalize them, and they could save on shipping maybe if they lived close and when they wanted to redeem it you could put it on a show you have open.

My brain has been on PC vacation, I guess is the best way to put it. :o But I'm trying to get things back on track.
 
Well, We missed ya! Glad to see you back here! :O)
Know what ya mean though! Summer has been a drag for me! No shows in July and only 4 (barely qualifying) in August! Hope the fall picks up soon for everyone who's had it rough these past few months!
