My friend and her mom that are doing a Sept show wanted me to bring a piece of the cookware to my friend's sons birthday party over the weekend for them to look at, so, I did. :balloon:

Got two bookings!!! One for Sept and one for Oct. :thumbup:

I felt silly bringing cookware to a 3 yr olds party but it worked out great!!!

Just goes to show you never know when or where a booking can come from!:D

That makes me have 8 catalog shows and 3 cooking shows for Sept. I am so excited! TOOT TOOT!!!
 
You Go Girl! Congrats!!!:thumbup: :)
 
Whoo Hoo Jennifer! That is great!
 
Way cool. :)
 
If I may hijack for just one moment! I just got my EX MIL to have a catalog show!!!! Whoo Hoo!!!! That's 3 for my first month so far!!! Where's the sedative!?:D
 
Jennifer ... How do you get so many Catalog shows that are successful? I dont really have that many, everyone wants a Cooking show. But I'm trying to get alot for October becuase my hsuband is deploying at the end of that month and I dont want to do very many cooking shows ... Anyways, i cant wait to hear your response, congrats though on those three bookings!
