The kids and I are so excited about our party - I put "by the way, stones are 20% off" on all my invites. I have used mini-muffin pan to make cornbread muffins, and square stone to make symphony brownies (YUM). so excited! I'm hoping to sell some stones! Wish me luck!

By the way, take a peek at stampinup.com, page 153, or search for "taking care of business" - they really got it right this time! I love it. I plan to take it as a business expense, and make my own wish list, to do lists on post-its notes or to make my consultants "work, play, home" ~ lists, the "thanks for ordering" for ordering stamp is going to go on my receipts.

I highly recommend looking for a consultant in every home business. We all like to support other home business owners. :) I've made some good friends too.

One booking, one big order. Not a total failure. I made the creamy caramel apple braid - it was gone in no time!
