I finally have a show scheduled in July (I'm new, so this will only be my 3rd show) and I was thinking about having a Christmas in July theme. Maybe put together some Christmas packages with a small discount, similar to the Dinnertime in No time kits. But, not sure. So, I'm eager to see what else others have done.

Thanks...these look like exactly what I need! I was also thinking about maybe offering some items for a discounted price of $12.25 and $25.00, but not sure which items yet. I am also going to put some ornament cut-outs on a tree...offering free shipping, a door prize, SB cookbook, etc.
Any other ideas?

chefa that is a cute idea. Simple cutouts from the catalog and some poster board with nice ribbons would be perfect. Not expensive but certainly would make the point. And check out rummage sales for old Christmas Trees and ornaments. You could also cut out pictures from the catalog the decoupage/glue them to the ornaments. And even a 7 foot tree is in pieces could work as you could toss all but the top part. Simply pound down the center post with a hammer or squeeze it in a vice so it fits in the stand.
