Well, I had my 3rd fundraiser last night. We did a bunco party.
I told the chairperson that if they were expecting alot of people, that they may want to bring a few extra snacks besides what I was providing. LOL They brought a freakin' Smorgasboard! LOL
Anywho, I didn't take my stuff to work and leave from there like I usually would. I had made the Easy Chocolate Trifle, so I wanted to make sure it stayed in the fridge as long as possible. So I went home after work, quickly gathered everything, got it loaded into the car and headed out the door. Mind you, this show was approximately 45 minutes from where I live. The show started at 6:30, so I had planned to be there right around 6 since I didn't have to prepare anything there, just set up. I no more got 4 miles down the road, and Low and Behold, a freakin' WRECK!!
I ended up 1/2 hour late and got there about 6:40. Everyone was real gracious and understood. I had called to let them know I was going to be late. Thank goodness for cell phones. Luckily, the chairperson had everyone go ahead and start eating. So everyone was busy eating and socializing while I unpacked. I guess it worked out afterall.
For the grand finale. After the games were over and orders collected.......
Drumrolll please................................................................................
My show totaled right at $900!!! WoooHoooo!!!
I'm so excited. I also got 2 bookings, which was great. So May is looking real good right now. I have 4 shows scheduled, which is right on target with my goal. With the two other shows I've yet to close (Hopefully will tonight or tomorrow night,) my total sales this month will be around $2700!!! I never have had THAT good of a month before! Granted, we only get 15% with Fundraisers, but still!! I'm so excited!!!
I know that I'll be getting Mid-Season Products and at least another $100 in PC dollars. I'll be borderline on hitting $5k in sales, so I may try to throw together a catalog show depending on how much I need. (Anyone want to place an order? )
Well, thanks for hanging in there and listening to me toot my own horn. I am just so excited, that I HAD to share with my virtual cluster!! Cheers!!
