Yeay for you! I'm at 14 and I've got 4 more shows this month.
 
I hit 17 and two shows cancelled!I am so very bummed! I was on a definate roll and my only other two shows this month had to cancel! I rescheduled them both but well, they ain't for September! I gotta get on the phone when I can talk again. I got laringitis Friday night from coughing so much. My boss gave me a cold, the snot! (No pun intended!)
I am hoping maybe to catch the last full weekend and get two shows in. Maybe three I forgot the 30th is a Saturday and we have until the 5th to get the shows in. Hmm!
GOOD LUCK everyone! I know we could all use free money or free stuff!
 
I've only got 1 so far. I've had one show that hasn't closed yet, but I have 5 more coming up. I'm going to really talk it up. Not only do I get to earn stuff, but it's a great deal for them!
 
I have 7 with 3 shows coming up. One of the shows is a bread baking where I will be showcasing the loaf pans as well as the rectangular stone. I know for at least one of my catalog shows some stoneware will be bought as the person holding it is replacing some of her stoneware.
 
tlennI have used the mini-fluted and the fluted to make bread in as well. They both work really well and make fun breads! I know neither are the specials but they count for you in sales.
 
9 so far with 4 shows to go and a expo/booth at the end of the month. Just 3 more!! (of course then I will want 12 more....oh my...)

Thanks that is great to know. I'll mention those at the show. You all are a great source of info. Now if I would just get myself over "fear of the phone" I could really get going.;)
 
I have sold 9 (in 2 shows) and I have two more shows booked this month. I didnt know that I could do it!

Hey all I only have 4 and only 2 shows this month...but do have a FR, registry and a catalog show or two that could come through. We'll get there!
 
I had one show so far and it was HUGE, and I sold 11 pieces. Well, actually 10, but since it was such a high show, I bought a deep dish baker for the hostess as a gift.

I have 6 more shows to go this month... and love that they are giving us til october 5 to close the September shows out. That is nice.

Talk up the stoneware deals a lot. Make sure you do a recipe with the stoneware. See http://www.chefsuccess.com/showthread.php?t=10498 for other great ideas and flyers.

One of the things I'm doing is sending out a document (SpecialDiscounts_small.doc) to all the hostesses showing them how they can get $211 worth of stoneware for around $60 + tax if they hold a $400 show and around $45 + tax if they hold a $500 show. The file can be found in the files section.

I have possibly 1 show at end of month.

I baked a cake in the mini baker. Lefy in stoneware to show how this stoneware could be used to bake cakes. I passed this around at show. Then I let guest use decorator bottles to decorate. Two guest purchase 2 mini bakers and I sold 3 decorator bottles.

I used one box cake mix and made 1 batch cupcakes in silcone pan and 1 layer cake in mini baker.

The cupcakes bakes to high. So I cut the bottoms off, spread peanut butter on 1/2 the bottoms and stuck them together. At show I sprinkle powered sugar on them and they were a hit.

I've done 24 so far... all from my fundraiser. I still have 1 show, 1 catalog show, and a booth to come, plus some extra fundraiser orders that I am waiting on... come on 36! I am definately making the caramel apple bread pudding at all my shows this month (if I can get some more)... shows cookware, the new stoneware piece and the APCS and smells amazing and is done in the microwave! Come on sales!

Found out last night I got 2 stones in a catalog show going on. Now I am up to 11.

Are you all going to take PC Dollars or Stones? If we earn $50 or $75 I wonder if we could choose PC Dollars and a stone. I have almost all of them I want except for one or two, since the new baker is not included.
 
How are you approaching the stoneware sells???? I mention them I think once at my show last week.... well the herritage one.. but I didn't go into great detail... becasue this show was a bit differnt and I dont' know why I got out of my song and dance that I normaly do but I did... Now I have to get it back:)

A kitchen Show live or better yet, on the phone at home with her hosts and guests and then the kitchen show live. The whole works! GONGRATULATIONS! Carolyn, you have mastered alot. Can you get into a bottle? I will gladly pay the shipping!
