OMG, you guys are the best:D As far as submitted orders.....I'm still 975 away. (hanging head in shame; that's where I was 6 days ago) But, my 2 catty shows are closing today, & I did get about 100 in orders from family over Xmas; just waiting to turn those in because a few people told me to call them this weekend.
I have been so stressed out these past couple days....I will not let it come down to the wire like this next year!

you must !! besides where else can you cruise for 2 get treated like gold for under $700 !!???
 
Lacy!! Where are you at with the cruise? I came on here specifically to see if you'd earned it yet!!
 
You Can Do It!YOU can do it Lacy! 1500 is very do-able! Call friends, family, past hosts, guests..... offer a MYSTERY HOST CONTEST! Everyone that orders, gets their name in the drawing once; for ever $10 worth of products they order,... that's one more ticket ($50 = 5 tickets). This also counts if they have referrals or friends that would like to order.. you'll give them additional tickets for every $10 their friends order! This way, they'll make some calls to help you out. At the end of the day, you can pick a mystery host to collect all the benefits. (Or break it down, for every $300 in sales, do a drawing... this will give you more winners!)

GOOD LUCK

I do have some of the nicest customers; I feel so lucky! One lady called yesterday to see how close I was; & offered to take some books to work today to see of anyone at the hospital needs to order:thumbup: She always has great shows, so I'm hoping that will pan out! Also my mom & another friend/customer have both said once I get within 300 they *will* get me there!
I just can't believe it's come down to the last day of the year! I do have until midnight right? lol Sad thing is I've got to work some at my other job today....I'll check in later!
