....to my supply stock.

I ordered more cattys thinking I was almost out, and I'm doing a show on Saturday where she's expecting 27, plus possibly an additional 14 that haven't responded.

So they showed up a couple of weeks ago.

Guess what I found tonight while getting ready for the show? A new pack of catty's unopened that I must have ordered during my last supply order and forgot about.

Grrrr......
 
Keep them for fairs and put that sticker on them... that says something to the effect of " this catalog maybe old"
 
I'm too broke to pay attention.

I may need some more soon...let me know if you want to get rid of a few.
 
I just did the same thing. Plus ordered more pp receipts & found 2 unopened packs while cleaning out. I don't have an office yet so stuff is in 4 different places.
