Coming here b/c I need to get over the :eek: factor.

I am OUT of invitations. And I am sick and tired of making host packets. So I bought enough supplies to make 60 all at once and hopefully last me all season. My goal is to schedule 10 cooking shows a month, so I should be good.

Plus so there are many other updated things re: recruiting, so I had to order those and I picked up some more door prizes (QK knives, twixits, etc) and audio CDs.

Wow, that added up fast! But I probably won't need to place another order for MONTHS! WOO HOOOO!!!!

Now where the heck am I going to put this all?!?!?! Oh Jilley Sue......
 
OMG! I thought I racked it up at $130!!
 
$500!!!!!!!! OH MY LORD. OH NO...no way in heck. I would rather make packets and use up what I have. I can see your points definitely...but I don't have enough room to store all that stuff and once I get cluttered...I start hyperventilating...hahahaha. Hopefully you have more room than me. You definitely NOT have to order any supplies. We'll be watching you. It can get addicting..LOLOLOL. WOW..that is one huge supply order. I just got my email from Carolyn...."NOW DON"T OVER DO IT"..hahaha...she knows we all love supplies!!!

I'll come help ya organize though!!!
 
Wow! That is quite an order. I'm a little afraid to see what mine will total as I am pretty much out of door prize items and need to get the new stuff as well. I'd love to have my hostess packets made up ahead of time too but I'm thinking more two months at a time.

I'm with you Jill...clutter starts to stress me out! I've offered my friends my services to help them "clean sweep" their rooms or homes. Sandy...if you're lurking out there come on out and chime in!!!
 
Too bad there's not a "consultant as host" option for supply orders, where you'd get some free based on the total. :)
 
yeah its the prizes that really add up. It's crazy.
 
Debbie you are a brave woman, if my husband ever catches wind of me making that big of a supply order I will have to move out!! He already tells me I have way too much stuff. That's a great goal, if you have those packets already made out, it will be a lot easier to get rid of them. Yeah go Debbie!
 
AY YI YI!!!! I could pretty easily spend $500 on supplies, if I had that much $$ at one time.....

Right now I am almost out of F/W catalogs (my 2 big shows last weekend just about wiped me out! lol), so I have to order some for February... and while I'm at it I might as well order S/S catalogs and door prizes and new opportunity brochures, and... and... and......... yeah, I'm at almost $200 on my order... and I've got a $250 order for the new products...... so I guess I'm in the same place....... I'll probably take my supply order down a notch, though....... so... there goes my commission for the month :rolleyes:

If I add it up, I probably spend about that much on supplies throughout the season, so it's no difference $$ wise. I'll actually SAVE money on the shipping!

But Amanda, you're right--now I have a REASON to book the shows. I'll have packets to get rid of! :)
