Just Submitted My First Show! :D

[ahammons]

I'm really excited, and just thought I'd share. It was a catalog show, and only ended up being $189 but hey, it's my first show! The host was actually supposed to co-host with her mother, but she was sick for two weeks. She ended up booking another show so that her mom can help this time...they hope to close by May 31st. I also have 4 other catalog shows going on right now (all out of state)... not much luck in the cooking show department. I only have one booked so far, and that's not until July! I'm not too worried about it right now though, b/c I'm getting ready to move in a couple of months. All but one of my catalog hosts so far are from where we'll be moving - I'm hoping they decide to do cookings shows when I get there...I know one of them will for sure. Okay, I'll stop rambling now - my hubby's at work and I just wanted to tell someone! lol

Ashlee~

Congratulations! Your first show is your first show...it's OK that it wasn't huge sales-wise!

Good luck with your move! Hopefully you can nail down some dates for actual cooking shows for after you move!

Great Job Ashlee!!! (The spelling of your name is the EXACT way as my sisters and you don't see that too often!)

Your recruiter must be so proud!!!

Thanks Kelly! I'm so glad that I was able to submit it today - it really picked me up. I've known about our move for a couple of months now, but it really hit me today. We have so much to do, but I just can't get motivated. I guess it's because once we actually start packing, I will know it's real. (My hubby is going to Korea for a year) At least my kids and PC will keep me busy.

Great Job Ashlee!!! (The spelling of your name is the EXACT way as my sisters and you don't see that too often!)

Yeah, my mom wanted to be different since that was such a popular name when I was born. But I actually ended up going to High School w/ someone who spelled it the same way! lol

Thanks everyone!

My husband doesn't leave until July 17th, so we still have a couple of months. He's been gone on deployment, special training, etc before, but that was when our oldest son was much younger - he doesn't even remember it. But now he's 3 (and a big time Daddy's boy) and we have a 1 year old as well. That's what is really worrying me right now... We've been trying to talk to him about it, but we're not sure how much of it he understands. While he's gone, the kids and I will be moving to Indiana. (That's where my husband and I are from) We decided that it would probably be easier on the boys to stay with family, so we're going to split the year between all of our family in IN and TN (some of my husband's family lives there). When he gets back, we'll be stationed in Ohio. Our 3 year old has been telling us that he's not going to Indiana or Ohio. This should be an interesting year! lol

Congrats on submitting your first show. Make sure you remind your catalog hosts to call and talk to people about their shows and don't just rely on email.
