Thanks - will try but was up ALL last night (expect 2 hours) with a vomiting 3-year old. I've been bouncing onto here today at work to keep my awake! If I concentrate too much on work, I'm ready to fall asleep! :eek:
 
I have already turned in one catalog show - have 2 more to close and one cooking show on the 9th - so I hope to earn all the HWC products and Apron. Have a vendor event on the 30th but hope to get another show in there before the end of the month. Have only 1 show set in stone for April 10th but hoping to get another couple in there as well. Good luck to everyone!
 
I have 6 cooking shows, had my open house last night, and have a booth at a ladies fair at the end of the month. I"m so excited to get the HWC stuff & that apron:)
 
I only have 4 cooking shows this month but am getting random orders here and there so thats good! I'm geting a $150 order today! I love it!:D
 
I have three shows booked one of which is tonight.... I want at least two more shows on the books for this month..... so I am going to be working on my bookings at tonights show as well...

I want to earn the HWC products!!!
 
I'm pretty excited about this month! It's been my best yet since I started a year & a half ago (even with me turning 30--NOOOOOOO--on the 6th--not the highlight of the month!). I have 7 cooking shows on the books, & have already held 2 of them. One is already closed & one is close. I have 2 more this weekend, so that will make 4 before March 15, so I'm definitely getting the HWC items & apron. Super excited about the apron! I'm going to wear it to all my shows from when I get it through May to try to get shows/orders for the HWC items. Then I have 3 shows after the 15th & 2 in April, so I should definitely get the mid-season. I'm still wanting to book a couple more April shows. I may also have another March show if I can ever get ahold of the potential host! She was an outside order who wrote in huge letters on her OOF that she wanted to have a March show, but I've tried a few times & left messages with no return call. Maybe she went on vacation?? Anyway, I'm 9 weeks pregnant & exhausted, so I'm trying to slow my business to 4 shows a month after this month. I'll really like this month's paycheck though!
 
I got some great news today!! I had a message on my answering machine from a potential host that I've been trying to book. She wanted to know if it was too late to do a show Saturday (yes, in 2 days). She said she has about 20 people who want to come!!:eek: :eek: Of course, I know that only means 6-7 will be there, but hey, I may get those HWC products after all!:D :D

Man, as much as I hate to admit it........the phone REALLY is our friend!:p :p
 
Amy I hate to admit that too, but deep down I know the phone is our friend.

I would take that show, especially if you don't have anything going on. You get to make money on a night that wasn't planned. You never know what bookings are there, where you can branch your biz more!!
 
Only 2 shows and 1 catty show but my Feb did carry over so my paycheck will be my highest EVER! Will get the HWC products minus the apron! :( Gotta get back on the phone again (totally slacked in FEB due to a busy month). Made 5 calls yesterday but nada from them!

Well hope this helps a little, as of 4/1 except for the apron, you'll be able to get the HWC products on a supply order.
 
I plan on buying all three too! i can't wait!!
