I gave a friend of a friend some catalogs and order forms May 10th. She wanted to do a catalog show, so I called one week later to see how things were going she said well but could use more catalogs. I dropped off three more that same day. I called again last Thursday and she said she had some payments to collect and would be ready on the 28th to close. After work I stopped by with my laptop to close out the show and was totally surprised to see she had $960 in com sales. :sing: Holy Cow!! was all I could say.. I couldn't hind my surpriseI want to do something nice for her... any suggestions?

Yahoo!! How about a Season's Best or some spices.
 
Ask her which cookbook she'd like to choose for free, or offer to pay for her host special. That's a nice surprise!

I give ALL my hosts a Season's Best ... I'd consider a full cookbook and add it onto her order. And maybe another item too ... to make this one your first $1,000 show!
