Ok, November was the first time I have had over $750 dollars for my commission. I know this small amount doesn't impress a lot of you $1000 dollar ladies, but I was pretty excited. Anyway, I rushed last night to put in an individual order from a customer for it to count in November, but I am wondering if I would have held the order till later in the week, would it still have counted for my November commission if I turned it in after November. If I would have waited I might have been able to get enough for a show. I am kind of kicking myself now for not waiting, but wanted to get it in for the commission. TIA!
 
No, which ever month you submit the order in is which month it counts for commission. It goes by submition date not the show date, if that makes sense.

Thanks! Good to know I am not the only one that gets excited over it. I work another FT job, so doing one or two shows a month is good for me.
 
WTG Pampered Sheep. We all have our own separate goals and time commitments to PC; and whatever is good for you, is indeed good for you! Congrats!
