It's funny because even though I liked it, I didn't expect to sell many because of the cost. Well, not only have I sold 6 of them, I had two more people say they wanted one after the 16th!! What a bummer!! We could have really had a Holly Jolly Christmas around here if I was still able to sell them!

How are we supposed to know if the knives shipped? Will they have their own shipping info in CC? I had a customer order some through a catalog show, but the host is hard to get ahold of so I'm not sure if she ever received them. It's from a show I closed in September. The customer never called to say she didn't get them, but I don't know if she's just waiting or not.
