So far I know that I am getting the Medallion Mirror, Estate Wall Shelf, Estate Bath Set and the Tall Dome. I still have 3 1/2 buys and about $30 free to mess with. But again..I need to know the tax situation so I can order. I have a budget and I have to stick to it! LOL

I just texted my friend and I am going to run upstairs to look at my reciept since I just bought the olive jar trio last month. My friend who sells is always tells people she borrows my stuff for shows b/c I have more than her
I hosted in January once and got double hostess dollars and had a $1000 party, it rocked! August is double hostess dollars again, I may do a catty party. I love the Estate wall shelf and bath set, I have it but we are going to re-do our bathroom and I bought it for that. I can not wait to see the new fall catty. SLAH conference was this past weekend, so I am trying to get the scoop on what is new

I get free shipping and handling. I guess what I meant was do I as the host pay taxes on my items at their full price or discounted price? I seem to remember that I paid taxes on my free stuff and half prices last time but I not on the specials......
Hmmmm if only she would be quicker about answering my e-mails!

hmm, let me find my reciept from when I hosted.
That's right you do get free S&H~ duh, sorry!
I would think you would pay the tax on what they are discounted at. I think my friend went to bed b/c I didn't hear back and she was at my house earlier and said she was pretty wiped out. off to look for another reciept
