I've already held 3 May shows so far. Taking this week off for a choir trip to San Antonio and then have 11 more shows for the month from the 13th on. Just booked a bridal show and a HWC fundraiser for a Cancer Center. So, excited! Should be an awesome month! Had record sales last month of over $5600 and am shooting for @ least $6000 this month. Hopefully much more though! :)

Well, I had a chance to finally post out here. I had a great Mother's Day as we all got together for a cook out. A bit chilly but all in all, very good. I needed a good day after the flower sale. IT WAS A BUST! No lie, NOT ONE ORDER!!! We had awful weather. The temps ran in the mid to upper 40's, rain, hail, snow and that was both days! So, now I am working at my old job for a few days. I handed out HWC info last week but again, not a nibble. Not that I can blame them as they are all getting laid off permanently this month. I just do not think I will make my goal this year. That's OK. At least I can say I tried! Next week, once i am done with my contract job, I am gonna check out a few more things including my restaurants like I previously mentioned. I still have time so... And I am not giving up without a fight! I hope you all are doing better than I am right now.
