It was all the salad products. I had $300 in the new May products. It was suppose to be April show. We changed it up to a May one. I gave her that choice. She has 25 orders. I challenged her to beat my best show which was 835 and she blew out of the water. I called her to close and we where $40 away and she said to give her about 20 minutes and she would be at a $1000. She did it.

How did you lose money? The dishcloths? I've had 4 hosts try to order the salad spinner as one of their 1/2 price item. I told them I'd have a May deal for them. I'm going to tell them if they collect...not sure yet but maybe 10 orders for pink products...I'll let them get it at a discount. Possibly 1/2 off if possible.Congratulations by the way! $1000 show are really exciting!
