Thanks! Busy...I have been busy. My BFF and her two kids were here for 10 days and then we drove up to VA Beach to pick up our oldest son for the summer. Today was the first day that I truly have had a real relaxing summer day!

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb315/chefann1138/smilies/giggle.gifWhen I do put together a Cons. as Host show, I usually use the FPV to get some little things for doorprizes, plus the monthly special. And unless the earned discount is more than 20%, it's not worth it to use the discount, since we don't get commission on that for CaH shows.
