I'm just so excited I had to write it here. I offered to set up a table and do a fundraiser for my grandson's nursery school this past spring in our small town, at a Big Truck event they held. We sold about $320 and I threw in 5% on top of it.

Today we just had a Shopping Day fundraiser for the same school and there were about 15 vendors -- I feared I wouldn't get enough for a party -- small town that we are. I got there and I was situated in a balcony area on the back of the room (actually up 3 steps). I was dreading being so far from the door -- well, I sold almost $600 so far! I think I did better than all other vendors combined (from what I saw). Wooo Hooo!! I'm thrilled for the nursery school:p (I again am giving an additional 5%). The director is sending an email out saying how close we are from getting 20% vs. 15%. I'm sure we'll go over the $600!! I just had to spill out my happiness! People LOVE PC!
 
Wonderful!

Thanks. The school is making out better than me, but I'm very excited for them. And a few people asked if they could order from me at other times as well.
 
That is the best!! When you can get regular customers!!!

I have to tellyou something funny -- when I had the first person that paid via charge card, after I wrote their number down, I started to take the card and put it in my purse! I'm so conditioned. It was funny.Almost all of my customers paid with cc. I had bought one of those little cc displays for $1 or so, and it has paid for itself over and over! Most other vendors didn't take cc!
