You rock Ginger! Thanks for the information. I think I'll hit it with the combined. I don't think I've sold more than 3 trivets in the year I've done the business.

Hint: give trivets a Christmas presents. I give them to my parents, my in-laws and DH's and my siblings. It's a useful gift, and they start to look forward to them. And that's a guaranteed 7 sold (for me) right there.
 
I ran my donation totals and was shocked to see $151.11! I do ask everyone who orders at a show...so the pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters really do add up.

Cool!
 
ah good idea. Maybe I'll just stock up on them (one per month or something) and use them for gifts. :-)
 
I just heard this...at your shows, when you talk about rounding up, tell your customers that if they DO NOT want to round thier orders, go ahead and draw a line though the heart on the bottom of the order form (for those of you that use PC's order forms), that will break the heart.

I figured I'd share that with all of you.
 
I have $122.29 but I did a bingo for HWC show with $517.00 in sales.

Yea! I made it this year. I'm at $282.63 for RUFTH and with an HWC FR + pink things over $250 donated to HWC! YAHOO! I got much better after NC last year about remembering to ask about rounding up and so I'm excited!
