We also have booked 4 more shows (2 in September and 2 in October). We are so excited that our first show was a success! I know all shows won't be so good but it's nice to get started like this!!

Thanks so much for all of your encourageent and advice!
 
Wow!!That is GREAT you guys!! :eek: You are certainly off to a good start. Keep the spirit flowing and you CAN have more shows like this one.
 
Yea!You have almost qualified with your first show:D Think of all the free stuff that is coming your way! And the best thing is that your first show has turned into 4 more shows...which will turn into more...which will turn into more...WOW!
 
You guys are AWESOME!! I wish my hubby would be my partner in business, but I am holding my own and loving it!

I am so excited for you, and can't WAIT to see you move forward to Directorship and beyond soon...(I would love to walk with you at Leadership!):D

Keep it up!

PS. Please tell me you rebooked your host for January (when the new stuff comes out!)....ALWAYS rebook your host at the show so you don't have to try and find her later...ESPECIALLY a $1000+ Host!!!!!

I made the Warm Apple-Almond Crisp. I served it with ice cream that I cut with the crinkle cutter and everyone loved it!

Sara and I go to college in Maryville, MO and this show was in Hannibal, MO (our home town). The towns are almost 250 miles apart and we have shows booked in both of them! Thank goodness mileage is tax-deductible! :p

We actually did! I didn't count this in our total of bookings ut we scheduled another show in February with this host. The date isn't set in stone because it is several months away, so I didn't count it in our total of new bookings. I guess that makes 5 bookings! :)
 
You should count it! It counts in PP when you submit. I have done this with both hosts from last weekend. Both had no problem passing a catty around in 6 mos and that counts! What hooked them was the chance to order 2 host specials. So I will keep them up to date on those specials and we'll firm up the date based on what month they want.

Congrats! I wish my hubby would be more into this too.
 
Please rebook them for MARCH for the new products, not January or February. Spring products are for sale MARCH 1st! Unfortunetly it is not within 6 months, so if she waits for new products she won't get the booking bonus off herself. Maybe a catty show for X-mas presents in Dec, then book her for March?

I just wanted to make sure you guys knew that the new products are for sale September 1st and March 1st. And remember to put the booking in PP for her to get 2 specials if she has her show within the next 6 months!
 
Gillian: LOVE the pic! Too cute!
 
Way to go! My very first Kitchen show was $1120! And I was on cloud 9! But another $1k show didn't happen again for me until 5 months later! It kind of sets the bar really high after your first show and $1k+!!! Good luck!
