I wasn't allowed to "sell" at the event, but after I took the pictures, I had a a plastic holder on the table with mini holiday catalogs, and then on the other side, I had placed a small stack of lemon mini cake recipe cards. I was there all day, and got a catalog show with the Breast Center ladies ( dropped the order forms, etc off this am) and have another lead for a show.
The table donation was $20, plus my time for the day, so I can't say at this moment that it was worth it, but I will say that today I received a call from a woman who got my name/number from someone/something and she wants me to be part of her vendor fundraiser thing. I am really committed to building my business and am committed to not missing any "opportunity." My thought is that I would have made no money sitting home moaning about how I had nothing going on that day, so being there and being open to anything is fine with me.

I don't shop at Walmart (nothing against anyone who does, it's just me), but a friend had suggested I use mini marshmellows and just pick out the pink ones. Like, sure, I could see myself doing that... NOT!!! But I think the white actually works, it minics the white dots on the cups/squares.
