I was pleased - I always worry when I do something like this at my house with other DS people....but I did twice the sales as they did :D and I may have a booking from it.

The dogs are fine. One of them had an upset tummy that night :yuck:...but it's all good now. Thanks for asking.

When you do something like that, does everybody show up at once or is it a come and go like a craft fair?
If you can, explain how you did it.
Thanks,
 
Congrats & enjoy Miami Beach b/c I know you'll get it!

Linda - Congrats on the successful open house.

did you send a flier or an email to your contact list? I am doing a "fair" with a few friends the Sunday after thanksgiving. We are setting up at a local coffee house and offering free coffee to all that attend amoung other door prizes and sales. I am debating if I should mail or email my contact list. We are hanging fliers around town to get the work out to the public.

Do you have something you can share? Thanks!!

DH asked if it would help me earn Miami, when I said yes, he said okay, go for it - he figures we're going to buy her somethig anyhow, why not spend more and get her something good and earn a trip too! Works for me :). I'm trying to figure out who else I need to pamper for Christmas before I close this show out. Teachers are getting trivets, My dad wants a new small saute pan....hmmm, who else.
