Or you could just point out to the host that WOW, if the party is $1000, she gets all that stuff for only 77 or 60 or what ever. Has she actually told you she wants only free stuff? I'm on the border of consultant-ship, recruiting myself after a 1200 show last month. I really didn't have all that much stuff in mind, just wanted to have fun. I still can't believe all the stuff I got for about $60, and if I hadn't bought 2 DCB's as gifts for my family, I wouldn't have paid a dime.BethCooks4U said:
