Wow! I am selling a ton of the Crown Cake pan! I bring it to my shows because this is the baking season and it weighs just about nothing! People love the Rum Cake, 7-Up cake...shoot, just about anything you would use a bundt pan for you can use this for. People like that it is dishwasher safe and stable enough to use without another pan to support it. They are selling well for me. I think I sell about 2-4 each show I bring it to.

I completely forgot all about it!
 
ugh, this is my first spree. I do hope we didn't earn placemats and the like... that is so NOT my demographic here, unless we are selling them for $2.00-$3.00! LOL

LOL - I saw that on the news this evening.

It looked like the where the Winter Warlock lived in Santa Claus is Comin To Town!:D They were doing arial shots, and it didn't even look real - that was one crazy ice storm!

It looked eerily like our Ice Storm of 1998 where the entire area I live in was in the dark for a month in January. We had electric crews from all over the east coast up her recontructing entire grid systems. Even though we were greatful when the electricity came back on, there were pipes that burst and all kinds of problems...kind of like one more kick in the pants at the end of a nightmare.

I just hope they don't have the same length of time being out of power. Not too pleasant when it is so darn cold out.
 
Party Sticks, I had a hostess hubby ask me if they were for children or dwarfs or little people, as they are so LOW to the ground??

Hee's about 6'5" and when he sat in a lawn chair and put one in ground beside him, it literally was too low for his arm to easily reach. He said, now I'm talk of parties already, if you gave me this to put my drink in, I'd be an even bigger discussion.

I said, well Maybe it's One size fits Most??

He was NOT impressed.

I have never sold any of the party sticks either. No one has ever been remotely interested and that certainly was not a booking tool. Everyone said it cost too much even at the 60% off.

I sold one of the outdoor planks at Christmas from the photo of the gift idea of the grilling basket, skewers, etc. a lady I work with actually bought that whole set.
