Ok, I'm late, but I had to share-I know revisiting will get me off my butt and on the phone!! Especially since I have an empty house today!

I went to my first Pampered Chef party one year ago today. I was watching the consultant(who is now my director) and chasing my then 18 month old son around terrified that he would break something, while saying all night long "Boy, I could really use a break." (DH was on a year long deployment.) The consultant and I had a conversation that night-she told me I would be great at PC because I never missed a beat. I booked a show-didn't end up having it until August, as life got pretty hectic. In August, I still didn't book-at that point I was afraid of not being able to find babysitters and dh was going to be home in a month-I used EVERY excuse in the book.

Fast forward one month-all I could think about was how much money I could SAVE as a Pampered Chef consultant. I called my director, and we talked-I knew I wanted to do it, but everything in my house has to be a family decision, as that's what works for us. So, now came the tough part-convincing DH that this is what I wanted to do, and I really could make money doing it. He said yes about a week later as my director sent me a mini why bag-the thing that got him was a comission check.

And now, as we prepare for our move and all of the unexpected we know that there will always be some income. It's a great feeling to know that I am contributing to my families income, and not doing anything that really feels like work.

I had been thinking about doing PC for a couple of months & then someone at my dad's business wife was having a party. I logged onto the website of her consultant (whom I signed with) & looked at her site then called her. I think I totally threw her off, but that night after her party which happend to be in my town (not her town) she said she could come by & drop off my kit & get me started. Now mind you I told her I didn't want to do partys just catalog shows. That lasted all of about 1 day & my best friend (who doesn't cook) said she wanted to have my first party at her house. My mom had a catalog party & my boyfriend who is a chef took books to work w/him & people order all the time.
Now, why.....b/c we need extra money. We just bought a new house Feb07 & have all the great bills to go w/it. I have to admit I am bad about wanting EVERYTHING. When I signed I got the big Fall kit that had all the new stuff & bought a lot of cool things off the outlet so I haven't exactly "made" any money yet. I am getting commission checks but they haven't paid off my investment. I want so badly the large spring kit & am working on getting it before the end of the month. BUT, I must say it is nice being able to write off your expenses that is helping me. Larry says no more buying but I told him not until I get the spring stuff then I'm stopping. Until fall again

By the way, I didn't cook before all of this. I knew how to cook 4 things my mom cooked that I loved & that was it. If it didn't come in a box w/instructions I didn't make it. Larry is in total shock at how much I cook now. My whole family about fell out w/heart attacks when one Sunday we had everyone over & I cooked. No one knew I cooked they all assumed it was Larry's doing. They started telling Larry how good the food was & he said thanks but Kasey did it all. If we only had a video camera going......we would win the money on America's Funniest Home Video! I was SOOOOO proud of myself that very day. All thanks to PAMPERED CHEF!!!!
