As I was getting ready for tonights date, I dropped my beautiful green eye shadow! I was pretty upset until i realized that I could salvage most of it with the mini scoop (since its flat on one side). Anyway... I did and I used the pour spout to pour it back into the pot and all is better now...

Well my BIG fundraiser was today. There was roughly 55 people there and by the end of the day I had a whopping 435 dollars in sales and 3 bookings. Thats including the $250 I already had in outside orders. The whole thing was so disorganized. I didn't even get to speak until the end. The...

I had to go get my taxes done last night so came home and made some spaghetti real quick for dinner. I had the sauce on low heat while the garlic bread was in the oven. I swear I turned off the heat right before we ate. I left around 5:30 and didn't get home until almost 9 (ran some errands...

I just messed up the truffle brownies... I used the entire 1 & 2/3 cup of chocolate chips for the batter. Do you think it is bad? Or just really chocolatey. The batter seems... very condensed (after being baked) I am not sure how it should be. I assume like regular brownies, right? I wish...

My mom hosted a show for me back on November 9th. It was a joint show that I did with a Home Interiors lady. Well one of the guests was a recruit of the Home Interiors gal. So she is a direct sales person too. She ordered $60+ in Pc stuff and paid me with a check. I cashed the check and a...

I did a "Last Minute Holiday Shopping Fair" thing yesterday, and wouldn't you know it, it snowed ALL DAY and no one showed up. Seriously, I think I maybe saw 10 people enter the building the whole day. I only made 3 sales, 2 of which were to other vendors. The bad thing? I'd bought a whole...

ok, I made the garlic bites tonight. I printed the recipe from here but I think I was supose to stir the garlic and italian seasoning mix with the dough before placing in the oven. The garlic/italian seasoning was clumped on the bottom. My other mistake was after I took it out of the oven I...

I was told the show would start at 600 and had the brownie ready to go for 600. The host had told everyone 630. It got started at 645. Well, after sitting in the skillet for 45 minutes waiting to be turned out for that "wow" moment it STUCK!!! I was so embarrassed! Everyone was there was...

Why on earth would someone agree to host a show and then not even work hard enough to get $150 in orders?! I just got off the phone with a catalog host who gave me every excuse in the book as to why she hasn't gotten any more orders! (She's in ds with a company that makes their own...

I am so upset with Fed-Ex.....I have been holding off tracking my package because I knew it was supposed to arrive by today and I love walking out and finding a package on my porch. Well the kids wanted to go to the pool and I wanted to see at least if I should wait around to see if it was...

I had my first cooking show last night. Of course, being my first show, the host is a family member. Pretty difficult to host coach, even when I used the excuse that 'I need to practice.' First, she refused to get together a guest list. "It's just the girls from work, no need for...

I had a show this afternoon. The show was a bit of a disaster-outside, sun, hot, bugs= NO FUN! But I did get 2 possible recruits. One I talked with quite a bit and invited her to a cluster meeting, will follow up with her on Monday. The other left before I got a chance to talk to her, but she...

Ugh, I am so mad! My husband set the Utility Knife on the stovetop and it...MELTED the handle! :( ...sorry, just had to vent...

My son dropped a container of rice pudding on the floor the other day - I was able to scoop up the entire mess off our tile floors using two handi-scrapers! The just a quick wipe with a wet cloth and DONE!!

I almost can't believe this! Those who have read my previous threads know that I was "given" a bridal shower to do...and it was yesterday. Boy, I was pumped, ready and really looking forward to doing this shower! The host and I had several conversations (i.e. host coaching). Well, when I...

Ah what a nightmare, I had sent in an order for a customer and when I noticed on the tracking that it was being sent to the wrong city I contacted HO right away. I checked, then checked and checked again to make sure that I had the correct shipping address when I sent in the order. The response...

So I meet this consultant from another company who tells me she wast to swap shows. I explain I've been in business less than a year and have really exhausted my friends/family and could not in good conscious offer a fair trade. She says she really wants some of the stuff from my new catalog...

I am trying to email all my peeps for a "Spectacular Saturday" sale, somewhat like your fab friday's... (i work all day friday) and all the emails are coming back as undeliverable...WTH??????

:confused: :mad: I had a show delivered to my house instead of my customers house to make sure that everything went ok. Well when I opened my 1st box that had all the heavy stuff, i.e. stones, batter bowls etc., the 2 small bar pans were both broken around the edges and then I opened the med...

Ok, we haven't discussed this for awhile. What do you all think about Alex and Addison? I think it's great, but my husband isn't too thrilled. He thinks Alex is an a-hole, but hey, Addison isn't perfect either!!! I especially like the fact that Mark is still wanting her back and she's falling...

Well, I fianlly got my cracked rectangle chillzane CORRECTLY replaced and today when I put my deviled eggs in it the paprika stained it!!! UHHHH!!! I really hate to try to sale something that is causing me so much trouble. I thought they were suppose to be stained resistant? I am soaking it in...

I'm supposed to be making a Lemon Microwave cake this afternoon at a show. Due to circumstances beyond my control I could not test it until this AM. It's about to flow ove rthe sides of the pan. My husband could only find the Supermoist Lemon cake...so should I have put the pudding powder in...

So has anyone tried that recipe from the Spring/Summer Recipe booklet? I tried it last night on a couple of my friends .. they were my guinea pigs for two new recipes I wanted to test out before trying them at shows... I made the Philly Beef Ring and it was a great hit.. but the...

Last night I had the worst demo ever. I made the Bistro Chicken Twist (which I've made the pepperoni version many times before) and the dough would not close over the filling! Has this happened to anyone else? I just laughed and said, "See, anyone can do this job!", and finally just plopped the...

:eek: My mom & me show was a complete flop/disaster. A total of 2 people showed and only $140.00 later. Not to mention how the whole thing was set up was awful. Ok; the host, wanted to do the show as a fund raiser for Girl Scouts. Fine... She said "My house is to small for a party...

Well it exploded in hosts microwave!!! I told the host I did not want to do this recipe b/c it was so unpredictable. And she said well lets just cook it before everyone gets here and if it messes up they will never know. I asked her if her microwave is powerful b/c it take 12 minutes in mine and...
