Ok ladies need a little advice please. I am looking into Hosting a Back to School Power Cooking Show. Do you think I should do it a week before school starts, or wait for a couple weeks after school starts. I want to show three recipes and then send one home with three different guests...

One of my host, daughter is off to collage this year. She wants to do a back to school show for her. Sorta like a registry. My understanding is she is going to be living off campus in a hotel that has been converted to dorm type rooms, with tiny kitchenits (sr?). So how should I run with...

I am having a High School Musical party for my DD birthday next month and I want to make generic class schedules for all the girls with the "classes" that they will be going to during the party. does anyone know what a class schedule looks like???

How can I help them to see how it cane work for them? The WHOLE PTA was at my show today and really like the idea of offering something that people will actually use instead of ugly wrapping paper. The school is not huge...just K-2. I am thinking at the most...300 catalogs. I am comfortable...

It just hit me, my daughter's last day of high school is next week and graduation is in two weeks! My baby is growing up. Then my other daughter's "promotion" from eighth grade is also in about 2 weeks! Ann R.:)

I am full of questions today :) I am doing a fundraiser for a high school Orchestra and another one for a high school lacrosse team. The moms hosting the kick off parties want to know that in lieu of the hostess special if they can donate the money to the fundraiser like they can with the...

Not sure how to handle this one... in Oct 2006 I worked a school fair at an elementary school not very close to my home at all. It failed miserably since they put my table directly across from a vendor table for a Music School- complete with fully functioning musical instruments (including...

Remember that huge fundraiser I just did? The school called today to tell me the check was ready to pick up and that they needed an invoice from me. I'm at work so can't play around and see what kind of report I can print. Anyone ever do this? I told her that I just put everything in the...

I am having a time with my 6th grader's principle. He is saying this trip is not educational just a vacation and he may not approve for her to be out a week. I have already had to pay $2000 for both of my children to go on this cruise. I talked to the superintendent today but he says he will...

I am the co-president of our elementary school's Home and School and we're looking at new fundraisers for the 2008 school year. We need to raise about $40,000 over the course of a year (we have 683 children). Our biggest fundraiser is the Fall Fundraiser, and we make about $23,000 (the rest are...

I am buying a business card sized ad in their program. I am also donating a basket for their raffle. They have asked me if they can buy 150 orange peelers (citrus peelers). Does anyone know off the top of their head (I'm at work), what our cost for those would be from the supply order form...

Has anyone done a school fundraiser offering just certain items as opposed to the whole catalog? What package deals or combinations have you used? Did you discount the price at all or charge full price? I would love some feedback on this. I have been asked to present my "fundraiser" at a...

I have been asked to donate to the High School After Prom. Can you give me some ideas of what to donate?? I was thinking Mirco cooker for sure. But that is all I could think of for a HS student headed off to college. TIA

I am doing a fund raiser for a nursery school and would like to know what products I could highlight for kids. Since most of the people at the show will have younger kids I thought that would be good to push along with the other products so I was going to set up a table of kid friendly...

What a snow storm we have going tonight! Went into my show at about 6:30, it was snowing but no accumulation. When I went to my car we had 8-10 inches! Interstates closed....WOW! Glad I was just in town tonight!! Utah has children still stuck at schools now at 10pm! Children are planning on...

Everyone gets to shovel here. There's time to play, too. And then we decided to walk the 3 blocks to McDonalds. Of course, it took us about an hour to get there. There was a car stuck in the snow and we couldn't just walk by without helping. When we finally got it out, the kids...

I am beginning to really dislike school projects!! My high schooler is always waiting to the last minute and my elementary kids aren't quite the age where the can work on them by themselves. We have 2 due at the end of this month. The 4th grader informs me that they are working on them at...

I need some new/creative ideas for my son's school lunch. He likes to take his lunch b/c he says that it takes too long to wait in the line (and the school food is pretty bad). Keep in mind that DS is in Kindergarten, he's not a real picky eater but is sort of set in his ways. Usually he gets...

Hi Everyone, Does anyone have some ideas on Sunday School games for K-1st grade? I am running out of ideas and still have 1/2 the year to go. Thanks for any advice!

Hi all, 7 years ago I got a teaching certificate. At that time, the mother of a friend of mine retired and gave me everything from her classroom. I mean EVERYTHING. I easily had thousands of dollars worth of stuff - you name it, I had it. Her classroom must have been veryyyyyy full...

Right now the hubby is on break and it is FABULOUS!! I'm dreading when he'll have to head back to the books.

Hey you prayer warriors and those who can only grab enough time to whisper too... tomorrow I am going to meet with our Principal about our son. He has Asperger's Syndrome but you wouldn't really know it if you met him. He's a cool kid... you would just think he is shy... anyway.. .he has a...

I've been a hobbyist (okay I've been barely getting by) with my Pampered Chef Business for two years now. I moved two times in two years and worked full time so my PC business kept being put last on the priority list. Now I'm back in school for what is considered full time - I am finishing up...

Our elementary school is planning a spring festival and I am in charge of vendors. Do any of you have a vendor registration form or any other things that would help me with this? I'm very close to pulling my hair out over this!!!:cry:

I have a big fundraiser going on for a school which I included tax on the order form. A customer has brought up that I should not be charging tax. Is that correct. If so, It will be a big hassle getting be people's order funded. It ends Friday and I will need to get their form from the...

I am so happy with how these came out. But wouldn't you know that I ordered the smallest package. I have to get more now.

Ok, I refrained from posting this yesterday even though I new about it early in the morning because the shooter was still on the loose, the town was on lockdown, and they were trying not to release information yet. It has now hit national news (the Today Show even). 6 kids are dead plus...

Buying Children in on tripsLast year was the first time I earned a trip with PC. I Loved it and refused to miss a trip this year. I'm very close to the cruise right now. I had promised my kids (7and 10) that I would take them this time. My husband and I have been on 2 vacations over the last 2...

I think, when I retire in a few years, I'm going to need a hobby that isn't going to require crawling around old bridges. (See my blog to learn about my second career as a bridge hunter.) So is there a school that teaches quilting?
