karjack and pjack rock hardcore!

My first Pampered Chef party outside my home was a rockin' success! Karjack made out like a bandit scoring $176.05 in FREE kitchen tools! How cool is that!?!

Today is full of prep for my Sunday and Monday shows. Yay!

I received 4 boxes full of stuff this morning. While I was on a conference call with a client, I sorted everyone's equipment into bags and have them lining the wall of the living room, ready to distribute. If you ordered something, I'll be giving you a ring so we can arrange a time for me to deliver the goods ( Read more... )

What a super cool day!

I was at the Valley River Mall this morning for the Home-Based Business Expo. In 2.5 hours I gathered a few leads (through entries for a drawing, so they're pretty cold leads) and I sold over $200 in products! That's enough to submit a show! Woo hoo!

For my Saturday afternoon Pampered Chef party, I made orange-almond scones served with a fruity chocolate tea. And what goes better with scones than a bit of jam and some whipped cream? Why nothing, save the great company. A delicious time was had by all ( Read more... )

I've decided the theme for the Saturday edition of my Grand Opening Pampered Chef parties would be tea and nibblies. I have some lovely chocolate fruity tea and I'm making orange-almond mini scones with peach preserves and whipped cream. If you're local enough to be here by noon, please come and have food, drink, and fun!

Last night, I attended a Pampered Chef show given by one of my directors. I sat in the corner taking copious notes and I feel almost like I'm prepared for tonight's show. I plan to just throw myself into it and let the chips fall where they may... and the salsa, and the carrots, and the celery ( Read more... )

I'm going to do a very rough Pampered Chef cooking show today for practice. Absolutely informal -- with scones. If anyone's available at 4pm, you'll be fed little mini orange-almond scones for feedback and critique.

Oh... and tea.

Thanks!

Despite Aldina's early morning antics that caused me to give up any last vestiges of hope for a full night's sleep and start my day at 5:30... yesterday was great! I did 4 hours of work in the morning before Shannon picked me up and whisked me off to lunch and bonding for a few hours. It was so totally decadent an event for me. I haven't worked ( Read more... )

I've been so flat out! It's awesome! It's tax season, I have 2 businesses to prepare, applying for financial help, resumé distribution -- all that AND starting my Pampered Chef business... well, it's no wonder I'm this crazy mix of exhausted and excited ( Read more... )
