A Busy Weekend!

My first workshop has come and went really well! It was a big hit with everyone who attended, including the lady who "doesn't craft" and was only coming to drink. She even brought Jello shooters! (She ended up splitting an order with another neighbour and getting excited about the projects we did!)

It didn't go nearly as horribly as I feared and it was nice that it was one of my best friend's hosting, since it was pretty low key! I'm sure the free flowing wine helped make the sales! I also booked another workshop and got two people to sign up for my Stamp Club starting in January!

Tonight, my upline Isabelle is popping over to help me place my first order! I've decided to order the Big Shot as well, and while I know that it'll be forever and a day until it gets here, I'm still excited!

And, today's excitement comes from the UPS website -- I think this is one of the happiest sights, even if it is just a supply order:

Tonight, I'm off to meet with my new hostess before entering the order. Hopefully I'll get a chance to do a bit of prep for Friday's workshop as well. I'm loving this whole thing, but I'm out each Friday night this month (granted, the last Friday is one for me -- Ronda and I are off scrapbooking!).

Starting off with a BANG!

Well, since I've received my starter kit from SU!, as well as my business cards and labels, I've booked 2 (yes, TWO!) workshops for the next two Friday nights! I'm VERY excited!

Of course, I'm also terrified and VERY worried that I won't have enough supplies! I've decided to do 3 make and takes for each of my workshops -- I know it works because it's what hooked me in! Why mess with a good thing, right?

I haven't placed my first order yet because I'm waiting for the workshops to happen to take advantage of the bonus on your first order. But, I'm sure my lovely upline can help me out in a pinch!

I'm a little disappointed because all the ideas that are on the Demo website for the starter kit appear to be for the older starter kit, but I've managed to get at least 2 put together for the first workshop. I've got to figure out a Christmas one (only seems appropriate since we're getting so much closer!) and then I've got the 3 for that one.

Question though, for anyone reading this -- what are you ideas for WOW cards when you only have access to glitter (bought when I was just a customer) and pastels (which I'm not crazy about...)? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

In non-SU! related news:

This morning we tried out The Little Gym with our baby group -- which was a ton of fun! Afterwards, we went back to one of the baby's houses for a Kraft Dinner party (for our neighbours to the south, that would be a macaroni and cheese party! *grin*) I think we may sign up Colin for the winter session -- he seemed to love it! Once we've got the pictures downloaded, I'll try and remember to post some from there, as well as all dressed up for Halloween (yes, I did finish his costume in time!)

Right now, he's taking a long overdue nap -- the time change seems to be affecting him pretty hard already! Hopefully it eases up over the next few days as he gets used to it.
