What?! No Wednesday Special?

Guess not! But that doesn't mean Wednesday itself isn't special!

I'm going to make it special by telling you a little about myself...

I went to my first Longaberger party in April of 1999. I saw a lot of awesome products and a lot of dollar signs. I decided that I could best help my friend (the hostess) by signing up to host my own party. Which I did in May - I wanted the Daisy Basket in the worst way! I invited my friends and my previous hostesses friends and had a $500 show. Got lots of free stuff and the ever important Daisy Basket! (It's still my favorite.)

I attended a few more parties after that and ordered a few more things. In October, my consultant called me and said that the company had a new business kit, it was about half the price of the original kit...would I be interested in signing up? Um, sure! So, I signed my contract, booked my first 6 shows and off I went. I did parties for my friends and my parents friends and friends of friends and even a few complete strangers. It was fun! AND I made a little money. The first thing I bought with "my" money was a TV and VCR for our bedroom; and I've still got 'em!

So, that was over 10 years ago. What have I done since then? Well, I had a baby, quit my full time job, moved to PA, had another baby, managed to survive infant and toddler-hood and am now in the stage of life where my "babies" are in school all day. I know - where did the time go?! All along the way, I've had my "business", which had kind of dwindled down to, "Hey, Mom, whatcha want this month?" But, never-the-less, I'm still here!

After the BEE this year, I decided that since I was going to have "so much time" on my hands with both kids being in school, I really wanted to treat my business like a business. So, I'm joining local business associations, looking into Craft Fairs, telling all my friends about what I have to offer. And I'm still having fun!
