Hi Iva,

You're very welcome!

Mrs. Nosey here wants to know where did you go and what did you do while

you were out of town? LOL Curiosity killed the cat. :-)

Unfortunately Liz, this was not a happy occassion. We attended the

funeral of our 35 year old nephew. He grew up with our kids and would visit

us while he was in the Navy and other times also. It was very difficult

and I must admit this morning when I tried to do the LL, I started getting

chest pains and after trying several times the pains kept coming while

I was holding my breath so I didn't try anymore. I know the deep

breathing would probably help my stress so I will try again. I am

back at work today because I need to keep busy. I am a librarian

at a middle school of 1550 students, so no trouble trying to keep busy!

Cheers!! I just raised my beer to the computer screen. It ISa great group of

people. Even if

I don't chime in on things sometimes, I enjoy reading all your emails. I hope

everyone has a wonderful snowy " white " Christmas and a safe " green " New Years

Eve. The snow can leave right after Christmas as far as I'm concerned.

Just have to tell you, my sales have picked up immensely this week. Have a big

basket of " goodies " at (2) hair salons and a craft store. Both hairdressers

told me my stuff was " flying " out of their shops. Too bad it won't stay that

way all year. But there's always hope, right? I'm going to hit the gift shops

at the beginning of the year and see what happens. That is, if I can conjure up

the nerve.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!

M.

Thank YOU

Ugh...sent this to the wrong addy and it bounced....

Over the past few days I've gotten a few emails both on and off the list

thanking me for having such a wonderful list. I can't take the credit

here.....everyone involved with this list is what makes it work. Everyone

has put nothing but good into it and in return good comes back.

So to make this short and not sound sappy....Thank you to everyone for

making this list the best it can be!

Happy and Safe Holidays everyone!

update a brochure to go with it today... unless I get distracted doing

something else. Been thinking maybe that should be my goal for 2001 to try

and get in gift shops locally. Got to go out on a day when I'm feeling

nervy.

Congratulations on the hair salon sales!!!! Wooohoooo!!!

Yes, Terri, thanks for having a good list.

Shaye/ -- on the gift shops. I've become really into wholesaling

through shops/salons, and I like it SO much more than doing shows

(although I do shows for fun). What I have learned is this:

1) make appointments. Don't go in cold because you won't get the

attention you deserve. You'll probably be brushed off (had it

happen; not cool!). And go in as a business person. I wore my best

interview dress and heels.

2) go equipped with a nice presentation. For the Christmas account I

did up here, I went armed with a gift basket presentation (not that

they wanted to buy any..but...), a sample of each of my soap molds

(if you do molded soap), a lotion sample, a sample of my bath salts,

and sniffy-samples of each scent that I carried. I wasn't expecting

any kind of sale -- at best the promise of a " we'll get back to you " -

-but she bought almsot $400 (wholesale) on the spot.

3) If you do multiple items, such as lotion, fizzies, salts AND

soaps, push the fact that people like to buy sets (at least my

customers do).

4) Be enthusiastic about your top sellers. I specifically bring

bigger samples of my top 5 sellers.

5) Unfortunately, the best time to court retailers in gift shops is

in September/October (they tell me the rest of the season is slow).

Salons, however, are great because their clientele is constantly

purchasing. I love my two salon acounts in NV -- I get reorders

every 8 weeks.

6) Don't get discouraged! I know it's so easy to get that way. I

learned to get tough skin while I was acting and writing books. You

get LOTS of rejections before you get a " yes " . Last year I went to 6

shops before I got a 'yes'. The 'yes' was shop number 6.

Happy holidays!

Thanks, G. for your info. We're both on the same wave length. That's

exactly what I

had planned on doing.....the basket, samples, list of scents offered, also. I

also have a lot

of different containers for my bath salts & keep coming up with new ones. I

don't know if

I mentioned it or not, but a few weeks ago I popped into the Dollar Tree store

and they had a mess of new " cut glass " small bowls with lids in different shapes

for $1.00 I instantly pictured them sitting in a pretty bathroom. You know how

colors reflect inside

cut glass? I haven't offered them for sale yet and I wouldn't take them to

craft shows for

the mere fact that they'd be too heavy to carry. I really like offering

containers that can

also be used for other things if they don't want to keep using it for bath

salts. Do you all have " dollar stores " around you? I've been to many different

ones but I REALLY love the

Dollar Tree. I'm always finding great things. I picked up so many Christmas

themed holders to make " gift baskets " out of. They sold like crazy.....red &

green wicker sleighs,

red plaid plump handled baskets with little bells attached....I bought every one

off the

shelf & haven't got one left. I'd put about 4 items in them, cover them with

shrink wrap and was able to sell them for $10 - $15. BIG profit in them!!

Any how, sales have been great.

We have a dollar tree-type store near us. Ok...a half hour away.

Then, again, everything is a half hour away from us.

I've been, once again, looking into different product presentation.

I liked the way you packed your fizzies for the swap. I think that's

the main reason I enter them -- to get ideas for packaging. After

reading Shaye's info yesterday I went and checked her site. Very

neat! Two changes I plan to make next year: I may play around for

more of a homespun look in tying off the cello bags; different

packaging for bath salts. They are in cello bags now, which is fine

if you're not shipping. I need to find an inexpensive container --

so I'm hunting around sks and some other packaging suppliers. I

reeeeally like www.us-box (or something like that). Their packaging

is gorgeous (boxes and bags), but their minimum is high. Maybe when

we all converge for a gathering we can pool our money to make the

$150 minimum.

Happy holidays!

in the bathroom. She is alright but shook up a bit. My back

that theory to be wrong. It pinches & spasms with every move.

Hope you have a good day. I'll be in touch later. Take care.

HI :

Welcome to the list. Thanks for sharing your story with us. It sounds

like you are a wonderful stepmom. I have a wonderful step mom too :-))

This list was not here years ago, we are just over two years old.

is so lucky to have you in his family. OCD is a no-fault brain disorder

which has very effective treatments available. It is hard work recovering

from OCD but there are many resources around, e.g. excellent books on

cognitive behavior therapy for OCD, living with kids with OCD, and the OCF

to name a few.

I hope to read more of your posts soon. Take care, aloha, Kathy (h)

I can't believe that the bank didn't just help you. As long as you bring in the money to cover the checks, they should have some compassion for you. Aren't they human?? Or is your bank run by automatons...

P.S. They will never find you here, and probably not at Jessi's farm. We are your safest bets for now!!! LOL. Queenie will love having your tent in the backyard.

About a year ago, I reported a check book lost or stolen and had the account closed. Well, this weekend, I went shopping for my needed necessities I wrote out check after check....actually, I have been writing a lot of checks, you know paying the bills and all. This morning I noticed the account number was from the closed account! Needless to say, I called the bank and they told me that they might consider this to be fraud! HELP! LOL! I think the brain tumor is acting up again! Thanks for all the offers of adopting me. I think I will make my rounds to everyone's home. Gonna need to hide out for a while.

Hon get to bank in PERSON and show them your new and old book, b e prepared to pay back the bill money in to the correct account + a charge, this sounds as if it is an honest error, don't hide and run as this enforces their opinion of you at this moment, you will be okay you see. I had somethng like that with Unemployment Insurance, I forgot one week that I had worked 3 days and claimed 4, well I got a letter saying that I would lose 16 days, this was last DEC that I made this errorI called the office to see if I had made that error, I had, so I wrote to UEI apologising and enclosed a check for the overpayment, end of story, no loss of benefits,

They could have hung me by the- oops I don't have them! Remember fess up and be honest about it, then they have no fuel. Anne
