This is my Chance
By Karen Meyers
11/14/2008 9:03:00 AM
Well, I'm off to a show.  The purses are made and priced and tagged and stuffed with tissue paper and brushed to make them look lovely.  The tables and drapes and display items are loaded in the car.  The business cards and promotional materials are stacked neatly.  I've chosen my outfit to wear and organized some handsewing to do if it gets slow.  I even cleaned the kitchen so I'm not greeted with yesterday's dishes when I get back because even though my husband keeps the home fires burning, he doesn't necessarily keep them clean.
I'm ready to go.

So, did I forget anything?

Well, I did.  I forgot to prepare a blog entry for today. This time of year is so hectic with all the Fall shows and selling opportunities, and really it is make it or break for many businesses, large and small. I just have had a hard time thinking of anything else.

 Since I have been playing a lot of Yahtzee with my son lately, (you know the game where you roll the dice and come up with different combinations and then score them accordingly to their degree of difficulty) I thought I might use this as my "chance" entry.  The time when you roll the dice and don't come up with combination worth scoring, so you just total up the dice.

So I'm off to my show, wish me luck . And to everyone else out there with shows this weekend and EVERY weekend up until Christmas, good luck!  Have a good time and sell those handmade goodies.
