"Just to let you know, the show went alright, we made about $580. We were told by other dealers that it was a bad show. One guy had been setting up for 7 years and he said this was the worst one. I took some digital pics of our booth, I will send them to you when I get them loaded... I thought our display looked nice but I will be curious to see your comments. Good or bad? We had a LOT of lookers, people saying they were so cute, and how they had never seen them before. And of course the ones that say, "we are just looking for Christmas gifts, will you be here next show, we will buy from you then". etc... You've probably heard them all before. Call me when you get the photos but thanks for everything."

"... I did a 2nd show and did great. I had an order for 21 tote bags for a daycare! They seem to be my best item so far I have sold almost 35 of them. Now that I know what to do at a show I will be doing plenty more providing I have a babysitter! One thing I did do was transfer some prints to a piece of cloth and have that as a table cloth, it looks great as well as showing different prints. I love the new pictures and I would like the upgrade if possible."

"I am so happy to finally have all of the pictures! I'm already working on printing samples of "couples" prints for Valentine's Day. My mother is getting ready to retire at the end of the month, but would kind of like to find something for her and her best friend to do to make some extra money afterward. Could I get extra copies of the disk and set them up as my employees?"

"I just want to say thank you for all the support and help you have given me on the purchase of your product and what a pleasure it was talking to both of you. Again Thanks"

"Just thought that I would drop you a line and let you know how this weekend went. It went great!! We did more in one day than we have ever done in any weekend since we started our business. We were the talk of the craft show. From what we were told, nobody else at the event was doing much of business as this was an outside event and it was a little chilly out and the attendance reflected that. We have decided that we have a gold mine. Everyone loved them. We sold more of our other items than ever before. People shopped while we printed off, matted, and in a lot of cases framed their prints. We found frames that we like at a wholesale place that I purchase a lot of my items at. They are very nice oak frames. Today, they were pulling frames off of the displays as our initial quantity of empty frames was no where near enough. We started the weekend out with 40 frames (including our initial display frames) and we now have 14 frames left. Jim is sitting here telling me about the day. Two of our kids had a cheer competition. I left him and my sister in charge. We had 3 displays up with 6 pictures on each and a small bin with just matted pictures in it. We had people buying our display pictures. We had done one for our local E.M.S. squad chief and her husband bought it for her right off the display. We did the same thing with one of our local hair dressers. One of her customers purchased the one I had on display. I am in LOVE!"

"...I was a payroll administrator. I processed payroll and handled all insurance as well as layoffs for the company I was with. I use to get up at 5:30 every morning and not get home till 6:30 that night. I was always too tired to spend much time with my son. Now it is possible for me to do volunteer work at my sons school and take him with me to festivals on weekends. We have become closer and he is such a help with the cartoons. Thank you for making it possible to spend time with my son and make money while having fun."
