Quick Accounting

I thought I would quickly crunch a few numbers for you (and me)!

It's been a while since I have done this (late May I think). So let's take a look at what's happened: We had the team picnic, a few pool parties, finished Christmas shopping, had 2 birthday parties AND celebrated Father's Day, had a crappy garage sale (profit wise), donated a bunch of stuff for a tax break and got our tax refund checks. I also have put a little money out for our home repair projects (Driveway, screen, shed paint, living room paint, etc) Add a few smaller checks from Tupperware (I wasn't working much...) and the fact that 9 people still owe me money: I had another $5,335 to add to my fund. Add that to my total and I have $12,465 in the bank!

Not too shabby -- almost 1/3rd the way to my goal and I started on March 1st -- so we are talking five months.

Half of my summer fairs are almost over, we have added a few more people to the team and sold a few things. The trip for Ireland is just about on pace and I am also working on the Free iPad challenge from Tupperware. I have 9 outstanding payments to collect from people that would add another $1,000ish to the mix. My personal party calendar is the strongest it has been in a long while - I will really be kicking it into gear this fall!

Besides my party income, I have 18 vendor events, 1 fair, 1 weekend crop and more to add to the mix for building my income total. The vendor events will let me build my team as I liquidate my instock inventory. (Yes, I plan to run with a much leaner assortment)!

I also have a few Tupperware Fundraisers added to the mix for the fall! I don't make much on those, but also don't have to do a lot of work, LOL!

It will also help my savings if I win one of the $200 or the $1,000 grocery gift card for the magazine challenge I completed. It is less that I will be spending at the grocery store as I work my way through our stockpile of food! (keep your fingers crossed!)

I think that covers it for now, I am right on pace for my running target but the busiest season I have is just getting started! Yippee!

Cookie Exchange Parties are SO MUCH FUN - for a few simple reasons:You get together with your friends You make only ONE kind of cookie and finish your holiday baking, after swapping out You get new recipes You often have snacks or games! That being said, I do one every year - in December, about 2 weeks before Christmas. (You can read about it HERE or see a TV segment I did on it http://youtu.be/-iUR7GlAiQw ). I thought it would be fun to have a collection of 30 fun recipes to try - one a day in November - so you can be prepared for that holiday baking!

I know this sounds strange -- and yummy at the same time, LOL You need to know the family history to "get it". We are part German, part English, part Irish and part Tennessee Hillbilly. Seriously. Did you ever see that black and white movie of Gary Cooper's called Sergeant York? Yes, my family comes from the Dyer/Yorks -- same family. Some of the "family recipes" are too far out there for even me to try... But this is a pot luck favorite. SUPER Easy and SUPER Easy to make healthier. We choose the middle of the road option, LOL You need:  1 package hot dog buns (8 ct) 1 package hot dogs 2 cups chili (or 1 can) 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese "fixins" That's it! You could do gluten free or whole grain wheat buns, turkey or tofu dogs, vegetarian chili, vegan or light cheese, you get the drift. We do white buns, cut them up and place in the 9x13 pan, like you see here: Then you dice up the hot dogs
