> I guess the words that sum it up best are blah, yuck, never again. It was

> a high school, so I thought my handmade soaps and bath products would go

> you could possibly wat, that was just too high.
> I informed her politely that no, I did not offer those kinds of 
> promotions.
> Then another woman asked me what was the difference between my tubes of
> homemade flavored lip balm and chapstick. Well, let's see, ultra
> moisturizing, flavored really well, and not a whole cocktail of chemicals.
> Not good enough. So to make a long story short, it was a bust. I barely 
> made
> my table back, which is I guess at least something.
> And the ironic part is the people that bought from me were the ones I
> invited to the craft show. Have a great week and hope you have better
> success with your craft endeavors. Watch out for the crazy blind lady with
> the dolly. I have another show in 3 weeks. lol Charlotte
