Moderate Success

I am dropping in to give a quick report on the sale today.  I think we had moderate success but the kids are happy.  My son sold 10 of his popcorn balls (had 15) and so made $5.00  My dd sold one of her herbal salves and one soap and all her blond brownies and made $7.00.  My friends 3 daughters sold $36 worth of granola and party mix and dog treats.  What surprised me is that the soaps didn't really sell.  They are so cute and nicely wrapped and only 1 sold.  People would rather eat than look at something pretty I guess.  Go figure.

But they had lots of fun and we might even do it again in the not too distant future.  Good experience for them anyway.

That sounds like such a great idea. I'm glad they had some success. It's always interesting to find out what people do and don't take an interest in.
