Ok, I did it!  I had my first Park Lane Jewelry party.  It was a new Fashion Director/Host, and made my $5 kit (yes the kit is only $5, and comes with $1,000 worth of jewelry).  I invited about 25 people, and had 7 show up, which was perfect.  I also was able to get 5 bookings.  Yes, we had to play fun games and hand out tickets to motivate people to book, but they booked and also bought some items.  I am excited!  I look forward to making a few extra bucks on the side with this.  Of course I will talk more about this as I go along.  I am sure I will have good experiences and not so good. 

If you have been unemployed for a while and have a few people who love jewelry, especially if it's free, let me know.  I can not only help you become independant but can also get you out of the house and feeling some self worth again.

Ok, I am only a week away from my start up hosting party on the 29th.  I have met with my mentor 3 times, and feel ready for this new adventure.  I cannot believe how nice these items are.  I went to Chico's, Nordstrom, Macy's, and Dillards, and they didn't have as nice of jewelry as I find with Park Lane.  I am anxious to see if this first party has a decent turn out, and if I can truely move forward.  I feel extremely comfortable with the structure of the entire company.

I will write a review of my first Girls PL Party next week.

Ok, I am in with both feet.....  No I will not stop being crafty myself with what I enjoy making.  But I am really impressed with the quality, company ethics, and opportunity to rule my own world.  Keep in mind I have little or no expectations, seeing as though this is new to me.  I have never sold stuff before, so I may like it or not like it.  I do know that I am pretty motivated to try and make it work.  And if I did not try I may kick myself later for not having done it.  One thing I did like was that there are so many things a host and customers can get for near nothing.  There are some people who find negative attitudes with everything, however, weighing the pros and cons, this for me has more pros than I have ever found before.

Again, I am only testing the waters at this point.  I will post my journey along the way.  Nobody knows what the future holds............

The day is starting out pretty good so far.  I checked my email to discover I made my first sale on Luulla.com ( www.happigirljewelry.luulla.com ).  This is shipping to a woman in Myrtle Beach,SC.  So excited, and with also incorporating Park Lane jewelry into my hobbies I will surely be busy.  My Park Lane will never mix with my handmade items or be sold on Luulla.  But with having both available I can accommodate any budget.  Now, keep in mind I have never hosted a party before.  This may or may not be "my thing", but I am willing to give it a shot.  And if nothing else I get free jewelry.

However, keeping my own jewelry creativity going helps keep my mind off other things, so I believe it will all come together nicely.  I will keep my blog updated...
