Hello All

Well, The Orlando Sale is over! Saturday went very well, we had many buyers. My top consignor made $170; I think this is very good considering this was the first sale. I hope future sales will have more consignors and I hope my consignors will make even more money.

Sunday, the second day of the sale totally bomb. The Flea Market & the liquidation sale that were going on at the time, took away many of the buyers.  One good lesson I learn is that I will not be using that location again, until we are big enough to warrant one of the larger buildings

With that said, I will be looking for a better location for the Fall Sale. If you have any suggestion on an area or location, please feel free to share.

It is nice to have The Orlando Sale over with, now I can focus on the next sale April 28^th in Deltona. Wait! When do I sleep?

I hope to see you there! Remember whoever refers the most people that also consign, gets a $50.00 gift certificate to the sponsor of their choice. We have a few great sponsors to choose from, plus a few more coming on board.

Thanks

Donielle

Below is a list of items that are new to the sale:

• We will also be holding a semi-annual sale in Orlando, along with the active Deltona Sale.

• I've added a new tagging system that will allow you to enter your items via excel on a inventory sheet. All of this data will transfer to over 200 tags. It is a process to make consignors lives much easier, than using had written tags.

• We've added the Charity Diaper Drive, this is something very close to my heart and I'm hoping that it will be very successful. I LOVE THE BABIES! We are still looking for more prize sponsors. I would like to have enough prizes sponsors to help promote the Charity Diaper Drive and to get a large sign made to properly recognize all sponsors.

• I've added and re-vamped the vendor & sponsor pkgs. I would like to make it as easy as possible to help promote other moms businesses like mine & the sponsors that help our sale, support events like the Charity Diaper Drive.

• During the Orlando & Deltona Sales I will be giving away goody bags to the first 150 consignors and shoppers. These bags will include promotional material (samples, flyers, business cards, coupons etc...) from other mom owed businesses, vendors & sponsors.

• I also decided to give Consignors incentive to earn money to shop and to put money in their pockets. For every person referred, that consigns, you get $5 honey bucks to use at the sale. The consignor that refers the most people gets a $50 gift certificate or card from one of participating vendors or sponsors of their choice.

• I got off to a slow start with some of my advertising, but I know that this is a very important part, to help get people to the sale. I have advertised in some very popular children's magazines & I've become a sponsor of some very important events. I've even submitted press releases to every newspaper and television outlet I can find.I want to get my consignors and vendors to get as much exposure as possible. 

• For the Fall Sales I would like to put together a small committee of key people that will have key roles to help organize the sales. This committee will get special incentives. If you are intersted please let me know and I will contact you when I start planning for the fall sales.

I plan to make this sale very successful. Our first Deltona sale started out very small which I expected. I know that with the help of everyone both sales will grow more & more every season.

I'm always looking for ways to teach my daughter, of the grown age of ten, how to cook. I'm determined not to allow her to be like many of my single & married girlfriends that can't cook and don't care to. So, far she enjoys it. 

I decided to share a wonderful recipe we made, enjoyed and had plenty of fun with! I will be adding more recipes I enjoy so subscribe to Honey Blog and be updated when I post.

Peanut Butter & Jelly Surprise Muffins by Family Fun Magazine.
Hidden inside these moist peanut butter muffins is a secret filling--your child's favorite jelly. If you make up a batch over the weekend, your kids can enjoy them as after school treats all week long.

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a 12 muffin tin with muffin papers. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, mix the peanut butter with the egg. Add the milk, a little at a time, then mix in the butter. Pour the wet batter into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir gently to combine. The batter will be stiff.

2. Put a heaping tablespoon of batter in the bottom of each muffin cup. Use a finger to make an indentation in the center and put a teaspoon of jelly in the hole. Cover with another heaping tablespoon of batter or enough to fill each cup about 2/3 full. Spread the batter gently until no jelly is visible. Bake for 20 minutes, then turn the muffins onto a wire rack to cool for at least 10 minutes. Be careful: the jelly centers can get hot. Makes 12 muffins.

Hello Consignors, Vendors, Volunteers & Shoppers

In this blog diary, I will be posting updates to the sale, reminders, and some of my trials and tribulations.  Currently, I am still updating the web site to provide you everyone with as much information as possible.

As you may already know, we will be having the sale in two locations this season. My consignors in Deltona will have the option to consign in the Orlando sale & vice-versus.  Our first sale was small, but we still had many items; I was very surprise. Although, I believe it went okay for the first sale; I plane to make it much better this season, with the help of everyone.

This season our focus will be on Advertising, Advertising, and more Advertising to get the buyers in. I plan on my consignors going home with little to none and making plenty of money.

I have a lot of new items and changes that will make my consignor’s lives much easier… Surprises, Surprises, they will be posted soon.

Vendors that sign up by Feb 15 ^th can receive their banner or logo ad on the website for free.
