Business Report...






They had a great time! We did get hit with a snow storm which kept most shoppers inside unfortunately. However, they still had a blast and I was oh so proud of them. They worked so hard and were so cute. Matt even brought our microwave along for demos. The girls warmed up some of the packs and met people at the doors of the mall. As they came in from the snow storm outside, the girls asked, "Would you like to warm up with one of our Bag Buddies?" This generated good business. :) They didn't sell nearly as many as they had made, but considering the weather situation...they did great! Not only did they enjoy running their business, but in true "Laura's Daughters Style" they shopped at all of the other booths. They came home with so many other great deals which they were super excited about.

Like I said, they made a great team putting these bags together. Our oldest taught her sisters how to sew these bags.I looked down to see how our six year old was reaching the sewing pedal on the floor, of course...wear one of mom's heels! I wouldn't have thought of that...but it worked great for her.

Not only was I super proud of them, but I was also super proud of Matt. He drove through the snow storm to get the girls to their business. He took all of them with him and spent the day alone at the mall with four girls...all day!

I so badly had wanted to go with them, but I am helping direct this year's church Christmas program so I had to stay back for our practice. Anyway...the day was a great day of making memories. We ended the day by going sledding together...which is a whole different blog post. Stayed tuned for more pictures and the story of that adventure.

What cute pictures. You're kids are so creative, who would've thought to put on a pair of heels to reach the pedal? I think you guys should buy an RV and travel around to sell them!! Stop at my town first!!!

They are so cute. I love the high heel.

Can we buy one? We would love to have one. Especially since they were made with such love and care.

Let me know how much they are and we will pay for shipping too.

Laura, you have a great family and I can just tell you are a great momma. What great kids you have, heck I can't even sew! I would also like to second the motion for purchasing a bag buddy. It is cold as heck up here;)

You girls are so sweet! I will look into how much shipping costs. The corn makes these items a little on the heavier side for shipping, but I will go talk to my trusty postal worker and see what we can figure out to be the cheapest method.

The girls were selling them 1 for $7, 2 for $10, 3 for $15 or 4 for $20.

I'll figure it out and get back to you! Thanks for being so supportive! Love you Girls!

Laura, my boys love these! They are having so much fun snuggling up with them on these cold winter days! We have to get those other 2 we ordered soon so they quit fighting over what we have!

What a cute idea. I had one of those bags. Don't know where it went in the last move but I used it several times before that.
