I have had a wonderful and successful first month with H&GP. Thank you very much for your support and encouragement. As a way to say thank you and to have a little fun I have decided to give a way one of H&GP’s new Fondue pots! I will also include both the new Double Chocolate Fondue Mix and Cheese Fondue Mix. All together they are worth $52!!

If you received this email or letter from me than your name has already been entered in the drawing. If you make an order from me this month (either online or at a party) than your name will be entered twice. Also if you set up a booking* with me before the end of the month your name will be entered three times.

To prevent accusations of favoritism or partiality, I will have my assistant (Laney my 5 yr old) draw the name from a hat. She won’t know yall from Adam but she will think she has the greatest job in the world! Two birds one stone, not bad.

*Party needs to be held before December 2008.


Here is a party connect code for those who would like to shop online to increase their chances of wining.

Fondue!


Saturday was so much fun. One of my hostess used her H&GP to throw a house warming party for her twin sister. We also had the Gourmet for Dummies theme and when you select that theme I bring the H&GP fondue pot with the fondue of your choice.

The hostess and her sister helped me lay out stations in the kitchen for the guest to make the snacks and their kids were a great help. One of the girls helped me measure out the half and half cream for the chocolate fondue, another stirred the fondue while it warmed in a sauce pan, and all of the kids thought the fondue was the greatest thing ever!!

There was metal forks, fruit, cake and chocolate sauce everywhere, and we had a blast! I felt a little worried that maybe the mess could of caused an issue but my hostess loved it and she booked another party in September. Score!!

I had a great party, a new booking, and a small chorus of blond headed, fat checked, and chocolate coated lips telling me good bye.

p.s.

Right now all the candles and food is on sale at 20% off.
