Increase the tagged price to account for it and then "back out" the tax for reporting/paying purposes. <br /><br />And always remember that people won't be at all surprised at an artist being "quirky"...they kind of expect it of us. Be you and you'll be fine, dearest Sarah. Use your friend as a "buffer" if you need to. *hugs* and much love!Carol Dean Sharpehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17163930598784445612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5973794918588068893.post-54669817936795746752009-07-31T07:19:00.132-04:002009-07-31T07:19:00.132-04:00Okay, sorry, I was looking through your shop and I...Okay, sorry, I was looking through your shop and I had a thought. If you're nervous about being around people, why don't you keep the conversation on something that you're comfortable with. Jewelry! Why don't you do a demo of one of your creations, or create something totally new. Maybe even create something made-to-order where the person picks out their color beads, findings, etc...and you whip them into a pair of earrings or a wire ring. I'm willing to bet that people will be more excited to buy something that they saw you make right there. It would also keep their questions geared toward beads/wire, etc. Which might help to keep you calmer if you don't have to talk about yourself or answer extremely personal questions. I dunno, maybe you already do all this stuff and I'm just flappin' my gums! I've never been to or hosted a jewelry party, but whatever you decide to do, good luck, and don't worry too much, I'm sure you'll be fine.Marcie Abney Carrollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07578434608830556772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5973794918588068893.post-50100943260048851592009-07-31T07:01:44.911-04:002009-07-31T07:01:44.911-04:00Could you make a price chart instead of tagging ea...Could you make a price chart instead of tagging each individual item? I don't know how you price your jewelry, but that seems like it would be a little easier. How many people are going to attend the party? Could you maybe print up an order sheet where people could fill out their order if they want something more specific, and then you could take it home and fill it and work out the price. (When they're aren't so many people around). I dunno, these are just some suggestions. I hope they help.Marcie Abney Carrollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07578434608830556772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5973794918588068893.post-36521772933077891412009-07-31T00:59:54.359-04:002009-07-31T00:59:54.359-04:00I hope everything works out for you! you could al...I hope everything works out for you! you could always make the stuff and have your friend sell them?Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13324074437295762188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5973794918588068893.post-70389291410122067072009-07-31T00:55:38.040-04:002009-07-31T00:55:38.040-04:00also, if you ever have any questions regarding ago...also, if you ever have any questions regarding agoraphobia or panic disorder, i would be happy to help any way i can. i was a long time sufferer and now my disorder is much improved.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5973794918588068893.post-35371510272529812312009-07-31T00:51:44.360-04:002009-07-31T00:51:44.360-04:00do have any ativan or xanax? that will totally he...do have any ativan or xanax? that will totally help with your fears.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
