it was pure MADNESS!!

The past few days at my house were PURE MADNESS...
for those of you that don't remember I was featured on GROOPDEALZ and sold my STELLA ring for a steal of a deal!
I was hoping it would do good...but had NO idea it would do as well as it DID!
I sold over 1,300 rings!!!
crazy right!! 

Well allow me to let take you on a tour of what was my home for those three days....
 SOME OF THE WONDERFUL GIRLS AND LADIES THAT CAME TO MY RESCUE!
I LIKE TO CALL THIS..... MY LITTLE SWEAT SHOP :) 
SOME OF MY GREAT HELPERS STAYED PAST MIDNIGHT TO MAKE SURE WE GOT THINGS DONE IN TIME!
 {I even made my hubs and kids help!!!}


We had quite the system going....


 After rolling over 1300 rosettes I can honestly say my pointer finger was swollen and bruised...
my poor helpers had burns on almost all their fingers...
and I got 11 hours of sleep in THREE days!!
It was a LONG weekend but FUN at the same time!!

You can only imagine the looks I got walking into the POST OFFICE with two boxes and three trash bags FULL of envelopes during the holidays!
I was there for FOUR hours!
Fun times!

Here is the after math of my poor home : 


 AND...it looked like this ALL weekend! I just cleaned it up yesterday! 
I was TOO tired to even think about cleaning!!!

So...what's you do this weekend?

    that is great - i can't wait to get my order!

    if you ever do this again, did you know you can print your own postage from usps.com? it's really easy and they will pick up your packages right at your house - no going to the post office! :)

    this is crazy. good job on selling so many.

    I'm just wondering why you don't' have a postage program at home?

    Like endicia.com or stamps.com

    I love endicia.com over stamps (you save on postage, time and get tracking for pennies)
