How's this for lucky??? I was at a local family resteraunt a couple of weeks ago on family night. An insurance company was doing fingerprints and photo cards for kids for free, and a local party planner was doing face painting and balloon animals. I chatted with the party planner about my brand new cake business, and she invited me to join her at her stand at the mall any weekend I want before Christmas (it takes big $$ to get a table). How's that for lucK??
If that wasn't enough, the insurance lady came to my house today to drop off the cards, and saw my Cake Central license plate holder. She asked me about my business, and told me her company is putting together a packet of business cards and coupons from local businesses to give to new residents and people who get the child safety cards from her. There is no cost to me, all I had to do was give her some cards, and I am set.
That was the best trip I ever took for pizza.

It would only have been luck if you didn't bring up that you just started a business. You took a huge step by doing that, which many people do not do. Congratulations on talking about your business and getting a great deal out of it!
