How many have not only bought their candy, but oops couldn't resist "sampling" some and have to go buy more ?
exactly why I haven't bought any yet. I also try to buy things I don't like or microwave popcorn in the snack size bags in case I have any left over. We get slammed every year with hundreds of kids. Last year I gave out glow sticks (glow in the dark necklaces & bracelets), popcorn balls and
juice pouches....ran out of all that so I opened the case of microwave popcorn bags. I think I had 3 left over when I finally called it a night.
What was your most recent "Warm & Fuzzy" moment ?
One of my accounts is a small family restaurant. I provide them table-top flowers and foyer pieces. Saturday I was switching out the vases and
the owner's 3 yr old daughter came up to me & asked what I do with the (old) flowers. I told her I put them in the compost bag. She looked at
me like  , so I said I throw them out. She got big alligator tears! She asked if she could have some - - sure.
By the time I was leaving she had some in the lap of her doll in the stroller, and ran up to me as I was getting in the car. She hugged me & said her 'baby' was very happy now! Aawww....can you tell I don't have kids? Can you tell I wish I did?
