My little entrepreneur

So last week Kate was selling candles for her school's Parents Club.  The IPC raises money through various fund raisers throughout the year to support the school.  Most recently they purchased a really snazzy rock climbing wall for Kate's playground.  So we don't always get involved with all of the fundraisers but who can pass up a local candle company helping the kids (and I love candles).  Kate had been asking me to help her sell some candles but with me working from home, I don't have a lot of people to hit up...especially since the people I do network with all have kids selling the SAME candles as Kate! So one day Kate got annoyed that I hadn't taken her to sell candles and she came out of her room with this sign and told me she was taking the sign to the end of our road and holding it up while people drive by.
That is such a great idea except we live in a rural subdivision so we don't get that much traffic :)
Vanessa saw her note when she came home (and Kate was holding it in the driveway) and she thought it was too cute to pass up.  Vanessa took the candles to her work the next night and sold quite a few.  Chalk one up to my little entrepreneur.  I LOVE HER!
