CASH In Your Pocket

Many of you may not know the concept of the The Pocket Woman.

You might ask "is there cash in her pockets"?

You may encounter The Pocket Woman at an elementary school fund raiser event. She will be wearing a big fancy poufy dress. THere are pockets sewn all around. The pockets are filled with surprise GIFTINGS (no cash or candy) wrapped in tissue paper.

Upon entering the event families donate money for tickets that may be used for games, crafts, the maze, photo booth, face painting and yes, The Pocket Woman! One ticket will allow you to pick a pocket. Kids go nuts. Once they get the concept they will be on the lookout for her all day.

When I first entered the public school system I was approached by the Parents to carry on the tradition of "The Pocket Woman". When I saw the dress that was to be handed down to me I realized that not too many people would be able to fit into it. It was even difficult for me but I sucked it all in and spent the entire day at the fair being swarmed by little people going for the pockets...(even some dads try!).

As a full time working mother, with two young children in the public school system. I didn't always have the luxury of time to devote to help raise money for our school. I thought this pick pocket thing was a perfect gig for me, I could stay behind the scenes. All I had to do was find little gifts, wrap them in the comfort of my own home, then show up to the event fully dressed and stuffed. I usually had to pull an all nighter, but it was fun.

During my second year in the school, one week before the event, I tried on the dress just for the fun of it. Wouldn't you know...IT DIDN"T FIT! There was no way I was getting into it. What was I going to do? I scrambled around to find a new dress. All I could find was a black stretchy skirt. I had to remove the pockets from old dress and sew onto the new. I spent that next week sewing every evening until the wee hours of the morning until every pocket was attached. I salvaged the top of the dress to use as a top. I figured no one would notice the difference and that I would still be as popular.

This new outfit wasn't anywhere near as spectacular as the original pink Lurex dress. It was more difficult to find me at the fair without my sparkling presence. I wore this inferior outfit for the next two years.

It was around this time that I began to consider searching for a HOME BASED BUSINESS, something that would bring me financial freedom and the flexibility to be with my children more.

As my children got older I wanted more & more to figure out a way to financial freedom. I finally found a system that works. It has enabled me to spend more time with my family, and work on projects that are meaningful in my freelance design business.

This coming weekend will be my fifth Fall Fair as The Pocket Woman, and will be sporting a new vintage dress. A ballgown style, black & silver sequins top and a long orange flowing bottom.

I would not have had the time or money to be able to create the new dress if I hadn't
discovered a proven system to generate CASH from my home.

Please visit my website if you want to know more about this wonderful opportunity. I would love to share this system with like minded individuals who are really serious about changing their quality of life.
