Hi everyone!
I woke up this morning, and saw about 10 new comments on the blog, and then checked the blog stats and was blown away by how many people have heard about the experiment!
We started the blog on Friday, and had 30 visits each on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Then on Monday, after a couple blog posts by some local bloggers, we jumped to 150 daily visits, and were really excited about that! And today, we had 1,798 visits, with about 2,600 page views!
I couldn’t get the internet all day from the kiosk, so this is my first chance to say, thank you! Thanks for reading, and for your comments of support and suggestion. We’ve heard a lot of really great ideas from you, and it helps us to refine what we’re doing.
I’ll be posting about December 4th and 5th later tonight. For now, we just got a delivery of Nutty Guys products this afternoon, so I’ve got to haul those boxes in to the kiosk. Yep, manual labor– it’s a good thing. 
An exciting update is that a local video production company, CopperRain, has offered to do some video interviews for us, which we will be posting here and on YouTube– stay tuned!
And keep reading, and let us know what we are doing right/wrong. We’ve only got 26 days left, and we need to make them count!

Hey Carolynn,
Congrats on 243 diggs! (as of midnight) and all of this attention, we really need a shopping cart connected to this site ASAP. That’s powerful and easy enough to add?? I’m so grateful to be a part of this. I will always thank my lucky stars that I commented on your blog a few weeks ago and we became acquainted ..what a gift it’s been. I have so much more to learn and you’ve been so great and patient with all of my cash register errors!
We’re having a blast there at Provo Town Centre next to Charlotte Ruse and Aeropostale. Anyone who wants to come visit…and purchase books, cakes, or a tiara for your princess…we really hope to knock everyone’s socks off with this experiment and make it a success. Bring a snack for Carolynn!
Thanks Carolynn for all of your sacrifices! I am so proud of this…and being able to pull it off so far (just getting it stocked the first night at 2:30am was a miracle in and of itself). We have a lot more to do, it’s only day 4! Aaah. But, it really is an opportunity of a life time for me.
If anyone knows of how hard it was for me to get a kiosk at the mall…they wanted $9k and I just couldn’t come up with that and the inventory, so I decided to start home parties with princess themed products and then when Carolynn asked me, I was ready to go…now it’s a blessing for both of us.
