Working
at the office is a thing of the past for Camilla Motte. This Mom Gets Paid To Party.
Camilla's new home-based business is literally a One Stop, one call party shop offering
party supplies, party planning services, gifts and accessories to busy parents across the
United States and Canada. Motte is a mother of one and says that she formed her home based
business after going through tough times in the workplace. "I felt that I needed a
change and I really needed to be home for my son." The Timing was right and therefore
Motte was able to live her life long dream of becoming a SAHM (Stay At Home Mom).
1-800-PARTYSHOP, is a direct sales company based in Sebring, Florida that offers over 100
different theme parties for all occasions. Motte says, "I was immediately attracted
to 1-800-PARTYSHOP because the company does most of the work for us. We don't take orders
or deliver products unless we are actually planning the party. For customers who only
wants party supplies, they may either call a toll free number or order through our secure
server online. Their products are then delivered to their door in 3-5 business days."

have set our goals and we have to do our best to reach for them every day." |
