Alright...so although I am only in SS1 and should qualify for the roasting pan (have two shows submitted with another two on the books by the end of the month), I don't think I will make the 1250 needed for the bonuses. Having said that, I'm still hoping to earn at least ONE of the show to go pieces (think the whole shebang might be a bit out of reach). My question is this...has anyone seen the Show to Go pieces? Are there places for SA pieces or will it be more beneficial to order the SA tote before it goes away? I was thinking I should definitely order the SA tote (I love SA and already have the entertaining set) when I realized it's designed to hold boats as well and the boats go away in the coming season. So, do I hold on and hope I get the Show to Go (assuming there are places for SA) or do I order the tote? Having already spent WAY more money to get my business up and running than I expected (the SS kit is really just the beginning, isn't it?), I could use the advice of those of you who have seen the new pieces. :)

Thanks,
Sandy
 
Sandy,

I have the SA tote and I rarely use it. I HAVE seen the new show-to-go system and it will hold everything you could want to take to a show. They did one of those speed up demos on the screen and it was amazing what she got in those bags! It will be all you need!

If you want to get something, I would get the new tote that they have in the supply order - with the clear pocket. it's only $15 and it is GREAT to carry catalogs, etc. around with you ALL the time! It's the only tote I carry! (I got it at Nat. Conf. last year).

Beth,
Thanks for the tip on the clear tote...I'd actually already ordered it. :) I've got a 2 1/2 year old and a four month old...so at no point can you describe me as traveling "light". :) I figured I could stuff all the required diaper stuff in the tote rather than my usual backpack, put a catalogue in the pocket, and have something to chat about while standing in line at the grocery store (buying diapers...LOL).

Have a great day,
Sandy

You have the idea! I don't have babies any more :D but I use it for everything else.

One great tip if you don't need it as a diaper bag: put all those letters and packets that you're mailing out in it when going to the post office.

I'm in your boat with a 3 1/2 year old and 10 month old.....my tote IS my diaper bag! And toy bag, snack carrier...and purse! I'm glad they're durable! :D
 
I'm with you all, my little purse carrying days are OVER! Bring on the totes! :p
 
Yeah, I haven't used a purse since my son was born- just the diaper bag. Sandy, I believe there is a picture of the show to go in this months KCN. I can't remember if it was in the KCN or the special KCN in our fall changeover box. There is a flyer in one of them that shows all 3 totes.
