daisy plates are part of HWC

BAgs are reuseable.


Wadesgirl just got the SA list but too long to text. Hoping someone else will post that but I am dying to know since I hit level 3.

Oh and slight change to the 1/2 price items, she said something about the knives with honing cases.

I actually got an e-mail yesterday from a past host wanting me to let her know if those plates "went on sale" b/c she wanted to buy more of them. I was kind of stumped on what to tell her. I suspected they might be gone, but since they are so OBVIOUSLY only Christmas, I didn't know if they might do something different to get rid of them.

They have that limited 30 day warranty - so they could possibly show up on the outlet 30 days after the season ends!

I wrote the HO a year ago and suggested the corn cutter and the pineapple cutter. I know it wasn't just me but I think it is neat that they list to us.

I can't wait to see the pics.

I am soooo stoked about the new products. My DS loves fresh pineapple. He'll love the cutter. I'm anxious to see the corn cutter, just to see how it works. I can tell that I'll pretty much want everything. Good thing I earned a lot with the SAT. LOL!

As for the bags--yippee! I'm a stickler about not taking, say, Wal-Mart bags into Kroger. With PC bags, I can just keep them handy and take them in everywhere. Easy!

And, no, I'm not up in arms about anything that's going away.

I love the shopping bag idea! I get comments all of the time with the ones I have now. Some pink, some purple b/c they are different from the typical green. This is GREAT! I'll definitely give them as gifts.

A little sad about the stone leaving since I still have people buying that. Not everyone wants the handles. Plus, it's thinner.

I have a pineapple in my fridge right now that needs to be cut! Guess I'll have to just do it with my knife.:rolleyes:

And I agree about the bags! I brought a Family Fare bag (by mistake) into Meijers with my Meijers bags - and kept apologizing the clerk.:o She told me people do it all the time.

OOHHH! I love that comeback Brenda!!

Corn Cutter: I talked to my upline a little while ago and told her I was excited about the corn cutter for putting up corn, and she told me I wouldn't be when I saw it. She said it will cut about 2 rows at a time. Think, your child has lost his 2 front teeth and you're taking enough off the cob for them to have some. She said is NOT what I'm thinking for huge quantities. Bummer. Still excited about the pineapple wedger. She says it is super cool!

Wa HOOOOO!!!!! I am so jazzed about the new products. Finally, a list of new, rather than just restyled products. Plus things that are completely different from what already sell & what's in the market elsewhere. I've been waiting for us to get a garlic peeler -- it will be a big seller for people with arthritic hands who struggle with the garlic press.

I had really lost my PC mojo, but this has got me totally psyched to get back into gear. I CAN"T WAIT to see what the SAT products are.... I did over $3500 (which was our CDN benchmark instead of $3000 in the US)... can't wait to see what's getting delivered in a couple of weeks.... it's like Christmas all over again :) :) :)

The past few SAT's have been very generous with the 2 show level, I think. I bet this is just the December level.

As I read this - I'm also excited for my team who earned levels - this will be the first time that they get SAT! I bet it lights a fire under them to earn the next SAT too!

I'm not surprised to see the Stone go; I'm actually a bit surprised they didn't drop it in the fall when they d/c'd the medium round stone.

My guess is that it had to do with inventory and they wanted to sell more before discontinuing it.

I didn't buy anything more than I earned from the fall line. So I am SO excited to see that I want it all!! (should I be excited that I want it all?) But I have to agree, I have been super down w/ my business and just not wanting to do anything with it. But now...oh yeah, now...I want to SELL SELL SELL and BOOK, BOOK, BOOK!!!! I can't WAIT to see pics and the sell-a-thon levels!! I am SO excited!!!

And I LOVE the new HWC items and that anyone can purchase the hostess items!! That is GREAT!!!!

Me too!!!!

This is my first SAT and cattie changeover, so I'm super excited about everything! I don't have a lot of money to purchase new items, but I worked my tail off for earning what I could free. I was involved with a different DS company before, and when the new cattie came out, you basically on your own to purchase the new items.

Just got off the phone with my director~ Said the Pineapple thing is really cool. The plates for May have Pink daisies around the edges, The bamboo bowl is just larger, collabpisible bowl now comes in 2 & 4 qt. Their is a caddy for the s&p grinder, the new stoneware is white. Alot like the vanilla. the company is really pushing money saving meals and the ddcb. Bamboo snack bowls are really cute. alot of bamboo. She texted me some pictures, looks really cool. will they be posting new items online on Monday? I love this company!

They don't usually post any new items (products) until they are available. They sound really awesome and I can't wait to be at a meeting to see the mini-catalog and see them in pictures myself (or it may be to get my change over kit)!!

You will be offered the products in sets, usually based on the SAT sets. We get them at half price and if you just bite the bullet and buy a big set, it is a bigger savings. Some items are offered individually and you will have a little bit of time to get them at the lower price

Whatever fellings you have within you are attracting your tomorrow.

Worry attracts more worry. Anxiety attracts more anxiety. Unhappiness attracts more unhappiness. Dissatisfaction attracts more dissatisfaction. AND...Joy attracts more joy. Happiness attracts more happiness. Peace attracts more peace. Gratitude attracts more gratitude. Kindness attracts more kindness. Love attracts more love.

Your job is an inside one. To change your world, all you have to do is change the way you feel inside. How easy is that?:D

Believe and you shall receive!!

Okay, I just can't seem to pull away from this computer! ha ha!

I had so much fun when I first started in the end of May. June was really my first month and it was SAT. I ended up earning a lot of PC$ plus I got some SAT stuff for the fall. I had a fun time spending the PC$ on the samples from the Spring/Summer line and the business building package and the products that were available on the supply order. Enjoy spending yours! :)

OOHHH! I love that comeback Brenda!!

Corn Cutter: I talked to my upline a little while ago and told her I was excited about the corn cutter for putting up corn, and she told me I wouldn't be when I saw it. She said it will cut about 2 rows at a time. Think, your child has lost his 2 front teeth and you're taking enough off the cob for them to have some. She said is NOT what I'm thinking for huge quantities. Bummer. Still excited about the pineapple wedger. She says it is super cool!

I bought a corn cutter a few years ago at the dollar store, it looks like the apple wedger, except it doesn't have the spaces for apples, it's just stainless with a hole in the middle for taking the kernels off..and it takes it all off the cob...I don't know, I hope it goes over as well as they might think...

Maybe it's just me...but I have no problem using older items that have since been re-designed. I will mention that it has been re-designed and that I have the old one. So I plan on using my "old" garlic press and crinkle cutter (if I haven't earned the new ones!)

I won't use items that are just plain gone. I had to catch myself last month with the oval stoneware. They are my go to pieces and I almost grabbed one for a dip at a show! :eek: But I checked a catty quick and realized no more ovals!

Di_Can_Cook
01-09-2009, 10:26 AM
From what I understand, the redesign is so minor that it's pretty much irrelevant ... If I have a recipe that requires pressed garlic, I will use the old one and simply explain that it has been restyled to make it even more user-friendly.

You can use the old model. What I do is talk about the newer version and say something like "PC has just redesigned the (product) to make it even better. I can't wait till my new one gets here". or "I am working to earn the new design for FREE! How cool is that...Pc lets me earn products for FREE!". I wouldn't use a product that has been removed from the line if there is a different product that can be used. If I have to use an old product I don't talk about it...such as an old platter. If someone asks I tell them that its no longer available, but most likely nobody will ask...unless you take the chillzanne collection. I wouldn't recommend that.

I do the same thing with redesigned items.

As for the corn cutter, I've had several through the years. I like my corn right from the cob. The Furry Guy, however, prefers his to be removed. The cutters that are a ring are quick, but unless your ears of corn are just the right size, there can be a lot of waste. Or, the cutter can get stuck. Living in the middle of corn country, we get widely varied cob sizes. I have used a type similar to a planer, where I ran the corn over a blade. That did 2 full rows and 2 half rows. It works well if you're doing a creamed corn, but not if you like whole kernels The one I currently use does a couple of rows at a time. I like it, and it works quickly. It will be interesting to see the new PC one.

I like mine off the cob as well, from having braces for years as a child I just became accustomed to eating it that way.

you'd be amazed what the Santoku knife will do to take corn off the cob, it just flies off!

Ok, thank you. I didn't want to have to worry about getting the new model since I just got the first one! LOL I need to actually sell some product first. Just dropped off a packet today to a lady who is interested in doing a catalog show. She sounded for sure like she was gonna do it and wanted 5 catalogs...hopefully she follows through. I will call her in a few days if she doesn't call me, but don't wanna bug her. Then my first small show is the 30th and grand opening Feb. 7th!
