    Has Anyone Ever Charged a Host for Cancelling?

    Personally I wouldn't charge anyone but before I booked her date, I would require an address list and tell her that it is your policy that you do not rebook a show 3 times without an address list because it does affect your paycheck and family. I think if she isnt serious again...she wont return...

    Neatest Way to Make Crepes Ever!

    My cousin made crepes using the 8" skillet about a month ago....and MY pan (PC of course) out-did the other pan hands down! She literally just tilted the pan and the crepe slipped right out!

    Cousin Getting Married, Didn't Do a Pampered Chef Registry

    I know our products are better but IMO, get something off her registry that is not kitchen related. You don't want to make your family members feel OBLIGATED to buy from you. If your aunt and mom or whoever want to purchase from PC, then I would do what someone else mentioned---call the place...

    Which Ice Cream Parlor Has the Best Mint Triangles?

    Made the Mint Triangles and although I dont know that it is a good demo recipe because it doesn't use a lot of tools....they are amazingly yummy!! I substituted white chocolate with 1/4 tsp vanilla extract because I couldn't find the almond bark. Ravioli is YUMMO! Loved it, so easy, so...

    I'm a Home Office Recruit With a Question

    Her business may be well-established...but what is "well-established" to her may mean something completely different to you. She may only want catalog shows twice a month and if that is what works for her, then great for her. I think the fact that you are concerned speaks highly of you. My...

    Venting Over Inconvenience: Ms. Harwood's Story

    Good for you for following up! Even though it didn't work out, sounds like you gave money to a good cause AND you get a fun getaway weekend with the fam. Sounds like a win/win in the end since you don't know how many people would actually be there! Have a great weekend!

    What Would You Offer a Business in Return for Displaying Catalogs?

    Why dont you think about dropping off a dessert or a dish in the DCB before work as a thank you along with the new catalogs. This way they are being pampered as individuals but not costing you a ton---I would probably throw in a couple SB's as well!

    Grilled Chicken Penne Al Fresco W/O Mix-N-Chop

    Just use the bottom of a wooden spoon...but be careful of juice squirts...still have a burn-scar from the last time I made it. But all the scars are worth it....one of my fav's! PS...can you borrow a Mix-N-Chop for this show? And then buy one---it's worth it!!

    Chaos and Beads: My Experience with Kids at a Small Home Show

    I am not sure where this goes but I had to share.... I had a show Sunday that was supposed to have 15-20 people and about 6 showed...no biggie. However they brought SIX kids .... the oldest being 6, then 4, 3, 2, 2, and 4 months. Now I love kids, I dont consider them a hindrance...in fact I...

    Which Way to Order Something for My Aunt

    I would attempt to give her a call, possibly when she isn't home (to avoid awkward conversation)...just telling her that you can order her items now but it would cost about $4 more in shipping. However if she would like you to drop off some catalogs and she gets a few orders from work---then she...

    Delicious Lime Berry Mousse Trifle for Your Mexican Themed Party

    I have made this twice: Once as a demo....and I did not care for it as a demo. But it was soooo good that I decided to take it as my dessert (I always provide dessert) to yesterdays show. I do NOT recommend letting this one sit. I made it at 9am and the show was at 4pm. It was gross. The pound...
