    New Policy for Going Inactive as of April?

    I tried that, I still have yet to get a response, and it's been over a week. I also tried calling home office, but the rep I talked to knew little more than I did. She made it sound like the waiver did not exist at all, though the pamplet indicates a possible 1 month extension. I think...

    New Policy for Going Inactive as of April?

    I was wondering if anyone would be able to shed some light for me. I watched the new career plan video, but it did not answer my question. I also e-mailed HO, but that was a week ago now, and have yet to get a response. My current situation is this - I'm 7 months pregnant with twins, and...

    Anyone Have Items "Disappear" During a Show?

    I had lost all of my Nylon Tools. They were all in one grouping toghether. To replace all of them is like $144. I didn't realize it right away, but I have a pretty good idea about which show it may have been. Of course the host had not seen them. It's hard because you want to be diplomatic...

    Have you tried offering a free cooking show as a door prize?

    Pampered Chef's Perfect Quesadilla: A Recipe for Friday Night

    Just a thought, if your peeps like mexican, we enjoy the chicken enchillada ring. I personally think it's a tastier, and you can use more products.

    Usually if I submit over the weekend, it arrives at my house on Thursday. So it may show up, depending on how close you are.

    Pick Less Recipes & Get Creative: October Recipe Ideas

    I try to keep it seasonal. Apple stuff or pumpkin for this time of year. For last December I did the chicken and broccoli wreath, as with the red peppers and green broccoli, it is quite festive. January I did "soup and bread." I did "green" for March, and did the Lime/rasberry trifles...

    Tips for New Consultant Training: Insights and Suggestions for Success

    One thing that I learned along the way, is you have to have an answer to everything - overcome the objection. It's so expensive, I don't cook, I'm too busy, my house is too small/messy. You always have to be prepared to answer any of those with a positive. Arming them with the answers for...

    Skillet Cookie Success: Tips for Making Delicious Treats in a 12' Pan

    I've done it in my Roasting Pan, great for a big crowd. Use 3 rolls of cookie dough. I usually do mini M&M's on top, especially around holidays like Easter, Christmas and Halloween.

    Isolated Incident: Dealing with Rust Marks on Santoku Knives

    I got a great tip from either Martha or Rachel - can't remember which lol Rub aluminum foil over the rust spot. I tried it and it did work! Just be careful to keep it flat, and not ball it up, as the ball can scratch.

    Maximizing Profits: Tips for Selling at Craft Fairs and Flea Markets

    I really don't go too nuts with cash and carry. I usually have several Quickcut paring knives on hand, as that seems to be what everyone asks for the most, and they are inexpensive. Other than that I just have what ever extras I end up with. I don't put out too much money into cash and carry.

    Okay, Now I'm Confused... Do I Do the Booth?

    Well, in a way she is correct. Any fair/booth etc. is a crap shoot. It's inside, correct? Lately anytime I do an outdoor craft fair or flea market the weather does not cooperate. So indoors is a bonus! But I would say since you are so new to the business, it can't hurt. If nothing else...

    Molton Lava Cake in Batter Bowl!

    No eggs, just the soda. I know it sounds crazy but it works. It has been a popular Weight Watchers recipie for years (using diet soda). Instead of putting the frosting into the mix, they top it with fat free/sugar free cool whip, and you can whisk in sugar free pudding or jello to flavor the...

    How Can Joining Flylady Help Overcome Procrastination?

    I am fluttering - not quite flying. The idea is great. I too did get overwhelmed by the volume of e-mail, so I stopped subscribing. I do have my routines though. Her Christmas stuff is great. She starts you off fairly early, but boy, just a few minutes each day, and you can actually...
