I've been MIA from PC for a while, this time due to many family illnesses (I had pneumonia, my DD#2 had a double ear infection for over a month, DD#1 had a nasty month long cold, Thanksgiving, then Christmas...then I had brain surgery in January, with restrictions lifted at the end of February)...

I forgot chocolate dipped peppermint sticks. Apparently, I like to dip things. :rolleyes: They all can be jazzed up to look really fancy, for minimal effort. Can't go wrong with that. :D

Just saw this and got some great ideas! However, with my newfound pneumonia (*sigh*) and two sick kids, I'm scaling waaaay back this year. Unfortunately, I'm finding I get exhauted very easily thanks to the pneumonia. Oh well. What I'm doing is packaging these up nicely and I'm goinng to end...

Hi Stacey, I got your email address from Leah, who mentioned you might be interested in the Pampered Chef business opportunity. I love my Pampered Chef business, especially how I can work around my family's schedules...which is important, considering I have a 10 month old and a 2 1/2 year...

I absolutely agree! You don't want to be a "caterer". Discuss with her that you wouldn't mind helping with the food, if you get some time to discuss the products, booking benefits, and recruiting...plus have the ability to distribute catalogues and take orders. Otherwise...well, it wouldn't...

I posted earlier about a potential recruit referral...and my friend only sent her email addy. So, I want to craft an email that doesn't overwhelm with information, is friendly/warm/open, and really opens the door for communication (and of course, my first recruit). ;) Does anyone have a...

I'm in Virginia and she's in Indiana.

I just got a short email from one of my good friends that reads: "My sister's best friend wants to start selling pampered chef and she asked me to give you her info. Would you mind helping her get started?" Ummm...no, I wouldn't mind! :love: :D So...considering this would be my first...

Uh-oh... Paulette, have you noticed that fundraisers is spelled wrong? Raisers on your card is raiers. Other than that...love the card! :)

I use facebook and the weather channel the most. Well, also the mail app, but that's included. Others I love (or just really, really like): Pandora (free internet radio...but you've read other people's reviews) Lemonade Tycoon - free! (didn't expect too much from it, but it's really...

You're absolutely right. When my grandmother (closely followed by my grandfather) died, these were what we went for first. Things that you could just pull out and eat, w/o any prep or much clean up. Ease is what we gravitated towards when we were at their house and/or "dealing" with funeral...

That is so awesome!! I'm so stinkin' jealous! I LOVE Alton Brown!! :love: :love: Like you, he is my all time fave FN celeb. Take lots of photos and post them please! :D

My neighbor's daughter died suddenly Monday morning. She was on a new medication (not sure for what), when she had some seizures and died. Not sure what all they know, or how she was found (since she was grown and lived on her own), but my heart is broken for my neighbor. I can't imagine...

I do not have the A/P/C/S and have never seen it used. However, PC has tons of recipes using it. I would love to know, for reference sake, what the slices look like... Are they thin? Thick? Sliced length (like wedges) or width (like rings)? Help! :)

For mine, I invited: friends, neighbors (that I spoke to), former co-workers (I'm now a SAHM), and my husband invited his lady co-workers... I encouraged everyone to bring a friend, or two, and asked everyone to RSVP by a certain date so I could plan food. I demo'd one recipe (3 cheese...
