Becky, did you have trouble with your bamboo cheese board? I certainly have.

Julie - there was a whole lot of bamboo boards with wells that weren't the right size. If yours is like that - call and get a replacement!
 
Thanks Becky

Is it so that the 2 petite squares don't fit exatly, one kinda sits up a little? I saw the new cranberry ones at conference and thought maybe they made the ranberry ones a tad smaller! I got my board bak when it first came out! I may have even gotten it as a hostess 60% off item when my hostess didn't want to get it!:rolleyes: shhhh ah, well, guess I'll have to live with it!

I had the same trouble! My petite squares didn't fit right... the third one sat up some...not all the way in...So I sent it back...got the second one, and same problem! So I just said 'forget it!" and kept it...although I'd love for it to fit right, I've not used it, and don't think I will much anyway...
Oh well...I hope I don't have the same problems with the appetizer plates/caddy!!
 
The New Appetizer Plates/Stand was the first item I saw that I knew I had to have right away. I hope mine area alright when I finally get my package.
