Most of the pictures are in the consultant news that is posted on CC. Also they are on the special pages. You can right click and copy them.

i hope someone can change it too! it would be great!
 
How's this? I've never done a PDF edit before...so hopefully it comes through for you. It wouldn't let me convert it to a Word Doc- something about a bad font that wouldn't convert....so I did the best I could.I had also redone October a little besides what you asked- so that the levels were lined up as far as the "$1000 show 3 pieces", etc. BUt I couldn't figure out how to move that last line OVER so it was more centered.

I did not convert it to Word, but I was able to fix the pdf. Did I make the cx you needed? I did not read over the entire flyer.

I LOVE the flyer! I am really hoping it can be converted as well b/c I'd like to take out every month after October. I like to offer the current and following 2 months specials. :balloon:

Ha! We posted at the same time! I also noticed that the levels were not lined up, I didn't change it on my original one, but I was able to get it lined up a little in this one.

Joy makes a similar flyer, called Do You Love A Bargain. It's available for free on her website: http://www.tastytidbits.net, and she updates it each time new host bonuses are announced.

LOL - so how many versions do we have now? Any of them would work and look ok to me.

Thanks Kathleen! :)
 
Thanks everyone! Let's keep this thread going as we know what the upcoming month's specials are.
 
Okay, I converted it and I think I fixed formatting problems that occurred - at least the ones I could. I can't move the pictures around because they aren't individual pieces anymore. I hope it looks okay!

I converted the one Bobbi sent that was corrected.

ETA: Ugh, wait...the file comes out too big to attach. Let me see if I can work on that...

The DYLAB is free but you do have to register on her site to get the free ones as well. You have to enter your consultant number but rest assured, it is perfectly safe!
 
Can anyone update this great flyer to reflect November and December since we know what the specials are now? Or teach me to do it, I've never edited a PDF form before. Thanks in advance!
 
I would love to get this too once it has Nov and Decemer added. I tried but am not sure how to edit it. If someone tells me how to I will be more than happy to do it.
 
Here you go:ETA: Found a typo! Updating ...

Thanks so much everyone!
 
Thank you everyone for this great flyer - thanks Sheila!

I'm putting together my first catalog host packets tonight and will be including this great flyer!! :D
 
Thanks for doing that. It is great. I will certainly use it.

Just one question about this flyer... are you using it to promote the past host discount? If so, past hosts (at least in Canada) are typically only able to get ONE of the 60% off items, but from the same level as the host. I'm trying to figure out how to bring that across in the flyer - gets a bit complicated.
