I know it doesn't have to do with Pampered Chef, but I'm so excited!!!!!! I kinda opened mouth, insert foot Monday night. I was at my son's Cub Scout meeting when I asked the Scoutmaster if the pack had a website and/or newsletter. He said, "no, would you like to do it??" GASP!! I had never dreamed that would happen to me.

Well, I told him I was pretty Computer savvy and that I would play around with it. He said great then asked me to come to the next Council meeting. Well, I played around with Microsoft Publisher last night. I have to say. I'm pretty good at this!! It looks almost professional!

I'm so excited!! I know I'll be able to carry this over to my PC business! YAY!!!!
 
Congratulations. Learning something new is always exciting. I can't say I have any talent in the Publisher area so I'm glad there are people out here on this site who are willing to share their wonderful creations.

And you're right, being computer savvy is definitely a valuable skill to have in any business, including Pampered Chef. Keep us updated on how it goes!
