Did you see? Our conference tote this year will have a catalog window!

Yes I did see it. I just like a bag with some personalty and pockets! The catalog tote that I carry now has no pockets and it drives me nuts! So the one I has made as MANY pockets and a zipper inside. I :love: to be organized!!

Do we get the tote just for going to conference? This is my 1st time I'm soooo excited!!

Yes, we get a tote at registration. So you don't need to pack one.

Bummed ... mine is looking a bit ratty and I am not going to conference ... I'm sure it will turn up soon in the marketplace with a big price tag ...

I am the kind of person who likes immediate results, so I was so frustrated after a year or more of carrying the tote as a purse. It was so heavy that I tended to leave it in the car! Also, though I do take it to work meetings, I've gotten in the habit of turning the catalog part towards me ... and one of the council people I saw this weekend at a fair didn't know I sold it!

So ... guess what? My May party and my July party BOTH came from carrying the tote!

The May host stopped me in February and said she had been looking for a consultant. She ended up having a $250 show!

The July person saw me at a clothing store where she works. My friend was going there and I was her ride ... I ALMOST left the tote in the car!

BOTH of these women live in the area where I have lived all my life! And only one of them saw me at a store in that area!

If it wasn't for street fairs and the catalog tote, I would be out of business.

Linda, Great ideas. What video are you referring to? I haven't had much success with mine either but I'm willing to keep trying.

I ordered a catalog tote from Etsy last night. She is so sweet and helpful. I am excited and can't wait until mine is finished.

It is cute but a bit pricy for me.

Granted, it is a little high; however, it is a tax write off and hopefully it will generate revenue. It is a perfect solution for me because I really liked the idea of the catalog tote but I didn't like using it as purse because everything got all mixed and messed up in the bottom. I also really liked using the HWC tote bag because it held everything together very well but didn't have the window for the catalog. The tote from etsy has the features of both so I know I will love being able to organize and promote at the same time.

her bags are a bit pricey but they are so much better than the vinyl ones! They hold more...are way cuter...and well worth the investment. I carried my older vinyl one around and nobody made any mention of PC. With my new one from the woman on Etsy, I've lost track how many people have come up to me and started talking about PC!!

I just received my bag from Etsy and I just cannot get over how awesome this bag is! It is huge and holds way more than I expected it to. The zipper compartment and the inside pockets are so deep. They hold all of my little stuff (lipstick, gum, cards, lotion, etc.) so the only thing I now have in the "purse" part is my wallet, checkbook, pens, etc. - no more searching the bottom of my bag for little stuff!!! I carry a lot of stuff in my purse/bag and after putting everything in my new bag, I still have plenty of room for more stuff.
If you ever decide that you want one of these bags, I highly recommend Melanie. She produces high quality products - definitely worth the price. I know this bag will pay off because I won't get tired of using it. In fact, I will be ordering another bag in the next few months.
