Bump,
does anyone know how the vendors work?
 
I think you will be happy with the car magnets. I was at home depot the other day and when I came out there was a woman copying down my info. I gave her a card so she didn't have to write and she is supposed to call me to order 3-4 timers.
 
Hi Melissa!

I love my car magnets. They have been hanging in there rain, shine and freezing weather. I have a special decal on the back of my car so I didn't want to put PC decals on the back window. My back car window is so sharply angled it might be hard to read anyway

I love my car magnets too! I was on line at the bank drive-thru today and the woman in the next car got out and knocked on my window asking for my card! I have her info, too! (she sells Arbonne) I was so excited!! :D

I was wondering if the vendors put out new stuff at Leadership too, or not.

I am stoked to get my car magnets!!!
 
There didn't appear to be a lot of new stuff with the vendors like there is after National. VIP and Merrill should be updating soon, if they haven't already.Merrill updated their greeting cards with recipes to include new recipes/pics.
 
Merrill had a poster with some new items they'll have online in Feb, otherwise there was really nothing new.
