I love using this!
 
I've been using the Creative Cutters. I really really like it! It is simple AND it shows another product! I like the rubber band idea from the why bag, so I am going to wrap a rubber band around my Creative Cutters set.
 
I love all of these ideas...I haven't tried any yet but I definately plan to at my next show.
 
I have a small training bra. It represents the training and support we get with PC. (It also always gets a huge laugh when people figure out what it is.)
 
1.) Fan of $500.00 -- Because we can earn anywhere between $300-500 extra dollars a month just by doing as little as one show a week!

2.) Clue Figurines (from the board game! I have the delux edition so the actually do look like little people) -- THE PEOPLE-- we get to party in every circle of friends! You never know who you will run into in this business! We love meeting new people and being able to catch up with old friends

3.) Hot Pad/ Trivet -- This is to remind me to talk about FREE PRODUCT. I looove my home based business because there is always something going on where we can earn free products for ourselves and our customers!

4.) Long grocery recipet and/or Verizon bill-- because we get to write off a majority of our grocery bills for testing recipes, and the cell phone and internet bill for business purposes too

5.) Honeymoon picture -- This is going to sound corny, but my husband and I have been happily married for one year now, and we want to keep it that way! Working together with Pampered Chef allows us to get the extra income we need and still have time to spend together! So last and most importantly, the biggest reason i love my home based business is because i get to spend more time with my husband. Told you this was corny.
