I do... I have hosting info, the old closer look pages, two commission statements, pics of the trip to disney and other misc info. I pass it around at the beginning of my shows and call it my "little black book" and people chuckle because it's big. I use the leather one that we got on the paperwork suppy form.

I do and have some of the same that Colleen mentioned also i have afew page of pictures of what hosts got for free ranging from a $300 show to a $1000 show "this host got"- these items free, or for $31 etc.
I just thought some people are more visual so seeing what products and how many products they can get for hosting may entice them to do the same.
You can put your scrapbooking expertise to work!
I keep saying I am going to start taking pictures at my shows (of the guests) and put them in there too (after making sure its okay of course) I bring my camera and never remember to take it out! (i do that everywhere.. either i forget to bring it or forget i have it)

Thanks for all the great ideas. I'm not sure what to put in mine because I haven't earned any trips or taken any pictures with my group or anything like that, so I feel like anything I put there is just saying look at me. I think I need to see one to really get what it's all about. I'm going to ask my director if she uses one.

Maybe no PC trips but you can put pics of your family on vacation or holiday celebrations that you may have otherwise not been able to attend or afford if it hadn't been for PC.
Before PC I was in the healthcare field i worked every other weekend and missed out on a lot of things now I can do them!
I also have a picture of my first Thanksgiving at HOME in 10 years! 10 years I hadn't had Turkey day w/ my family. So that was one I thought was worth putting in. Imagine how many of your guests that might miss a holiday or some special event because they had to work.

How do I get started with my personal accomplishment scrapbook?
To get started, gather materials such as a scrapbook, decorative papers, scissors, glue, and any photos or memorabilia you want to include. Begin by brainstorming the accomplishments you want to highlight, and organize them chronologically or thematically. This will help you create a cohesive narrative as you design each page.
