See our Trifle Bowl on Oprah!
“The Oprah Winfrey Show” is expected to showcase our fabulous Trifle Bowl on Thursday, May 17!

The show is titled, “Oprah’s Neighbors Throw a Party.” And, as party favors, Oprah has selected our Trifle Bowl and 2–3 other local items that she will present to guests and her studio audience.

Also on the show is Debi Lilly, a Chicago-based entertaining and lifestyle expert with whom we partner. She will give tips on how to throw a great party where more of our entertaining products may be used.

Check your local listings to see when the show airs. Or, go to Consultant’s Corner early next week to watch a clip of the segment.

You need to get it! It is one the best things that has happened to me!!!:D
 
REally??? We have DVR but I for some reason have to watch it live or it doesn't seem right to me! Even though I hate commercials I just watch it when it's being aired, I am such a goof ball I guess!
 
I LOVE DVR!!!!!

I don't know how I existed without it!?!? I just set up the programs I want to tape at the beginning of the season and then it records them everytime they are on for me! It is the best... no more worrying about did I tape that?

I am definitely going to set my recorder for Oprah tomorrow! Hopefully they'll have something on her website that I can print out that mentions it so I can add it to my binder!
 
We cancelled our Dish and are deciding on Cable right now, so I just emailed my sister to record it for me so I can go to her house and watch it!

Can't wait for all the leads after this airs!!!!!! :):):):):):):)
 
I will definately use this to get some June bookings... I will just start by saying... You can earn that Trifle Bowl that was on Oprah FREE... I am soo excited :)
 
OOOOH I can't wait!! I'm going to have to record it, too!
 
It's funny I was doing costumer care calls today and one of my past host who ordered the Triffel almost pooped in her pants. She was so happy that she had something that Oprah was going to show on t.v.
 
Do you think making a flyer saying "earn the trifle bowl that was featured on Oprah" would bea good idea??
 
Home Office leads ! ! ! I bet they'll be coming! It's great to be a Director!

This is a great idea... I am sitting at a garage sale tomorrow and Friday and am having a pc table... I love the idea of setting out the trifle bowl and the trifle bowl card with all the pictures of what you can do with it and a sign that says this... Thanks for the idea!
 
LOL!!!

Another reason to get off my "you know what" in gear to make Director!!!!
 
So I made a flyer for this, but cut out things from the Entertaining with Ease Guide and glued them on, so I don't have a digital format... but it you want to do this too, pages 3 and 7 have great things to use (I used the picture of Debi Lilly with the trifle bowl and the phrase "Debi Lilly on entertaining" from page 3 and the "A Debi Lilly Must-Have - trifle bowl" from page 7. I put them on a bright orange piece of paper with the phrase "Get the Trifle Bowl, as featured on Oprah, for FREE when you host a Pampered Chef Show! Then I put the Oprah logo beneath that. I think it should look pretty good! Thanks for the idea!
 
Do you by chance have a scanner you can scan it into??
 
I can't believe it! They called it "Party in a Bowl" and I never heard them mention the words "PAMPERED CHEF" uggghhh.

Anyhow, I'm still using it as a tool- I'm going to get the CD and some chips and salsa and all the stuff that was in it, wrap it up and offer a host drawing for the month of June to win "Oprah's Party in a Bowl".
 
I feel like we got ripped off! I got so excited when we got the email telling up about the bowl on Oprah. I sent an email to all my contacts and told them to watch. You can imagine the questions I got back asking where PC was on Oprah! I was a bit embarrassed by the whole thing.
