This post was a year ago and although my PC business isn't as successful as I'd like, I've been able to maintain my goal of keeping active. While my hours for my "day job" have increased to over 55+ hours a week, with my first working through the night experience two weeks ago, at my most exhausted times, when I think about dropping out of pampered chef because I just don't have time, I remember how much I LOVE these products. And I love the discount I get on them. I still look through the catalog and think about things I wish I had. After a year, the best recipe I've used (and had requested) is the three-cheese walnut spread. Almost any time I see people from a party I've had, they ask me about it. My in-laws request it at holiday gatherings.

It's been a great year doing Pampered Chef. I'm excited to be submitting my second show in November to qualify for free products in the spring. With the hours I spend working, then commuting, it's sometimes amazing what I'm able to accomplish in the Pampered Chef arena, but I can't help continuing to enjoy it. I love this stuff!
 
What a "greatest hits" kind of post!
Mmm, I'm going to have to try that three-cheese walnut spread recipe.

I did my 2nd November show today, and am also excited to get free spring product!
 
Love this post! And I am loking forward to new free spring products.

I'm curious, did any of those recruiting leads pan out?
 
i'm sure these women have a ton of money, so they will want to give amazing gifts. also with the holidays coming i'm sure they'll be attending parties, so push the entertaining pieces. just for fun, make sure you add that jessica seinfeld uses pampered chef products and she was using them on the oprah show. good luck:-)
 
Thank you for sharing! Here's to many more 'happy pc anniversarries'!
 
I'd highlight the Deep Covered Baker and it's quick microwave uses because a lot of times these types of people would like to cook but are intimidated. However, they all use the microwave...so a homemade meal in the microwave doesn't seem too intimidating. Also, this works out good for you since this is a more expensive piece than can openers and microcookers, so it helps to raise your show totals and commission as well!
 
LOL. I didn't even notice the date on these posts untill about 1/2 way through! Glad it all worked out!
