me three!! What I'll probably end up doing is get the PC cookware and then do an incentive for my team or do a customer incentive. I've done that before and had two hosts battling for 1st place. THey both had turned in over $3k in sales in 2006!

All of the items were selected to be part of the promotion over one year ago. Any type of technology drops a lot in that time frame. That is why the cameras, kitchen items and anything else electronic are not nearly as expensive as when they were first selected.

Vases, watches and other items like that seemed to have retained their monteary value more.

However, if you really wanted an item, that is where the real value comes in. If you are going to use it and enjoy it, it was GREAT to earn!

I used Pick Two, too . Got my MP3 player on Wednesday (listening to it now...it's awesome!) and ordered $150 PC dollars...have to do something to invest in the biz!

Ok I did the pick two, got the pc dollars and the coleman tent. Well a tent arrived today but it isn't the coleman one (eureka--aren't they a vacuum company) and it is smaller. The one online said 14x14 and this one is 8x8. when your husband is over 6 ft tall an 8x8 tent doesn't cut it. I called and left a message for someone at the incentives dept. Did anyone else get something different than what was online?

That's Weird!! Let us know what HO says.

I did get the right KitchenAid Blender and it ROCKS!!!! You'll have to come over and have a few drinks!

same thing here! I'm really bothered by that! I can understand sending a comparable product, but an 8x8 1 room tent does not compare to a 14x14 3-room. Summit told me that I could pick another item. I don't want anything else:grumpy:It took me forever to get to that decision. Now I wish that I could just get a Visa card to go by the tent myself!

Will you be home in March when we're there for Level 2? How far away is Palm Beach? Can the blender travel?!!

Um Yeah!! I already told Deb we should meet up!! I'm bummed of course that I didn't earn this trip (Deb and I met in San Fran on that incentive trip and went on the cruise together) but hopefully we can meet up when she's in visting her in laws!

Well I finally made a decision today and ordered the Cuisinart Bread Maker and the Jack George Venezia Handbag. The bread maker is for my husband the the handbag is for me. Okay, I get to eat the bread, but he really wanted a second machine. Our first machine is about 17 years old. The handbag just looks really nice and I look forward to carrying it around.

Sorry to read about the tent. I hope you can get it cleared up easily.

 

[Chef Kearns]

I thought I would be so into have a bread machine. I used it about 2 times and it was such a pain in the butt to clean I just haven't broken it out anymore. I've had it about 5 years!! Is that bad?

I will be honest with you, that is bad. My husband uses our current one about two to three times a week. He makes pizza dough with it, along with dough for bread and rolls. He prefers to take the dough out before baking and using the stoneware for cooking.

I recommend taking it out and looking for some recipes on line. You just need to fall in love with it!

 

[Chef Kearns]

LOL!! It is one of those things we just don't talk about at my house because I desparately wanted that thing!!

Well that means you need to sneak it out of the closet when he will be gone for a few hours. Have fresh baked rolls for him and tell him he only gets to eat them if he does not say a word about the machine.

I just got my handbag and it is absolutely beautiful. I would have never paid $180.00 for it, which makes it extra special.

They are a little pricey...i used to have a women and her sister who cleaned my house for $60!! She got pregnant and stopped and I miss her!
The initial clean was $144...which i had $ for from my "sprinkle" (a small baby shower for your 2nd child..my family likes to throw parties!) everyone knows how i hate to clean LOL so they gave me $ which i hadn't used yet...so i used that for the initial cleaning and i still haven't gotten my Gift Cards yet!! They are $95 for the remaining every 2 weeks...so i will use my GC for that...but they do base it on your house size and rooms, carpet vs. hardwood floors, etc...they come out and give you an estimate. I have all hardwood floors except for the 2 boys rooms which i think cost more to clean?

I am just going to enjoy it while i can!
