I am not sure if you you are talking about the same stuff, but I would love to find the sticky stuff that peels off but is clear......like when you get a new CC, the rubbery stuff that holds it on to the paper.... If anyone knows where you can find this, please let me know!

Schel - I am so sorry that you have had so many problems with it!

The stuff I'm thinking about are called "Glue Dots". They are clear round little dots of stickiness. I had one incident where it looked like the husband of my host was going to knock it off the counter and since then have used the glue dots. Helps to stabilize the bowl. Unlike Gillian I do not tape it to the table though. For a fair or booth I can see how that would help further though.

I am doing the redneck packing method. Using a new looking flannel pillow case. It works well, b/c the extra mat'l on the inside of the bowl protects the base and I didn't have to buy anything extra or carry anything seperate. It has to make it in one trip or it doens't go.

It is a tight fit, but before I got my TTA tote, I used my flannel pajama bag that came with the PJ promotion from Victoria's Secret before Christmas!

I haven't had to transport it empty yet; I've brought an already made trifle to every show since I earned it!:eek:

Yes, must be the same thing!! Those are what I want.... where are they located in most stores? I have yet to see them....but of course our WalMart doesn't put items in logical places...
 
You'll most likely find them with the scrapbooking supplies.
 
I used my Trifle Bowl this weekend at a craft fair. Rather than just having a door prize drawing, we had a game. I filled the TB with Twixits, and we had people guess how many were in it. We didn't tell people how close they were, because we didn't want them telling others at the fair.

FYI- I dumped 7 packs of Twixits into it, for a total of 70 clips. We could have fit more, but I wanted them all jumbled up.
 
Great idea, Ann. I'll be doing a home-based business expo it December. I always do a door prize. I'll tuck this little tip away to use for that.
 
I ordered my 2nd one last week on a host special! I want one to decorate with and one to cook with. Plus, I do not have to plan around using it at home and being able to take it to a show at the same time.

LOVE IT!!!

Ann, I am doing a Bridal Shower Thursday night and had said I was going to this at it.

Anybody got anything creative to put in it? And me not have to spend a lot of money! I keep trying to come up with something I already have but things like cotton balls and q-tips go with a baby shower but not bridal shower in my thinking.

Jennifer, how about hershey kisses? Say something like, guess how many kisses are in the trifle bowl, you never know it may be the same number of kisses exchanged between the bride and groom on their wedding night.. I'm not very creative, but if you are maybe a poem about kisses and brides or something to that effect.
 
I love my Trifle Bowl and have sold several, both as host bonuses and at full price. I love the Lime Berry Mousse Trifle as a demo recipe and this past weekend demo-ed the 7 Layer Southwestern Salad for Cinco de Mayo.

I definitely take care to wrap the base in one of my towels before putting it inside the bowl and then I use the TTA tote to transport it to and from shows. I have not had a problem so far!

I Love mine and I have never had a problem with it at all!!!! When I am at shows and I am not using it I have the microfiber towles displayed in them!
 
Hmm, I have 2 now....yep, I love 'em!
 
You can find Glue Dots near gift basket making supplies... I have gotte them at Wal Mart in the craft department and I think Michaels in the past.
