Yeah good questions!That was a good one Danielle, I'm sure they can list plenty of items that need to be replaced!!
How about these?
If money were no object and you could purchase 3 things in the catalog today, what would they be?
Wait for response
Let me tell you how you can get those for FREE, half price and or at a 30% discount. Turn to page 47 in your catalogs....
If you worked according to YOUR schedule, not your bosses, what would you do with your extra time?
Wait for response.
I use to work a stressful office job, where I was always buying take out, thinking about deadlines and leaving my children at daycares. With my extra time now I am able to home school my kids, raise my toddler and my 6 month old according to MY faith, beliefs and morals. I can spend extra time with my husband without thinking about work! I enjoy life more thanks to the Pampered Chef!
I love PC!!
