Also waiting... I'm looking forward to using this in place of my catalog tote when I'm out and about. It's smaller and my catty tote is looking a little worse for wear.

I don't really think it is smaller, just softer and more giving than the catalog tote. But all those inside pockets are NICE!
 
Still waiting. But I am being patient, I promise! :) Saw several ladies at our cluster meeting the other night with theirs, and it was great to see them up close and personal. Makes me even more excited about getting mine (eventually!).

I love your avatar picture!

Thanks, that little boy is now 6 and his last day of kindergarten is tomorrow.
 
I got mine and LOVE it. You will love it too!
 
Janis were you on the wait list for it?
 
Yes Janis do tell! When did you get it? Like some others here I am hoping it comes before we leave on vacation.
 
It would be nice if they would offer something similiar in the future, even for purchase for those who did not qualify or those who were not with PC at the time of the incentive. I have seen the bags and think they are spectacular - awesome that they are in black (goes with everything unlike cranberry stripes) and doesn't show much dirt. Great space, organization (pockets) and soooo Vera Bradley. :)

*Very jealous for all who got one.* Congrats! For those waiting still....remember, The best things come to those who wait!
 
There is one on ebay for 29.99

If I had one, I sure would not be selling it! they are TOOO CUTE! And a lot bigger than the picture made it look.

Bummer, I did not qualify.
 
Why is it that someone works hard enough to earn the incentives and then turns around and sells them on eBay? I think this is so very tacky and they should lose their PC business. I figure it is the same person over and over with just changing their "name" on there. I am waiting on mine as well. I would like to have something different to carry as my catalog tote sometimes is very heavy for me to carry if I am having a bad pain day...
 
I am also on the "waiting list".

I hope it comes soon....
 
Maybe it is a guy who earned the tote and has it up for sale or maybe it is someone who needs money because a spouse is out of work. It maybe someone like my oldest daughter who would never be seen with pink...because her sister is over the top with pink.

Even so, we're not supposed to sell PC items/incentives on eBay, Craigslist, or other public online marketplaces.
 
I qualified too and I am still waiting. Is there a way to see the waiting list to find out where you are on it or a way to find out when it might be shipped?
 
I'm still waiting too.........I look every day on the porch. Not complaining though, just checking in to see if people are starting to receive them yet :)
 
still waiting, 2nd show was submitted the 13th not 15th and still waiting,
 
Me too..............waiting and wanting!

My 2nd show was submitted on the 11th & I'm still waiting.. Patience has never been a strong attribute that I possess. ;)
 
I'm still waiting on mine. I got the pack of HWC pins but I would really prefer the tote since that's what I was working so hard to qualify for. You'd think they would have enough in stock if they're going to use it as an incentive.
 
I got all excited yesterday because I received a padded envelope from PC. It turned out to be a backordered Pineapple Wedger. I was very disappointed. :( I guess I'll survive, though. ;)
 
I think my HWC tote came in a box, not an envelope. So keep an eye out for boxes. :)

LOL - I've had the same thing happen a couple times!
 
It would have been nice if they would have posted some kind of notice in the PC Newswire yesterday to let us know how close they are. Not knowing is the wrost, it's much easier to be patient if there is a timeline.
 
At our cluster meeting Monday night our AD asked if anyone received their tote yet and me and another gal didn't. We looked at each other like "how long is this going to take?". It is so sad when you work hard to achieve something and then have to wait for the reward. I am not a very patient person but I know they will eventually send them.
 
It's sooo hard to be patient! My catalog bag is looking really sad right now and I LOVE the pink on the bag! Every time I turn onto my street I'm looking for that box :-)
 
I as excited the other day when I got an email saying something as shipped. Then I realized it was a gift from DH work for his 10yr. I am pretty anxious to get my bag also.
 
Eagerly watching for my bag, but really want my Jan/Feb. promo---seriously it's mid-June now! Trying to be patient--but it is getting harder and harder every day.
 
I echo the idea that waiting is easier when you have a time line. Tell us something....anything, so my heart rate doesn't increase each time I see a FedEx truck in the neighborhood. My heart sinks when it just passes by!
 
I was excited to see the bag that we will receive at conference. I had not ordered the catalog bag yet and now I will wait since the conference bag looks like a catalog tote!
