I also got the reject letter :p but am hoping for ziploc on in Feb.

Can't really complain as I got picked for others so I'm hoping for awesome shows this weekend.

Anyone who won the Cream Cheese one.....are you keeping the Silver Box or recipes, or giving to Hostess?? Using as Door Prize?? I want to know what others are doing. I haven't opened it up yet.

Thanks,

Lisa

I don't do these parties with my PC parties, so I will keep it for myself. It's got some great recipes that I might use for my PC parties though!
 
I got picked for the cookie swap too!! Invites are out and I can't wait!! I'm doing mine closer to the holiday...I'm double booked for PC on the 6th. I have a PTO vendor fair and a show that night. Good luck and have fun!
 
I got my reject letter today too. But I got the Alpine Lace one so I am happy about that!! I can't wait to try some of the Cosmo recipes.
 
I also received my rejection letter yesterday. However, I am doing the X-Box one on the 22nd. :)
 
Didn't apply for this one but did get selected for the green works and alpine lace - I am hoping for the ziploc and secret life as well - it will be party central at my house!
 
I want to apply for the Ziploc one. I don't care so much about the Secret Life.
 
I applied for the Secret Life and will apply for Ziploc as soon as we can. Why is it that some you can apply right away, and some you have to wait?
