I'm excited that I now not only have one tote experience but two!!!
I took it to my eye doctor on Thursday. I had my daughter with me so I just threw my bag and purse down on the chair to get her settled. As soon as the dr looked at it shes like "oh my I love PC! let me know when your next show is I want to order". I just so happened to have a Pamper A Business folder with me so I gave that to her and we are turning it into a catalog show. The pretty amazing part of that is that I go to the eye dr in Sams Club! She was saying how she knows ppl in every dept and should have a nice size order!
Then on Friday I went to my chiropractor. She looks at my bag and says "i didn't know you sold PC". I was thinking that I've carried it in there before and I told her when I first started. So she's doing a catalog show too! And her receptionist wants to keep her posted when the trifle bowl goes on sale. Whoo! Maybe since she could get it for 60% off in May, she will have a show for me then!
2 definate and 1 possible show from this? Heck ya! I do throw my regular purse inside of it for those times that I don't want to lug around a big bag, but my motivation has really increased since Thursday!!!!
