Is It Time to Refresh Your Pampered Chef Wardrobe?

[Sheila]

If I had known that my friend Amber was arriving in San Antonio 2 days ago on her military move, I'd have registered for that one! She left my house on Thursday and drove down to San Antonio. We could have done a caravan and I'd have had a sitter in San Antonio! LOLOh, well. Shawna, look for me! I'll have my Chef Success & Director Chef Success buttons on!

You will know all of the stuff in the first 90 minutes.....least we did.

We will be in Toledo with 20 team members. 4 of us are going on Friday to enjoy a girls evening. Hope to see alot of you there. Malinda - where are you staying? we are staying at the Holiday Inn Express in Oregon OH - 4 miles from the conference center (according to Mapquest)..LOLOLOL

We are definately coming in the night before. Should get there at 4 and then we are going out to eat and then its out on the town. I found two bands playing, one acoustic rock and one bluegrass... Told the girls whatever they want to do...so excited and we are staying at the conference hotel

Spring Launch was a lot of fun

 

[pampered1224]

Oh for Pete's sake - just shove the bamboo sticks under my finger nails a little further! You people are gonna make me wanna move in down there before Saturday! I do not think the Milwaukee Police would be all that crazy about a crazed PC consultant camping out at the Frontier Center all week just because of some new stuff! (In fact, I bet that Sinai's 5th floor would be my final destination!) ONE MORE WEEK!!!!!

Yes sir, that'll be $7.50 plus shipping, tax, and a small ambulance fee (straight jacket optional) for conveyance to Sinai.

[chellb1234]

OK...i know its driving all of you guys nuts to know everything that all of us got to learn, but just think how we feel...we can't talk about it at all!!!
we have all this knowledge and exciting news, and we have to keep it in..it really does suck

Been there too girl! Love getting it far enough in advance that I can share with the overseas consultants though ... so that kind of helps offset the inability to talk about it!

 

[Veevahchef]

I am in Canada and went to the launch yesterday. it was great and the "big" announcement was definately exciting! Just wish it would all start right now!

 

[chefheidi2003]

In Charlotte! All I can say is OMG!!!

I am with Beth on the OMG part. I can honestly say that this is why I like to go to the second one. yes you have longer anticipation..but..I want to burst..LOL. I was in Baltimore yesterday.

Can we get a discontinued list, or is that a No-No also?

 

[Sheila]

If you do, please get it in a private message so the ones who don't want a spoiler don't get upset.

And you're so excited you couldn't sleep?

BTW, if you were in Baltimore, make sure you read today's Update thread. The last entry is appropriate!

 

[pamperedlinda]

They did not give us one yet. For now we'd have to go thru the catalog and compare items.

 

[[email protected]]

Okay. If anyone comes up with one, I'd be very grateful if I could have it! [email protected]. Even if you find one item, I'd like to hear what it is..
thanks so much!

 

[BethCooks4U]

Things you could already guess are going away: taupe stones, holiday items, cookbook for a cause. Some gift sets are dropped. There's one other thing I think we could share but otherwise the rest I think should be left unsaid until after your launch.

 

[Intrepid_Chef]

Ill be in Toledo with 5 of my consultants on my team, crammed into one room lol

My plan is to see a dear friend who lives 10 minutes from the place ... I haven't seen her since her wedding ... I was there when she met her husband and now they have 5 kids under the age of 5.

But I am struggling with a cold and cannot get her and her kiddos sick! So if I am still coughing, I will probably just hit the road at 5 a.m.! I will be seriously bummed if this is the case! She is the reason I wanted to go to Toledo!

 

[wcsis]

Portland is where I'll be next Saturday, and I can definately say can hardly wait after sitting and reading all the posts in this forum.

 

[frozenchef]

Yep, they told us to post the canned message "I'm at launch right now, like this is you like new problems", etc.
I'm mostly being good about not spilling the beans, but my mom who watched the kids for me yesterday got to hear the news cause I just had to share with someone and she said I owed her

 

[pampered1224]

KG - Send a set - I will insert them myself!!! Ugh! You guys are gonna drive us nuts! Although - someone else said - you can't share with us and that too has to be a killer!!! I already put my family on notice. I have a confirmation for my niece on the 5th at 9:30 a.m.! I know I can make through the service as I do not want to embarrass myself nor my niece. But I may have to bring catalogs in as I used to belong to that church and know a lot of members I HAVE NEVER TALKED TO ABOUT MY BUSINESS!!!! Coffee hour is looking good! (Yes opportunistic on a special day so maybe I should hold off??!!) Need a subtle piece of logo wear I guess as I know they do not do formal there. Gotta think on that. Plus, I better ask my mom, yes, I May be 50 but I still have to answer to her!

 

[Sheila]

A PC pin on your shirt? I have several up the front strap of my sling bag & get comments on them fairly often to help open up the conversation!

Do you have a nice logo polo or jacket? Or how about a binder or portfolio that you can carry with the logo on it? Subtle but not silent! Be sure to have business cards and while casually conversing work PC in the conversation. If there's a place that would be appropriate leave a bunch of your cards out for people to grab.

 

[pampered1224]

I do have some polo shirts but they are so old and look it. I have not purchased any new ones since Merrills quality went down. In fact, these old shirts - about 9 years old, out lasted every one I have purchased since. I am thinking maybe I need to grab a new logo from CC and go get some of those iron transfers like one lady did. Then maybe grab a shirt of mine that is in good condition. With money being scarce, new is out of the question. I do not have any pins that I am aware of. I used all of the ones I have ever gotten and eventually lost them! (That clippy thing would fall off and then the pin would drop off!) Even my Chef Success pin broke! I used it so much that the pointy part broke off from bending it so much! And yep, mom did pipe in but said coffee hour would be fine. She said that if I could get around to it, advertise. But do not be a pusher! She too said she would help if she could. COOL! I'll come up with something. Business cards I can do I have plenty. I just have to remember to put them in my wallet as I simply can not remember to put them in and carry them. Thanks for the ideas!
