Thanks Ann! I just spent $78 there last week! I can't do it again! I also like the new banners!!! UGH!!
 
is anyone else having trouble getting to merrill's website? i tried last night and just now and it keeps telling me invalid user id or password... argh!
 
Thanks - I will peek but I'm pretty sure I used my monthly budget on spring samples already!!!! Too early in the month to try and reallocate other funds. :)But I can browse for next month! :)
 
P.S. Ann's link won't work, you'll have to log into CC first and then access the store from there.
 
Ohh Man! It's soo cute! I want the New one! I wish they kept it the same so I woulndn't be tempted to buy this one!LOL Love the polka dots ribbon! Mybe my old one will suddenly rip and then I can justify buying this one! Heehee
 
Sorry to hijack but I have a question. Several of you have mentioned wearing PC buttons on your clothing. Where are you getting them? I've looked on Merrill and there's nothing like that. TIA

There used to be some available through the Director store, but not any more.
 
Mine are from Nancy's when she had them - they are square. I may have 1-2 extra if someone really wants one.
 
Ok, thanks. :)

I really wish PC would get more than one vendor. Merrill has some nice things but they're kind of overpriced and there's not that big a selection. Especially on stickers and things like that. They're just boring, I think. Not at all creative.

Did anyone notice the personalized pens on there now? Whew, I'll stick to my cheapies! :eek:
 
Marisa - have you been to Sticking to Business or The Booster for stickers? They've got great ones! (Sticking to business is my fave!)
 
I like this one better, but I have the other one and I just don't want to spend the money yet. The polka dots are so cute!
 
I love the tote but a little disappointed. I emailed Merrill to ask if there was any pockets or any closer on the bag (like the catalog tote). They said no. I take it that it's basically a bucket tote. I really want to get one but don't know what I would do with it without any other pockets or anything.
 
Thanks, Linda! I haven't but I'll check them out now. ;)

No pockets on the inside either? I hope the quality is as good as VIPs so when Mine does finally wear out I can get this new one!:love:
 
I really like the Ribbon Tote I have. Not a fan of the new one.

No extra pockets, just like a bucket bag with handles. I was going to get it but now I'm not for sure!
