This one has a "buy it now" for 39.99.
 
They are not supposed to do that, are they?
 
No, but here you go Bexs50 - another chance!(Can you imagine the outrage if they tried to sell it here?)
 
You'd think that, especially if there is a lurker from HO on here, they'd know that people much prefer the cute aprons to the denim and would make them available occasionally.

I have been with PC for almost 5 years and in that time have collected at least 10 aprons. All have been in different promotions that PC has offered. Don't worry - you'll get a chance to earn an apron!

You must really love it! I just hope you don't stain the white. That's why I'm terrified to actually use it.
 
Actually white is a great color. You can bleach out any stains easier than other colors. My boys wore a lot of white when they were little and those shirts were the easiest to keep clean looking.

Not only that but with those clorox bleach pens you can get almost anything out of white. I have even used those things on a greenish white striped shirt that I had. Got the stains out of the white areas without screwing up the colored areas.

Love them! Those and the Tide to Go sticks.

Soo jealous that you won it! If I get one off ebay I was thinking of dying it lavender (since I love that color and it will be better than keeping white clean). I WANT a DOTS apron!!!

How much??Wow! Did you really buy it for 39.99???? I guess when you want something you want it! I would of sold you mine for $10...naa just joking! I don't sell the items that I earn from the Pampered Chef. It always amazes me to see items on Ebay such as Director's Gifts and I saw a chocolate bar on there once from the 25th Anniversary Executive Trip...amazing what some people will sell and buy!!:D :D

Glad you got what you wanted!!:D :D
 
I once saw someone selling their TPC ruby ring on ebay...
 
amazing isn't it???What else is amazing is the amount they are charging if we want to switch to the new ring!!! HOLY COW!!! I was thinking about changing because the new ring is much more my style. But then I saw just for my ring, no diamonds yet (going for TPC in 4 categories this year- personal sales, recruits, balanced business and promoting directors)...I would have to pay over $400....no thanks!! I will just keep my ring and have the one that you guys can't get!!! ha ha! :D
