Hello all...

I was reading a post about lapboards and I really think these are neat, however, instead of the "homemade ones" everyone is talking about I would love to take a peek at what the Merrill ones look like, however, it looks like Canadian Consultants don't have the Merrill link from CC?

Does anybody know anything about this?

Thanks!
 
Last I looked, Town and Country still sell lapboards. They just don't have Pampered Chef printed on them. However, they were the same lapboards.

Canadian Consultants don't have access to Merrill's site via CC and if you try the link it tells you to go back to PC Intranet. Express Yourself does have some and the may be my answer, however, I am going to see if I can find a Canadian Supplier first. I will report back if I am successful!

Thanks

I ABSOLUTELY recomment these lapboards from Express yourself! That's where I got mine and you have a choice of three different colors. Red, Blue and Black. They were quick to ship too!!

Express Yourself Online has already gotten back to me and they will ship to Canada which is great. I think I am going to go ahead and start with 10 of them...I am looking forward to offering these to my guests.

Thanks
