[MORFIA]

[pamperedlinda]

Sorry- I had a margarita. Colleen had a glass of wine, though.

Well, I do like a good margarita, just can't handle the shooters (I make really bad decisions when I do that) looks like Colleen speaks my language though.

 

[momoftwins]

Back row: Meg, (Karen? Kathy? I'm sorry - it's slipped my mind), Kris (Leggy!), me
Front row: Amanda, Morfia, Katie, Colleen, Alison

There were more of us, but a bunch went to a different area to sit, and some others went to find dinner someplace else.

ok - what are the screen names???? I know I am asking a lot. Sorry!

 

[Chozengirl]

I have been off for about a month, and *KNEW* I could come here and get a Leadership fix
I wanted to go this year, but financial issues is hurting us here in California

 

[pamperedposey]

Hey! Meet n greet!!

I apparently forgot to set my camera to red eye reduction, which is why we look like the demon cluster.

That's so funny that I could look at the picture and pick out which one was you since you did that posting about resembling your avatar!

 

[Chef Endora]

I can't wait to hear everything. Last year there were even pictures I think.

My director doesn't share until our cluster meeting next Wed. & I have school:cry:

 

[redsoxgirl]

I'm excited too!
I'll have to act surprised at our Cluster Meeting on Monday

 

[Chef Endora]

I tried acting surprised last year & I decided to keep my day job because I'll never win an Oscar.

Great picture you guys!

Yeah, screen names would be great too.

I'll take some pics in the product room and try to post them.

 

[Chef Endora]

I'll bet the experience at leadership & conference is waaaay better when you get to meet friends from Chef Success. I haven't been yet and am hoping to go to conference this year.

Oh, BTW if info is being emailed, here's my address: [email protected]

THANKS YOU GUYS & HAVE FUN! :love:

 

[lockhartkitchen]

Okay, chefsuccess has been down all day. I'm here, it finally came back online and nothing. I want to see and hear about the new products. Post away gals!!

 

[chefallison53]

me too!I wonder if they took it offline to make sure nobody spilled the beans!

 

[whiteyteresa]

I wonder if they took it offline to make sure nobody spilled the beans!

I don't believe that Greg or Deb would do that to us

They would have told us that they would do that -

They take great care of us and they always tell us what we can and cannot talk about

This site will no down - once in a while.

[Cindycooks]

WOW - Im so excited so far! I love the grilling basket and Im excited over the metal cookie sheets - Id never use them for baking but there are times when I need one - such as cooking a frozen pie - they always call for baking the pie on a metal sheet (to catch drips) and I threw out all of mine!

Love the HWC products! Cant wait to see the SA! And Open Stock Skillet - YAY!

 

[raebates]

Awesome! Thanks for all the pics. and info. I was saving up to convert all my dishes into SI pieces but we now have them in sets which will be a lot cheaper! I can't wait to get my free products.

 

[ChefBeckyD]

It sort of takes my breath away to look at that list, and to know for the first time I don't have to wonder what I'm going to get! (I earned level 4 this time!) but I wonder about some of the things - like if I will get a 10" skillet - and the cover for the shears....

I am so excited about the regular sized SA mugs!!! I'll be ordering extra of those. And the Dots Salad Plates! And I love the HWC stuff too.

Can't wait for more pics!

 

[angmillar]

Me too, Becky!! I earned level 4 this year, and I am SOOOO excited!!!

 

[StacieB]

[lacychef]

Wow....you all are the best! Thanks for the pictures!

The HWC caddy is the cutest! I love the little * looking things for between cookware and things!

I love the cookware protectors too! That's one of my fave new things:thumbup:

 

[MissChef]

Really quick I'm going to try to send a few pics! I really have to go, but here are HWC things. I'll try to get a few of my favs too. I couldn't tell if anyone already did this...

Thanks Cindy for the pictures!!!!

 

[MissChef]

Does anyone know yet what products were earned for the levels of sell a thon?

No not yet, you know that will be a question we are asking our contacts today!!!!
I REALLY WANT TO SEE THE NEW COLLANDER AND BOWL SET!!! I hope I earned it!!

 

[ragschef]

WOW! Thanks for the pics and the news!! can't wait to check back later and see what else is posted. Especially the trip! I WILL EARN IT THIS YEAR!!

 

[MissChef]

Me too, Becky!! I earned level 4 this year, and I am SOOOO excited!!!

Okay girls!! Rub it in!!! I wanted level 4 so bad!!!!!!!!!! But I didn't make it level 3 is still so much appreciated! I am excited that whatever I didn't learn, shouldn't be too much to buy though! And I am going to do my first mystery host/ spring kickoff show in 3-4 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow!! I'm excited!
And Becky! I can almost guarantee you will not get that skillet! They don't do that most of the time. I could be wrong! it's happened once or twice! ! But the only time I ever earned a big peice of cookware was when simple additions first came out and they weren't ready to be released to us yet and our director packages were not very big, so they sent us the double burner griddle too! Now that was fabulous! And yes we still got our SA, but it came about a month later!

 

[dns2202]

Awesome pics! Thanks!

 

[MissChef]

I think the picture that has the cookware protectors, which I'm SOOOO excited about, I can finally store my cookware without being stressed out!, anyway I think that picutre has the stainless steel cleaner bottles next to it!
I wonder if that stuff will help clean the carbon spots off of our Forged Cutlery? Oh that would be sooo sweet if it did~!

 

[janetupnorth]

Latex gloves...:cry: ...won't be going near me!

 

[mommylove_07]

Wow! I think I love everything new. I really want the sheet pans and the cookware protectors.

I think I might need to get the dinnerware set also even though I got some new for my bday.

 

[kisrae]

Thanks For The Pic!!!!
