Who May Find This Useful

Consultants interested in product discussions and personal experiences related to the SA dots may find this thread insightful.

I LOVE the Animaniacs! I used to work at Leaps and Bounds (indoor hamster cage for kids) and it was bought out by Discovery Zone. They had different songs, so I was able to get the Animaniacs CD from the ones they were getting rid of. And then at college I knew one of the hosts on the local Fox afternoon cartoon show (inbetween the shows and commercials). So, when Animaniacs moved from Fox, they got rid of all their stuff. I was able to score the folder that was sent to all Fox stations to promote the show - you can't get it ANYWHERE! It has pop-ups and bios for all the characters!

I can't really speak for Ann but I will anyway...I think you're our new best friend! ;)

When I was sick and doing little more than laying in bed and being miserable, Pinky, Brain, Slappy, Hello Nurse and, of course, Yakko Wakko and Dot kept me laughing when there wasn't much to laugh about. There was a hystory show on then, too, but I didn't like that one as much.

Woohoo! I'll have to find that CD and burn it for you two!
 
I loved Dots as a kid - we used to eat a ton of these!

No wonder I don't have any teeth.
 
I left my Dots apron sitting on my chair after lunch on Day 2. :( I have emailed and emailed... hoping they will send me another one!! :( :( :(
 
Oh Laura...I hope they send you another one. Does anyone have a picture of the apron? I would love to see it...maybe I should check ebay...just kidding...LOL

I rarely wear our apron because it doesn't fit right. Waaaahhh...I am holding out for a waist apron with 3 pockets. I bought a black one and I am trying to decide if I want to put something on it. Dots would be cute.

As for SA...I love the white and the bugundy and white. I wasn't really crazy about the stripes, and I hated the tiles. I am witholding judgement on the dots until I see and hold a bowl.
 
Love love love the dots! Can't wait to get my hands on those Dots Coffee & More cups!

I also love my apron. I wore it at BRU on Saturday. I love the embroidery idea, Ann!
 
Here you go!

Dare I ask how an apron doesn't fit right? As you can see...<---------even a pink one fits me. The photo Marg put up is giving me an idea for an apron...
 
I love the dots and love the round shape! The stripes were okay, didn't like the squares too much, but love the dots. They are just FUN!
 
So we can't get the dot one if we didn't go to leadership?

When I saw the dots I just about wet my pants!!! I love dots!!!

I LOVE THE APRON!!! I was so busy chatting at lunch to notice what a nice gift we received. When I looked in my bag I saw a white apron - OK??

THEN - as we were leaving - I noticed that the "people herders" near our bus had a really cute apron with dots on it.... DUH!! and of course I had to shout
out, "I WANT ONE TOO!!!" - I was told to look in my bag:eek: I felt so stupid!!:o
 
I thought the whole thing would be dots... maybe I'll fake my own, LOL!
 
This sounds like a job for...Faster than a speeding artist's pen...More powerul than silk screen press...Able to leap shopping malls with a single web site...It's Yakko!No, it's Wakko!No, it's Dot!NO!!! It's SUPER CHEFFER!http://chefsuccess.com/customavatars/avatar9566_1.gif
 
I saw my directors apron and I fell in love with it! I wish that they would make them available for sale for us consultants. It's still special for the people at leadership because they got it for free!

And her trusty sidekick...Bob "The ink's not dry yet..." Jones!! LOL...:p
 
I saw the dot apron last night and it was ADORABLE!!! She wore it last night at our cluster meeting...my first one BTW and it was a hoot! It was white with the dots on the pockets of the apron-definitely adorable. I think JillySue would appreciate it because I'm so not an apron person either.

I like the dots. They're fun looking! I do like them better than the squares but I do like the fact that they're all still matching!!!
 
Me too!!

Me too!! I prefer dots to stripes and tiles!! That is just my preference.

Debbie :D
 
IMO...the dots and tiles are cute, but for me, I went with all white everything....I used them at Christmas with centerpieces, etc....and I wouldn't have been able to if I had the tiles or dots! I may get a set of small bowls in one of the patterns, but that is probably it!
 
That's why Simple Additions is so great! Everyone can find something they like, and all the pieces still go together, even the different patterns.I agree that the plain is a little more formal, but the dots mugs will be so cute and cheery for my morning coffee. And the shape reminds me of the mugs they used at Central Perk on Friends.
 
I don't care for the stripes or tiles. I probably won't buy any dots either. I'll just have the ones from the samples.

Are you bragging, Ann? :)

I love the apron, but I don't love that it's white! I'm terrified I'll ruin it...
