Did you all get a chance to see the Merrill Calendars for 2009? They sold out at the beginning of wave 2, but I ordered 100 of them this morning. It has a different PC recipe for each month, and a place for your biz card at the bottom. They are very well made, and the photo's are mounth-watering. I will be giving them out to hostesses, and as prizes, etc.
The price works out to about $1.30 a pice in bulk of 100
 
I bought them during Wave 3. They sold out as well.
Love them for Hostess gifts!!
 
They sold out wave 3 by the time I got there, but I am ordering from merrill, I love them, they are a great gift for past hosts and give aways :)
 
I'm going to send them to this year's top hosts, with their PHD expiration date marked. They'd also be a good team gift for the holidays, especially if you mark next year's meeting dates.
 
I just looked on Merrill but couldn't find them :confused:
 
Wow, those are alot bigger than I imagined! I thought they were like desk calanders! Nice! I wonder how much they will cost to mail?
 
they are under new products

I can't wait to see all the other items being on here.
 
Ahh, yes, thank you!! I swear I looked there, I just must be blind this morning! :D
 
How Great are these?! I want one in my kitchen too!!!
 
They r awesome! I bought some in Wave 1 before they sold out! I LOVE them. I think I'm going go give them to every host starting in October and eveyrone who attends my mystery host party in November!
 
How big are the calendars? purse size? wall size? Not on Merrill yet, or they have been removed. I did look under new products, also cant find the HWC jacket

thanks
 
Carol - try clearing your cookies. I saw them there earlier today. The calendars are bigger, like the kind you can buy with the babies on them (forget the name). I love 'em and def. want one (or more!).
 
they are the 'normal' wall size with pictures and recipes each month! Love them!!!

My clustermate bought a pack before they were gone in wave 2 and gave us each one!!

It wasn't on there when I just looked either, but then I went back and checked again and now it's there! BUT, it says they are on backorder until August 11th. :(
 
does anyone know if the help whip cancer jacket was a pullover and zipped up 1.2 way and said making strides on the back?
 
The calendars aren't with the new products. They're with the "by words" items.

Yes, the HWC pull over is a 1/2 zip. I got one at wave 2. It is very soft and comfy. It says Making Strides on the back, help whip cancer on the front left side and The Pampered Chef on the left sleeve.
 
Cool thanks Melissa I ordered me one. Did you find it hot at all ?
 
Super idea... Thanks!
