Since I've never transferred over my stuff from PP on my other laptop, and I'm too lazy to go downstairs, turn it on and run the report - here is mine from P3 - but it is only from Sept-Dec.

*Seasons Best - 57
*Mini Serving Spatula - 43
Deep Covered Baker - 36
Sweet Caramel Sprinkles - 28
29 Minutes To Dinner - 27
*Decorator Bottle Set - 26
Sweet Cinnamon Sprinkles - 24
Mix n Masher - 22
*Bamboo Spoon Set - 22
*Bamboo Specialty Set - 21
*Ice Cream Scoop - 20

The "*" in front of the product is to signify the products that I never talk about, or only mention is passing.

Wow DCB is number 3, go Becky.

I'm extremely passionate about the 30 Minute Chicken!:chef:
 
I'm very surprised with my top 5.
Mini Serving Spat (total of old and new design) 47
SBRC 35 (it would be number 1 if spring summer counted)
Mix N Chop 29
Citrus Peeler (seriously) 26
Food Chopper 18

I talk about the SBRC because I give it away to the host, and I sometimes use the chopper. I give the citrus peeler away as a door prize or to people who bring friends. I don't talk about the mini serving spatula or the Mix N Chop
