Just got the 2011 planner today. It is soooo much better! It still has the weekly view but it is in portrait view instead of landscape. It also has the monthly view in the back so we can see the whole picture.

Definitely using this one!
 
Cool! Can't wait to see it.
 
Oh, NOW I'm REALLY Excited to see it! I love the full monthly view and portrait view!! Yay....guess I won't need to use the one I already bought! lol
 
Thank you for the update. It looks so unprofessional when I pull out a photocopy of January, 2011. Can't wait to see it
 
Can someone post a photo what it looks like? thanks
 
Did it come via USPS or FedEx? Thanks, just wondering.
 
They usually just come in the mail I think.
 
DARN....mine didn't come today ;( :cry:
 
Mine didn't either :(
 
just got mine really cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Mine came via USPS today. Very nice!
 
Oh I hope mine gets here tomorrow! Otherwise it will be Friday or Saturday!
 
I'm trying to upload pictures, but getting error messages. Will try again shortly.
 
I got mine Wednesday. I like it.
 
I'm just preparing myself for it to be shoved into my mailbox and hoping that it doesn't get ruined again!
 
Mine was shoved, and my mailbox is PO Box sized, so it's VERY banged up. I never knew we get one of these though... it's a neat idea, just wish it was packed differently, with a DO NOT BEND warning on the packaging. I thought maybe it was my apron, so I'm surprised to see what it is!
 
November 26 and I am still waiting!
 
Mine came today! :D I didn't get a 2010 to compare it to, so I have no feedback on it, but looks pretty nifty to me!
 
this will be so much better than last year's
 
It suits my style much better than last year. Though, I'd already purchased a planner that I like even better.
 
ARGH!!
I was waiting for mine to arrive before deciding what to do but then one of my teammates got hers and sent me pics of the new layout. I am going to do like last year and print my own off CC and have it bound at Staples. BUT - I was digging around CC and found last years: https://www.pamperedchef.com/repsonly/images/cc/us/pdf/plannercalendar.pdfThen I dug some more and found the 2011 version...AND ACCIDENTALLY CLOSED OUT THE PAGE AN DNOW CAN'T FIND IT AGAIN!!! HELP??????????

This is why I love this forum - this was never even a thought that drifted - or flashed - through my mind. This way I can print it the size that I want to print it and I will actually just add it to the planner that I already use (I'll only print the by month view) and have all the actual Pampered Chef information on those pages to look at. Thank you, thank you!
 
Does anyone know if the 2011 planner (weekly) is up on the downloadables yet? Or did I just THINK I saw it??
 
I don't really care for this years style, and I didn't care for last (but got used to it) lol. I will either use the monthlys at the end or I have another I bought with a day runner that I like better! ;)
 
I like my google calendar, wish I could print it out at shows....lol...I am not great at having to enter stuff in both paper and electronic...still haven't gotten the new one
 
I agree, Marghi. I use my Google calendar which syncs with my Droid and that's how I schedule my life...too bad it doesn't copy everywhere!

Anyone know?
 
Still haven't gotten it yet.

Doesn't appear to be- at least not through normal channels. I searched for Planner Calendar and only found the current 2010 version....which if they would print THAT one, it would be great.

I haven't gotten my 2011 one yet.
