Of course you can....:D
 
I'm still using them.
 
Sure! I don't see why not!
 
I'm still using mine - I have a dozen or so - too many to throw away and they are pretty much just for the hosts to use anyway - same info. I did order a pack of the new ones tho for when the old ones run out!
 
I have NEVER used them before...However I did finally use one for my show coming up in March. Hopefully they will help. :o)
 
I use them since all of mine have been free...but when I run out, I'm not going to include them in my host packets. No one uses them! I host coach and tell them to fill it out and to have it handy at their show, and not one host has done it!

Ditto!!! Not one person has used them - even with host coaching...
 
I'm still using them and I still have a package of F/W Pampered Partner receipts that I'm going to finish. I don't think there are major changes.
