Went to a hostess's house last night to finish up her party. As soon as I stopped woman from across the street came running over.
She asked if my wife was the consultant. Told her that I was the consultant..(love the look on their faces over THAT!) She talked to me about 15 min. she asked for a catalog and wanted to book a show. She asked a few questions that made me think she wants more.. :)
I told her I would call her Thursday evening after she had a chance to pruse the catalog and work up a wish list.

Its the one from Merrill..
 
That's great news! I got one from Merrill at conference - just the one that says The Pampered Chef.

You will probably all think this is funny (or I'm an idiot), but it didn't come w/any instructions. I put it on my car and it stuck great - until it rained. Then it started bubbling up. I was going to take a picture of it before removing it from my car because I was going to call Merrill to complain! Well I couldn't take it anymore and went ahead and took it off - but it was just the clear film (LOL)! The window decal looks great! I tried removing it at first and the decal didn't stay. Oh well! Now I need to get some white car vinyl for my Cricut so I can add my phone number below. My cell number, I will not list my home number!
 
The decal from Merrill I got at conference wouldn't stick to my window of my car and so I called and they are suppose to be refunding my money. I have the large ones with my info on my car and those went on without a problem. The TPC one is a PAIN! No instructions, and didnt work.
 
I had difficulty getting mine on. I posted here in the winter time when I was trying to do it, cause it didn't come w/ instructions either (so it's not like they just forgot to give you that at conference.) :) I had to take a popsicle stick and rub super duper hard. It's funny, cause then someone here had to remind me....HELLO?!! why not try our pan scraper! :D Anyway, I did get it on finally. But it really was a pain. It has a few itty bitty bubbles in it too.

I never even thought of this! What a great idea. Gotta love the Cricut!
 
Newer consultant in Canada... no problems with ordering online, but I need to know how/where to get window decals! Think this type of advertising is a great idea; my tote has already gotten me interest and shows, but I think window decals are a fantastic idea. Any info would be great!
 
I have been going back and forth on whether or not I should get one ... I'm just worried that my car has to be washed and clean all the time!!! A friend of mine sells Cookie Lee and she has a magnetic business card holder on her van!!!!

I'm not sure if Merrill has the same products for you guys, but you can get a vinyl window decal of the logo through them. You can get just the logo, or you can get one with your name, phone number and web address on it.

I chose to get just the logo, and then get my phone number and web address from http://www.jerisigns.com.
