How's everyone doing???
Did most of your hosts this month take a cookware set?

[cmdtrgd]

I just submitted a show today - neither the host nor the past host wanted the cookware!!! I did have another host who got a set and then added the 8" saute pan. I also had a catalog host get the 10" Stainless.

I have received the 12" Covered Stainless and am working on getting the rest of the Stainless because I have all the Executive.

Just about every host and past host chose cookware!! WOO HOO! I'll have all the SS by mid-October! ...then I'll start working on getting pieces to use as incentives for the team or hosts.

[legacypc46]

My hosts are all going for the cookware too...including one who went ahead and got every piece of the SS:). I've redeemed points for the 5/7pc SS, the 12" SS, the Exec 12" and Stir-Fry. I love the idea of using pieces as incentives, Beth.

Just about every host and past host has chosen to take cookware - two hosts have taken entire sets! So far I have gotten the 12" covered SS skillet...I have not yet decided what to get with the rest f my points. I am hoping I can get my dad to install my hanging pot-rack before the end of Pan O Rama...so that I can order my stuff and not have to worry about fitting anything more into my cabinets!! LOL

I have a host with a catalog show for September still out there. She e-mailed me today and said that the past host wants the 7 exec and the 8" Saute pan. The host also wants the 7 piece exec, PLUS she wants to get the 12 piece exec set for her son at 1/2 off because he was recently divorced and has nothing for his kitchen. Her catalog show is already over $600 with the past host order (just under $500 commissionable).

I am so excited!! :party: Not about the divorce of course, but more free cookware for me!!

I just had a recruit qualify so I got 500 extra points. I've earned over 4000 points. So far I redeemed for:
--12" SS covered skillet
--exec grill pan
--exec 12 qt stock pot
--exec square griddle

I may save up my points for the exec 5 pc (I got the 7 pc last pan o rama). Or just stock up on some 8" saute pans for incentives. We'll see....

[finley1991]

Not sure how many more points I will get...

So far I've redeemed for the SS 12" Covered, Exec Stir-Fry Skillet and Exec 12-Qt Stockpot.

[ShanaSmith]

boy, I did much better at this the last time they did it. I think I only have about 2500 points and it's mostly from recruiting and conf. Not that I actually NEED any more cookware

What kind did you get. I REALLY want one but my wall space is non-existant and there's one place I can put it from the ceiling but DH is Mr. Unhandy.

Would yo ubelieve I got this pot rack at a garage sale for $5????
The lady was selling the farm! She had stunning furniture and clothing and accessories and all sorts of gorgeous stuff - she was unloading all of it for pennies.

Anyway - I finally got my step-dad to hang it up and it looks great. I just need to have DH paint the support beams so they blend in with the ceiling. Here's my step-dad just tightening it all up:

Meanwhile I got another 3000 in POR points so I need to figure out what all I am going to choose - I have just about everything Exec that I could want or need and I have everything SS that I want.

Here it is with the pots hanging on it:

So just two boards nailed into the ceiling will hold all the pots??? Please be specific.

Oh gosh - I have no clue. My step-dad did it. I know he used a stud-finder and he secured the boards with bolts and then bolted the chains to the board...he used to be a general contracter before he retired so i know he did it securely - I just have no clue about the details of how it works.

[dannyzmom]

...but the boards really look awful. I need to get DH to paint them.

[legacypc46]

That's a beautiful pot rack Carolyn...and for $5!? Woo-hoo!
