Bountiful Baking

I’m not much of a cook, but I sure like to bake. I think that’s because I have quite the sweet tooth. Some of my creations come out great, others – not so good. One time I tried to make low fat cupcakes with diet soda and added too much water and created a soggy mess. My specialty is baking cupcakes, but I want to venture into pie making. I see quite a few products that look like they will help me out – the Apple Corer and Peeler for instance and the Non Stick Oven Liner (this will save me oven cleaning time when fruit juices bubble over). If anyone has easy pie recipes to share, let me know. I can use all the assistance I can get!

Until next time… Ann

Rainy Day Organizing

Yesterday was one of those lazy rainy summer days. I could have just curled up with a good book, but I decided to be productive instead, and organize my kitchen with the new white wire organziers that I had purchased online.  It gave me a chance to throw out those cracked plastic dishes I’d been saving since my son was little (he’s 15 now), and wipe down all the cabinets and line them with new shelf paper. The best one by far, was the vertical lid holder. It really made of the most of my limited space. I may not have gotten to that book, but when I finally did sit down, the sense of satisfaction was as good as any surprise ending!

shipping to po box

As President of Home Trends Catalogs I felt compelled to explain our shipping methods to a PO Box address. Seems we get comments and complaints on a regular basis about how unfair it is that we discourage our PO Box customers from ordering. The truth is, we value all our customers, including the ones who have all their packages and mail delivered to a PO Box. The problem is that we have no way of tracking that package and that means we cannot provide the customer service you, our customer, have grown to respect and expect. As a compromise, we can send these packages as Priority Mail and can track them right to the customer’s door. Hope this helps clarify a frustrating situation.

To the Web

Like the other folks here, I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself.  I’m Kevin, and I’m helping make the internet shopping experience better for our customers.  So by all means, if have any comments or suggestions on either your experience shopping online with us, or if there’s something you want added to our sites, please let me know!

It’s important that we make our family of sites as user friendly as possible, and assure that you don’t have any frustrations or concerns while trying to make a purchase through us.

So I look forward to sharing more with you as we build out our internet stores to meet your needs, and I hope that you feel safe and satisfied in shopping with us on the web.

Thanks!

Did you know… with every Always-Free-Shipping order, we include discount dollars good for any future purchase? The discounts can be $1, $3 or $5 dollar coupons, depending on the size of your order, and they can be used at anytime.

Getting the Smoke Out

Oh my, it’s chilly this morning. I reached for my cotton sweater to wear to work, and the last time I wore it, I went to a party…. where some folks were actually smoking. Well, my sweater smelled of smoke!

I reached for a product someone had given me to test, called Dry Cleaners Secret, and tried it. All I had to do was put one of the Dry Cleaner sheets into the dryer, along with my smoky sweater, and let the dryer run for several minutes. Worked like a charm – and I’m wearing it now – smoke-free. I’ll be adding this product to our site in a few minutes – I highly recommend it!
