Potty training

How on earth did you ladies get your little girl interested in potty training?! Mine follows me to the bathroom ALWAYS and she asks questions. I got her a minnie mouse potty chair that says "hip hip hooray!!" when you "flush it." I've got her a tote full of little toys as rewards... she has seen the tote and has been told those are toys for when she uses the big girl potty like mommy... my dilemma is she absolutely does NOT want to do it. I can get her diaper off and put her on the potty chair and she will sit there for a minute then says she's done and whines/cries if I try encouraging her to keep trying. I don't want to force her to sit there until she does something because I feel that will make a negative impact and make potty training even harder, I don't want her scared of going to the potty chair. What were the ways that absolutely worked for you? Is she just not ready? She is 2, will be 3 in December.
