Lovely Day To Scrapbook...

January 19th,
     It's one of those days when the wind is blowing, the snow is falling and the temperature will freeze you stiff.  The only good thing about these kind of days... free time for scrapbooking!
     I have been busy looking for ideas to start planning my upcoming clubs.  The feedback has been great and I look forward to our first meeting night.  I expect to have the Clearly Stamped Croppers Club, up and running for March.  I will be releasing details soon, so watch here for an update and keep an eye on your e-mail inbox too.
     If you haven't yet... please complete this survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/9RR287B

     I will be placing an order on January 29th.  If you have anything you need refilled, or other supplies you are in need of, please simply e-mail me your order and I will gladly add it into the order going in.  This is a great way to get a few items or a small order without paying extra shipping.

     There are DISCOUNTED ITEMS online!  If you would like to order from that list, comment below or e-mail me and I will send you a link to get you started on your order.  These items are "While Supplies Last" and discounts range from 12% - 80% Off!
     When you order online, it will be shipping directly to you, shipping prices are the same as in-person orders now.  So orders will be charged 10% or $10 whichever is higher.  So although this is better than it used to be, it may be to your advantage to "Buddy-Up" and make one larger order of discounted items to get the most product for your money!

     Well, that's all I have for you today... I am off to scrapbook, create and relax!

Happy Scrappin'

Day Three

January 16th,
    Monday morning, I missed posting yesterday... the weekend was busy as usual.  Thanks goes out to Charlene M, for hosting an Epicure Party in her home on Saturday... I can' wait to get my order.  As for Sunday, the usual house cleaning, Laundry and grocery shopping. 
    I spent the evening working together with Joni on a new project that we plan to use for upcoming workshops and club events.  It very cool and I will be posting a picture of it once it is completed.  Speaking of pictures when I figure out how I hope to have a slide show of images here on my blog, you will be able to reference for ideas.  If you see anything you want more information about, maybe a recipe or schedule a workshop where I will walk you and some guests through the project just shoot me an e-mail either directly from this blog or from your e-mailbox.
     Today marks the first day of my new online courses, I am taking Biological & Psychosocial Aging and Cognitive Impairment Programming.  Both will prove to be a challenge and have me working hard throughout the next 12 weeks.  Putting me 2 courses closer to completing the program, which will consist of my finishing just 2 more courses then Field-work.
     Well that brings you all up to date with my life, I will continue looking through the survey results for your input into the creation of my new Workshop/Cropping Clubs.  I have had a great response so far, but will keep it open until the end of the month, if you have not had a chance to complete it please do.  Just click on this link:   http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/9RR287B

My First Blog Post!

January 13th,
     Already, 13 days into the New Year, my time flies!  I hope everyone had a Great holiday season, Happy New Year to everyone!
     So just like you I made some new years resolutions, but this year I made sure that I was reasonable.  I didn't choose to change myself... though a few pounds lighter wouldn't hurt.  lol 
     This year I choose more personal goals, I expect to "Spend Alot More Time Scrapbooking", "More Time Soaking in the Bath-Tub... with the Door Locked", and "More Time Living Life to the Fullest!"  This means you can expect more out of me too!   I have an exciting list of goals set for my business too.  Holding monthly Clubs, where you can take part in classes, demonstrations, cropping, discounted products, special sales, and FREE product!  Infact this is something I need your help doing, I need your input.  If you would take just 3 minutes to fill out this survey... I would greatly appreciate it!  It will help me to decide what kind of Club is right for my friends and fellow scrappers.


     Last but not least for today, I have some exciting news!  I have been selling Close To My Heart for over 5 years now!  I have grown my team too, I am please to have both Joni Dufour and Susan Zammit as my two sidekicks, as well as my good friend Crystal O'Gorman who is unofficially always promoting Close To My Hearts products... just because she LOVES IT!  lol

     I hope you enjoy this blog, it will take me some time to learn how to use it and get all the lovely things I want to post up here, but do check back often.  Add it to your favorites and share it on Facebook, (theres a button below where you can do that too!).
