Just a little THANK YOU to my customers . . . and a request for "good luck" vibes!

This week something amazing happened to me. I was about $500 short of having a $4000 sales month, which is a big milestone for a CTMH consultant. I REALLY wanted to make it - just once - so I sent out an e-mail to my scrapping friends for a request for help with a little incentive deal for them. I needed $500 in sales and got - get this - $1900 in orders in just 48 hours! How great are my girls?!?!?! (And Jim!)

Now the extra $1400 in orders does not, of course, go to waste. I'm trying to earn a cruise this year and these extra sales go a long way to helping me. So, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart to all of you who answered my call for help this week :)

Finally, I'm looking for a little luck! Today I'm sending out a teaching proposal in hopes that I'll be chosen to teach a class at CTMH's convention this July. Only 32 consultants will be choosen so I need a lot of luck in my corner. If you can send some my way, I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks again, everyone!!!!!

And so it begins . . .

It was inevitable that I would start a blog. I've known it for many months. And yet I held off hoping that the desire would be squashed and I'd have avoided one more tempting time waster. But when you're a business gal like me you've got to put yourself out there and share what you've got . . . and hope someone likes what you have to offer.

This blog is meant to mostly chronicle my work as a Close to My Heart consultant. To show and share my artwork, classes, and services. To admit to you all that I'm stepping out of my box and working to earn a cruise for my work this year . . . and hope you'll all keep me accountable. It's going to be a long, hard road and I'll need the encouragement! Along the way I hope to make many new friends and perhaps inspire a few scrappers, cardmakers, and paper crafters. And here's to hoping I don't talk your ear off along the way. I hope you enjoy my blog!
