A Day of Bonding

Yesterday was our annual Close To My Heart Consultant Stamp Camp and although we didn't get much stamping done, it is always so refreshing to be with a group of fellow scrapbookers with a common goal. Just back from the Leadership Convention, those who attended shared with the group all the exciting and wonderful new programs and events our Corporate office has in store for us (consultants as well as customers) in the coming year. You'll definitely want to be watching for the introduction of Studio J - a unique approach to creating digital layouts in an inexpensive and easy to use studio environment.

As I sat there yesterday, I reflected on why I became a consultant. The products are fabulous of course, the corporate office is always right behind us giving us all kinds of tools to make our business successful and there is that discount (22% off all products isn't a bad thing if you are a collector of supplies like I am).....but that's not it. Over the past 4 1/2 years I've met and become close to hundreds (well, maybe not close to hundreds) of people that would have just been another face in the crowd had I not joined. The early meet and greet of our meeting gave us an opportunity to reconnect old relationships and begin building new ones, laughing about some crazy happening at our last get together and checking up on each others families and life - this is why I became a consultant. Fresh from a divorce and sending my oldest child off to college, I really needed an avenue to build new friendships and memories, being a Close To My Heart Consultant has provided that for me.

So, having said all that - if you would like to be a member of the best team in the nation, get some really good products at a reduced rate or make money on the side - whatever your reason might be - click here, I can almost guarantee you it will be one of the best clicks of your mouse you have ever done!

Proud Mom

As promised here are a few photos from the hundreds we took yesterday....



Fran and I decided to decorate up Danyelle's cap so we could find her in the crowd....she kept telling everyone that I made her walk (which is the absolute truth) so we thought this would be perfect for the cap.

After the ceremony and much debate, we took some family photos. Here's Danyelle, with the Aunts (always debating) with Mom and Jess with the cousins and finally with Grandma and Grandpa.

Finally, we were off to go celebrate and eat - no photos here, cuz we were all waaayyy to hungry to be worrying about picture taken!!

A Day of Ceromonies

and celebration. We're off to Denton in just a few short hours to witness Danyelle, my oldest daughter, graduate from UNT!! It's been a rough 5 years, but worth every bit of it as I watch her grow and follow her dreams!

Of course, the scrapbooker in me is already planning photo opportunities for the pages and projects I have planned commemorating this great day.....stay tuned for pictures and updates!!

Re-visited

Yesterday while I was searching for something else in the crop room, I came across a pile of layouts I had created earlier in life, but never finished up with photos and bling. I quickly was side-tracked and soon created these two layouts with very little effort.
So, this week instead of a tutorial, I'm issuing a challenge. Dig thru your piles and stash of uncompleted projects, finish them up with whatever it takes, then share them here.

I'll do the same since I found a bunch of layouts I did at a monthly class I took, but never added pictures!

PS - notice the track marks on the Jurassic Park layout - they are created with staples!! Quick easy and pretty darn cute. To get a closer look at the photos give them a click and they will open in another window. (You may have already known this, but I just discovered it and was quite impressed)
