Welcome | Jessica H!

I wanted to take a moment to welcome my newest downline:  Jessica H!  …I did a home gathering for Jessica and her friends at the beginning of December.  We played a couple games and had a great time learning about the Close To My Heart product line.  It was fun watching them get so excited when they found out that our awesome paper is just $9.95 and fabulous quality!  …Jessica decided that she really liked what she saw at the party and thought that the compensation plan was awesome so she decided to join my team and is currently working on getting her first card clubs together.  So exciting!  One cute thing that Jessica shared with me was that when her kit arrived it was like Christmas morning (just like I told her it would be!) and she literally took everything out of the box one item at a time and took pictures to send to her friends!  Talk about generating excitement!  LOL  Love it!!

I’m so excited to have you on my team Jessica!  Looking forward to getting to know you more, too.

One Little Word | Here’s to new Beginnings…

“It’s all about new beginnings, laying solid foundations and building strong relationships. Everything we want is in front of us.”
- Amy Mayhew, Friend & CTMH Sr. Executive Manager

Last year, instead of making a traditional New Years resolution, I decided to join Ali Edwards of Big Picture Classes in choosing 1 single word (“purposeful”) to focus on for an entire year.  While I didn’t complete all of the exercises in the class, nor did I scrapbook about it like I had intended, I did have the word engraved on a necklace that I wore around my neck to help keep me reminded of my growth.

This year, I have decided to move forward with the same tradition by choosing a new word to focus on.  My new word is… “Beginnings” – a beginning toward my brand new life, a beginning toward new family traditions with my girls, and a new beginning within my Close To My Heart business.

I have new goals sitting on the horizon, such as:

• To quit my “day job” as soon as possible so that I can work Close To My Heart full time from my home once again.
• I will be back in the gym and back on Weight Watchers full force in order to take off my depression weight.
• I am hoping to open my heart back up to the idea of truly loving someone again (even though I’m very skeptical as to whether this can actually happen or if it’s just easier to buy 20 cats!  lol).
• I have my sights set on taking my girls with me on Cruise #7 with CTMH!  So far I’m on track and doing what I can to not let them down!
• I am starting school in a couple of weeks in order to get my degree in Web Design!

The desire for relationships has become so very important to me, as well, and I am looking forward to rekindling many friendships this year.  I hope this year will bring on new beginnings in your life as well.  It’s time for fresh starts and a new Idea Book filled with pretty new papers and new scrapbooking goodies starting February 1st!  *Yay!*

I wish you a wonderful and successful 2012!  I hope it will be all that you want it to be! 

I love Cupcakes | Thanks Tina!
