Welcome New Team Members

Last week was an fun week with two new recruits and Care & Company's annual benefit dinner. Welcome Rita Cullen, the newest member to Corianna's group and Darleen Click, new member for Stacey! Rita and Darleen took advantage of the LE Hybrid kit and all the goodies that come with it. What smart ladies, glad to have you in my group!

Don't miss this great deal, contact me right way because time is running out!!!

Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful Moms out there! Today is your day to be pampered and spoiled so I hope your loved ones show you all the care you deserve. I'm on my way out to enjoy the day with family at my sister's house where we will probably eat too much while sitting pool side all day. I'm taking my notebook computer so I can get some digital scrapping done and hopefully be able to say I "scrapped" today. With the grandsons around I doubt I'll have time for any of that. They grow up way to fast to pass up the opportunity to play with them.
Happy Mother's Day!

This week I realized there were so many people that had not been told about the awesome recruitment promotion that Top Line Creations (TLC) is offering and time is running down. I spent most of my time sharing this incredible offer and doing my best to get the word out there. By Thursday I was rolling full steam ahead. After sharing the Limited Edition Hybrid kit information with some co-workers I had three sign up.

I signed two under my downline (DL) Stacey Devine and one under another DL, Corianna Okada-Rawe. Corianna now has three placing her in the running to promote this month to Adisor! Tuesday we may have more since three people overheard me talking about the kit and expressed an interest. Stacey will soon be right there with Corianna in the Advisor's corner!

Do I see Director in the horizon?

Welcome Olivia and Joanna!

Spending the day having a crop was a great way to celebrate National Scrapbook week. I was also happy to have two guests that were new to TLC, Joanna and Olivia. Well, after seeing TLC's super deal with the LE Hybrid kit, Joanna and Olivia could not resist. My downline Corianna had invited them to their first TLC crop and they loved all the old and new TLC products! As we were winding up, both Joanna and Olivia signed up with the LE Hybrid kit. Way to go Corianna! I'm happy to welcome both girls into the TLC family.

How many more can we introduce to TLC and welcome into such a great family? I know my three Creative Commotion sisters are rockin' n rollin' with this, are you? I can barely keep step, so let's keep this party going!

Easter Weekend

Today is Good Friday and I thought it was a good time to drop a note about this special season. Everyday should be a day we give thanks for all the blessings we have received each moment of our lives. Even for the blessings we have yet to realize, we don't always take the time to do so. There are always a few times a year that we can't help but be reminded to do so, one of those times being Easter.
I'd like to take this time to thank my TLC girlfriends that have helped me stay focused even when I'm derailed by "life" and seem to lose my way. Three have been especially special these past few months. Julie B., Julie F., and Kristie have been a blessing in my life that I truly give thanks for each day. Their friendship means more than even the enormous amount of help they consistantly offer. I wish everyone friendships like the ones I've been blessed with.
My family has always been there I do not take that for granted either. I hope all of you have the best Easter ever!

Can't Wait for the Weekend

Yes, I love my weekends. This is the week I get my darling grandsons. I'm hoping all will go as planned and we can bake a delicious chocolate cake in honor of my wonderful friend, Kristie! Although she is hundreds of miles away, we plan to bake, decorate and celebrate just for her.
I'm also looking forward to working on some paper scrapping and completing some simple layouts. My Creative Commotion partners have left me sitting in the dust, but then again that's what happens when you don't get moving yourself. I have a lot of catching up to do!
Julie (or Jules as we like to call her) is celebrating her son's graduation. It seems he worked extra hard to graduate early so he can start his basic training. I'm excited for his accomplishments, but I am concerned that he is going active duty. I guess that's just the "mom" in me, because mostly I'm proud of the path he chose. It's great that so many young adults still have the desire to serve our country even in non-peaceful times. Jules, I wish him the best!

March Madness

It seems like March has been a very hectic month for me. A lot of changes going on that have kept me distracted from my favorite hobby, scrapbooking. I'm determined to change that in these coming weeks.
I'm excited about the new line TLC has just introduced and I can't wait to post some of the projects I made using this new line. My fellow consultants, and partners in crime, have been gracious enough to share their creative ideas so what you will see is a result of their sharing. In the meantime, I hope you like some of the pages I've done using the existing line of TLC papers, and some of the discontinued line. Keep an eye out for some photos to be posted soon.

Winding down for the weekend to come!

It's my Friday, which means it's actually Thursday for me. I've had a busy week with lots to do both at home and at work. As a result, I wasn't able to post as often or get as many things done as I'd plan.
I've been thinking about where I'd like to be in eight years. That's when I hope to retire, yes, eight more years. I've thought about staying where I'm at currently in SoCal or moving to a less congested area. Unfortunately, I cannot think of any place in California that is not congested. So I started to think about other states. The problem with that is that my family is here.
I've enjoyed all the time, be it limited due to my job, that I get with my grandsons and the freedom to see my daughters at any given time. I can't help but wonder if I could adjust to not seeing them so regularly. That's not to say that I see them every week, sometimes it's only every other week, but I do see them. My sister lives within 10 miles and my parents are only a 30 minute drive from me. I have a close knit family so the thought of moving is very hard for me. We enjoy celebrating holidays, birthdays, and whatever else we feel like celebrating together.
So, there it is, where do I settle for retirement.

Well, I spent the day yesterday scrambling around trying to get things done but it seemed as though each time I tried to accomplish a task something went wrong. I had painters here working from 8:30 a.m. until almost 5:30, I had to run and get more paint, and then someone arrived early!!! All and all it was an exciting day filled with lots of little adventures, even if they weren't the type of adventures I'd choose.
It's funny on even the best laid plans can get derailed so easily. I missed an important meeting yesterday. I am part of a group called Care and Company. We do outreach to the Inland Empire in Southern California. It's a Christian ministry group and we are going to have a food bank and many other services available to those in need. If any of you have ideas on fundraising for this non-profit group please share them. We are always looking for something new.
