!!!!!TEAM NEWSFLASH!!!!

Congratulations on being a part of our Striving and Thriving in 2014 Winning Team!

As the leader of the Connected Hearts, in recognition of outstanding team growth and to celebrate team member, Noreen Petty's promotion to Presidential Director, I am bringing my team celebration to the Hilton Hotel in Waco, TEXAS on Saturday, October 4th. The cost is just $20 for this all day event which will run from 10 am to 9:30 pm with lunch provided and a 2 hour dinner break on your own.
 

You will receive a fabulous Team celebration including Team training, recognition, creative projects, giveaways, treats, and a fantastic time together, hosted by me and Close To My Heart Vice President and COO, Brian Holman!. This will be an all day event packed with ideas and information to help you build a thriving CTMH business! The $20 event price includes lunch, giveaways and projects. There will also be a silent auction of exclusive CTMH branded items to benefit Operation Smile. More details to come including the agenda and what to bring.

So take advantage of the consultant preview period this month and get your orders in for all the wonderful new CTMH products. We are anticipating the event to sell out quickly so don't delay!

CREATIVE CORNER:
One of favorite things...there are so many to choose from, are our new alcohol markers by Shin Han.  http://www.shinhanart.com/  We were able to play with them during the creative session at Leadership Day.  Here are the cards we created.  I LOVE the vibrant colors and blendability.  Unlike our old markers, you can color the Clear Sparkles and customize other embellishments with these markers!  In the coming posts, I'll share many of my other favorites and how I'm sharing them with my customers.

These are the cards we created on Leadership Day at Convention.  Since we made 2 of each card I used both sides of the Confetti Wishes B&T - this is the bulk design.
