Playing Catch-Up

A Bit About Me

Well, I finally "broke my chain" after 36 consecutive weekly entries.  I took some much needed time off to spend with family and friends.  I must say, although it was a conscious decision not to compose and schedule last weeks post, I did feel somewhat guilty!  I had so much to do and something had to give.  Planning and emailing about classes and team meeting took priority.

"G" is for Gratitude -

Welcome to August!  Have you registered for Convention 2012 yet?!  If not, hop on over to the CTMH website, click on "events" and DO IT NOW :o)  Our color group is Lonestar Lagoon with Sunny Yellow as our back-up color.  If those dates or budget isn't for you, consider attending one of the other CTMH Leadershare and Regional Celebration events happening around the country and in Canada in the coming months.  Attending a CTMH training event is the best investment you can make in your business and a whole lot of fun too!

"E" is for Events - Retiring list - Convention 2012

This week, I have spent getting up to speed with the up coming specials, changes in pricing and packaging as well as playing with the new Cricut cartridge!  One thing I learned is that the booklet that comes with the cartridge is essential to using the new cartridge, so don't ever lose it!  After I got the hang of how to access all 700 images, it has been super fun!  I have been cutting up a storm.  I love the new 3D flowers and boxes we can now make in so many sizes at the touch of a button or turn of the dial.  If you have trouble figuring it out, give me a call and I'll talk you through it.  My favorite glue to use with the 3D flowers is the Alene's Fast Grab Tacky Glue in the purple bottle.

Convention 2011 - B is for "Balance" and "Being"

Wow!!!! That's all I can say.  Somehow after 20 years, Convention gets better every year.  The highlight was the announcement that CTMH has partnered with Provo Craft to bring us our very own Cricut cartridge!  I was honored that Karen and I were the ones to help with the announcement via a skit segment.  I got to make a wish for some sort of cutting system and Jeanette granted my wish!  I can hardly wait for it to arrive so I can start creating!  I'd love to have you share your creations as well.  Email me photos with the details of how you did it and I'll put them up.

Keys to Success with your CTMH Business and ***IMPORTANT***Convention Team Reception update

I'm at convention this week - if you aren't here with us, be sure to check the daily updates on the CTMH website and share the excitement of new products and programs!

I found this article and it really spoke to me.  In a nutshell, the article spells out how to succeed!  Each word is a gem.  We have heard and read most of this before, but something about the simplicity of each message I found compelling.  I hope you find it as inspiring as I have.
