What a week!

Rain, rain, go away, come again another day! We have had so much rain, too bad it wasn't snow like some areas got. And of all times for our sump pump to go out! Yikes, can we say flooded basement? Luckily, I work part time and came down to the basement when I got home and immediately was on the phone to my hubby. Luckily, my scrapbooking room did not get any water in it! Who cares about the the XBox and Wii, save my scrapbooking supplies! But all was not lost because I got a wonderful new client from CTMH's consultant locator. Thanks corporate!

New Title - Sticky Girl Stamps

Ok, so I've changed from "paper crafting princess" to "sticky girl stamps". One of my students came up with the first name and as cute as the name is, I just never felt comfortable with it. So, at the CTMH regional convention, they were hiding these "sticky boy" stamps all over the hotel for you to find. I find a big one on the last day at the last minute almost. I was so excited! The story behind sticky boy was that he used to show up all them time because the theme was CTMH stamps are the stickiest. But I immediately started thinking why sticky boy and not sticky girl, being the girly girl that I am. So, I've invented "sticky girl" using my sticky boy stamp. Images to come very soon!

Check my website for upcoming workshops. They should be a lot of fun!

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

My favorite commercial is the Staple's commercial where the parents are going through the store buying school supplies and this song is playing. Well, it's that time of year again where all the kiddies (including myself) are going back to school. It's also that time of year for the new Close To My Heart Fall/Winter Idea Book to come out. There are 4 new sets of paper designs that are fabulous. There is also a new "Snapease" system for our albums; no more screwing and unscrewing the posts. I just got mine and I love them, so simple. There's also a new holiday circle card kit that's so so cute. Enough teasing, you've only got one more week and you can see it all yourself. I'll be posting some new artwork with the papers as soon as I get them uploaded.

Quarter Mania

Well, I participated in my first quarter auction (aka exercise bootcamp) because I worked my bootie off. It was so fun even though I didn't win anything. I didn't really make a lot of money but is was great for advertising and I got 60+ names, addresses, and emails (hopefully potential customers)! Thanks Marianne, Lori, their mom, Jenn, Megan, and their mom for attending. You guys rock! Got another quarter auction up at the Holiday Inn Grantville on August 26th. Details coming!

How Cool Is My Neo Counter!

I was eating dinner and decided to check out my blog since I'm new at this. I looked at the neo counter and it says a person from Ireland and Puerto Rico have visited my site. How cool is that! You ladies from the US and Canada are just as important. If you have a blog, you've got to get a neo counter and if your visiting, please sign up as a follower and I'll come visit you (if you have a blog).

Later diva's!

I have no clue is I'm doing this correctly!

I continue to work on my blog but haven't told anyone about it. That's pretty stupid. I'm just not sure if I'm doing it correctly and I thought I was pretty technologically savvy; not so much anymore. Anyway, I'm going to actually tell people about my blog today.

I Passed My Graduate Degree Test!!!

I'm so excited. As of Friday, I will have completed my Master's in Curriculum and Instruction and I just found out I passed the cumulative graduation test. I can't believe I'm finally done.

Quarter Auction

I'm so excited to be participating in a Quarter Auction that will benefit the Food, Allergy, & Anaphylaxis Network (FAAN). I've never heard of such a thing but it sounds like so much fun and hopefully good for the business. You've got to have an invitation so email me and I'll send you one or you should be able to click on the invitation to the right to get a larger picture to print. Email amullen@myctmh.com to let me know if you are coming or for other questions. It's going to be so fun.

My First Post

Well, blogging seems to be the way to go these days. I thought I was pretty technologically literate but I'm beginning to feel a little out of touch. As a new consultant for Close to My Heart, blogging should be a good way to display my work and perhaps some helpful hints as well as customers making suggestions and comments.

I will continue to explore other blogs in hopes of making mine more useful for my customers. Feel free to point in the direction of someone who has a cool blog.
