No pride!

Remember my little alphabet??
Well, here's is the "P" for no Pride!

What a funny/dorky photo.
I love it!

*Q* is for quick! I used to be be quicker than I am now.

*R* is for rest! I need more now than is used to.
Could be related to that quick thing!

*S* is for sunshine! Love it!! Can't live without it.
I'm sure that's why the heat in Arizona is ok.
For me.
I need that Blue Sky and Sunny Yellow brightness
every day to feel alive and energized.

*T* is for 'Truly-Madly-Deeply". When it comes to love, what else is there?

That's it for today but....
Tomorrow I'll shout Hallelujiah! This alphabet will be over over!!

Convention 2011!!!!

I arrived in Anaheim in one piece! And I was lucky enough to run into a good friend and Delightful gal Joyce B. We shared a fun bus ride to the happiest place on earth...the Disneyland Hotel! My roomie Bren Y. and I had a great time. I loved being so close to "Downtown Disney" and the fun shopping and eating.


After a busy, full day at *Leadership* I had a Hearts Delight team meeting! Almost every Hearts Delight consultant attended and I met a ton of talented, excited and amazing women. The photo above are the "gifts" that my team members received. Remember the cutting and gluing from my former posts?? Hahaha. I was a busy gal. Prep and assembly.
The story of my life every year *Before Convention*!

And the breakfast of champions! I love a Micky waffle. Yum!
I'll be sharing a few more stories and photos.
Cuz in case you didn't know....CTMH and *Cricut* are going steady!!

It's BIG biGG BBIIGG. Can't wait to plug it in and let it cut for me!! YeeHaw! I've seen the light!!

There she is....

Congratulations! to my darling friend Shannon Rozas (with her equally darling husband Darryn) on becoming the *Mom-Entrepreneur* of the Year! WooHOO!!
I met Shannon while networking last year and I was happy to be at this event to cheer for her.

Here she is with supportive business partners. I totally can't remember their names, but you can tell they are happy to be friends with Shannon and share this honor!

Here's some fun after the announcement.

Last years Mom Entrepreneur, Karen Nowiki places the giant crown on her head.

Not the best photo, but everyone on the stage are fabulous examples of women who followed their dreams and passions and are great Mom's at the same time.

My friends, Brenda - a former Close To My Heart consultant,
now an organizing guru and Angela - my Taxanista, so glad to have met
and even better to be friends with!
Women who do it all.
Networking has been such a great way to meet many, many new friends.
If you have a business and your looking for a way to "get out there" you should check out the mom-e clubs. Or any number of amazing networking groups that help you make connections.

Who knows? YOU might be the next Mom Entrepreneur.

I won! I won! I won!

But enough about me! I'll be posting a photo of my winning artwork later this week, when I get some lovely sunhine and a few minutes to get it done.

In the meantime here are some fun photos of my weekend in Las Vegas. I attended Karen Morris' LeaderShare! Nope, Karen M. is not my Upline.

She is my awesome friend.

And Las Vegas is much closer than the LeaderShare event that my AWESOME Upine Sheri Rottler hosted in October. I drove up with some local consultants - and good friends! We enjoyed a fabulous lunch at Cafe Rio. YummO!!
Left to right- Shelia W-Me-Eileen W-Patty A. Missing is Sharyl H.
She had lunch with the big wigs cuz she's a Director!


And here are the totally cool Hearts Delight Team members who attended. The lighting is not great in this photo but this was the best of the bunch! It was great to catch up with Jen R, and Addie E. I got to meet the darling Loreina C. They all received a fun gifty of goodies from the new spring Idea Book.

And my photo with Mama to be Monica W. She looks adorable as always.
I look like a dork.

And here I am working to complete my "projects" and be funny. My job is to make sure Eileen gets a good laugh. In the background you can see Bren. Karen and Naomi are there as well.....but their heads are chopped off. Oh MY.

Good times.

Weekend Stampin

I love getting together with my Heart 2 Heart *stampin* buds! Every 6 weeks -or so- we get together and make "stuff" A rag tag Close To My Heart bunch. They let me crash into their group and I'm the lucky one for sure!!

I'll be posting our goodies after I put my own little tweak on them. We made some delightful springtime samples with the Sophia paper pack. So, so pretty.

We share great ideas, laughter and friendship. I'm happy that I have gotten to know these Arizona ladies. From L to R is Chantelle, Pam, Kelly, Kelly, Sharon and Valerie. (Like a good blogger I'm taking the photo)!

The best part of my business isn't business...It's the other amazing, creative and interesting women that are part of my life. Lucky Lucky Me!!

Heart to Heart Arizona style!

Every so often I'm lucky enough to have a day off! Not just from work but from the other duties that call my name as well. That's the day I get to spend with the "Heart to Heart" group of gals. We're a bunch of local Close To My Heart consultants who like to get together and make cards, share ideas and have fun.

I'm thrilled that this group of women let me crash the party! The photo isn't the best (see my bananas? tissues?and mail? counter clutter-everywhere!) but I wanted to post our creations from this weekend. The best part? Other than the food and the friends is that I have *stample cards* to copy or to get inspiration for my clubs and workshops! Cool huh?


And here is Kelly English-Triggs beautiful 9 x9 art board creation. She was inspired by a project that I taught last year at Creative University! I'm thrilled she copied my little ole' project which I copied from my very talented down line Eileen W.

Imitation IS the sincerest form of flattery. A fantastic idea is hard to keep secret! I love going up to Camp Luther Haven and getting my groove on with some very creative types!. I'll be there again this year and I'm teaching a new project! Can't wait to show it off. I'll be posting the photos once I get back home.

If you live in the Phoenix area and want to get together and create, shoot me an email and I'll fill you in on the who, what, when and where of our next Heart to Heart gathering.

You'll love it!

Good Times at Team Builders

Here's our cute check in gifts upon arriving in Salt Lake City last Thursday. The box was filled with team spirit pins, pom poms and even a fun mega-phone! It set the tone for cheering on the corporate team and shouting WOOT WOOT !!!



Here we are in the V.I.P room saying HOWDY to each other. It's Bren, Kay and Sue. Dear friends and talented leaders.

My friend Tiffany Young the fabulous Manager of Events and Training.

The three amigos. Bren, Yours Truly, and Karen.

And the lovely Monica. For 18 years I've had a photo with Monica at every single Close To My Heart event. I can see every wrinkle and lump my age incurs but she has stayed exactly the same.
She's just a doll baby.

Don't miss it this Saturday!
