Another great week!

I just love this business! I get to hear stories of new crew members who are meeting people and growing their business even before they get their starter kits! One gal, Tina, has a fabulous program going and it's just taking off like crazy. Regina in Texas had appointments and press releases ready to go even before her crew member number showed up on my report it seems! She called again today excited about meeting with 50 day care center leaders in her area! WOW! It's so fun! Laura, who joined the day after I did has over 130 in her group alone.... AMAZING! I love doing business with my friends!

I'm eager to get some reporting functions available via the home office, but until then I'm hunt and pecking my way through Excel to figure out what I need to know. Everything's a learning experience!

The DSWA has been a great resource site for me. If you're reading this and have never visited or joined, go to:

it's still new, but it's a fabulous source of information! I love it! Last month I decided to bite the bullet and become a lifetime member to show my support of the direct sales field in general. I'm excited to be part of a great group like this and can't wait to see what's ahead there! Check it out!

We did our first of many fundraisers this past week. We called it the "Mom and Me Stuff n Spa". The moms did a hand treatment in the dining room and the kids did the animals in the family room. A little chaotic, but VERY fun and we raised $200 for Carol's walk for breast cancer! We're doing something similar with a new friend from BeautiControl, Deb, and calling it Mojo, Mom and Me, where the kids make the Mojo monkey from Noah's Ark Animal Workshops while Deb takes the moms for the spa experience. Such fun. For that one we're helping raise funds for the 'Women Helping Others" Foundation. Thankfully our local retirement/assisted living community has offered to let us use their facilities for free to hold these events. They're great!

That's it for now! Have a great weekend!
