Mercedes Car Presentation



When a consultant reaches a certain level of team sales, she receives a free Mercedes from Arbonne. It is quite an achievement to earn this level, but anyone can do it with a team who is enthusiastic and committed to sharing Arbonne's great botanically-based products. There are thousands of stories all over the US of people just like these ladies who set a goal to change their families' lives for the better and accomplished it.

Anyone want to join my team?

Happy Birthday to Me


This weekend I received a visit from John, Karen, and Ian for my birthday on Monday. We had a great time visiting, eating, and playing. Ian is growing so fast! He's almost ready to sit up by himself, knows how to handle a bottle and spoon and what they're for, and clearly wants to crawl soon. He's always in motion unless he's tired, then he just shuts down and sleeps for awhile.

We should take some cues from babies and live more in the moment. He takes each thing as it comes. Some experiences are good (applesauce!) and some are not (green beans!), but the day goes by just fine anyway. When it's time to rest, he sleeps. When it's time to eat, he eats. The rest of the time, he plays and explores. Our lives should be so uncomplicated.

Covered Bridge Inn scrap retreat



Wow, this was a fabulous scrapbook retreat! I loved it so much I'm going back in January! The place was gorgeous, spacious, and accommodating. The hot tub was great, the meals filling, the company stimulating.

I met new friends who were all friends of Cheryl, my college roommate. She arranged this group and did a great job! I can't thank her enough for encouraging me to come, and I see why she tries to go several times a year.

I made projects, scrapped pages for an album, relaxed, got a massage, soaked in the hot tub, sat up late, slept well, and generally enjoyed myself thoroughly. What decadence!

Scrapbooking Retreat at Last!

Six months ago, my friend C asked me to go with her to a scrapbooking retreat in Weatherford. For several reasons, the timing wasn't right then, but when she returned and told me the dates of the next one, I said, "I'm in." Well, this weekend, long awaited, has finally arrived!

Tomorrow morning I head out, pick up C, and drive to Weatherford to the Covered Bridge Inn. It's a Victorian house set up specifically for scrappers. Upstairs there are beds for 18, downstairs there's an eating area, and, most importantly, a beautiful scrapping room. A hot tub and massage will complete the luxurious, relaxing weekend.Now, you might ask, what am I going to scrap? Well, Ian, of course. I have plenty of photos of him to put into scrapbooks. I also have a trip to Atlanta from April that I want to scrap. So there'll be plenty to do, but mostly, I want to relax, meet new friends who enjoy the same hobby, and have a mini-vacation. Hooray!

Next week, I'll post photos of the weekend, so stay tuned!
