Working on lots of projects!

2011-10-30T20:34:00.001-04:00

Getting ready to make lots of projects for Christmas! I’ve made some projects I’ve seen on Pintrest. A set of coasters and a picture board for my daughters disney pics. Also made her bday party invites and some family bday party invites.

Here is the set of coasters. Made with modge podge, ceramic tiles from Lowes and pictures from our DisneyLand trip.

Here is the picture board for my daughter. I cut the pictures, adhered them to a foam board bought at Staples and then modge podged over the pictures. I put CTMH ribbon around the edges.

This is a wooden letter from Michaels covered in paper. Tigger is from the Pooh and Friends CriCut Cartridge.

We made these with CTMH CriCut cartridge and we put them together to make the front of the invite for a build a bear party.

This is the party invite for my kids joint bday party. I made the blocks in powerpoint and printed on cardstock. Mounted on CTMH cardstock and B&T paper from our Halloween paper pack. Used the sticky side of our color ready borders with prisma glitter and CTMH ribbon.

Want to scrapbook every month?

2011-08-05T19:09:00.001-04:00

Scrapbook Club

You do so much for everyone else in your life – it’s time to fill YOUR cup! Reward yourself with a fun night out once a month -- when you and your friends join a “Close to My Heart” scrapbook club!

Club Member Benefits

· Enjoy a guaranteed GIRLS NIGHT OUT every month to visit with your friends!

· Free class -- Learn new techniques every month for free!

· Create 2 scrapbook layouts every month!

· See new samples and ideas every month. Bring your camera – you are welcome to take pictures.

· FREE idea book before other customers

· Each club member will have an opportunity to hostess and receive all the hostess gifts! Hostesses are welcome to gather outside orders to boost their amount of free gifts!

· When it’s your turn to hostess – go on a shopping spree in the catalog and pick out at least $25. in free products!

· Opportunities to receive free drawing gifts, incentives, special discounts and the Stamp of the Month.

· You are welcome to bring guests to club night. You receive a free stamp pad when your guest joins the club!

Club Guidelines

· Club members commit to making a min. $25. club purchase each month. Options include: a basic KIT OF THE MONTH ($29.95), or the level 2 paper pack for the workshop ($9.95) + other items to equal $25. I will have a shopping list each month for next months’ project for your convenience. If we get more members, the minimum amount will go down per person.

· Ideally, each club will include 10 club members. You are making this monthly commitment to the other club members for 10 months. This ensures that each club member will have a turn to hostess and receive free hostess gifts. Any club member unable to fulfill the 10 month commitment will be responsible for finding another club member to fill their space. (if we get to 10 club members the minimum will be $15 per person)

· If you’re having lots of fun like many of my original club members, you are welcome to participate in the club indefinitely. I’ll keep rotating you through the roster calendar, so you’ll keep receiving free hostess gifts!

· I love to share the joy of scrapbooking, so I encourage club members to bring guests to club parties. They often become new club members and also raise the party sales so the hostess receives more free gifts! Guests can do one of the layouts for $10. If they place an order of at least $15 the night of the club gathering, they will get their layout for free! Guests must RSVP the month before so supplies are ordered.

· In the spirit of our GIRLS NIGHT OUT atmosphere and in consideration of all the members who look forward to one quiet, kid-free zone a month to visit with their friends – please no children.

· Don’t worry, it’s OK to miss a club party date – we all have family and work obligations that sometimes fall on the same date. If you are unable to come to a club party, please contact me BEFORE the party to place your order or send your order and payment with another club member to the party. All club orders must be submitted by the night of the party. The hostess will be selecting her gifts based on the total sales that evening. To ensure the prompt delivery of orders, I will submit the order at the end of the party.

· If your order has not been received by the end of the club party, I will order the Kit of the Month at $29.95.

· If you fail to place a club order a second time, you will lose your turn as a hostess and may be asked to forfeit your club membership.

· $25. fee for returned checks. Payment for returned checks must be paid in full plus $25. fee by next club party or you may be asked to forfeit your club membership.

The kids names are whited out. Mrs. J’s album has an ABC theme to it. For the letters with no kids names I picked words for events, etc done this year.

Ms. Huffs album is smaller, with one kid on each page.

Each album has little pockets for the notes the kids wrote the teachers. The notes have little tags on them and the teachers can pull them out of the top any time they would like to look at the notes from the students.

Hope you enjoy them!

My battle with ppd

2011-02-23T20:19:00.002-05:00

Not craft related, but something I wanted to share..

My experience with PPD

Six years ago I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. It took me 2 years to conceive her and I was thrilled when she was finally born. I couldn’t have been happier. I had some baby blues (especially the day my mom left to go home) but other than that I was so happy.

A little under three years ago, Chris and I decided to add to our family. After almost 2 ½ years of trying, I finally became pregnant. This pregnancy was different than the first, but no major problems.

I delivered a healthy beautiful baby boy exactly 2 weeks early. I was completely unprepared to go into labor so early, so I had a hard time processing that I was actually in labor! But 12 hours later, Riley came into the world. By the time he was born, Chris and I had been awake almost 24 hours. I made sure to let the nurses take Riley to the nursery each night so I could get some sleep. Before I was discharged, the nurse came in and talked to Chris and I about all my follow up care, including signs of depression to watch out for. Chris was able to be home the first 5 days I was home, then my mom came and stayed for another 5 days. Both were incredibly helpful to me, but I had a secret that I didn’t tell anyone. Every night when I was up feeding Riley, all I would do was cry. Sometimes I cried so hard I wouldn’t even realize that Riley was done eating and back to sleep. When I looked at Riley, I didn’t feel the rush of happiness and love I had felt with Kayley. Every time someone talked about how perfect he was, I’d agree, but I didn’t feel it. I worked hard during the day so Chris and my mom wouldn’t know anything was wrong. I honestly felt I was just too tired and I didn’t want either of them worried about me or feeling they had to hover over me which would have drove me crazy. The next week started Chris and Kayley’s winter break and I had figured that when Chris was home and I got more sleep I would feel better. After a few days with Chris home to help and getting more sleep, I noticed I wasn’t feeling any better. I still cried all night, and still didn’t feel anything when I looked at my perfect baby boy. That made me even sadder. I tried for 2 ½ years to get pregnant and finally had my baby and I felt nothing. I felt like a horrible mother. I was horrible to Kayley because I was so depressed and even when I told myself I wouldn’t be, I was and it was like I couldn’t control myself. That increased my pain.

My two favorite things to do to unwind are read a book or scrapbook. I couldn’t bring myself to do either one. (Which is very odd for me as those of you that know me well realize!) I took Riley into work one day to see the girls and I was telling them I thought I might be depressed. They were supportive and told me to mention it to the doctor. A couple of people told me they were more depressed with their second babies than with their first. That helped me feel a bit better. I talked to Chris about it that night and said I was going to talk to the doctor at my appointment the following Monday. On Christmas Eve, I talked to my aunt and step mom. My aunt reminded me that Brooke Shields had written a book on her experience with PPD. That night I downloaded it on my phone and even though reading was the last thing I felt like doing, I was curious to see if what I was feeling was PPD. I read a good amount of the book that night but the first part is all the back story so I didn’t get to far into what she was experienced.

On Christmas morning at one point, I was sitting on the floor and Chris was holding Riley and Kayley was standing with them. I felt like I was in a fishbowl looking out. I had this incredible urge to leave my house and family and just go anywhere but home. Looking at Chris and the kids I thought “They would all be totally fine if I wasn’t even here”. After a while I realized that probably wasn’t the best thought to be having and realized I should talk to my doctor. I finished Brooke Shield’s book before my appt and couldn’t believe there was someone else who was felt the same way I did. I was also thankful as I did not feel as badly as she did. I did a lot of research after that. On one checklist of symptoms I had every one.

I spoke to my doctor and he told me PPD is more common for women in their second and third pregnancies. Your hormones get more out of wack with each pregnancy and take longer to streamline. My age also played a factor. My doctor stressed this was not my fault and did not make me a bad mother. He prescribed some medication for me and told me I would start to feel better in about a week or so.

I can’t say I felt better after the week, but I did stop crying all the time and it helped me deal with the lack of sleep. Which I was ok with for a while. But I still wasn’t myself. I wasn’t feeling happy. People kept telling me how lucky I was and what a perfect family I had. That made me sad because while I knew that in my mind, I didn’t feel that way. I felt like a zombie just going through each day. That got old, very quickly.

I went unfeeling through each day until about the end of January. One day I looked at Riley and he smiled at me. One of those big toothless grins that was just for me. My heart just melted and I finally felt the way I was supposed to feel! I was so happy, FINALLY. It’s a month later and I am finally starting to feel like myself.

Now everytime I look at my little boy, I am filled with such joy and love, just like I should be feeling. I go back to work in just two days and I am dreading it, only because I am not ready to leave him yet. I feel like I need more time with him; like the first eight weeks were wasted because I didn’t enjoy it.

I am lucky to have such warm and caring family and friends that would have done anything for me, had I had the courage to ask. Thanks to my mom, Denise, Carrie, and Marianna who all texted me multiple times to see how I was feeling and to check in on me. Thanks to the girls at work who kept me in the loop so I had a feeling of self worth! To Patsy, Peggy, Beth M, Beth E, Veronica, Sandy, Heather, Jen, Ashley, Joann, my dad and stepmom, my mother in law and my brother who all listened when I was ready to tell them. To my friends I haven’t personally told, I hope you forgive me. This was a very painful experience for me and hard to talk about. I had to force myself to talk about it. Even though everyone told me not to feel bad about it and it wasn’t my fault, I still blamed myself. My head knew it wasn’t my fault but my heart didn’t.

To my little girl, who was more forgiving than should be asked of a 6 year old. I only hope I can be a better mother in the future, one that she deserves.

And last but not least, to my husband for putting up with me during all this. Having a new baby in the house is stressful enough, putting up with a crazy wife doesn’t make it easier.

I am sharing this in the hopes that any woman who goes through this will be able to recognize it and not be afraid to ask for help. For any man who has a partner going through this, please be supportive and encourage your partner to talk to her doctor. This unfortunately is still a subject that many don’t talk about and I hope that changes in the future. I would have not gotten through this without the supportive of the people in my life. This is a real illness and needs to be treated that way!

Thanks again to everyone in my life, and I thank God every night for my family, friends and that I’m feeling better every day.

Hearts For Haiti

Announcing the "Hearts for Haiti" Campaign -Operation Smile
Our hearts go out to the victims of the earthquake in Haiti, and like so many of you, we're eager to help. We're excited to announce Close To My Heart's February Constant Campaign, Hearts for Haiti-where customers can get a great deal while doing great good for those affected by the devastation in Haiti.

From February 1-28, 2010, our 12" x 12" textured cardstock combo packs are buy one, get one FREE-and with every offer purchased, Close To My Heart will donate $2 US to Operation Smile's Haiti relief efforts.

Operation Smile is always a fantastic charitable partner-offering free facial reconstruction surgeries to needy children throughout the world. They've currently marshaled their medical teams and resources to provide emergency relief in Haiti, and the donations given as part of Hearts for Haiti will be used exclusively for Operation Smile's efforts in Haiti. For more information on their on-the-ground response, you can visit www.operationsmile.org/haiti.

I was included in the 2nd test group for our digital scrapbooking program. I'm not a digital scrapbooker, but I thought I'd give it a try! It doesn't really feel like scrapbooking, but it was so great and so easy! It has our scrapbook kits and embellishments to use.. I love it! It won't take the place of paper scrapbooking for me, but for some great easy layouts it was wonderful. Once I get them from CTMH I will post them for all to see!

Then the following week a tragedy hit our group of friends when we found out about the death of a college friend of ours. He died in his sleep. That was very hard on a lot of us. Prayers for his family would be appreciated!

2009-07-19T21:34:00.001-04:00

This weekend I worked on some Thank you cards my cousin Ashley asked me to make. She just changed salons and trying to build her new clientele. And I made a little box for them. She wants 40 of them, but I ran out of the type of the paper I was using so I have to order some more! I got 20 of them completed though!

Had a good DSN meeting Thursday night with some cute ideas with items from the dollar store.

chris left for band camp today, he’ll be back later this week so we’ll see how our week goes! Hopefully the weather will be good for them up there!

Tomorrow we are headed to the pool with jen and the kids and then to see my step mom’s family for dinner! They are all in town this week!

Have a great week! I’ll have some other projects this week with chris gone!

well, not mine but kayleys!

2009-07-14T21:13:00.001-04:00

In one of my CTMH surprise boxes 2 of the old My Child’s Reflections Kits and I kept them out for Kayley. We did them this weekend and she loved them! So now I’m on a quest to find more of them for her since we don’t sell them any longer!

Here are some pictures of what she decided to do. She put the stickers on, cut the pictures and glued them on. I added the flip flaps with extra pictures.

I’ll have another update later this week.. Tomorrow night Chris, Ray, Jen and I are going to see Harry Potter! We are so excited, we’ve been waiting for this movie for what seems like forever!!

Productive weekend

2009-07-06T22:28:00.001-04:00

well for it being the 4th I had a pretty
CTMH productive weekend. I was able to get stuff together to sell at the Christmas in July sale tomorrow, and I finished some cards from a kit that CTMH sold last year and made a flip album for the first time.

The cards were from a kit we sold last year, but I can’t find the stamp set that came with it, so I had to use other sets that i have. I had made one set last year but I don’t think they came out too badly with the other sets!

The flip album was the first one I’ve made. I don’t think it came out too badly!

Here are some pictures.. hope everyone had a good weekend! Those of you in town, stop by the Christmas in July sale tomorrow!

Quarter Auction Thursday night!

2009-06-30T21:43:00.001-04:00

Getting things ready for the Quarter Auction Thursday night! I’ll attach pics of my “travel pack” I made for it! and then next Tuesday night is our Christmas in July vendor event!

Today is the last day for the daily special for CTMH! It was a box of $300 of product for only $125!! It will be up till 9 am tomorrow EST so check it out!

We are visiting with the inlaws and having a nice visit. I have to work during the day but they are all having fun doing things during the day, then we go to dinner at night! (and we all know how much i love to eat! )

Well I’m tired so I’m off for now! come to the Quarter Auction Thursday if you can!

Productive weekend!

2009-06-27T23:19:00.001-04:00

well i had a somewhat productive day today! i got my samples for the animal crackers workshop completed and a few layouts done!

remember to check out my website every day for the deal of the day! it goes through Tuesday!!

Here are some pics of what i was able to do today! i have Denise’s tastefully simple party tomorrow but hopefully i’ll get some more things done!!

The last two pictures of layouts were done with premade level 1 kit, Magic Moments. The other layout is of an exhibit I saw in Ocala with my mother of Princess Diana’s dresses.

July Newsletter

2009-06-22T22:25:00.002-04:00

Here is a copy of my july newsletter. The link is to the right if you'd like to see the pictures, but they are also in the slideshow from yesterday.
today i got all my CTMH cardstock sorted and put into bags so i can find each type easier. that took a good couple of hours! but it will help in the long run!

off to bed!

Happy Summer!

Hope all is well for everyone! We are back from Disney and finally getting back into the swing of things! Please take a minute to read this, lots of information in this newsletter!

There seems to be some confusion in regards to the Workshops on the Go. The cost you pay for the workshop covers a level 2 kit, the matching stickers, a workshop guide (with a brand new layout not found in any of our other scrapbooking guides) and matching embellishments for the projects. We do not use all the paper or embellishments during the workshop, and you take home whatever you do not use! I received a lot of questions about clarifying that information, so there you go! :)

Upcoming events being planned for late summer and early fallCrops, Clubs and photography classes!
Crop: I will be planning a crop for late summer/early fall. If interested, please respond to me with whether a Friday night, or all day Saturday or Sunday works better. Many of you have been asking for one so I'd like to be able to schedule it when as many people can come as possible.

Cardmaking and Scrapbooking Clubs:
I'd like to see you all more!! Let's get the scrapbooking and card making clubs started again! I had to take a break b/c guard was getting pretty busy, but last month I resigned as the color guard instructor (after 11 years!) and now have plenty of time!
I'd like to do 5 month rotations. Membership between 5-10 people. Each month someone else will get to be the hostess and earn free hostess product, and we'll spend time each month getting you caught up on scrapbooking or cards! If interested, contact me for details. I'd like to start in August or September. I'd like to do seperate scrapbooking and card making ones, unless enough people are interested in joining a club doing both!

Photography classes:
I will also be planning a couple of simple photography classes in response to many of your questions/concerns about how to use your digital cameras or how simply to get better pictures taken (you do not have to be a scrapbooker to take these classes!)
It will be a 2 part series, the first being a lecture with tips, etc and the second will be a hands on in the park (perhaps as the leaves are changing, that will give us a nice backdrop for taking pictures) You will need to bring your camera and user manual to each class. I will be planning these for September and October. Space will be limited, so you will want to sign up quickly. Also, anyone who comes to 3 workshops between now and September will get attendance to the photography classes for FREE!!!
Free Product!

Anyone who books a home gathering between now and August 31st will receive a "goody bag" from me with free product! I will also offer this to anyone who gets a group of friends together to form a club to start in August!

Who doesnt like free product! book your gathering or get your club together today!!

As always, thank you for allowing me the opportunity to be your consultant and to show you the art of scrapbooking and cardmaking simplier, faster and easier!

Sincerely,
Nikki DeWittNikki's Close to My Heart Business

Busy weekend!

2009-06-21T21:54:00.001-04:00

Well, I had a productive weekend! Even with it being fathers day and having everyone over for dinner Saturday night!

Two slide shows for my two July workshops are attached, and I also made the folder for all of Kayley’s art work for this year.

Have a good week!

Its been a while

2009-06-19T19:15:00.001-04:00

well sorry its been a while since i’ve posted! We were gone to Disney for a full week and then got back and got into the swing of things again!

I’ll be working on a lot of upcoming workshop stuff this weekend, so check back, but i wanted to make sure everyone checks out my CTMH website for the special of the day! A mystery box of $120 for only $60!! and a discount on shipping for it!

Check it out! Here are a couple pictures of our Disney trip. This was the first time Kayley was interested in getting autographs in addition to getting her pictures taken with them. we saw so many characters this time, it was crazy!!!

Quarter Auction

2009-06-05T20:49:00.001-04:00

Well we had the quarter auction last night and had a great time! Had a little candy buffet for National Candy Month! I had a great training Wednesday night facilitated by one of my uplines in Hawaii! We had 5 different speakers, and the training was great!

We’ll be spending the rest of the weekend getting ready to leave! Kayley and I have to be at the airport at 6 PM Sunday. Chris and the band leave on the bus at 1 PM on Monday and drive all day/night so we’ll meet up with them when they get off the bus Tuesday morning at the Animal Kingdom.

Here are a few pics from the quarter auction last night! Enjoy! If I pay for internet access from Disney I’ll post some updates otherwise I’ll post when I get home!

Getting ready for the quarter auction and vacation!

2009-06-01T22:33:00.001-04:00

I made a few projects for the quarter auction. Disney themed of course! Using the last of the Giggles and Grins paper I had! Hopefully they go over well. I made a 6X6 my creations fold out album and altered a small canvas for a picture and altered a pen. I wanted to make an autograph book but I’m not sure I have enough paper left so I’ll have to try that tomorrow!

We leave for Disney on Sunday night! Can’t wait even though it will be crowded being the summer time. Mom is picking Kayley and I up from the Orlando airport Sunday night and hanging out with us most of the day on Monday. Chris leaves Monday afternoon with the band taking the bus down.

We have so much to get done before we leave! So here’s hoping we get everything done!

Have a good week!

Thank you to our veterans!

2009-05-25T21:23:00.001-04:00

A big thank you all veterans, past and present who fight daily for my and my family’s freedoms and makes this a great country to live in!!

My mom and Randy were in town this weekend, we had a nice visit. Saturday at Nola’s, Sunday mom and randy took Kayley out to Randalls and Chris and I went and saw Angels and Demons.Really good movie! Today we went out to breakfast and then we took mom back to the airport (randy flew in and out of dayton b/c he had a credit on AirTran) Kayley gets so mad at my mom for leaving that she won’t ever tell her goodbye! Mom is used to this by now so it doesnt hurt her feelings, but we thought since she’ll see my mom in 2 weeks when we go to disney she would be better, but no such luck!

The quarter auction is the first Thursday of June! Let me know if you can come!

For some reason, my video slideshow of my June workshops didn’t post, so I’m posting again. The tinkering workshop is June 19th, the moon doggie workshop is the 21st. Full details are on my website, www.nikkid.myctmh.com under Calendar.

Have a good week everyone! I have lots of things to make for the quarter auction, so I should have lots of posts this week!

June workshops!

I can see!

2009-05-16T21:28:00.001-04:00

My surgery yesterday went ok! I have to admit it was a bit traumatic for me! My valium didn’t kick in so I was pretty alert during the whole thing. It was quick, they took me back at 9 AM, and we pulled off 275 at our exit at 9:30! It certainly felt like a long time though!

My eyes still hurt a bit and are very dry! But I would do it again! I could read the 20/20 line today at my appt and I was able to drive myself!

Kayley was sick this week with an ear infection and nose bleeds. She’s doing better now but we had a rough couple of days.

Not too much CTMH stuff this week, but I did manage to get a card made for Ray and Jen for baby AJ.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend. I need to give my eyes a bit of a rest, my eyesight is hazy and its hard to see the computer for long periods of time!

Getting ready for the quarter auction!

2009-05-06T21:54:00.001-04:00

Tonight I spent time getting items ready for the quarter auction tomorrow night! attached is a picture of one of the items up for auction tomorrow! I won a packet at the Tahoe from my director, from a workshop she did.

Today didn’t start out that great, on the way to work the car in front of me hit a deer. It just clipped it but the deer flipped up in the air and then was flipping all around on the highway trying to get up. It was so sad, I cried the whole way to work! I keep seeing it in my head. I hate it.

Picked up eye drops today that I have to start to start taking tonight and then next week I have to start doing some more drops in preperation for my eye surgery.

We’ll see how tomorrow goes at the quarter auction! I hope my items are a hit!

Busy day!

2009-05-03T21:53:00.001-04:00

Well I didn’t do anything CTMH today, even though I should have! Kayley and I planted my garden! Chris worked on something for my grape plant to grow on, its three years old now and I’m hoping we’ll get grapes this year. Guess we’ll see. We also planted tomatoes, watermelon, pumpkin, garlic, basil, peppers, strawberries, corn, cucumbers, zucchini and potatoes. Some from seeds, some from plants. Kayley looked all night to see if anything was growing yet!

Here are some pics of us in the garden. I also made a slideshow of my England Scrapbook. It’s only the pictures I actually scrapbooked, the whole second half of the album are pictures only and pamphlets from the trip!

Now off to start another week! Have a good week everyone! I’ll be busy getting products ready for the Quarter Auction on Thursday night.

Big Decision!

2009-05-02T21:48:00.001-04:00

Well I made a big decision yesterday! I am going to get Lasik surgery! My Wyoming pay is coming in one large check which will make a nice down payment. I am so tired of dealing with glasses and contacts. So I decided to go for it. I worked it out in my personal budget so I’m pretty excited! So May 15th will be the date! Based on my and Chris’ schedule it was the only date I could to it before July. I was afraid I’d lose my nerve if I didn’t do it soon! The thought of my eye getting cut open is a little freaky! Everyone I know that had it done says it was the best money they ever spent. We aren’t sure yet if Chris is a candidate, his eyes are still changing he thinks. But he has a yearly eye exam on Friday so maybe we’ll find out on Friday! Not sure he’s interested in it, but with how thick his glasses can be hopefully one day he’ll get able to get it done!

We had a lazy day today. Kayley was short on sleep this week for multiple reasons so we had a bit of a difficult day. Hopefully tomorrow will be better! Today I finished Teresa’s wedding album, which was nice to be able to say I was completed! I’m going to try and attach the slideshow of it and of pictures from the team retreat in Tahoe.

May workshop date set!

2009-04-28T22:43:00.001-04:00

Here is a picture of one of the layouts (the layout was made by a team member in Tahoe, Kayley doesn’t do any sports yet and I’m trying to work with some swim lesson pictures! )

BAck from tahoe!!

2009-04-27T20:34:00.001-04:00

Well I’m back from Tahoe and had a great time! Arrived Thursday morning and Guinevere picked me up from the airport and we were off to Tahoe after lunch! I made lots of new friends this weekend! My team is great! It snowed while I was up there! (and it was in the 80s and beautiful here at home!) I worked on Teresa’s wedding album, some of our family/Kayley’s album and started another album that’s a gift. I didn’t hit a block until about 11 PM Saturday night! Sunday morning Guinevere and I left and she dropped me back off at the airport. My flights home were bumpy! I had a connection in Salt Lake City and the weather was bad across the plains so they had to fly us up through Wisconsin and then back down to Ohio. We were hardly allowed to get up because the flight was so bumpy! 3 hours and 40 minutes of having to stay in my seat! I’m glad I didn’t have to go to the bathroom!

I learned a lot in Tahoe, and also realized what a disadvantage I am at with not being close to my team. They are able to bounce ideas off of each other and come up with some great things!! The things they are able to put together just amazed me! I also saw how different I need to prepare for workshops to run my business, etc. So it was helpful in that regard.

Hopefully I can attend every spring! They do one in the fall, but my Phi Sig reunion is in the fall so I will have to pass in the fall!

Getting ready for the week, today was rough, but Kayley was great today so that helped!

our busy weekend!

2009-04-20T17:31:00.000-04:00

well we spent this weekend working on Kayley’s new big girl room! we got it painted, the carpet up and her bed and dresser put together! we have to wait till wednesday to put up the border and other princess stuff we have! i’ll post some pictures soon!

also got my laptop (was to be my bday present but wasnt in last week) but its here today so i’m having fun playing with it!

and Thursday i am off to tahoe for my CTMH team retreat! cant wait!

Quarter Auction Information

2009-04-12T12:58:00.003-04:00

Happy Easter Everyone!

Attached is information about our May Quarter Auction!!

Nikki's Close to My Heart Business
Quarter Auction Information and RSVP Deadline

Dear Nicole,

RSVP's for the May Quarter Auction need to be in to me by Thursday morning. See below.

Sincerely,

Nikki DeWitt

Quarter Auction

I apologize if you get this more than once. I belong to the Cincinnati Chapter of the Direct Selling Network and the first Thursday of every month we have a quarter auction. May is a huge month and you must RSVP to me, but I know some of you like both my stuff and stuff from other vendors so I wanted to get this all to you.
I need anyone interested to RSVP to me by Thursday morning, I have to turn my count in on Thursday night at our meeting. You dont want to miss this opportunity, lots of great stuff and you only have to bid with quarters! You could pay 25 cents and get an item retailing $15-$25! Plus in May we have extra surprises as well, I hope you will consider coming!
Please remember to RSVP. THANKS!
Here is the information:

GUESTS: PLEASE RSVP TO YOUR VENDOR!

Our May Quarter Auction is to be filled with goodies, prizes, raffles, money and so much more!!

Bidding items are showcased from the following companies (on a rotating basis): Avon, Discovery Toys, Tupperware, Wildtree, Longaberger, Passion Parties, Silpada Designs, Mary Kay, Stampin' Up, Arbonne, Pampered Chef, Southern Living at Home, Thirty One Gifts, Close to My Heart, and more....

What is a Multi-Vendor Quarter Auction©?
It is a copyrighted event created by the National Direct Sales Network for their network chapters. It is a charitable event that we use to raise funds for our favorite charity, the Child Wellness Community Fund (you can learn more about what they do at www.childwellnessfair.com .) Our vendors donate products to the charity for the silent raffle, and the CWF representatives often have items in the auction line up as well. This is not a money making event of any kind for our vendors. It is an event to help raise funds for our charity, move excess product we have, and meet new and potential customers for our businesses!

How do I play? How do I win?
Bring a bag or rolls of quarters (for reference, an average of $35 or so will allow you to bid on everything, if you wanted to.) One by one, items are held up for guests to bid on. You bid on items for only 1,2,3 or 4 quarters based on the retail value of the item! Once everyone bids, and you can win items for only a quarter or two when your paddle # is called!! This excitement is AMAZING! You can even win multiple times!!! Last month, one of the guests one 4 times!!! You never know what will happen!!

REMINDERS FOR MAY QUARTER AUCTION:

1. $1.00 admission at the door ($1 is per paddle)
2. Bring a little extra $ for the Kids in Kenya raffle.
3. Bring friends & win a chance to be QUEEN OF THE NIGHT & bid the entire night (in June) for FREE! One chance per new guest you bring!

Come support the ODSN© and our monthly charitable fundraiser for the Child Wellness Community Fund!

Today!

2009-04-11T11:19:00.005-04:00

well I'm 37 today! woo hoo! lol. had an ok week. some disappointing things happened at my full time job but oh well, i'll get over it!

last night we took patsy out for her 40th and beth, val, eric, dave, tom, will and beth were all able to join us for at least part of the night. we had a good time!

i worked on 2 projects this week. The small box is my second altered project (my first being a paint can last year) but i made this box b/c I never bought anything to put my grandma's ashes in. morbid i know, but I decided to make something myself instead of buying something. not sure if i'm going to add anything more to it or not.

the other was Patsy's birthday gift! We've been friends for almost 19 years! unfortunately many of the pictures of us i couldnt use b/c one of us (or both) were a little uh, "intoxicated" at the time! haha! but i found some i could use.

Happy Easter everyone!

Apparently I don't know how old I am!

2009-04-06T19:33:00.004-04:00

Ok, so today I'm working on my April newsletter (link to the right). Because of my bday Saturday, I offered my yearly special of certain items discounted to the percent equal to my age.

So I send my newsletter out mentioning the items and offering a 38% discount in honor of my 38th bday. Nice of me huh?

Except I'm not going to be 38! I'm going to be 37! Are you kidding me? How do I make myself a year older? AND not realize it till 3 hours later? Seriously?

uggh. oh well!

I didn't get projects done today, but I'm going to work tonight on what projects I want to work on when I go to Tahoe later this month so I can order the pictures I need.

I did however take a couple pics of part of my craft corner, and of one of our furry kids that loves my scrapbooking chair, and as you can tell by the look on his face, he was thinking I was going to make him move, and he wasn't happy about it!

So that was my Monday!

Sort of a productive day

2009-04-05T23:01:00.004-04:00

well i still had some neck pain today, but we promised our daughter we'd go bowling so we did that today! it was wierd to not have guard rehearsal with it being Sunday! I must admit I loved my lazy weekend!

Today i attempted a weaved basket out of one piece of 12 X 12 cardstock which didn't come out too good,but for my first attempt wasnt too bad! I got the patten off of splitcoasters.

i finished two layouts today as well. one from our Christmas Disney vacation in 2007 and one from 2008 with my daughter's formal pictures.

I'm off tomorrow and have a ton of errands to run and some work for my full time job to do, but hopefully I'll get some stuff done tomorrow!

Have a good week!

Some of the England Layouts!

2009-04-04T16:32:00.012-04:00

Here are some of the layouts I was talking about in the intro blog!!

Also Today

2009-04-04T15:52:00.004-04:00

Today is also a sad day. One year ago today, 2 Colerain firefighters lost their lives in the line of duty. Captain Robin Broxterman and firefighter Brian Schira. It was the first time in many many years a firefighter in Colerain had lost their lives in the line of duty, and the community really pulled together during this tragedy. We remember them today, and every day.

Well here I am!

2009-04-04T15:40:00.007-04:00

So I decided to jump into the world of blogging! We'll see how this goes! I hope everyone enjoys it, but please have some patience with me as I get it up and running!

I'm going to try and post some pictures of my England scrapbook. My mother treated me to a trip to England last September. The book took me about 4 months to complete, and I'm pretty proud of it! (although I am a bit irriated, after I got the whole book together and reorganized my scrap area, I found a layout I had put to the side because I was frustrated with it! So I have to finish that one now!)

I'm working on a slideshow to show the whole thing, but its a huge book and it will take me a while! Check back!

I received my summer idea books yesterday, I am so excited! Lots of new product! Check back for kick off date and National Scrapbooking Day workshop!!!
