Workshop Cards

It's been a while since I've shared! I have been so busy it seems and then I got sick this past weekend. :( Ran a fever of 102 for three days, sinus infection, coughing...you name it! I am finally feeling just okay...still some coughing and headache but not as bad as earlier this week!

These are cards we have done at the last couple of workshops.

This one we used Platinum Shimmer Paint and sponge daubers....really cool way to accent any card!

Michigan Minglers Meet this Saturday


I know that I shouldn't post my door prize but thought you might enjoy it.

No, it's not made with SU stuff but some stuff I had here and thought it would be cute. :)

It's an 8 x 8 shadow box...perfect for putting little memorabilia in and scrapping a couple family pics to boot!

What are you doing with your time?

Time management is a problem now-a-days! Computer, technology, sports, etc. have all side lined us for time!

What have I done differently? I have been using a calendar consistently to help with organization of everything happening in my life these days. And I have found I can't say YES to everything that comes my way. I have to choose how, when and where to spend my time. Does it work all the time? NOPE! But I think I am getting better at it!

Life is about balance and balance is about having the right amount of everything in your life. You have to have "me" time (and no that is not being self-centered, it's about renewing). What other "time" can you think of? God! Family! Friends! Fun! Relaxation! Quiet!

Get a calendar today...doesn't have to be extravagant...a monthly one will do! I have mine hanging here by my desk at work. I also have a small one that I carry with me so I can take with to schedule different events: workshops, Red Hats, church events, family time, etc. Then make wise choices to balance what you are filling your time with!

And remember...ME time is not a dirty word! :)

What's to come???

Clear Stamps

With so many questions about the clear stamps I decided to post this link to SU! Youtube site that talks specifically about clear stamps, mounting, etc.

http://www.youtube.com/stampinupvideo#p/u/8/2RQOdcXi1IQ

I am excited about this as this makes it so much easier to store and transport than the bulkier cases. Take a look and see what you think!

Act IV - Overcoming Nos

Act IV is all about overcoming Nos...Hard Nos....Soft Nos...

Hard Nos are a definite NO! They just are not interested...period!

Soft Nos are kind of a hemming/hawing NO...they just aren't sure at this time, not confident in their abilities, etc.

Nos are for both booking and recruiting! Some may book, book, book but they are just not interested in being a demonstrator. Some may be willing to do both.

We must look at the positive with the negative! They are NOT turning down YOU but the product/service. It's NOT to be taken personally, even though we, as humans, hate rejection.

And, of course, there is the opposite end of the spectrum...YES! This is so exciting when people say YES to booking and/or recruiting! They are excited about what you are sharing with them...and they want to share too!

Here is my MDS for Overcoming Nos...my NO jar and my YES jar...they are self-explanatory!




Are you interested into becoming a YES butterfly???
