Leadership News 2009



Hello Blogging Friends! I am home from the amazing 2009 Leadership Conference. I am so excited to share my Close To My Heart News with you! There is so much news I don't know where or how to start so I will break it down- Step by Step!


New Idea Book- IT IS BEAUTIFUL! It has a new format that has larger photos of artwork and stamp sets making it easier than ever to see details. Our new papers and stamps are beautiful. The idea book goes LIVE on September 1st. I am having an NEW CATALOG PARTY on September 2nd. If you are local, please make plans to attend. Details at www.missgingerdots.myctmh.com!


Studio J- You think you like Digital Scrapbooking? Wait until you hear about STUDIO SCRAPBOOKING! Close To My Heart has released a new way of scrapbooking online and it will be like no other! It is scheduled to be released in the first quarter of 2110. In the mean time visit www.studioj.com! Bring out the tissues!


Chocolate University- I organized a training day for my team that attended Leadership. We called it Chocolate University. FUN, FUN, FUN! I have such a great team of leaders and consultants that are so willing to share. It truly is a sisterhood. We made beautiful My Creation Albums using Level 1 Paper Packets! Don't I have a great looking team? I am so proud of them and we are looking for fun new people to join us! Email me for details!


Operation Smile Artwork- As many of you know, our company supports Operation Smile. At leadership, they had a silent auction, with all proceeds going to Operation Smile. (www.operationsmile.org) I was honored to be asked to create some artwork to be auctioned off! I created an acrylix album in the shape of a little girl's dress. It auctioned for over $100. I am so happy and honored to be able to contribute to this charity! I will post photos of the inside of this project at a later time!

Director's Night at Disneyland- The directors of Close To My Heart were honored with an evening at Disney. We all got a fast pass to go on a ride of our choice- Terror of Tower, California Screamin' or Soarin' Over California (aka- the grandma ride) I chose the Grandma ride and I still had white knuckles. But, boy was it a fun ride. I am so thankful to work for such a generous company that rewards performance. Thank you Jeanette!

Ribbons and Awards- I love ribbons. That was my WHY- when I started building my business. My first convetnion, I only had a nametag- no ribbons. Each year I strive for more ribbons. I had to post a photo of my ribbons that I received at Leadership. I knew my team would get a kick out this photo as I always share the ribbon story. Aren't they pretty?


Awards Night at Leadership- Another evening that I love at leadership is Awards Night. This is the night that the top performers in the company are honored! I was so proud of my team and myself!
