Why You Should Join CTMH and My Team...

As posted yesterday, there is a fabulous recruiting offer that will take place during March.  I have been a Close To My Heart Consultant for over 16 years and still love it as much (and maybe more) than I did then.

There are so many great things to love about this company as a Consultant, including the fabulous products, getting a discount on your purchases, and being the first to know about the newest product releases and campaigns.  But more importantly, I LOVE the many people I have met over the years who have helped make this a fun journey!

I am finishing up a team retreat this weekend.  We get together various times throughout the year be it at trainings, retreats or conventions.  There is always sure to be fun and creativity whenever we get together.  It is one of the things I live for.

Debi won Left Center Right, collecting on some fun paper!

Terry winning Left Center Right Game.  Check out all the fun embellishments!

My She Art creation.

Having lived far away from my upline's, I am sure to include my long distance team members in our fun events - even from afar.

If you have any questions about joining this fun journey, let me know!  You will love the fun!

Stay warm today!

October 2014 Heartfelt Sentiments Team Training

We had a great time gathering at Crafty Creations Retreat in Mansfield, Texas for a day-long team training a couple of weeks ago (October 18).  The day was jam-packed with various holiday projects and lots of fun!

Close To My Heart Consultants joined me from across the DFW-metroplex area as well as East Texas.  (I flew in from Northwest New Mexico.)

We enjoyed a delicious lunch, complete with Chicken Taco Soup, homemade guacamole - all made by our hostess with the mostess, Angie, and Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake (from the Cheesecake Factory).  I was ready for a nap after lunch but that was impossible; we had fun stuff to create!  :)

Debi & I

I LOVE getting together with my team and make every attempt to do so when I can.  The fun, laughter and creativity abound at every gathering opportunity and it never lasts long enough, nor happens often enough, but I will take what I can get.

Contact me if you would like to join the fun!  I have team members across the country and do what I can to remain in contact with them in support of their businesses.

Happy Tuesday!
