Where have I been?

Wow, it' been like, um, forever since I last posted! I've been around, but things have been keeping me busy (such as my other blog). I did want to post a quick message out here to let you all know that I am still around. I've had to postpone my crops for a little while as all my CM stuff has been packed up as we move some rooms in our house. However, once I get that straightened out, I'll be adding some more casual crops back to the calendar. Then, I'll take some time off in October, November and maybe December when I have baby #2.

In the meantime, my web site is always open and you can always email me with questions. Also, if you order Storybook Creator Plus 3.0 (on its own or part of the Digital Collections) through me and you live in the local area, I will come to your house for a 90 minute tutorial on how to use it....for free!

Oh, and if you are a Disney fan, be sure to check out the new products this month--Creative Memories has released some great Disney themed items for both traditional and digital scrapbooking.

Crops and National Scrapbook Day!

First off, I've cleared my calendar of my scheduled crops. It seems I just have bad planning karma! Everytime I set a date, something comes up. Never fear, I will have crops again, I just need to get my calendar straightened out. Also, I probably won't have any crops from October until the end of the year as my second baby is due in October.

Okay, now here is an event that is DEFINITELY going to happen! My CM Team is getting together for National Scrapbook Day! On May 15th (that's a Saturday), we'll be having a crop from 10am until 10pm at Greater Portland Bible Church. The cost is $40 for a full day and $20 for a half day, with a $5 discount if you bring a dish for the potluck. You will, of course, have space to crop, snacks, meals and goodies! Since a number of consultants are coming together for this event, it will be a BIG group! If you are interested, either RSVP on my website or contact me for more details.

Yet another change in crop dates....

It's true...nothing is written in stone! My upline consultant is having a team meeting the same day I had scheduled my February crop, so I've had to switch things around a little. The new dates are:
March 7
April 25
May 23
June 27

Phew! The good news is that by moving the February Crop into March (and, um, getting rid of the previously scheduled March crop) is that new product will be available! Woo hoo!

No January Casual Crop

Just a quick FYI here....

I've had to cancel my January Casual Crop due to a personal conflict popping up on that date. However, the other Casual Crops are still on my calendar....
February 28
March 21
April 25
May 23
June 27

Wow! Is it 2010 already?

Yeesh! I can't believe that I haven't posted since November! What have I been doing all that time? Well, there was all that holiday fun...and, of course, I've been working on getting my pictures organized in Memory Manager! I am proud to say that I have everything from February 2009 (when my daughter was born) to the present done and, frankly, anything before that is low on the priority list right now.

Now, onto 2010. I've scheduled my casual crops for the first part of the year. They are all at my home and the dates are:
January 31
February 28
March 21
April 25
May 23
June 27

These are all up on my personal website here. If there are any changes to this schedule, it will appear both on my website and I'll post something here. Also, please RSVP if you are planning to come. There are times when I have to cancel an event on short notice (low attendance, sick child, other unexpected event) and only the people who have RSVP'd will get the note.

Another fun thing to pass on...are you looking for some digital help? Check out Creative Memories Webinars for some great trainings. I've gone through all of these and have found them to be incredibly helpful. They can be up to an hour, but you can always pause them and finish them later.

Please remember that you can always email me if you have any questions, comments, or ideas. Also, my website is always open!

Next Casual Crop

The holidays are crazy, aren't they? Since my November seems to be chalked up, I'm not going to have a crop that month. Instead, I'm going to move my crops from the month-ends to the month-beginnings and will hold my next crop on Sunday, December 6th at my house. If you are in the Hillsboro, Oregon area and want to join us, you can RSVP on my CM website or email me for more info.
