OK, so I know that some of you who read my blog, already recieved this email. But there are those who read my blog that I don't have email addresses for. So you are just going to have to deal with it. :)

My upline for Close to my Heart, is offering an incentive trip, for those who make a certain amount of sales in the month of June. The trip? An all expense paid trip to Maui!!! I forgot to put in my email that I have a 1/5 chance of winning. Yeah, not bad odds huh?

So if you scrapbook or stamp, or if you know someone who does....please place an order! Think of birthdays, Christmas gifts and more. Close to my Heart has such a huge variety of great products that you can choose from.

For all those who place an order, I will enter you in a drawing for a 12x12 dark cocoa album.

You can order through my site ( the link is on the side of my blog)or call and/or email me with an order. If you have any questions please ask. And if you could pass this onto any friends who scrapbook,it would be much appreciated.

**Ben doesn't think I can get enough sales,so help me prove him wrong ok?!

whew...

There were a lot of times this week when I had planned to sit down and update. But the week just got away from me. It has been such a busy week and this one looks like it is shaping up to be one also. But here is just some of the stuff that has been going on...

Friday night I had a Close to my Heart party. It went wonderful! I was so happy. I have alot of bookings and people who want to join a hostess club that I will be doing. I need 9 people and I had 5 sign up! So fun, so exciting. It was just...fun. One lady had never scrapbooked before and so we made a page, and she said, " I am so proud of my first page! Thank you!!" Feels good...

On Saturday, we got up and grocery shopped, cleaned house and all that fun stuff. Harmony made brownies and I started cooking to take things up to Harmony's briding ceremony.

The ceremony started at 3. We headed up there with the boys who were not at all eager to be there. Other little boys were running around and I made them sit on the couch. Because after all, they were there to support their sister. They were so not happy! I tried to get a picture of the pouting but all I got were hands covering faces.

Harmony is no longer a Brownie scout. Once the girls go from one level to the next, they have to cross a bridge into the next one. Harmony actually helped sand the bridge she is standing on! She was cute and it was fun to see her with the other juniors. They all got awards and new badges. ( Christy, remember the lady with the blue hair? Yesterday she died it a nice bubble gum pink!)

The asian girl is Harmony's best friend Victoria. They are in the same class at school and also in her troop. I have to make sure to get her number so the girls can hang out this summer. They have a blast together.

Well by the end of the day...one little boy had had enough. Ivan's favorite thing to do ( and Mommy's biggest pet peeve)is to lift the cushions up and hang out in there. Ben and I had been upstairs when we realized something was wrong. Ivan was making no noise. And that was how we found him!

Sunday was full of a lot of Indiana Jones. Ben bought me all the dvd's. However Connor loves them! He asked me the other day, " Mom, can you change my name to Indiana Jones?" So every now and then if I call him Connor, he rolls his eyes and says, "my name is Indiana Jones!" This morning, I went in to wake him up, and I whispered his name. With eyes barely open he says, " no Mom, I am Indiana Jones." The Indiana Jones fever has struck the boys. Connor wants to be Indiana Jones for Halloween. Although he has let me know that, " you can't be him if you don't have a hat!" So we are going to look around for awhile and see if we can find something.

Lots going on this week. I have about a hundred emails to respond too. So I am going to try to get things done. This is kind of random, I realize, it has just been a crazy week!

insecurities

Tonight I will be teaching my very first scrapbooking 101 class. I am not sure how many people are attending, so I don't know how many I will be teaching. But, even though I have been excited about this...I feel nervous. I really do love scrapbooking. I didn't start selling CTMH to make money (Ben's dreams of me being his Sugar Mama are slowly dying...) it was just so I could teach people. And now that it comes down to it...I am scared of rejection. What if people look at my pages and say, " yikes she is not very good at this so why would I want her to teach me?" I know that I am the only one on this planet with a fear of rejection but...I just don't want to be the reason why people don't scrapbook. Maybe I am just reading way too much into this....
