Digi Crop & Storms

Last night I met some girls for a Digi Crop at the biggest Starbucks I've ever been in! This place was HUGE and I'm sure there are probably bigger ones out in Seattle, but for Cumming, GA I thought it was pretty good. It was a great spot; plenty of plugs and a large table for all of us. Then the storms came! Wow, what a lightning show! But what a great way to spend a rainy Friday evening. I made a card for my son's VBS volunteers:

Gatlinburg, TN

Happy Monday! My son and I just got back from spending a few days in Gatlinburg, TN with my parents. We had a fun time with Nana and Poppy! Got some great pictures which will make a great storybook :o) We have stayed at the same motel for years; Marshall's Creek Rest which is cheap, clean and within walking distance of everything. We have our favorite restaurants picked out that we eat at every time we visit. Applewood for breakfast, Park Grill for dinner (best kids menu anywhere; $.75 per year of age!), Dixie Stampede show that my son LOVED with horses, racing pigs and even ostriches! We also spent a day at Dollywood riding the rides and even saw a Veggie Tales show since Kids Fest is going on right now. I love Dollywood; very family oriented, clean and the people that work there actually seem to enjoy it!

There is a neat HM story that I must share with you. The last day of our trip we decided to drive up the mountain on Ski Mountain Road to a restaurant called Mojitos in the Mountains. I wasn't too sure about it since we were the only people there. But we went in and the nicest lady (Laura) greeted us and showed us to the cutest dining room. We had the best breakfast and service! When my dad was settling up the bill he noticed there were various business cards up by the cash register. He suggested that I leave some of my HM cards. Laura asked what I do so I told her about HM and showed her one of my books. I always carry my books everywhere! She was SUPER excited and got chill bumps just from seeing my Vacation 2007 book! She asked if she could buy my book right then and there! I said sure, that I could order another copy. She bought my book and took some marketing materials to place by the cash register. Already I could tell that ideas were spinning in her head. She suggested having a Girls' Weekend and Digi Crop in Gatlinburg. Mojitos has free wi-fi so it would be perfect. I'm looking forward to planning this with Laura and hopefully some of you will join us for a weekend of cropping!

Celebrating Sisters!

Thank you to Mimi Long and Heidi Miracle-McMahill for hosting a very successful Heritage Makers Celebration! We celebrated sisters, moms, friends (and even a couple of Pugs) at Mimi's home in Dalton, GA. These ladies are some of the first people (that I know of) in the Dalton area to learn about HM and they are very excited!!! Mimi and Heidi's Celebration was over $500 so Heidi earned $100 in FREE products and Mimi earned a FREE 5x5 Storybook credit just for hosting! What a great way to get started on their projects!

We had so much fun at Mimi's the other evening! And hosting a Celebration is an awesome way to get together with friends and family (some you may not have seen in a while) plus earn FREE credits toward projects that you want to create :o)

Call me at 404.729.0388 to book a Celebration or a Workshop today. Summer dates are filling up fast!

Market Winner!

This past Saturday I had a booth at the new Union Hill Exchange. Man, was it HOT! There were lots of vendors and lots of folks shopping since it was opening day for the Market. I had a drawing for a FREE 5x5 storybook credit and congratulations to LYNN TAYLOR of Woodstock, GA...her name was drawn as the winner! As it turns out, Lynn and I live in the same neighborhood and we didn't even know it! Lynn is very excited to share HM with her daughter who is home from college and loves to scrapbook.
