Great Team building week!

Hello All!

I didn't conduct any Noah's Ark Animal Workshops nor Bella Bee Glamour Girl Workshops, but I did have 3 new people join my team!!! One on my first level, one on my second level, and one on my third level! All in all, I have 36 people in my 3 levels below me! My goal is 100 by the end of the year. AND, since we are on this topic, this is the last week of the special $29 joining fee. Please feel free to visit my website: www.MakeYourOwnStuffedAnimal.com if you would like more info. Also, if you haven't looked at my website lately (or at all), they were just redone this week. I REALLY like the changes. I like color and "pretty" looking sites, and I think mine has both. Just a little biased, I know. :)

On a personal note, I will be heading off to my parent's home for Easter. BUT, before I leave town, I have 5 workshops. 2 childcare centers, 2 Girl Scout workshops, and 1 birthday party. Yea! Nothing like being able to leave town with some money in hand. Wow, what would I do without the income from Noah's Ark? Gotta' love it. This job has truly enabled me (and my family, of course) to do the extra things.

I also had only one free weekend open in April, and I booked a birthday party workshop for that this week, as well. So, now my next free open weekend is May 5th. Yea! Oh, and in April I have a new ad coming out with a local birthday party website. I am excited to see how that ad pans out. I bought it for a year as it is a top site when I do searches for local birthday party entertainment! A sweet brother and sister team run it.

Well, I am home alone right now, so I think I am going to get off the computer and do some brain vege-ing (watch tv). I don't watch much tv as I think most of the shows are just horrid. But maybe I can find a chick-flick on. :)

Have a blessed rest of the weekend and a glorious week!

Ciao!

Noah's Ark Animal Workshop

Hello!
It's been a nice, relaxing week. I didn't have any workshops this week. It is Spring Break here and things were slow. I didn't even have that many phone calls. BUT, I do have 2 new team members on my first level, and 3 on my second level. Yea! We have a special joining fee (starter kit) for only $29, so that is helping with recruiting. You interested- check out my website for more info: www.MakeYourOwnStuffedAnimal.com
So, the most awesome thing this week was seeing the Patriot Guard Riders in action. I was on my way to the nursery when I saw hundreds upon hundreds upon hundreds of motorcyclists heading down the highway with police escorts. AND, the entire freeway was shutdown. I was on the phone with my dad who told me that they are a group of motorcyclists that attend soldiers funerals! Wow- I had goose bumps from head to toe. Anyway, if you care to learn more info, just google Patriot Guard Riders and their site will come up. I applaud them!
Back to work this week- I have one birthday party workshop on Saturday. Also, I just placed a large order to replenish my stock, so I will be checking in inventory. That is fun, though, as my son helps me count everything and put it all away. He is such a great helper. See, what other job can your 4 year old child help you with? Only Noah's Ark Animal Workshop!
Well, must go finish up some last minute house work before I have to start dinner. Here's to a great and blessed week!
Ciao!

PS The picture above is a Noah's Ark hot air balloon. Just thought it made for a nice, peaceful picture. It was at the Albuquerque Hot Air Balloon Fiesta this last year. Enjoy.

Noah's Ark Animal Workshop

Hi! Hope this finds everyone well! My son had a relapse of the crud-bug and I was still not 100%. BUT, all is better now and it was a great week for business. I had a great Farm-Day workshop for a child care center in Mineral Wells, Texas. It was a blast and the center went all out for the event. The children chose from "domestic" farm animals, so there were many cows, pigs, cats, dogs, horses, and bunnies that came to "life" this week. Then, it has been a non-stop weekend. I had a booth at a daycare convention (in which I booked several daycare workshops), a last minute birthday party for a sweet 4 year old on Saturday, and then a very fun birthday party for a precious 5 year old today. The little girl today was so sweet and the family was just so nice. The mom and dad (and brother) were so friendly. It sometimes makes me sad that I will not ever see some of my customers again because there are truly some of them that I know I would enjoy as friends in my life. AND, some of the little children are just so wonderful that I would love for them to be playmates with my son. Wow- what a "problem" to have!
This is Spring Break week for me. I actually do not have any Noah's Ark Animal Workshops or Bella Bee Glamour Girl Workshops this week. I do have, of course, things to do for my business here at home, but no actual workshops. I guess that means I have to do some Spring cleaning. I must also get to the lawn before the weeds take over.
Well, this time change is going to take a while to get used to- it is 12:40am. Yikes!!! Must get to bed. Hope everyone has a blessed week!
Ciao!

Texas Noah's Ark Animal Workshop

Hello! I hope this finds everyone well. It was inevitable- I did get quite sick this week. Made for a LONG week. I did have to hand off my Bella Bee party to one of my local team members. I'm so glad to have local members to lean on. I felt so bad not being able to do a party that I booked, but I was (and am still) quite sick. I wouldn't have been able to give 100%.
I did do 2 Noah's Ark Animal Workshops this week. One was for a local child care center. It was so fun and the children were so excited and sweet- and the center was so clean and inviting. AND the assistant director was just awesome! A big thank you to her for all her great help. They took pictures of all the kids with their new cuddly friends.
And, my other workshop was a birthday party for an adorable 10 year old! I know I say this every week, but all of the kids and parents are just awesome. Truly, what other job is there where everyone is so excited to have you arrive and you get to bring such fun and joy to kids lives?!?!? I am so blessed to have found this opportunity. And, I don't know if I have ever thanked my husband, as well. He is so great for taking on the job as main parent while I work on the weekends. But here again, unless I have 2 workshops back to back, I am not gone from home but just a few hours.
Also, there are 2 new crew members added to my team this week. Both on my 2nd level. One is local and attended both workshops with me this week. Thank you so much for all your help, Shannon! You were a blessing to me this week. I am so excited to see you get your business up and going! Oops, just remembered, I need to send you 2 forms.
Well, must get to bed as I didn't sleep all that well last night. The decongestant kept me awake most of the night and then my son woke up with gunk in his eyes. Yes, he has the "cold" in his eyes now. Not pretty. Very contagious. Good thing I am on antibiotics right now. Told you, LONG week.
This week is one daycare on Wednesday and one birthday party and one daycare conference. Plus, I hope to add some more members to my team!!! Wish me luck. AND, for any of you interested, we still have the $29 starter kit available until March 16th.
Ciao!
