Spa Party for Girls in DFW; Children Entertainment in Keller, Texas

On the way to one of my December workshops, my son and I saw the Oscar Meyer Weiner car. We had to stop and take a picture!!

A late Merry Christmas and early Happy New Year to all!

I hope this finds everyone doing well and hangin' in there. A huge praise (especially when it comes to my job of traveling to homes and child care centers for in home child entertainment) is the huge drop in the price of gas!!! Alleluia! My profits are no longer going straight to my gas tank.

Looking back at the year in review, the highlight (in my business) was, of course, being named Noah's Ark Workshop Leader of the Year- "Miss Noah's Ark". I still keep my crown, sash, and plaque on my dresser where I see it everyday. Even a 43 year old woman still likes the idea of wearing a crown! :)

A speaking of crowns, my Bella Bee Glamour Girl Workshop business has been picking up immensely lately. Partly because I am getting repeat customers and now they want to try out the Make-up Parties (for my girl customers, that is). I really do enjoy my Bella Bee parties as I am very much a girly-girl at heart. It also allows me some "girl" time as I have two very burly "boys" at home.

My Bella Bee parties consist of the guests putting on AND keeping 4 make-up products: nail polish, glitter stick for the cheeks, lip gloss, and a sparkly body gel. They also receive a cute, fuzzy purse to keep it all in AND a fashion accessory- either a feather boa, a crown, or a sparkly head band and neck band. I also take my own eye shadow and do the girls eyes, as well as, add a "fashion show" at the end, which the girls just love (it makes a great picture opportunity, as well).

It's a sweet alternative for girls and moms (and dads) that don't want too much of the "worldly" influence on the girls. I can tailor these parties to guests as young as 4 and have done them for 10-11 years old, as well. It is fun to dress up and put on make-up, but it doesn't have to be too grown up. There is much to be said about keeping the innocence of our young girls for as long as possible!

My stuffed animal parties are still as popular as ever! I am totally booked for January and am working on February and March now. And, it is time to start contacting the child care centers for their summer activities, as well.

My team is also doing well (up to 200 in my downline now)! I feel a bit out of touch with them having been gone on vacation (Disney World was awesome!). I also don't like to bug them too much this time of year. I'm ready to start back fresh next Monday. OH, and my company is announcing some new products (summer animals) next Monday, as well!!! Woo-Hoo!!! I'm very excited. I'm really hoping for a Zebra Bear or what I will call a "ZeBear"!

Well, I caught my son's cold so I must get back to bed. I just wanted to post one more time before the year ended! Wishing everyone a blessed and safe and Happy New Year!!!

Ciao!

New Noah's Ark Workshop Party Leaders in the Plano and Euless, Texas area

Hello all,
It's been a great week. Some of my first level team members recruited people this past week!! Congratulations to Laurie Stein of Dallas, Texas and Lisa Floyd of Glenn Heights, Texas. AND, a big welcome to their new recruits: Kari Aldredge of Plano, Texas and Ebony Coleman of Euless, Texas.

As we grow, we are able to offer our wonderful Noah's Ark Workshops to more and more people in the DFW metroplex.

With the colder months arriving, a Noah's Ark Workshop is a great indoor birthday party entertainment option. We offer entertainment with a product- so you get two for the price of one. And, our workshops really do keep children of all ages engaged and entertained. Since we do come in and take over your party for about an hour, this allows you, as the host mommy, the opportunity to enjoy your party, take pictures/video, and just visit with your guests.

Call or visit my website today for more information:

Top notch children's party entertainment in the Dallas and Ft. Worth areas.

Child Birthday Party Entertainment in Colleyville, Arlington, Mansfield, and San Antonio, Texas

I'm taking the time today to just explain what it is I do....

In a nutshell- I am a child entertainer. BUT, with me, my customers get entertainment AND a product! So, it's two for one, therefore, saving my customers money.

But, exactly WHAT do I do? My company took the ever popular "Build-a-Bear" concept and made two big changes to it:
1. We take the fun to our customers- homes, schools, activity centers, churches, etc...
2. The children actually stuff the animals with their own hands- which they LOVE!

A typical birthday party workshop takes approximately an hour. I take over the party, thus giving the host mom time to take pictures, tend to her guests, and just enjoy the party.

I gather the children together and we do a stuffing party- it starts with a show-n-tell of all the animals, then the choosing of the animals, the stuffing of the animals, a wishing star (kind of like a heart for the animal) ceremony, and finally, the naming of the animals. I also have some sort of arts-n-crafts activity that I add to keep the kids busy while each child names their new "furry" friend.

It's a very well received entertainment option and all the attending parents always ask the host mom, "Where did you find this idea? It was great!".

Of course, that makes the host mom feel wonderful! It's such an awesome job. I always leave with a huge smile on my face and in my heart. I know, it sounds so corny, but it's true! I am such a people person and I love children. Being a teacher is such a great background for this position.

NOW, I also train other wonderful women to do this job, as well. To date, I have 162 awesome people on my team. So, I also get to "teach" adults, as well.

I have wonderful team members all over the US. And, I am especially blessed to have some great ones here in the DFW area, as I have to pass along many workshops to them since I am so busy. On my next post, I plan to start showcasing my team members!

So that is what I do- entertain and teach- two things I absolutely love. So please, if you are interested in booking me or my team for a workshop, be sure to book early. And, if you are interested in the Noah's Ark Workshop Career Opportunity, you can join now for only $10 (thru the end of the year).

Ciao!

Children's Birthday Party Entertainment in San Antonio, Houston, and Longview Texas

Well, it is time to brag on my wonderful Texas Noah's Ark Workshop team (other state team members in my next blog)!
I have an awesome group of women under me that are loving, caring, fun women! Many have turned into great friends that I talk with weekly and even daily.

If you are looking for an alternative to Build-a-Bear or Libby Lu, then let one of my awesome team members take care of your entertainment for your child's next birthday party!

We offer entertainment along with wonderful products for your guests to take home- thus, you don't need to purchase any take home goody-bags. So, with us- you get two things for the price of one.

Also, our products are VERY well made. I know- I have to say that because it's my products. But, I do really promise- our products are awesome. EVERY customer I have ever served (and it's been hundreds and hundreds, maybe even thousands), have absolutely LOVED our products. Our animals are soft, very cute, and large. We are NOT like those animals you get out of the "claw-type" machines.

So, on to my awesome TEXAS Child Party Entertainers.

San Antonio team members- Brenda Campbell and Sandra Contreras.
Both sweet, caring women (moms), who love children. They serve the entire San Antonio area and are available everyday.
You can contact them through their websites:
http://www.noahsarkworkshop.com/BrendaCampbell3159
http://www.noahsarkworkshop.com/SandraContreras3205

Houston team members- Angela Bolin, Marisol Martinez, and Stacy Hajdik.
Here again, wonderful, caring moms that enjoy bringing joy and fun to children!
http://www.noahsarkworkshop.com/AngelaBolin3451
http://www.noahsarkworkshop.com/MarisolMartinez3370
http://www.noahsarkworkshop.com/StacyHajdik4039

And, my sweet and kind mommy rep in East Texas- Terri Smith.
She serves Longview and Tyler and all the little towns out there in East Texas.
http://www.noahsarkworkshop.com/TerriSmith3453

I do have other reps in the Waco area and Corpus Christi area, but I have not received their permission to list them here.

AND, I have reps all over the Dallas and Ft. Worth area, as well.

So, let us take away the stress of your child's next birthday party and give us a call!

Cioa,
Regina Boyett

Child Birthday Entertainment Keller, Grapevine, Arlington, Texas

Woo-Hoo! My crazy summer is over! It was a great summer, but a busy one. I think it finally caught up to me today as I finally had a day to relax and I took about 3 naps. It was go, go, go for 3 straight months and it is nice to have some time off.

On a personal note, we have officially started back to our homeschooling today. My son is now 6 and we are doing 1st grade work now. We do our reading, writing, and math everyday and add science, geography, history, and social studies once a week. Did you know we have two layers of skin? The epidermis and the dermis. Can you tell today was science day? :)

Back to business now. I had 5 people join Noah's Ark Workshop the last few weeks of summer. I am working on helping them get their business going. Also, I have a few workshops this month, as well. I am trying to not do too many workshops these next two months as I am just tired and a bit worn out. I want to always be fresh and excited for my workshops and I need time to rejuice the entertainer in me. :)

Not much else going on. We are just working on getting into the groove of homeschooling. We supplement with 4 different classes outside of our home. It's great to be able to have a business that I can sit in my car and work. I get a lot of stuff done while waiting on my son to finish his classes.

Must get to bed now. I took all those naps, but I am still tired. I hope to be all caught up on sleep by next week as it is time to start working out in the mornings again.

Ciao,

Colleyville, Flower Mound Child Birthday Entertainment

Hello!
Wow! It's the last week of summer (meaning school starts in a week). I have EIGHT more Noah's Ark Workshops this week! It has been a GREAT summer, but I am looking forward to having some time off. All together I think I have done 60+ workshops in 3 months. There were several weeks where I worked 8-9 straight before I had a day off. Can you say tired!?!?!?

It has been a blessing, though. My husband's car had some problems and I was able to pay CASH ($900) to get it fixed. My son's birthday is coming up soon, and I am also paying all cash for his entire party (and we do a BIG party)! Also, I have been able to pay for a handyman to fix a few things around the house. AND, I was able to pay cash (debit card) for airline tickets to go visit my family for Thanksgiving. AND, I still have quite a bit of money left that I am sticking in savings. It is so nice to make money doing something that I love!!!

It has also been a great summer for my team building. I have 4-5 new team members that have joined on this summer and they are all so nice! It is so nice to make new friends while working the business, as well.

Well, my hubby and son are out for a while. So I am going to go take a nap. Oooo- I love naps.

Ciao!

Southlake, Texas Child Party Entertainer wins Miss Noah's Ark Workshop

I had some head shots done the other day as "Miss Noah's Ark 2008". It was so much fun being a "Miss" of something. At age 43, that's the only crown this ole' body will ever win. Hee, hee!
Anyway, I am in the middle of an 8 day work "week". So, I must sign off for now. 21 more workshops to go before I am done for the Summer.

Miss Noah's Ark 2008

Keller Texas Noah's Ark Workshop- Convention

Hello All!
I am officially the 2008 Miss Noah's Ark- crown, sash, trophy, and all! I also won this HUGE Gingerbread Stuffed Animal!

I was in Chicago last weekend for the Noah's Ark Workshop National Convention. It was awesome! We have some great new products arriving this Fall/Winter and they include:
-a Ghost
-a Black Kitty (very, very soft)
-a Reindeer with a RED nose
-a Gingerbread
-Noah's Ark party paper goods: plates, cups, napkins, and table cloth
-Noah's Ark party favors in a cute box
-Noah's Ark logo t-shirts (for people- not the animals) that can be colored with cloth pens

I think that is it (that is all I can think of for now). I will be writing/posting a Summer Newsletter soon and that will have more details!

We also had two great speakers- Che Brown and Frank Price! Very motivating and inspirational! I am excited to share their info with my team! And, speaking of my team, I did have two team members join me at convention- Brenda Campbell from San Antonio, Texas and her daughter, Melissa Vandenberg (spelling?) from Indy. It was so nice to spend the weekend with them. They are both so sweet and fun!! I wish all my team could attend the convention!

On Saturday evening, there was a nice dinner followed by an awards time. I think I won 10 or 11 awards (I lost count after a while). But the very last award of the evening was given to the Crew Member that achieved in the top five within the company for sales and recruiting AND that was ME. It was awesome! It does take a lot to work both sides of the business and it was so nice to receive a reward from the company for that. AND, speaking of the company. I just love the owners, as well as, the ladies and gentlemen in the office. What an awesome family! It is hard to put into words exactly how the owners really and truly care and consider all of the crew members their own family. It is such a unique and wonderful situation they have created. I pray that God will continue to bless them and this company for many years to come!

Well, as usual, I am blogging at night and I must get to bed. I spent the day cleaning and doing all the stuff that didn't get done last weekend since I was gone. Man, I hate it when the "maid" goes away on vacation. :)

I hope everyone had a blessed 4th of July!!! It was nice to just stay home for a day. I have TONS of workshops this month and I am going to take this weekend to play catch up and get ready! Although, I am taking off Sunday and doing NOTHING!!! I have to be better about just taking a day to relax.

Ciao!

Noah's Ark Workshop National Convention!

Hello-
Well it's time to head off to Chicago again! This time there will be no snow! Yea! I'm actually hoping it's not too hot, though, as the heat here in Texas is quite bad this summer. I could use a nice 85 degree day.
The theme for this year's Noah's Ark Workshop National Convention is "Magical". I have been racking my brain to think of what this could possibly mean. It's killing me! I just love this convention because so many new things are announced. It's like Christmas in June!!!
I'm sure I'll post about all the new things when I return.
On a personal note, I am turning 43 this Sunday. AGH!!! I think I'll take 34 instead. I am celebrating by attending a "STOMP" concert. Front row seats with valet parking!!! I just love attending concerts, musicals, etc... My most memorable one, though, has to be one I attended while in London a while back. It was a very warm summer for London and they don't have much air conditioning- okay, they have NO air conditioning. Anyway, I was on a group tour and we had great seats; it was our last night in the UK; and during one scene of "Whistle down the Wind", they had actual fire on the stage. Well, since we had such great seats (close to the stage), the temperature, of course, went up about a zillion degrees. I remember thinking right before it happened, there is no way they are going to have a REAL fire. And, then, sure enough, as if it weren't hot enough in the auditorium, they added fire to the picture. It was so funny we just had to laugh and wipe off the sweat!!!
Well, I have two workshops tomorrow, so I must get off to bed.
Ciao!

Summer's almost here!!! Noah's Ark Workshop by Regina

Me in CA this past April!

Hello All!
Well, it was 98 degrees here in the DFW metroplex today, so I'm going to officially call it Summer!!! AND, since my child care center workshops kick in full force this week, as well, that is the start of my CRAZY Summer Business Season, as well.

I have been so blessed to book 51 workshops between now and the end of August!!!! I have my schedule all made- my family schedule, my babysitter schedule, my "make participation forms" and deliver participation forms schedule, my ordering schedule, etc... I think I am all ready.

The scary part is that I have to what I call "blind" order for the first 9-10 workshops because they all occur within the first two weeks of the summer session for the child care centers and most order forms are not due until ONE or TWO days before the actual workshop!!! Needless to say, my "blind" order is going to be HUGE!!!!!!! Annette (my upline) will LOVE her May commission check!!! Woo-hoo! I plan to redo my front bathroom with my extra money, as well. YEA!!!

Let's see, as for business news in general, I now have 147 people on my team. Yea!!! One of my team members is working on something "top secret"- hopefully I will get to share that news in my next blog. We now have Chapter Meetings which are informational meetings for ALL Noah's Ark Crew Members. I had my first meeting in April and have another in June. It is actually open to everyone- members and those interested in joining Noah's Ark- so if you are interested in attending the meeting, please contact me for more info!

On a more personal note, some of my team members have added to their "family" teams! Some have had beautiful babies and some have adopted blessed children! Congrats to all!

I guess my most exciting business news is the 4 workshops that I booked with a local group that hosts Summer Camps for children ages 5-21 that have intellectual and related developmental disabilities. I am looking so forward to those workshops. I will be sure to blog after those workshops to share my wonderful experience with everyone.

Finally, in closing, I just wanted to give a little history of my Noah's Ark journey:

1- I was the first representative in the entire state of Texas to work the Noah's Ark Workshop Biz- I am a founding member.

2- I am the top sales person with the company for the entire US (and have been off and on for the last 2 years).

3- I am one of the top recruiters with the company with a team of 147 under me.

4- I have received many awards throughout these last 4 years including:
Rising Star of the Month; Captain's Circle; and Workshop Leader of the Year- 2006-07.

5- I have also won the top prize in many of the company contests including:
Winner of the 2007 Cruise (fully paid, including airfare) to Cozumel; the only top winner of the Convention Fees for 2007; and many other smaller contests which have included free product/credit.

If you are a mom and/or a director looking to book a Noah's Ark Workshop, please know that I am a certified 20 year Texas teacher and was chosen as the PTA Teacher of the Year in 1997. I bring much experience with children to each workshop and I pass background checks every year. Please know that each individual representative can choose to work the business in their own way. I personally guarantee that my team and I will offer you a top notch, quality workshop where the children will be our first concern. Please feel free to read my testimonies on my website as well as view my soon coming video of my conducting a birthday party workshop! Please ask for references, as well as, experience with the business before booking a workshop!

Happy Spring from Noah's Ark Workshop by Regina

Hello and hope this finds everyone well! I can't believe it is April already! I have been one busy bee this Spring. I have taken time to visit my family, though- took the trip over Easter weekend (since I don't usually have workshops on Easter weekend).
But, it has been back to work 100% since getting back in town. I am busy with both birthday party and child care center workshops, working on booking my summer workshops, and recruiting. BUT, as I have said before, it is so nice to most of the work from my home!
Oh, the newest "adventure" with Noah's Ark Workshop is Chapter Meetings! I am the Dallas/Fort Worth Chapter President (assigned by my corporate offices). I will be having a meeting for any and all Noah's Ark Crew Members in the North Texas area. These meetings are not training meetings per say, but more of informational, get to know one another type meetings. I am acting as a "spokesperson" for the corporate office. I just received my agenda yesterday. I have yet to go over it. I will do that this weekend because my meeting is next Tuesday (a week from today)! In the meantime, I have been doing to serious Spring cleaning. Nothing like hosting a meeting at your home to motivate you to get some serious cleaning done. :)
Oh, one last thing before I have to get back to some paperwork-
you can join Noah's Ark Workshop for only $29 right now. This is only for the month of April. Here is the info for it:


Please feel free to contact me for more info! I am one of the top recruiters and the top sales person with the company.

The bow has pictures of suns on it, as well. I will also add it to my regular birthday party line as part of my $15 package. BUT, since this is a promotional item, this cute Sunshine bear will only be around for a limited time.

Happy New Year!

Wow- it's almost been a month since I last posted. I hope everyone had a blessed Holiday Season and I hope your New Year is off to a great start!
It's back to work for me. It was nice to take a family vacation and be away from phones, computers, and everyday life. Guess that is why they call it vacation. :)
Anyway, business is going well! I have had birthday party and daycare workshops every week (except the week of vacation). The week I was gone, I was able to pass workshops off to my great team. It is so nice to have a team built up where I can call and know that the workshops will be done well! So, thank you to all my team members that are working hard and making a great name for our team- "The Stuffin' Sweet Dreams Team" of Noah's Ark Workshop!

Well, I am tired and need to get to bed. I started working out in the mornings and I am tired. UGH! I just have to remember that the weight I am trying to lose didn't get there in one day and it will take time and hard work to get it back off. So, any words (thoughts, prayers) of encouragement that you can send my way would be much appreciated! One's health is so important. It must be a priority. So, I guess you can say one of my goals for 2008 is to make my health a priority!
