I'm so excited!!!!!

Hello all! Hope everyone has had an awesome June. We have had so much rain, I think I am going to start building an Ark!
Well, June has brought many things in addition to tons of rain. Let's see, just a quick recap as I am tired and need to get some sleep.

1. Too many workshops for daycares to count!
2. My birthday! Number 29- AGAIN! :)
AND, drum roll please,
3. The Noah's Ark Animal Workshop Convention in Chicago last weekend!

There are many new cuddly friends that are going to be added to the Noah's Ark family! Starting with 2 new Dinosaurs! See pictures.
A teddy monster.
Care Bears!
Strawberry Shortcake!
The Grinch (for Christmas)
A Snowman and Gingerbread Man (for the Holidays)
A Pink Poodle
A Black lab puppy
A White Unicorn
A stuffable purses!

We are also coming out with Gift Cards! And a reading program called, "Bananas about Books"!

My brain still hurts from all the info swirling around. Luckily, these new things will all be released in spurts.

Also, as a little "toot toot" of my horn, I am the 2nd top sales person in the company for this past year! Yippee!

Off to bed now!
Ciao!

It's BUSY season for Noah's Ark Workshop!

Hello and hope everyone is having a great start to their summer. I have actually taken off a little time as my little one was very sick for about a week. That is the joy of being self-employed, though, you can take off without having to call in to a boss.
Well, if you took a close look at my first page of my website, you may have seen some new pictures/slide show. These are some of the children from my birthday party workshop this past weekend. Beautiful family- great kids- awesome party.
Childcare Center workshops have also started this week for me. I had one on Wednesday and one more tomorrow. Then 3 next week. Woo-Hoo! In all total, I am up to 30 childcare center workshops between now and August.
Some other exciting news, I am thinking of purchasing some cable tv time to do a commercial. I am meeting with the advertising company next week. I would love to get the word out via tv- I think it would be a great boost to the birthday party side of the business. AND, I get to target my commercial to very specific parts of the DFW Metroplex.
Well, must get to bed as I have a busy day tomorrow. Yea! It is so wonderful to bring joy and excitement to children during their day at "school". Oh, wait- one story I must tell...
At the childcare center I did this Wednesday, there was a SWEET little 3 year old girl that walked in carrying her MOJO monkey that she made last year. It was so sweet and the teacher told me she hasn't gone anywhere without this last year. The mom was quite excited that her daughter was going to get to make a new animal (she picked a dog), as poor Mojo Monkey has seen better days (he has had to have his head/neck resewn). Now, that is a GREAT story that makes this business even more special. Awwww.
Thanks for listening!

Noah's Ark Animal Workshop summer schedule!

Hello All-
Well, summer has offically started here! School is out and I am starting my summer workshops in a week. I spent the entire day getting the next two weeks workshop forms printed and organized. I am going out on Tuesday to deliver everything. Yea!
To recap the last few weeks- I had a great graduation workshop for the 5 year old class at a local church Kid's Day Out program. Then, I had two birthday party workshops last weekend and 2 workshops this weekend. One was a Bella Bee Glamour Girl Workshop and the other was a Noah's Ark Animal Workshop. The Bella Bee workshop was for a Brownie Troop. They were a great group of girls and the troop leader was awesome! My birthday party this weekend was for a cute little 4 year old girl. Great party- lots of people- wonderful mom.
I also received a phone call for a last minute Noah's Ark Animal Workshop because it has been raining, and raining, and raining here. The poor mom was planning to have a pool party- so they needed an inside activity. I was already booked but I was able to pass the party on to one of my team members. Yea!
So, this week is one birthday party on Sunday and then gearing up for all my summer workshops. I have 27 child care center workshops!!!! I love doing workshops at child care centers. It is so much fun and the children get so excited! It is truly a joy.
Hope everyone is having a nice relaxing weekend. Because of all the rain here, we are just taking it easy and being house bums (okay- not bums- but at least I can work in my pajamas all day). Gotta' love that.
I also have 2 new team members this week that signed on!!! One is from New Mexico and one in Texas. They both seem like great ladies and I am so excited to have both of them come aboard!!! Here's to successful sailing!!!
Ciao!

Happy Late Mother's Day

Hi-
Time has just gotten away from me. I usually post on Sundays, but I took the day off from the business for Mother's Day. I had a nice time with family. Hope all you other moms out there had a nice day, as well!
As for business last week, I helped a child care center run their Noah's Ark Animal Workshop. It was a SUPER day! Many, many, many new cuddly friends were made. It was such a great success for the child care center as they ran it as a fundraiser. Are you a child care director? Ask me how you, too, can raise a good amount of money for your center while your children have a blast!!! Animalstogo@aol.com
I also had 2 birthday parties last week. Both for super nice girls (and families), both all girl parties, and both Noah's Ark Animal Workshop parties.
This week I have another child care center on Thursday. It is the graduation activity for the 5 year old class. Awwww. Then, I have 2 birthday parties. One is a Noah's Ark Animal Workshop and the other is a Bella Bee Glamour Girl party.
Well, must get to bed.
Nite!

Noah's Ark Animal Workshop

Hello-
Can you believe that May is already here? Wow- time is just flying by. I'm glad I was able to take a week off from workshops. Of course, I still did a ton of other business related items. The most important being, I was able to get my next few months planned out on paper.
I also booked a birthday party and 2 child care center workshops. I had a new recruit sign on. Yea! I also placed a big order to restock, picked up one child care centers orders (for a workshop on May 17th), placed labels on all my bags, and tonight I will stuff baggies with stuffing.
This up-n-coming week I have 2 birthday party workshops and I am going to help one child care center with their own workshop. Yes- if you are a child care director, you can sign up for $29 and do the workshop yourself (with my help) AND keep the profit for your center!!! The center I am helping out this week will profit OVER $1500! Contact me for more info if you are interested! Since it is run as a fundraiser, there is NO cost to your center except the $29!!!!
Well, must go play with my little one. Have a blessed week!

Noah's Ark Animal Workshop
Bella Bee Glamour Girl Workshop

Noah's Ark is growing!

Hello all!
It's been a great week! I actually just arrived home a little bit ago from my 3rd workshop this weekend. I had a Bella Bee Glamour Girl Workshop yesterday for a precious 7 year old and her friends. We all ended the party looking fabulous and smelling like vine-ripened yummy grapes! Then, I had a fun filled Noah's Ark Workshop for a sweet 5 year old and 16 of her friends. The bunnies and the rainbow bears were the hit of the party. Then, today was another Noah's Ark Animal Workshop for another precious 7 year old girl and 11 of her friends and family. The white kitty and the tabby cat were the most popular today. All in all, many new cuddly friends were made this weekend.
I also had a new member join my team- welcome to Stephanie! Glad to have you on board!!!
And, finally, I was able to meet with 18 child care directors (at a local child care convention) and pass along some information about my company.
Oh, I also booked 2 more birthday parties for May and one more child care center for June.
I am going to take a break this week from workshops as I have to regroup (restock) and get in gear for this summer. I must set my summer schedule as to when to get forms to all of the child care centers (I have 24 child care bookings for the summer so far) and when to place orders.
Hope everyone has a blessed week!
Ciao!

Busy, Busy- Noah's Ark Animal Workshop

Hello!
I've been so busy. I had a super weekend of birthday party workshops! 3 GREAT parties! 3 GREAT children/families! I had all ages, this past weekend, as well. Friday night I had a workshop for a 13 year old. Saturday morning I had a workshop for twin 3 year old boys. And, Saturday afternoon, I had a workshop for a 6 year old girl. Each one was so fun and entertaining. Needless to say, it was a profitable weekend.
I have 3 more workshops this coming weekend in addition to a child care convention. I better be taking my vitamins!!! One of my parties this weekend is a Bella Bee Glamour Girl Workshop. That will be fun! I just love the Bella Bee parties. I love the girly stuff. Now, don't get me wrong, I do so enjoy the Noah's Ark Animal Workshops as well! It is just fun to "hang with the girls" every once in a while and be super girly!
Must go for now. My hubby is sick again. Must go play nurse for a while.
Hope everyone has a blessed week!
Ciao!
