Happy Valentine's DAY

WOW, its a beautiful day outside, good to be back in the good ole' Louisiana-only bad part about today is that I'm dreading surgery tomorrow, YIKES. But John has a really special night planned to celebrate Valentine's Day & and my last night out of the house for a while (hehe) at Houmas House. Would love to squeeze in that cute movie, Definitely MAYBE. I asked my doctors if i could wheel my IV across Perkins Rowe to see it, but they didn't think i could run faster than the nurses, probably not :(so hopefully i can squeeze it in today. Also trying to talk Dane into sneaking into a daytime show to see Fools Gold right after we pay all of these monthly taxes--i know i'm nuts, but i can't imagine not going to the movies on Saturdays for the next 6 weeks, so i need to squeeze them all in today.

Well, i surely digress, i meant to just say Happy Valentine's Day & show you the cool COSMO CRICKET line which we loved to the moon & back!!!!

NEWS from the West Coast

While my awesome employees are reviewing catalogs and still spending MY money & i do mean all of it including my personal bank account (haha), i'm loving reading all of your awesome comments about the CHA products. Tell me what you want to see & we'll post, we took 500 pictures so can't decide what to put. Its hard to find the pictures of products because Christy & Jade were posing with everything they could find.

My favorite scrapbook tool EVER!!!!

Really and truly, my all-time favorite product is my Masterpieces book. I grab it EVERY TIME I do a layout for the store or myself. I had never used idea books before. So when we got the Masterpieces book I really didn’t think I would use it all that much. But as soon as I realized how useful it was, I couldn’t put it down. One reason I love it is that you have so many options to choose from. There are 200 full color double-page layouts that show you examples of the 68 sketches included in the book. You can also change around the s ketches to make even more sketches. The layout examples give you even more ideas because some of them have also been changed up a little. I think of this book as a scrapbooking tool. I keep it with my tool bag that way it is always handy for whenever I am ready to scrap. Basically, the thought process has already been done for you and you can just sit down and scrap which is what I really love. EVERYONE should have one! So come see me today & get yours!!!
