I am so thankful for the most amazing week in CA. I heard such great feedback from the retailers and I am thrilled the new lines were so well recieved. I love the addition of color and new products. It was FABULOUS and encourages me to keep designing. wink! The design process never ends. I love this!!!! I am finalizing CHA Summer right now. I could barely sleep at CHA. I was working on designs in my hotel room. I will tell you that after all of these years, I still am inspired and LOVE what I do. I STILL want to help others to tell their story. PS I am thrilled with the way my idea book came out. On the back of the book- I wrote...TELL YOUR STORY!!!! That is ONE of my releases for CHA Summer. You heard it here first. I was so inspired that I will be release a full collection to help YOU...TELL YOUR STORY in the Summer. See how life does inspire?????
Today is all about working on some designs and then headed to Provo for STATE DRILL TEAM competition with the team. We stay in a hotel tonight as a team and then competition is ALL DAY tomorrow. I am so excited to go with McKay. She has to do a devotional for 18 girls. She let me know this about 11am yesterday WHILE I was in my booth at CHA. You know LOTS of time to do it. HA!
I was right beside my friends at Epiphany Crafts. I LOVE their products. LOVE!!!!! I asked them if they could HELP me. I saw their beautiful products and wanted to create a necklace for each girl. So today I am working on CHARM (custom made) with the Silver Charms, their square custom shape machine and bubble caps. I am going to show photos of what I am making today. I want to thank Tricia and Brian for their generosity. THANK YOU so much! I can't wait to share what I create.
Today is weigh in day. Yes, I was 100% while in California. I drank my special protein shakes, ate fruit and had a gorgeous salad every night at the restaurant by our hotel. They were wonderful to make it "just right" for me. I truly am dedicated to my health and it FINALLY clicked for me. I wanted MORE to feel better and I wanted MORE to look better. I admit, when I watched myself in the Provo Craft infomercial- I wished I had lost weight BEFORE. I know this is deeply personal but I given up on ever being "really fit and trim." Traveling kills me and so does emotional eating. I LOVE food. I enjoy the social aspect of it. I did not THINK this program would work. I thought it was just another program that would cost me money and not work. I guess I did not know everything. I realize my mind was the problem. I had settled. SETTLED for less that my potential. Do you ever do this? Don't settle. Believe in yourself. I just felt I needed to share this message today. Make the CHANGE you want to see. I lived way too many years carrying all that excess... excess... excess.... I am reading a book called POWER THOUGHTS and it has helped me to realize that I needed to take my own advice in business- FAILURE is NOT AN OPTION!!!!! Now I implement it in my own message to myself.
I hope you have a GREAT day! Tomorrow check my blog for a FUN ANNOUNCEMENT and chance to win some SCRAPTASTIC prizes. xoxo
