Honey I'm Home

We made it home from our first Tour de Crop bus tour. I took a passenger van full of 14 ladies to Pages from the Heart in Monrovia, and Scraparazzi in Whittier on Saturday, March 1. I had a great time hanging out with some of my dear customers. We played games on the bus, laughed, made make-n-takes, had lunch and did some major shopping at these lovely stores. I was the bus driver and Leslie, one of our designers, was the tour guide. She was a trooper, she actually sat on a stool facing the ladies to play the games...she was fighting car sickness but fought through it without incident. Yeah! because I am a sympathetic throw upper...it could have been ugly. I want to thank the girls who stayed at the store to make sure all of our guests felt welcome and unfortunately had to trouble shoot the problem of a backed up toilet. Why does that always seem to happen when you have company? I am blessed to have such a great support group of close friends and customers that volunteer to help whenever they can. Debbie, Lindsey, Heidi and Lynette you are appreciated!!! I want to thank Bill the plumber too...your gift of unclogging things was definitely priceless! Looking forward to our next tour in October...

Company's Coming!

I think all of the water is out of my ears from jumping in the blogging pool. I have been cleaning house well the store is like home, We are getting ready for our Tour de Crop Spring Hop on Saturday, March 1. Phew! I needed a break....so I thought I would put up a new post (is that the correct terminology?) We are Spring hopping with Scraparazzi in Whittier and Pages from the Heart in Monrovia. All three of us will be filling a passenger van with 10 to 14 ladies and taking them to visit each store. We pack them a lunch, give them a goodie bag filled with paper, embelishments, ribbon, stickers and other fun stuff. Each store offers a little something different for the ladies to experience. At the end of the day when we get back to the home store we will raffle a basket full of Scrapbooking supplies valued over $200. This is the first Tour de Crop we am participating in, it kinda feels like preparing for a Holiday...you clean, plan, shop and prepare but it's worth it because you are left with great memories to reflect on. I'll let you know how it goes.

Cannon Ball!

The time has come for me to jump into the blogging community. I have stood in front of my computer admiring the talents of the bloggers and their sites. Overwhelmed, I have been content to sit on the edge of the digital pool. With my floaties on I am jumping in! Be patient with me while I am learning, I will try not to splash you...
