In March, Close To My Heart held events around the country exclusively for consultants. I was so excited when the announcement came that there would be one at Union Station in St. Louis! Based on my past experience at Close To My Heart events, I expected to be inspired, learn, see friends and enjoy getting creative. I was not disappointed.
Inspiration
Members of the Home Office team traveled to the various locations to present. Our host from Home Office was Tiffany Young who started the day with an inspirational message. We were challenged to find new ways to grow our businesses in today’s market.
Community
One of the best things about going to a Close To My Heart event is the community. It was great to see old friends and meet new ones.

This event was extra special for me because I was joined by my teammembers Ann, Faye, Barbara, Lori and Joan! Yay Treasure Keepers!

Awards
I was truly suprised and honored to receive two awards for highest sales among those in attendance. To remember these achievements, I received beautiful layouts!
Projects
The main event at this launch was the brand new Seasonal Expressions Idea Book. Although these products were not available to the general public until May 1 (to consultants on April 1), we were given the opportunity to make some fun projects with them. I am FINALLY able to share them with you!

Team Building
After the meetings, my team went across the street to Sybergs to relax and visit over a yummy lunch.
Then we headed to my house for an afternoon with more creating. One of the projects we made was this layout using the Live Beautifully paper and stamp setwhich is exclusively available in May 2017 to celebrate National Scrapbooking Month.
All in all, it was full, but great day! The best part of it all is spending time with others who are passionate about memory keeping and being creative. If you would like to be part of it, you are invited to attend our next team meeting in July — as either a team member or just to check us out. This meeting will be immediately after our annual convention so there will be A LOT to share!
congratulations on the award and for sharing pictures. Love the layouts you received – perfect prize. I have been to Union Station in STL when it was a bustling shopping enter and hotel. Last time I was there about 6 years ago it was nearly empty. Hope it's changed back.
It has been sad to see it empty out. Before this event, I didn't know the hotel had a nice convention-type area. There are still not many shops. It seems to be reinventing itself and coming back – hope so. Thanks so much for the comments!
