I’m Cruising with Close To My Heart!

It’s official! I’m so excited to share with you that I’ve earned my third incentive trip and will be cruising the Western Carribean with my Close To My Heart in February 2019! Who would have thought when I joined this company so I could get some beautiful scrapbook paper at a discount, that I’d be traveling around the world with some of my best friends that I met through this amazing company.

Before earning my first trip two years ago, I heard other consultants talk about how they were spoiled on the trip. But I had no idea until I experienced it for myself. There are lots of perks to traveling with Close To My Heart. Based on last year’s incentive trip to Thailand, here are a few of the ways that traveling this is different than regular traveling.

1) Travel companion. The package includes airfare and cruise for me AND a guest. I choose to take my husband, Eric, with me to Thailand and I’m so thankful we had this shared one-in-a-lifetime experience.

2) Scrapbook. Every trip earning receives a kit with materials to complete a beautiful trip themed album. The pages for these books use lots of fun techniques and you get all the products you need to complete it, including an exclusive stamp set. I just posted my pagesfrom the 2018 Puerto Vallarta trip last week. I’m working on last year’s Thailand album now and can’t wait to show you the beautiful embossing and other techniques in these pages.

3) Shirts. Each earner and their guest receive an exclusive trip shirt prior to the trip. Last year, there were several styles to choose from and we could purchase extras if we wanted. The picture below is of all of the Thailand trip earners in our coordinating shirts making “Close To My Heart hands”.

4) Welcome and Farewell Dinners. The first evening of the trip is a dinner with announcements, awards and gifts. It’s a great time to greet friends and meet new people while enjoying delicious local food. At the end of the trip we all gather together again before heading back to our homes.

5) Gifts! Our President Monica Wihongi is a gift giving queen. She always chooses practical and unique gifts. It’s so fun to return to our room and find a box filled with an assortment of items. Last year’s box included water bottles, hat, visor, back pack, cinch bag, cooling cloths, umbrella and fan.

6) Excursion. Our Thailand trip also included a dinner cruise on on the Chao Phraya River to see the sights of Bangkok, taste authentic Thai cuisine and enjoy traditional Thai dancing.

7) TLC. Several members of the Close To My Heart executive team and staff traveled with us. They worked seemingly tirelessly to make sure that we were safe and comfortable. As happens when traveling, there were times that plans didn’t happen quite the way they were supposed to and the staff made sure we were informed and patiently answered questions. Traveling in a foreign country can cause some stress and they did everything they could to ease our anxiety. After full days of touring, while we fell into our rooms to get much need rest, the home office staff fired up their computers to work with their teams in the US who were just starting their days. I honestly don’t know how they did everything they did it all and without dropping their friendly smiles.

8) Friendships. The thing I’ve gained from the two trips I’ve taken that I value the most is the friendships. There is nothing like traveling with a group of around a hundred people with common hobby and business passion. Can you imagine running into close friends while wandering around an exotic place like the Siam Paragon (mall) in Bangkok? I can because it happened! Multiple times!

For all these reasons and more I consider a Close To My Heart incentive trip the ultimate reward from my business. It is the best way to celebrate the work I do doing the year. I love that I can treat my hardworking husband to a thrilling vacation to the most beautiful places in the world.

James Bond Island

Thank you Close To My Heart for the opportunities you have given me. I’m also so thankful for all the support I receive from my customers, friends and family. That includes those who have made purchases from me, attended a workshop or crop, or offered words of encouragement. It all means so much and I feel blessed to have so many wonderful people in my life.

Fab Four Sign Up Bonus in April

April is the BEST time to sign up to be a member of my Close To My Heart team, the Treasure Keepers!

Join my team in April and you’ll receive four FREE stamp sets! This includes the May, June, July and August Stamps of the Month. That’s an additional $71.80 retail value in addition to the incredible value of the New Consultant Kit.

BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE!

There are several more reasons that April is the BEST MONTH to join my team.

1) You’re kit will include the brand new Seasonal Expressions 2 Idea Books and you’ll be able to immediately start ordering the new products! Although these items are not available for purchase by customers until May 1, consultants get to take advantage of the preview and order in April!

2) No quarterly minimums until this fall! April is the first month in the 2nd quarter of 2018 and there is no sales requirement in the quarter that you join, so our low quarterly minimum applies for the first time in the third quarter which ends in September.

3) Former consultants can choose a “no kit” option for just $50. Since you probably already have the basic paper crafting tools, this option does not include a new consultant kit, BUT you will still get $50 in product credit AND the four free stamp sets!

4) You also get to preview the National Scrapbooking Month exclusive products! You are going to love the Postcard Perfect line which includes a Cut Above scrapbooking kit, paper pack and stamp set. Why wait until May when you can get them in April as a consultant?

So, are you ready? Let’s get started>>

Got questions? Send them to me! I’d love to help you figure out whether this is the right thing for you. Email me>>

Seasonal Expression 2 Launch & Projects

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. 

Attendees signing “Close To My Heart”

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

The Treasure Keepers Team

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!

Little Dreamer Cards

No Worries Cards

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!

I’m headed To Puerto Vallarta! Thank you Close To My Heart!

I’m beyond excited to be able to say “I’ve earned a trip to Puerto Vallarta with Close To My Heart”!

This trip includes airfare and six nights at an all inclusive resort in a tropical paradise. How amazing is that? Even better, I get to take my husband and biggest supporter with me! As a scrapbooker, I’m also excited about the “creative projects” we’ll receive to use to remember all the great memories.

Although I worked hard to earn this trip, honestly, I am really just a “part timer”. Even during the last few weeks in which I have focused on the final sales to qualify for the trip, I worked less than at a typical full time job. Plus, I worked around all of my other obligations including family, friends, teaching and church. I love being rewarded for doing something I love!

Today, starts a new month and a new trip earning period. The qualifications for earning the next trip which will be to Thailand was just announced. I’ve updated my tracking spreadsheets because I REALLY WANT to earn this one! 

As some of you know, my sister lives in Thailand and we have traveled there twice. On our first trip to Thailand in 2006, we spent over a week in Bangkok then traveled north to Chiang Mai. We fell in love with this country and it’s people, culture, food, elephants and foot massages!

Our second trip was in 2014 was to Southern Thailand and included scuba diving and mountain climbing. Although this trip was a completely different experience from the first, we once again enjoyed the culture, food and massages. (Seriously, you have not had a massage until you experience a Thai massage!)

The Close To My Heart trip combines these two locales. We’ll first spend three busy days seeing all the beautiful sites of Bangkok. Then we’ll relax for three more days on the beaches at Phuket. I’d love to have you join me on this amazing trip. Now is the time to join my team and have 12 full months to build your business while earning this trip. 

Just a reminder, you can use hostess rewards to get your new consultant kit at a discount or for free in October.  You can learn more about it along with other reasons to join my team in October in yesterday’s post.

Email me today to schedule your live or virtual party!

Why I’m with Close To My Heart (my brave video)

This year at the annual convention, we were challenged to make a 60 second video about why we are with Close To My Heart. This morning in the shower, I wrote the script. (I do some of my best thinking in the shower! Seriously, that’s where I plan my day and can talk to myself about it without an audience.)

So I put on my big girl panties and bravely turned on the camera.  Here’s what I had to say:
