51. The sadest days......feeling super lost!!!!



































With sad hearts we had to pay our last respect to our little dog Minnie who has been with us for 14 years....RIP Dear Friend....you were the greatest dog ever!! you will be in our hearts forever and we will miss you so!!! I'll never forget the day you met Cole and you immediately fell in love with him and became his little watch dog....he could get away with doing just about anything to you.....loved the way you would follow him around everywhere he went...and you and Brad had one of the most special bonds ever!! like when I would call your name and you would go straight to Brad....adorable!!! I still look for you everywhere I go and reminded of how much you meant to us each and ever day....I hope you enjoyed being our dog for 14 years....because we fell in love with you from day one!!! Put on your Angel wings and watch over us !!! We will think about you every day!!!! I am looking at 14 years of photos and memories that will last a lifetime!!! Will add them here slowly as I find more....RIP Minnie!!!!

55. To all my Blog & Artist Friends....I want to share this amazing Opportunity with you!!!!







Hello Everyone!!!! As many of you already know...I jumped in and started my own Arbonne Independent Consultant Business....and it has changed my whole life in these last few months....I not only have learned so much about how important it is to read product labels....but have totally changed every single product I use in our home....I feel safe giving my family pure, safe and beneficial options of ultra premium products that I get to use and enjoy myself....

As many of you know I am a full time Artist, Illustrator and Designer and I have been successful in creating some amazing projects and books and works for surface designs and even fine art for the set of NBC.....but I needed something more...a way to reach out to people and a way to make extra money for help my family between Royalty cheques and art sales.....

In December of 2013 I saw a post on a Mom's site in my town...a woman needed some help with her Business and I wrote to her right away....I would love to actually meet with people and have a little fun outside of my Studio....so we met and I learned that she was an Executive Regional Vice President with Arbonne....I said.."what is Arbonne" from our very first meeting we hit it off and she hired me to help her with her Business...designing a brand for her....and having a fun watching her team grow....

In my mind I was always thinking....This is something I could do....I already fell in love with the Ultra Premium products....so why not...and the rest was History....I joined her team at the end of April 2014 and I am so glad that I did....This is a life changing opportunity and I want to share it with as many people as I can.....In 3 months I promoted to District Manager and can't wait to see where this road will lead!!!!


It is something I am happy to share with as many people as I can....together we can all make it to the top of this Company and it will CHANGE your LIFE!!! To learn more about this and to sample some products please feel free to e-mail me - [email protected] . If you want more out of life...more time....more freedom to do the things you love to do....more time with your children or your husband....this can be the answer for you!!!! Not to mention updating the products in your home with Healthy and Safe products that actually work!!!!

Would love to have you on my team and help you get to where you need to go!!!!!


 
Happy Tuesday and Happy Creating Everyone....

70. We have to believe and move forward.....Monday Chalkboard art....


Hi Everyone....and Happy Monday.....

Have you ever started doing something and then had some people say something negative about it....and your spirit was a little bruised and your dreams a little less alive.....I know ....happened to me....was super excited about something and then had some people say something about it and that they had no faith in something that I did have faith in....

it makes you really question your ideas and your dreams and you just can't let ANYONE do that to you....or better yet you can't let that impact what your journey is....you have to have the Faith in  you....

I also found this that very same day....I love her inspiring messages....


So I guess what I am saying today...is .....to just Believe in your Dreams...don't let anyone take them away from you....Breathe life into them each and every day....you will get there!!!

Happiness!!!!
