Do you ever look at the catalogue and think: "I love everything!" Well, so do I. Of course, we have to make choices and can't everything. The closest thing you can do to "have everything", is to participate in swaps. Demonstrators often participate in swaps, and OnStage is a great occasion to participate, as we meet hundreds of other demonstrators.   A swap is when each person will use make a card in multiple copies, then swap with other demonstrators, so that you end up with a stack of cards in all sorts of designs, colours, and techniques. Because everyone used different products, you get to have cards using products that you don't have. For last month's OnStage, I chose to use the InColors that were returning and the coordinating Designer Series Paper (this one retiring at the end of the month). I love the Crafting Forever stamp set, the sentiments are very fun and I played on the "cut out" phrase by adding a diagonal cut through the D...

On November 8, I attended OnStage in Red Deer. OnStage is a bi-yearly gathering for demonstrators only, where we get to see new catalogues, play with and purchase some of the new products, as well as receive training, inspiring presentations, and get the latest news on our business. Imagine being in a room with hundreds of people who LOVE the same thing you do! The energy is quite vibrant!   Le 8 novembre dernier, j'ai assisté à OnStage à Red Deer. Il s'agit d'une conférence bi-annuel pour démonstratrices seulement, où on peut voir les nouveaux catalogues, découvrir et bricoler avec des nouveaux produits et aussi commander avant tout le monde. Nous recevons aussi des formations et présentations très inspirantes, et les dernières nouvelles de notre compagnie. Imaginez être dans une pièce avec des centaines de personnes qui trippent sur la même chose que vous! C'est électrisant!

When you're a Work at Home Mom, you have to find little pockets of time to do all the work you have to do. My friend, Michelle, calls them, the Mom Cracks of time.   Apart from the obvious nap times and after bed time, what are some of those little cracks you find you can use for work? I don't know about you, but my kids take forever to eat. So, often, I'm done before they are (even if they start   first!) so I can usually do a couple of things in that pocket of time. Like working on my to do list for the day, planning and such things. Having lists of what needs to be done really helps me stay organized. Especially since my time is so fragmented. Anytime I find myself with a few minutes free, I don't have to think, I can just look at my list, pick a task that seems appropriate and tackle it. I don't always get everything done but it makes me feel productive at least. Making chores a fun time with kids does help too. For example, the kids love to sit in th...
