CTMH Convention -Make it from your Heart

IMG_6519

How do I sum up an amazing few days in California at the Close to my Heart convention- Make it form your Heart! I got to spend time with friends that I just do not see enough. I was blessed to be able to teach a class on Leadership day on how to lead a long distance team.  I met new friends (Carl and Russell from Up to name just two LOL)!

I was treated like royalty and won three awards! Number 6 in North America for Team Building and Number 1 in Canada for Straight to the Top (that means that I really help my new team members to build their business!). I also won the layout contest (see post from the other day on this one).

I was insane enough to get up before dawn to walk a 5K through Disneyland and California Adventure (really this is all about the photo opportunity since no one else is in the park AND it raises money for Operation Smile!)

We were even honored as Canadians with a special Canadian lunch!

The whole week was just amazing! YOU need to join us next year!!

CTMH Convention ‘hangover’

IMG_2216

Yes, convention was almost two weeks ago (well the start of it anyway) and I am still feeling the effects- the only good part is that these effects are all good…. inspiration, motivation, creativity… and a little bit of tiredness but coffee fixes that right up!  Convention is one of the BEST parties of the year and I am so glad that I was there this year and will CERTAINLY be there next year too!

This year I had 13 team members join me- that is my best turnout yet.  Convention is an investment so it can be hard to see the payoff if you have never been but I think all of these ladies now know that it is totally worth it!  Here are just a few highlights.

Private meeting with the mouse! Yes please!! For the Director’s dinner the company hired Mickey for a photo op- and I later met Minnie during the awards ceremony (I won 9th place for team building in North America- a HUGE accomplishment as Canadians do not usually place in the top ten!)

After the photos and our lovely dinner we were taken into the California Adventure park to watch the World of Colour Show- it is wonderful! There I had time to connect with my gal-pal Denise! Another aspect I love about convention is the time to connect with old friends AND meet new ones!

After being up late, we woke up super-early to run/walk a 5K- here is Denise and I again getting ready for this one.  My friend Anita photo-bombed us! I will admit- I walked it- took photos on the way and just enjoyed the view of the park with NO other people!

There is LOTS more that goes on- I may post more in another post (let me know if you would like to see more).

This year my BFF Sarah and I did stay an extra day and played at Disneyland itself- oh my…. the California disney is so quaint and just awesome! We had a great time… and only felt a little guilty about being there without our children!

Artistic Adventure Mini Album

Convention is always a magical time of year- for CTMH consultants I think it is MORE exciting than Christmas! The fun of new product reveals (and how they reveal them is always a true show) and getting time to play with all the new stuff… sigh… it is heaven on earth!

Now today I am still at Disneyland… riding rides and having some girl time with my BFF Sarah BUT before I left I wanted to make sure I had some fun stuff set up for you! I hope you like it- we created this on Thursday at convention and all I will need to add when I get home are my photos!

This mini album is created with the following new products: Chalk it up Picture my Life, Striped Twill Ribbon, and and the Chalk it Up Assortment.  I also used a few of our new stamps… but those you will have to wait to see… (insert slightly evil laugh here).
