Close to my Heart just released the 2011 retiring list. I think we are in for some big changes because there are a ton of things retiring, including ALL but four of our upcoming paper packets! If there is anything that you would like that is on the list, be sure to get it now because these items are only available WHILE SUPPLIES LAST until December 31, 2010.
We also got him a new bike that he LOVES!
And we spent the day at Legoland yesterday, which was pretty special. This is a photo of all of us wearing the silly 3-D glasses before seeing the new 4-D movie Clutch Powers at Legoland. It was pretty cool.
So, all in all, even though he didn't get an iTouch, I think he enjoyed his special day!
I just love those little eggs. *Ü*
For those of you who asked how my weekend was with my mom, it was FABULOUS! She took me to the La Costa Resort in San Diego as a belated birthday gift. My b-day was in May, but she told everyone that we were celebrating my birthday so I felt like it was still my special day!
This was a dessert they brought me after dinner. It was sooooo yummy! It had a graham cracker crust, was filled with chocolate moose, marshmallows, and a little tiny crunchy chocolate balls, and covered with a rich chocolate shell. The little “Happy Birthday” tag on the plate was made out of white chocolate! Can you say “Scrumptious?”
When we got back to the room, there were two milk cartons (on ice), 3 huge chocolate chip cookies, and a note from the hotel wishing me a Happy Birthday! How fun! I have never celebrated my special day in July before. LOL!
Have a great day!

Don’t tell my hubby, but I was flirting with “Honest Abe” in the lobby.
Each of our team members chose a different paper packet and we made sashes to show the pack we “represented.” There are only 6 of us in this photo, but there were 12 total team members who attended. (I was Ms. Topstitch.) We each had a glittery tiara as well. It was so funny. We kept getting asked how we “earned” our sashes.
This is a photo of me with two of the sweetest people you will ever meet.
Check out what my team did for me. Not only did they give me a beautiful Brighton “Queen” Key Fab, a box of super duper yummy chocolates, and a handmade card. They also made me an official “Team Proclamation.” I loved it! I was so surprised and humbled by their wonderful gift. Thank you again ladies, You are the best!
Here is a photo of me with Jeanette Lynton, CTMH Founder/CEO.
One of the highlights for me was winning an award for being in the top 10 for Team Building for 2009-2010.
I also really enjoyed seeing old friends and getting to know some of my online friends better.
My friends Jen Rubio and Starr Nelson. (Love you guys!)
This is my sweet friend Amy McGrew who comforted me the past few months when I thought I might be moving to South Carolina. As sad as I am that we won’t be neighbors, I am happy to be staying in Southern California, for now at least.
I was thrilled to finally meet Janene Wawro. I have admired her from afar for a long time. 
Among all of the great announcements, fun new products, seeing old friends and making new ones, we also had some FANTASTIC entertainment! Jon Schmidt and Steven Sharp played at the Awards Banquet. WOW! I was blown away. They were awesome and so funny. I was excited to get the chance to meet them both. You must check these guys out. There are tons of great videos on You Tube.
I was also excited to see Anita Renfroe again during the closing banquet. This gal is HILARIOUS! If you have never heard the Momsense Song, you must check it out. Make sure you are not drinking anything when you watch however, because it will surely come out of your nose from laughing so hard. LOL!
Wow! That was only a tiny glimpse into my last week. I wish I could post more. As soon as the CTMH announcements are made public, I promise to share them all with you! I know you will love each and every single thing that is to come!! (If you would like to join my team, you are welcome to attend a Convention Re-Cap meeting on Tuesday, July 27th at 7pm. Contact me for details.)
Right now I am in Washington D.C. most likely having the time of my life. I scheduled this post before I left because I didn’t want to ruin the surprise for the gals who were going to get one of these fun little journals. I made one for the 12 team members who are joining me at our annual Convention this year. I wish more of my team was able to go, but being that it is all the way on the East Coast, many of them couldn’t make it.
The Silhouette paper is an oldie but a goodie. It will always be one of my favorites.
This one is made using another favorite of mine, the Topstitch paper. (I will have a few fun photos to show you of “Ms. Topstitch,” sash and all, when I get back from Convention next week. Just wait until you see this. You are going to die laughing if I don’t die of embarrassment first. LOL!)
I’ll be home Sunday with lots of fun things to post...
In January I celebrated 5 years as a Close to my Heart Consultant. It has been an amazing 5 years and I can’t wait to see what the next 5 years have in store. Check out this beautiful pin they sent me for my 5 year anniversary. Have I mentioned lately how much I LOVE Close to my Heart?
I am flying out to Washington D.C. early tomorrow morning for CTMH’s annual Convention. I cannot wait to come back and share all of the wonderful things I learn with you. (Not to mention the great new products!) Have I mentioned lately how much I LOVE Close to my Heart? Oh, yes. I suppose I have.
My sweet friend Melissa awarded me with this adorable (yummy) blog award. Thanks girlfriend! You are the best! If you have never visited Melissa’s blog, be sure to check it out. She is one amazing lady!
I love Ryan’s eyes in this photo. They are so reflective you can almost see the camera in them.
The people I would like to pass this on to are:
