I'm always up for a little challenge. One from our team made it into the TOP TEN...Sara Hendricks! Congrats girl...rock star!!!

Onto Feb...there was a contest...I was one of only 10 DSRs that won the contest. We earned extras for our sample line! WOOT WOOT! One of the many perks I LOVE about this company.

Spring 2011 LAUNCH PARTY!!!



Have I mentioned that I LOVE decorating for parties! LOVE themes...all things matchy matchy! So the day finally arrived...my Spring Launch! It was a GREAT turn out...10 ladies in attendance...sample sales, spring orders, parties booked and YUMMY CUPCAKES!!! Here are all the details! I had a "gift" for EVERY guest. It was just a little pack of gum...lipgloss/business card and pink notepad. All wrapped up in a mini bag with leopard tissue paper topped of with aqua/lime green tulle!

I also gave a gift to anyone that brought a friend! It was Girl Scout Cookies called "thanks-a-lot" with some cute tulle tied on them.I had a TON of "vintage" MVB...these were outfits from back in the day that my girls had outgrown and I thought I would share the mvb love with my BEST customers and friends!

I also had my fall samples and left over spring 2010 samples as well. Guests were invited to shop these gems! THEN...I offered 2 giveaways for those that ordered from the NEW spring catalog! It went over GREAT! My BFF Christina won an item of her choice at 45% off and another friend of mine, Tanya won a MASSAGE! Thanks to Mr. Hayden for drawing the names and keepin' it fair! ;) I think that these giveaways really helped boost my sales! I had to have a good show so that I could purchase the HOSTESS EXCLUSIVE line for me and my girls! I also got to get their Easter dresses (Vintage Picnic)! LOVE IT!! The food that I served was simple and cheap...just a little cheese and meat tray, chex mix, flavored popcorn and CUPCAKES! Can you tell I'm excited about the cupcakes?! They were AMAZING! They were lemon with lemon buttercreme and raspberry with champagne buttercreme...yes, I said champagne buttercreme! YUM-O!!! Thanks to Amy from Sugary Expressions for knockin' my socks off with this treats!


I also made "green" punch. It was a good thought at first...let me give you the run down. I google lime punch withOUT sherbet! I was afraid the sherbet would clog my drink dispenser. SO...simple enough, I found a recipe with ginger ale, pineapple juice, water, sugar and LIME KOOL-AID! So...I run to my local Target to pick up these few items. My quick little run to the store came to a screeching hault...WHAT TARGET...NO LIME KOOL-AID?! Uggh! Aborted mission Target! On to Wal-Mart...i stop in the produce section first to pick up limes for punch decor...REALLY!? Wal-Mart is SOLD OUT of LIMES! OMGosh! The nice gentlemen points me in the direction of KeyLimes...they're gonna have to work...NOW...the kool-aid. WHAT?! I am so stressed...NO LIME KOOL-AID again! SO...I winged it. The punch was green Hawaiian punch, ginger ale and pineapple juice! It turned out fine, but it didn't come without a wild goose chase! That's the deets...enjoy the pics! A super fun day with lots of friends and even made some new friends too! Yet another reason to LOVE MVB! And I call this "work"!

This is what my precious 1st grader Addison made for me...such a sweet and thoughtful girl! Thanks Addy!!

A Team Meeting...Complete with CHOCOLATE!


Me and Cassity...team leaders;)


The team has grown by leaps and bounds...it's time we start having some meetings! Team Blessed Fabulous and Hot Mommas had our FIRST team gathering On Jan 20th at THE MELTING POT! I love me some chocolate. It was a great night! I got to meet some amazing girls IRL (in real life)! I totally consider these ladies my friends and have never even met them! It was filled with TONS of SURPRISES that I had for the team...SHOUT OUTS for some AMAZING team members...and CELEBRATIONS for NEW team members! We started the night out with recognition...I bought some yummy girl scout cookies called "shout outs" and gave those to Cassity Reed and Melanie Hollingsworth for making TOP 20 for the entire fall 2010 season!! WOOT WOOT!

Cassity and Mel...Love these girls!

Also from our team in the Top 20...Sara Hendricks and my fabulous mentor Cindy Boyd and YOURS TRULY! Holla!
Enough of that...then we went over some super exciting things for spring! Everyone is IN LOVE with the hostess exclusive line! This is GREAT NEWS for business! We had a lengthy Q & A session that resulted in 2 NEW REPS! YIPEE! SO super excited to help these fabulous ladies launch their business! Welcome to the team Tara and Nisha! So great meeting both of you and sharing in your excitement for the road ahead! I know Tara is on her way to being a stay at home mommy!

Me with Tara and her mother Darlene

OH...AND...Amy from pinkcloverdesigns came to our meeting too! I had to give her some "shout outs" for making my custom printables for my launch...pics to come on my next post! Amy...you are so super sweet and exactly what I imagined! Glad you got to escape for some "Adult Conversation" LOL!

Me with Amy from Pink Clover Designs

Stacey and Amber...so great to meet the both of you too! I love how we meet people and it just seems like we have been friends for-ev-er! All and All I would say this first team meeting was Super FUN and very successful! Thanks to EVERYONE!!! WAIT...there's more...I almost forgot that my little Ava made the trip with me AND she made a new friend...Cash Reed! It took my little shy Ava a while to warm up, but once she did, it was a match made in heaven! When I got home from dinner, by the time we got everything settled and ready for bed, it must have been close to 11pm! Ava said "but mom, he's starting to be my BESTest friend!" She wanted to play more...poor thing! Cash is convinced he is marrying my Ava. Her Dad isn't fond of the idea! LOL! Since the introduction, these two want to call each other on the phone and are talking about their next playdate...did I mention they are FOUR! haha! So stinkin' cute!! They played "house" all evening... here is a pic of them going for a walk in the rain! CUTE!!

Supa Sta!

Well, I haven't told you some FUN, EXCITING details of this fall season! I was a top seller...in the top 20(actual number to be revealed later this month)! Anyway, I also made it to TEAM LEADER this season. So, since I had a successful season I was asked to be a part of this video shoot. Not just me...me and Cassity Reed and Sara Hendricks who are both on Team Blessed Fabulous were also top sellers and asked to participate in the shoot! Of course my sponsor Cindy Boyd who is also an MVB supa sta was a part of this as well! All dressed up...there was even a makeup artist there...BIG TIME! LOL! We were each asked to give a testimony about our experience with MVB. This sure was awesome...there are reasons why we do this and why it works...now it's out there for the world to see! SO...feels like I had my 15 minutes! hehe! AND BTW...Addison and Ava were able to participate in the Spring/Summer 2011 photo shoot. Only DSRs with top sales were allowed to bring their children to the model call...my Little divas were chosen to be a part of this exciting shoot! I can't wait until the catalog releases. The video shoot and the photo shoot where happening at the same time...so look close and you will see that my fashionistas also made a video debut! It's so fun to be a part of this company...the opportunity to be so close with corporate and grow my business as this brand grows is something you just don't get everyday! Ground Floor opportunities only come along once in a life time...so glad I snatched this opportunity right up! Here is the video link...Happy Watching!

Spring Has Sprung...well, almost


It's that time again...a new line from MVB is just days away from its debut! Check out my Ava in this to-die-for collection Blossoming Days. It's a hostess exclusive. What does that mean? If you want to own this outfit for your little fashionista...you must host a show. It's easy cheesy to host.
On a different note...with the launch of a new line...it's time for me to plan my launch event...theme? favors? food? You know me...all about the FABULOUS details.

I like to treat people special that have helped me grow my business! Food...not sure all of the details BUT cupcakes are a MUST. I am in love with pink clover designs...Amy has made me some fabulous printables...cupcake toppers! So Cute! My favorite cake diva also named Amy from Sugary Expressions will be making lemon with lemon buttercreme and raspberry with champagne flavored buttercream cupcakes! YUMMY! I have made my invitations...also a design by Amy at pinkcloverdesigns. I am making cute hair accessories to match this outfit for all of the ladies that are going to host a spring show! Just something fun that matches the theme! Those are the details I have for now...I LOVE party planning! I LOVE children's clothing! I LOVE hanging out with friends, girl time!
