Starting out

So I started my Heritage Makers ride Dec of 2007.  For an entire YEAR I let it idle.  Just sit, and idle.  I create 2 albums - one for my Parents on their mission, and one for Ima's 80th Birthday.  I knew that I LOVED the concept and the idea behind Heritage Makers so I signed up as a business consultant but I just couldn't do it with everything else going on in my life at that time.

In Oct/Nov of 08 I  decided it was time to start doing something - anything.  So I told a few people about it. One person being Jennifer Stratton!  Now Jen is Miss. CREATIVE!!  VERY crafty, passionate, and JENERGISTIC!  (yes, I made up that word)  Even though she is very "hands On" crafty,  I knew if I could share the Heritage Makers spirit with her she'd be hooked. BUT you have to be VERY delicate about these things...So, to make a long story short Jennifer became a Heritage Maker and together we embarked on a NEW Adventure!! 


I did my VERY first Booth and Ohhh it was SOoo sad.  I didn't have a banner and so I painted one!  So, so sad... well,  you'll get the idea in this picture.



Scary huh!
Don't worry, it slowly got better as I got back into the swing of doing events.....


The Business Expo - again we're slowing getting back into this...



Ohhh I got my Biz Card!  That was exciting and fun to create! - I got that at Office Max!  :o) I got to design the front and the back of the card - Hmmm I need to order more!!

Lets see, I've been doing a few events -


Ohhh  This is the baby contest booth - tons of FUN!  I did it with Alina and borrowed lots of cute baby projects from Heidi Arave! Heidi's cute little baby girl is that big framed poster in the middle of display.  See I'm slowly improving and getting the hang of being back in the biz world... LoL
Both Alina and Heidi are AMAZING Designers and have adorable projects in the Template Gallery.  You can search their names to see their projects.


I GOT MY BANNER!  Yeah!  I had to show this pic - it really goes under events but I was SO excited to show it.  Katrina (my niece) designed this banner for me so I had an official banner to hang up at my events.  Isn't it awesome!  She did a FANTASTIC Job!  :o)



This is my latest booth - the Bridal Fair.  That was lots of fun but HARD Work.  I ran this booth by myself and quickly learned that was a mistake!!  There wasn't enough of me to go around and answer all the questions. But hopefully I've answered them all by now, if not please feel free to contact me!  :o)

I've done a few more, but this should give you an idea of where I started and where I'm at now.  Heritage Makers is amazing and I LOVE It!  If you haven't checked them out recently, I invite you to come and take a look!  It's SO exciting.  They are new, and growing and its the perfect time and place to become a new consultant with HM.
