I am getting excited, as much has been going on in my life, and I am hoping everything will come together to really make a great Christmas season this year.
I had been doing a shoppe at a local flea market but gave that up at the beginning of September, the traffic to the flea market had trickled to an almost non-existent level, it was no longer a viable business proposition for me. Instead, I purchased a cabin-style shed, and have it as my AVON area, and now have it "open" when I host yard sales, or for personal visitors on other days, by appointment.
My 17 year old grandson moved back in with us, Aug 5th, and our 16 year old granddaughter will be coming this weekend, so in my personal life, hubby and I have gone from empty nesters to will-be having 2 teenagers again. It's going to be fun, and probably quite an experience.
The other week, AVON hosted a "Come Home For The Holidays" event at the Marriott Hotel in Greenville and it gave us chance to see all the upcoming Christmas items. I am thrilled with what I saw, they have really gone for the glitz and fun side of Christmas. Lots of light up decor and animateds, I'm sure my customers will love them. And we have a preview brochure online now so that people can order ahead of the items appearing in the main campaign brochures.
My team has been growing as well, and I'm hoping one of my downline, Rachel, will make Unit Leader either in this campiagn or the next, she has been working so hard and I really hope to see her advance in title. I've been focused on trying to help her, but now also have some other people who are interested in working towards becoming Unit Leaders, so I want to get her settled and then work one-on-one with them too. It's always nice to see people achieve something when they have been working for it, and Rachel is a very good upline, very conscientious in helping HER people, so she deserves the recognition.
And if anyone is interested in joining my team, you can do so online from anywhere in the US, simply by going to www.startavon.com. It costs $20 and you put my referral code : rosemarydempsey (all one word, no spaces, and all lower case letters) in the box where it asks for referrer, you fill out the application, and submit it. It takes maybe 5 minutes. AVON sends your new kit to you but your access to your account online is within a few hours, and if you send me your new account and district number, I'll send you some free AVON to help you get started. I also have an email group on yahoo for support and where you can find all manner of resources to help your new career. With all the Christmas shoppers already beginning to buy, there's never been a better time to join and get your business jump started.
Once Angelica, my granddaughter, is here, we are planning on doing parties between now and Christmas, with her as my helper. Being physically disabled, I wasn't able to do them by myself, but I'm looking forward to doing them now.
And having my grandchildren here, this year we will be having a family celebration at Christmas, something hubby and I had gotten away from with it just being us and family so far away. I'm excited about that too. It'll be fun!
Well, let me leave you all for now - hope everyone has a wonderful day, God bless:)

Happy Monday
It's the first day of a new work week, and I'm finally perking up after a slow start this morning. It was chilly and I'd had a restless night so really wan't moving much at all this morning, got hubby fed and out the door with his packed lunch, and I went back to dreamland, cocooned in my comfy bed. Awakened rather rudely again around 8am with sirens blaring outside and my dogs doing their canine chorus accompaniment. I love hearing that, but not when I'm in the depths of a good dream:(
So, washed dishes, mentored one of my team for a while and helped them do a return,wrote a quick note on my thoughts on the current state of education, now watching a movie and blogging. Going to place all my ads later, fold laundry and hunt for some seed packets that I've mislaid, so that I can get on with some seed starting.
Have a wonderful day:)

It's not sunny in SC this morning ...
Today it's actually pretty chilly out there still, and kind of overcast somewhat. looks like the sun is trying to come out but it's definitely not very WARM!!!So glad I got some of my AVONing done yesterday while the sun was shining and it was nice. This poor thyroid of mine makes chilly days seem like mid-Winter, I'm still under the covers and freezing here, and I know it's REALLY not that cold out.
So, yesterday was good, I headed out and took my $2 box and stopped by Southern Eyecare to show off my wares.I sold some of my goodies to the ladies there, and dropped off their brochures too. Met Kelly's parents, and Amanda gave me an order there and then, so that was a bonus!
The I popped in next door to Check 'n' Go, where my friend Yvonne has just started her new job and had said I could leave books out in there ...WOOHOO! She used to work way out in Moonville ...with the price of gas, I'm so glad she's now so close!
When I got home, I spent a couple of hours posting my ads, for AVON and my other businesses, on the various groups I'm on, on Facebook, Yahoo and Google, so am hoping to be maybe seeing some new customers and team members ... always exciting!
My phone was flashing and I had a voicemail from a lady who had picked up one of my brochures at the eye clinic last week, where I went for a second opinion (sent by my regular eye doc who is really good!) on the Marcus Gunn pupil and the drusen in the one eye, he concurred with Dr Rumple that he was right and that I have both:( But now I may have a new customer from that visit. Always a good thing!
Since I plan on spending most of the day at home (have to leave later as have a chiropractor appointment this afternoon when hubby gets home) I plan on doing some more online advertising amid my chores. Plus will take my $2 box with me when I visit Dr Joe, you never know which of his patients might want some AVON bargains, plus I need to pop some more brochures out on his table.
Hubby doesn't work tomorrow, it's his Friday off, so we'll be switching off the alarm, and having a lie in until our bodies awaken naturally. It's his birthday on Saturday but I've the flea market to work, so I'm going to take him to TGIF for lunch tomorrow and hopefully find some other "nice" stuff for him.
Anywayz, hope you all have a wonderful day:)

Back to blogging
I am amazed ... it's been TWO YEARS since I blogged on here, where has the time gone and how did I stay away so long? A lot has been happening in those two years. Going to have to get back with the program! LOL:)
Well, right now I'm a strong Unit Leader and working on getting back my Advanced Unit Leader title. The economy did a number on more than a few people, and I had a spate of my team end up going out bad debt, including one of my Unit Leaders, and so I lost my AUL title. Things happen though, you dust yourself off and start back doing what you do. I have a strong team of about 50 people now below me, with one Unit Leader (Jenn Jarvis) who is not only an awesome AVON lady but an awesome friend too! I just need to find another Jenn Jarvis ... but people join AVON for their own reasons, not mine, and right now I don't have anyone with the interest or drive in doing what Jenn and I are doing. Most have just joined AVON to get their own stuff at a discount, or for free by virtue of their commissions paying for their own goodies ... and that's fine too.
I have a little shoppe at a local flea market, Peddler's Junktion, it's in Greer SC on Hwy 101, exit 60 off of I85. Thw Winter took it's toll but the last cuple of weekends have warmed up and customers are once again venturing out and looking for bargains. I did $2 table to go with my $1 tubs last week, and that went down ok. I brought a box of $2 items home to keep in my car for spontaneous sales when I'm visiting my regular customers.
I'm also excited as April 12th AVON launches a baby company - Tiny Tillia - and from March 1st thru 31st, proud mamas, grandmas and even dads and grandpas can submit pics of their favourite baby (up to 24 months) in the contest to find the newest Tiny Tillia baby. You'll be able to submit online from the 1st of March and will need the information in the comment below to put on the entry form. Good luck y'all :)
You'll submit the pics on the website: www.tinytillia.com
You'll need my name as your representative: Rosemary Dempsey, and my location: Greenville, SC
my email: iluvnubians831@aol.com
and my acct #: 06405628
My team and some other local AVON ladies are doing a series of launch events in local cities, and pairing with a wonderful organization www.littlestepssc.org to try to raise funds for them at the same time. I'm really excited:)
As always, I am actively recruiting for new reps (ALWAYS!!!!) and you can now sign up online and get started almost straightaway. You simply go to www.startavon.com and use my ref code: rosemarydempsey in the box where asked, fill out the enrolment form, pay $20 by credit or debit card, and you'll be able to start your business. AVON mails the kit directly to you within 3-5 business days. I then send my new folks out some AVON goodies to help them get started, so even if you aren't interested, please tell all your friends who might be.
And for my customers, I've already begun my "shop early for Easter" promotion ... every customer who places a $100 order for DIRECT delivery at my website: www.youravon.com/rosemarydempsey
will receive $20 in FREE AVON, of their choosing, sent to them FREE after their original paid order ships out. And since AVON isn't just cosmetics, fragrance and skin care, you can do all your Easter gift giving online and get more for your money. Just my way of showing I appreciate my customers.
Well, I hope you all have a wonderfully blessed day; it is so beautiful out there and I have places to go! Enjoy your day:)
