Getting ready for Christmas

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:)
