What's new?

What's new with me?

Well, lots of great stuff is happening at the MIM world. Lots of new CHA stuff coming in weekly, new website coming on this Mon, (yay! Melissa from GreenPixel Designs has done a great job with our new website), lots of new customers, new events to go to, new plans for expansion, new potential franchisees, a new old high school buddy back in my life after 20 yrs of being apart, new neice or nephew coming in Oct..... Oh yeah, and husband starts a new job on Mon.

I'm so excited about all the new stuff that has been arriving from CHA. The new Cosmo Cricket has been a best seller. I just got all the new Basic Grey collection packs plus the matching brads and buttons (they're so adorable). Finally, I also got the Crop-a-dile 2 Big Bite in. A couple of my customers were playing with it yesterday and said it's definitely a must have. No more needing the piercing tool to punch holes for brads in the middle of the page. I love that.

Oh yeah, one other thing, I'm auditioning to be on the TV show called Dragon's Den on this Mon. I've been working on my business plan and presentation for two weeks now. I think I'm finally ready for that. I'm sure Mon will be a nerve wracking day for me as I have to drive my husband to his new job (he had a company truck before), then go to the audition (by myself, yikes) wait and wait and wait. I'm hoping they will like my presentation and understand the concept. I'll have picts of the mobile store there, but if they really want to see it, they're more than welcome to come out and see. I'm also going to do a video audition and then I'll email everyone and let them know where they can see it. They want us to direct people to the website, watch the video audition and then they get to vote for their favorite one. The top 10 video auditions get selected to go directly to Toronto to do their presentation in front of the dragons. I'm hoping that lots of my customers and friends will vote for me.

Anyways, nothing else new, heading to Mayerthorpe tomorrow for a charity fundraiser for the Kinette Club. The ladies there are raising money for the Cystic Fibrosis charity and I'm happy to be a part of that and I'll donate 5% of the sales to them.

My friend Shannon Miller is also hosting a weekend retreat in Edmonton, she's helping to raise money for the Kids Kottage next weekend, another great charity.

I still have openings for National Scrapbook Day, so if anyone would like to book me to come, pls let me know.

I hope everyone is having a great spring! Take care and drop me a line any time.
