My goodness, how did we already make it to October??? This past 9 months have zoomed by, and I’m about 6 weeks away from beginning the whole Christmas tree thing. Pretty sure I have some pine greenery still out from this past Christmas and in weeks I’ll be pulling everything out for the holiday decorations.
Pool Boy and I have had a busy year with health issues, but things have leveled off thankfully, and it’s time to move forward. With your support of my very small business, Jim and I earned the Alaska Incentive Trip which I didn’t anticipate happening back at the beginning of 2025. Pool Boy enjoys the Alaska cruises, so I’m thrilled we will have this opportunity, but I know it wouldn’t be possible without your support. (We are required to post that less than 1% of demonstrators achieve these results.)

So October is going to be CUSTOMER APPRECIATION MONTH!!!! Each week during the month there will be an ordering special, AND at the end of the month we will have prize drawings as well!!! These specials are availabe on ALL ORDERS – through my online store or ANY of our classes!!!

Final Thoughts…..
If you’ve followed me for awhile, you know I believe in the whole “double duty” thing where one project works for multiple uses – facebook live, youtube, the website, etc. Well, that’s how my Customer Appreciation Month works too!!!!
Here’s an example – Sign up for Christmas Card Class on Oct. 14 and place an order of $50 or more, receive your choice of a FREE ADHESIVE and TWO ENTRIES in the Prize Drawing. That’s more like triple duty, but get the idea???
Thank you again for your support this past year with my very small business. Pool Boy and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
God Bless!
