NEW! Calendar
- I think it would be great to
list regionals (that are open to visitors of course) and the geographic
area they are in to help get more people to localized training! Anyone
can add events to the calendar but only the admins listed below can
edit/delete events. Note: Please remember to add the
geographic area of your regional and a link to your email for more
detailed information.

Jardiniere Pic - ooh I love this piece! And I love January Clearance
sales - it's a great time to visit the home furnishings dept of your
favorite department or discount stores...table cloths, placemats,
napkins... they're all on sale right now - in lots of beautiful springy
colors and fabrics. (This wasn't necessarily for my shows LOL - it was
for my dining room) Anyway - with the message board down this morning I
went shopping and bought some bright pastel table linens - and took a
few pictures when I got back home. So far the only new products I have
are the Candle Shoppe and the Jardiniere - but the rest are scheduled
for arrival on Monday finally woo hoo!
Message Board - yes - ezboard is going through growing pains again.
They are aware of the problems and are working to get the boards back up
and viewable again. Patience again... go make some calls & book some
shows :)
However... Marcianna sent some updated pictures as
promised - with that awesome grouping idea she posted to the board
yesterday - thanks - they are as beautiful as we all imagined! View
All Pics
And Rachelle - there's hope - my Jardiniere arrived
via UPS this morning - hopefully yours will be arriving soon too!

And yet one more variation on folders/binders.
For anyone who really wants to do the binders - but
can't find the page protectors - or enough of them - I just did an
entire set WITHOUT cutting pages apart - based on part Steve's folders
and part another person's recent suggestion.
- Leave the catalog intact (this means you also don't
have to worry about laminating the candle chart)
- Cut a strip of contact paper (or clear packing
tape) - about 3" wide and the length of the catalog.
- For reinforcement - cut a narrow strip of plain
paper - mine was about 3/4" wide and the length of the catalog.
- Open up the contact paper, laying it sticky side
up.
- Put the narrow strip of paper towards the middle of
the contact paper (one edge will be at the lengthwise center - and
there will be sticky overlap on both sides)
- Press the bound edge of the catalog on the overlap
sticky part - butted right up next to the narrow strip of paper.
- Fold the other half of the contact paper across the
bound edge of the catalog - folding along the inside edge of the
narrow strip of paper.
- Punch 3 holes in the reinforced "flap" and put the
whole catty in your binder as is.
- Do the same when the Spring & Fall (hopefully will
be back to vertical again) cattys come out.
Looks great - very easy - very cheap - very DONE. Find
the 1" Avery small size View Binders at Wal-mart in the office/school
supplies section. Price ranges from $1.99 - $2.34 (different parts of
the country)
