UL at School!

I had a great time today sharing Uppercase Living at a school in Modesto. I had never considered doing an open house at a school, but it worked out great! The hostess (a kindergarten teacher) set out some snacks in her more-than-cute classroom, and her colleagues stopped by after school to join us. I had a great time, but in looking at the classroom, I realized am not cut out to teach kindergarten! :-)

Traditionally, teachers are one of the worst groups to try to present to because they like to talk, A LOT, but this group was great! We did our Make and Take project, looked at the various samples and idea catalogs, and came up with some creative gift ideas (ornaments and coasters!).

Okay, my fourth open house of the week is tomorrow afternoon, and I'm looking forward to staying here in Turlock for this one! :-)

The First of Five!

I just had the first of five open houses that are scheduled for this week. It was in Ripon (my fourth one in that fine city with another scheduled for next week), and I booked two more open houses tonight for November. One is in Escalon, and the other will be in Dos Palos of all places! It seems that there aren't many demonstrators in "them there parts", so they all are booking through me.

It's a busy time, but it is so fun to see people so excited about what they can do with the Uppercase Living products. No one at tonight's open house had ever heard of Uppercase Living before, so it was fun to expose them to this fun and personalizable (is that a word?) product. They couldn't believe that UL offers over 50 fonts and 32 different colors. I mean, how much more personalized can you get?

It's busy!

If you've taken a look at the calendar on my website (http://gena.uppercaseliving.net), I'm sure you've noticed the number of open houses scheduled for October.  It's crazy!  If you would like to attend an open house with me, just let me know.  I love having someone go along with me; it makes it that much more fun!  

If you are like me, you are looking for unique and personalized gifts that don't cost an arm and a leg.  Well, Uppercase Living has many, many items to choose from and a limitless "MyDesign" feature where you can create absolutely any name, saying, scripture, etc... that you desire in any of over 50 fonts and 32 colors.  Isn't that great? 

So..... if you are interested in ordering a few things for the holidays, let me know and I can add your items to another open house order, or perhaps you want to schedule an open house yourself so that you can earn free and half-price products.  Remember, double up rewards (the amount you have spent at other open houses x 2 and applied to your own open house) expire six months from the date of purchase.  

Also, the last day to order for "before-Christmas" delivery is November 30th, so don't delay!

Gift Ideas!

I was blessed enough to be able to spend some time with my mom today. We stopped by Dd's Discount, and I found some great glass coasters in a brushed silver holder that will be great to put initials on for Christmas gifts. I also thought that maybe I should put Christmas designs on them such as snowflakes, ornaments, Christmas trees, and such so that they would be a set of Christmas coasters. The coasters were clearance priced for $2.99! Is that great, or what?! I know many of you are thinking of making a set of coasters for some of those on your Christmas lists, so I thought you'd want to know about my great find.

I have some other gift ideas, but I don't want to post them here in case some of my family visit this blog. However, if you are able to come to an open house with me, I gladly share the great gift ideas I've come up with and made. Shhhhh.....don't tell my family!

Remember to keep your eyes open; great gifts are all around you waiting to be discovered. If you are interested in earning free product and half-price catalog items, all you have to do is host an open house. You can check out my available dates on my website: http://gena.uppercaseliving.net

Happy Tuesday to you all!

Orders Going In!

Hi there!

I wanted to let you know that I have many open house orders going in, so if you would like an item and would prefer to pay the lesser shipping rate, please let me know what you want and I'll add it to another order and make sure you get it.

The holidays are just around the corner, and I am busy creating personalized gifts for my family and friends. Let me know if I can help you create some memorable gifts for those on your Christmas list!

Thanks!

Biggest Open House Yet!

Last Thursday, I had my biggest open house yet in Ripon! It was lots of fun, and boy, can women talk and laugh it up! The only problem I had with that large of a group was getting all of their attention at the same time to be able to give them information. I applied one of the hostesses expressions that she had ordered from a previous open house on her wall. It turned out great!

Let's see.....any new news? Well, as a matter of fact there is! First of all, be sure to check my website (http://gena.uppercaseliving.net) frequently as the monthly specials are always changing and any new information will be posted on my home page. Also, October is almost full with open houses already, so if you are thinking of hosting an open house in order to get holiday gift shopping done, you need to contact me quickly! Remember, if you host a qualifying open house, you will earn free and half-price product, as well as be eligible for hostess only expressions.

I am hoping to post some pictures of my youngest daughter's bedroom which we just re-did. She wanted flowers in her room, so I let her pick out which ones and which colors she would like. We had a lot of fun painting, moving furniture, and putting up her flowers.

Remember, I'd love it if you would email me pictures of your projects. If I choose to add your picture to my website, you will earn a five inch embellishment of your choice!

Keep the holidays in your thoughts; perhaps Uppercase Living can be part of your gift-giving this year.

I'm still here!

I've had three open houses since I last posted, and the one last night was a great time. It was especially nice to stay afterward and visit with the hostess; it gave us time to catch up with one another! :-)

I just want to put a little bug out there that I will be having a Make and Take night with various holiday items. I'll post pictures of what you can choose from, along with the prices, and if you are interested, you can pre-register and join us for the fun. If you think you might want to join us, mark Thursday, Oct. 23 at 7:00 PM on your calendar.

It will be necessary for you to pre-register and pay so that I can have all of the supplies ordered, here, and ready to go. There's some great items, so check back soon.

Okay, off to make the final few decisions for Make and Take night!
