Washington DC Trip 2010
McKenzie's 6th grade class went to DC for a week. We spent 2 nights sleeping on the bus (YUCK) but the rest of the trip was AMAZING! What a great city. The architecture, history and memorials really make you appreciate everyone who has given so much for our freedoms! McKenzie took over 500 pics and is going to make an album. If you'd like to see more we can send you the snapfish link!

We watched the changing of the guard at Arlington and our school had a wreath laying ceremony.

The Hope Diamond!

battlefield! I think we walked 800 miles that week!

Friends and Family,
Greetings! I want to let you know that I have become a consultant for Thirty-One. Thirty-One is a company that sells storage totes, bags, purses, baskets, stationary and more. The fabric prints are very cute and durable, and most items can be personalized with monogramming. I will soon start my monthly e-mailing list for specials, sales and promos! Check it out!

This is a HUGE step for me personally and professionally. My Longaberger business has been slow and the company continues to change! I LOVE working in the direct selling industry and Thirty-One is a new company with a lot of opportunities! I have set a 90 day goal to see what happens! If it's not successful I'll have my kit of amazing products and will move on! I continue to sell Longaberger and hold the title of Team Leader!

I would also be happy to send you a catalog, schedule a holiday party, or set up an online party for your friends. There are always new monthly specials on products and good deals for hosts. October offers blankets (value of $29 or $34) for just $10 with a $450 party!

Please share your thoughts with me!
Thanks for your support!
Love,
Amber
