Want a neat pantry like this?  Thirty-One Gift’ square utility totes and little carry alls are perfect for organizing your home.  Add personalization so everyone knows what’s in the tote and items are easy to find.  Oh, such organization feels so good!

Seeing so many blessings in life!

February 22, 2012

As I read “one thousand gifts” by Ann Voskamp, I am deeply inspired and my heart renewed by the challenge to be always grateful, even in the struggles of life.   Ann’s journey has indeed been a hard one, but I love the bravery she shows in honestly sharing her heart, and how God has moved her spirit to euchariseo!  I highly recommend this book! 

An Amazing Training Day with The Glory Girls!

Deb Bixler provided a fabulous day of skill building for a room FULL of Thirty-One Gifts consultants at the Hooksett Public Library, Hooksett, NH.    I was thrilled to partner with Directors Sheree Schuler, of Minnesota and Dede LaBelle of Milton, NH to offer a fun day of training for our teams.  We are committed to offering many opportunities to teach new skills and to help consultants reach their goals with Thirty-One Gifts.  Bringing Deb Bixler, Direct Sales Guru, to New Hampshire is an example of the commitment we have to our teams.  They are poised for tremendous success in 2012.  Go ladies!!

Party Favorites!

Superbowl Awareness

Party His Socks Off!

With the Superbowl 2 weeks away, it’s time to make those Super Sunday Party Plans!

Portable Party!

Even if you’re not a football fan, no one wants to be stuck in the kitchen when everyone else is partying in front of the television!

The Serving Tray Basket is a great way to carry  appetizers from the kitchen to the couch in one trip! Plus, with a removable liner, clean up is a lot easier than carpet spot-cleaning!

Unintentional Messiness

There will be spills, crumbs, and confusion; be prepared for them!   Fill a Square Utility Tote with extra napkins, paper towel rolls, your preferred carpet spot pre-treater, & a handheld wet-vac. Now set it somewhere close to the action but out of the way like behind or beside your couch, under the coffee table, or next to you entertainment center. If the excitement causes a mess, you won’t have to run and hunt for any of your trusted supplies.

Personal Chip Sacs!

Passing a big bowl of chips can get dicey – especially in tense moments when your team is making a big play.  A simple solution is: stop sharing! A big bowl of chips can make a big mess with just one fumbled pass.  Line a few Littles Carry All Caddies with a small paper sack or plastic wrap and set the big chip bowl at your snack buffet with a handy scoop or large tongs.  Your guests can refill their chips as needed — and this tiny tote’s handle makes party plates overflowing with appetizers and chips a thing of the past!

Napkin Caddy & Sauce Bottle-olier

Keep all your sports fans happy by keeping their favorite sauces & condiments handy! Whether adding a dash of hot sauce or a squirt of ketchup – make sure your guests can easily get to what they want without missing a big play! Fill the 5 exterior pockets of a Mini Organizer with a variety of sauces, condiments, or spices and add extra napkins & flatware to the large inner pocket for extra convenience!

Get that Tailgate Feel Indoors (without the mess)

Want that tailgater vibe within sight of your tv? Put a few ice packs (not loose ice) in the Thermal Container and fill the rest with drink cans! Now your guests can get that “reaching into the cooler” moment without a drippy, ice-melting-to-a-puddle cooler scratching up your floor. Plus, the Thermal Container comes in small or large so you can choose the size that best suits your party’s needs.

Decorating & “Undecorating”

Don’t let your excitement get smothered before the game! Decorating with Thirty-One is a breeze!  Set out your supplies, then organize them in an Organizing Utility Tote. You can keep tape, scissors, and other small necessities in the side pockets and easy-to-reach while your hang streamers, banners, or signs.

Keep a little notebook and pen is the largest side pocket! Brainstorms for next year’s party or just your next party often hit while you’re hip-deep in setting up today’s party.  Don’t let those great ideas get away! Jot them down & keep them with you without leaving your decorating halfdone. Plus, when it’s time to take it all down, you can note anything that needs replacing (torn tablecloths, ripped streamers, etc).

Take the Party with You!

If you’re not partying at home, Thirty-One products can still make the party go smoother.

Expand-A-Tote Day Extender — If you’re going tailgating or to a barbeque, pack a few cold weather necessities in this versatile tote! An extra throw or blanket, firstaid kit, and handwarmers can come in very handy. With the Expand-A-Tote Day Extender, you can keep them all right at your side, and if the day warms up, you can unzip the middle to expand the tote and keep up with any accessories that are too hot for the party: scarves, gloves, caps. Telling your kids to put their gloves in this tote will help them keep up with their gloves and save you from discovering that they’ve lost a glove at the tailgate-party when you’re getting them ready for school the next day.

Large Utility Tote — Don’t make six trips! We’ve all done it. Walk from the car to the house, car to the house – carrying ugly plastic sacks with extra chips, drinks, a bag of ice, spare cups, and whatever else you’re taking to your friend’s party.  Just neatly stack it all in a Large Utility Tote and set it in your trunk. When you get there, take out the tote and make one trip to the house.  Once inside and empty, you can put yours and your kids coats in the tote to make getting them ready to go outside in the cold a little easier!

Zip-Up Pencil Pouch — Don’t want to be tied down to a large purse or tote for the party? Pack those necessities that won’t fit in your pocket in the Zip-Up Pencil Pouch. Keys, cellphone, tissues, and other supplies easily fit in the pouch, and the pouch will tuck into your coat your jacket! Or with a Wristlet strap you can keep the pouch close by without keeping your hands full!

Thirty-One products can make your party go smoother! Whatever your plans are, remember to have a great time!

November 3, 2011

Grateful for my new I-pad and flowers from my fabulous director, Corrie Edling!

Thirty-One Gifts Rewards Leadership!

October 26, 2011

Alden & I had such fun in Cancun, Mexico earlier this month!  Yes, Cancun!  We could hardly believe it as we haven’t had a real vacation like this ever!  Just the 2 of us!  Wow!  How did we get there?  Courtesy of Thirty-One Gifts!    Yes, FREE!  Thirty-One paid our air fare, hotel & meals.  They even gave us travel money for food in the airports AND $350 each to spend when we were there!  We had our first couples massage and traveled to Chitchen Itza for a tour of the Mayan Ruins.  It was amazing to just relax and be taken care of for 7 days!  And, next year I plan to bring many of the ladies on my team.  It can totally happen!  When my director, Corrie Edling, went in 2010, I never imagined I’d be with her this year on the Leadership trip.  But with commitment to my biz last winter, there we were!  Thank you, Thirty-One!!

Why?

September 11, 2011

One of my favorite parts of being a leader with Thirty-One is helping other ladies discover their “why” … why they want to build a Thirty-One business.  For some it’s to pay off credit cards, some to be home with their children, some to leave a job they dread getting up to every day. 

Recently I had a great conversation with a consultant who didn’t necessarily need the money, but loved Thirty-One and felt called to start a business.  We talked for some time as she was driving cross country to her family’s new home in Washington.  She delved deep to share that she has a tremendous caring for others and is a big-picture thinker who truly wants to live at the world level.  She has a goal of doing mission work for those less fortunate, and to work in cancer research and make a significant difference for those who suffer from this horrible disease.  As she’s about to have her first child, her life will soon shift to the 24 hour care of her precious newborn.  Yet, she still wants to work her Thirty-One business so she can donate money for cancer research. 

I am inspired by her as she lives her life with BIG goals.  Interestingly, the next lead I received from our Home Office today was a request for a party.  Where?  In Washington!  6 miles from where she is staying!  It is so much fun watching God work and unravel His plan.  May God bless her & her husband as their family expands and as they build their new home in Washington.  May His work always be done!

Favorite Summer Thirty-One Product!

June 28, 2011

I have been a  Thirty-One consultant for 1.5 years and have so many favorites but, my most favorite is the Large Utility Tote.  When we head to the beach, we load up our large utility totes and head for the lake.  All of our towels & snacks fit perfectly.  After we are finish with our day, I load up the wet towels in the large utility tote & to the laundry room we go!  Next use for the large utility tote?  Laundry basket!  It works great!

These bags have so many uses!  My favorite uses for the large utility are:

  • Beach bag for the lake, pool or the beach!
  • Dirty clothes/Clean clothes
  • Storage in the car – perfect for the trunk!
  • Groceries –  I take mine to BJs and load it up.  It is easy to carry in the house.
  • Storage in the kids’ rooms
  • Black totes with grey block lettering will be carrying my son’s college gear off to college and then serve as laundry baskets and can easily be stored under the bed when not in use.
  • My consultant kit – it holds all my products perfectly.  I can easily carry it into my parties.
  • It makes the PERFECT gift for most anyone!

These totes are the June special.  You can get one for just $9 when you spend $31, and you can get more than one for every multiple of $31 you spend.  How awesome!!  Sale ends June 30 so contact me quickly if you want to order.  www.jointhefun31june2011customer
