Let me help you become a part of a great team of women!!!

I have said before that I LOVE working for Clever Container. Not only are the products wonderful, but the company is wonderful to work for. If you read this blog and you are absolutely in LOVE with Clever Container and our products, contact me!! I am able to give you additional information, answer questions you may have and sign you up! Easy peasy!!

Since I began with Clever Container, the support and training I have received has been incredible. We have a team that works together offering advice, photos, support and motivation. The company also provides mentors to its consultants as well as weekly and monthly training.

The best thing of all is that finding leads is something else the company helps you with. Each month, I receive emails from Home Office with names and information on people who are interested in Clever Container whether it be for product, catalogs, or wanting to become a consultant. That speaks volumes as to the company and their mission statement.

Clever Container Company is dedicated to helping people take control of their lives (1) by providing high-quality, innovative and functional tools—along with practical techniques and useful information—for organizing the world around them and (2) by offering business opportunities to motivated individuals who share our belief that an organized environment can lead to a more productive, fulfilling life for each of us.

Clever Container also offers incentives for their consultants from Day 1. The first 90 days is called your Fast Start period or RSO.

Clever Container Tabletop Display Banner-- $85 Value 

You really don't need to keep inventory with Clever Container. You buy your kit for $149 plus S&H at $25. It arrives on your doorstep very quickly and you get started. 

The other items you earn as you go by hosting parties of your own or holding workshops or doing Vendor fairs. By holding parties open for yourself, you are then able to get some additional products to show people when they ask about them. 

It would have been a money saver for me to be able to complete the RSO period. I would have had we not been in the middle of our adoption. I had to cancel all of the Vendor Events and parties I had scheduled during my RSO period. 

But, I could not think of a better reason for me to have missed my RSO period- our beautiful son. 

For you, the RSO period is obtainable. These items are so great and the fact that the company gives them away to help their consultants succeed is GREAT! 

Monthly specials and incentives also help with sales!!

Contact me today for more information!! If you love organizing and helping people become organized- this is the company for you!!

April and May are Appreciation Months for Teachers, Secretaries and Nurses

Did you know that April and May are Appreciation Months to celebrate some very important people in our lives?

As a "retired" teacher, I know that it is a tough job with long hours and at times goes unappreciated.  Much of a teacher's appreciation comes in the form of students who are succeeding and improving or in the smiles they receive from their students each day.

For one week each year-- April 6-10-- there is time set aside to let those teachers in your life know they are appreciated.

Other appreciation days set aside this month are Secretary's Day on April 24.

May brings Nurses Appreciation and May 12 is Mother's Day.

Don't get caught without that special gift for that special person.

New Project: Office Desk Redo

I am so excited to have found this desk. Our office is slowly becoming filled up. After creating Declan's nursery and cleaning out our guest room, the space has become limited. Our office space is also limited as we use this room for storing books on anything computer related for Gary and anything Home Design for me. We also have magazines for reference and craft supplies which include paint, canvases, wooden letters, ribbon, you name it we have it stored here. This is all on top of the already needed office supplies, file cabinet and Clever Container business items for me. Phew!!

So, the first step in downsizing and organizing this space included selling my desk which had already been moved to the guest room. This didn't have any function for guests at all so it was sold.  So, the decision had to be made- do we only have one desk in the office or do I find a small one just for my business purposes? After looking at my pile of files and business supplies on the floor, I decided to search for a small writing desk with drawers for storage.

This is what I found. I knew I could refinish anything I got, but I didn't want something too bad off. I settled for this desk. The drawers all operate smoothly, it is made of real wood and I have a vision already in my head of what it will look like finished.

Here are the before pictures:

You can see that there are some pretty damaged places on the desk top, but the rest of the desk is in great condition. After stripping the top, I found that many of the scratches were superficial and only through the paint. There are a couple of spots that will need patching and sanding before I stain, but it is doable.

Just like my dresser redo, the top will be stained a dark Ebony and the body will be painted with Valspar Sonora Rose 2002-3B. I fell in love with the color immediately. I also want to play around with stenciling patterns on this project as well as covering the pulls I saved from my dresser redo with fabric.

Stay tuned!!

Update on this dresser redo: I did follow through with most of my plans on this project. After painting the dresser with the rose color though I didn't like it. However, it will stay this color until I have the time to repaint it. It still isn't completely finished, but I am posting some of the photos of part of the finished project. Sometimes, if I start on a project and begin to dislike it half way through I get discouraged (bored) and move on to greener pastures so to speak.

Almost Completed 

Not happy that the wood filler I used that was supposed to be stainable really didn't work that great
