Its been a while

Well it has been a while since anything has been posted on this blog. The truth is that we haven't had a good year for 2011 as far as women's group. I think that we are getting back on track. In December, we had an annual favorite things party! It turned out really fun. I know the holidays are kind of crazy but a few were able to make it. We had some great gifts: Starbucks gift cards, feng shui candles, hobby lobby gift cards, movies and more. We also had pizza and everyone bought their favorite appetizer or dessert. It was some good food and great laughs. We learned alot about each other and talked about many different things. Over all it was a huge success! That night we also decided to bring favorite things back in the summer. Hopefully all of you will be able to make it this summer, it is truly a fun filled night. the best part is that you get to leave with 3 new favorite things to try!

At the favorite things party, Jen T. started talking about feng shui. I think just in general talk I learned so many new things. All of us girls were eager to learn more. The first two months of the year turned out to be extremely busy for us all so we made the feng shui for March. I think I am speaking for all of us, that we learned so much more! I have to personally thank Jen for offering up to teach us a few things about feng shui. And thank you to Camille for offering up her cute little condo as the location. A few things I learn:

• You can feng shui everything, even down to your desk at work. Some people do it! I think I will start with my house first. It is kind of fun to see where you would put things even down to your desk.
• Feng shui can be overwhelming. the idea is to not take on this huge project and do your entire house in once night but to take it one room at a time. 
• Each part of your hours represent different areas of your life, depending on your house set up. 
• One thing Jen said that really stood out is: 'only put things in your house that you love!' if you don't love it then it can become a drab and can create feelings of not wanting to spend time in that room. 
• another thing that Jen said that i loved was: 'if it is broken why keep it? people often wonder why their lives are not going right when they keep broken things all around them. If you are not going to fix it right then, then get rid of it. It brings in bad feng shui to keep negative things or energy in your home.' So true!

There are so many other points that I could talk on and on about, but it would be a very long blog post. Those are a few good points that stood out to me. Thank you again Jen! I think you did an amazing job!

We sent out an email for the next upcoming 3 months. April will be unfinished projects month. There are several of us that have unfinished project and it is just a matter of sitting down and getting them done. It is always better when you have friends around so we decide to make a night out of it! No dates have been set yet and location is to be determined. If you would like to host this one, please email me (Sam) or Kerri and we will set up the date with you.

May will be Essential oil. We will also need a host for this. The date will be TBD when we find a host. Again, if you want to host email us and we will set that up.

 June will be our summer version of our favorite things. Please bring 3 of the same item that is your current favorite. It can be anything from plants, candles, gift cards, picture, book, movies, face product, hair product, body lotion, etc etc. We will also ask you to bring your favorite food that will go great with a BBQ. This will be held at Mary Ann's house. The address will be sent in an email along with a date as it get closer. This is a hit so I hope you can all make it.

This wraps up my post. If you have an idea for an upcoming month please let us know. We are always up for ideas! I hope to see you all very soon and next time I promise I will post pictures. AND not be so long between post. See you soon!!!
