Home and ready to RUN!

Got home from San Diego for CAbi Scoop – what an incredible experience!  From the moment we were greeted at The Manchester Grand Hyatt, where we received excellent service and had a wonderful harbor and city view from our room, to a fabulous time at our closing event where we partied with CAbi Girls from around the country….it was just the best! I am continually grateful to be part of this amazing company that provides opportunity and support for women around the world.

One of the new events added to the Scoop was a 5K Benefit Run.  Not only did something like 500-600 CAbi Girls make it to the 6 am start time (yikes!) but we also raised over $10,000 for the Heart of CAbi Foundation.

Vickie Friedman and I met up by coincidence and ended up running the entire race together. Thanks, Vickie, for being an awesome running partner and can’t wait to run with you again!  Plus super fun to see Lisa Hetzler at the race, who has joined me on runs in Nashville – you go girl!

And all along the way of this four day conference were great classes with inspiring women leading and teaching.  Hopefully….no, not just “hoping” but planning and WORKING on a great season, both in life and business as I start on Spring 2012, working with and for wonderful women in my community!

 

A new year, new start, new look!

Hard to believe that January 2012 is already almost half through!  2011 was a challenging year for many, including my family.  We decided to move from San Luis Obispo to Paso Robles, and doing so presented many challenges.  15 years of living in the same place, along with accumulating many things from multiple households, created a massive task of sorting, packing, selling, moving, and even more sorting and selling.  Who knew that some of the hardest tasks would end up being one of the best things we could do?  The realization that I did not have to keep things just because they were old, vintage, antique – or had belonged to family for many years – this was really big!

Yes, I knew how much work it would be as well as having to make these decisions. But once started, it became more freeing than I ever imagined.  A great lesson learned – that it is ok to let things go. Not only ok, but really necessary.  No one really NEEDS to have so many possessions – we just want them, or have a hard time letting go.  What a big distinction and realization.

2012 is a new start in so many ways.  I am so excited to be completing my 4th year as Spring 2012 Season begins with CAbi, sharing new surroundings in my new home, and thoroughly enjoying country life.  Let’s hear it for a new year!

The Price Is Right….for CMR Designs

 

It’s April 12th and only 2 days left at current prices!  A few of you have gotten a GREAT deal and I am so happy for you.

 

This is one of my personal favorites and I get so many compliments when I wear it.  It’s the split design and is mostly neutral gray with light blue, pink, smoky gray and white Swarovski crystals.

 

It’s great because it goes with so many things and of course, I love the bling!

 

Prices will be double what they are now….so waiting just costs you more!  Call me at 805-441-2570 and let me know if I can bring by the box and you can choose your own amazing one-of-a-kind CMR Designs Bracelets.

4 Days Left!

April 15th is almost here – and that means more than Tax Day! Although Tax Day is extended to April 18th this year, lower prices on CMR Designs Bracelets will NOT be extended!  I am busy today with “Monday Madness”, an open house tonight at my house, so send me an e-mail or call and we will catch up tomorrow.

Small bracelets start at $50 and the extra large are $85 – a steal when you realize they are more than DOUBLE that in stores!  I love seeing these on women and they would make a great gift for birthdays, Easter, graduation….not to mention a great accessory for YOUR outfit!

Can’t wait to see one on you!

Going, Going….Up Soon!

The days are flying by and this is your reminder that Caroline’s amazing one-of-a-kind art pieces are still available at her lower prices!  As of April 15th, everything will cost more.

This one is so cool and really sparkles with the swirl of Swarovski Crystals and the painted design.  The photos on the web hardly do justice to how beautiful the pieces are and what a great “bling” they give when you have them on your wrist.  Fun to wear and fun to see!

 

 

You can reach me at 805-441-2570.  If  you are not from my area, these are super easy to ship and will arrive safe and secure to you.  Easter and Mother’s Day are coming fast – what a great gift idea or perfect accessory for your Spring wardrobe!  Have a great day and hope to hear from you!

 

 

It’s Coming!

Here’s a really cool original CMR Designs Cuff Bracelet.  This is one of the slit style that looks like you are wearing bangles!  Prices will DOUBLE on April 15th, so if you have wanted one for yourself or a gift, get in touch with me now.  You can post a comment, send an e-mail or call at 805-441-2570.  Happy to help while I can!
