Week 8

Organize:
I'm in love with the tea party idea. It just so much fun! I don't know exactly when I'll use it, but I LOVE the idea. I also think a "summer fun" or "hot in the sun" theme would be great for summer time.
Connections:
I was going to have a workshop/crop, but reconsidering since I already have a workshop and a digital scrapbooking class in April. But still am considering. 3 events in one month is alot, plus the beginning of May I have a vendor fair at my house. Lots going on.
Create:
I didn't have any time to create this week with a super sick kiddo. My scheduled create time was effected by that. BUT I did still pull of my Creative Night Saturday evening.

Organize:
I think my big success was spreading the word about my workshops. I had a lot of interest in Creative Night and those that couldn't attend want to attend other events in the future. I continue to have challenges booking gatherings and having new orders/customers. I'm evaluating my passion and interest and I think I'm having problems moving in the direction more because I just don't like it as much. I loved the challenge because I had very structure goals that I could implement. I truly learned a lot over the last 8 weeks and pushed myself in all kinds of new directions. I worked really hard and was able to manage my family and CTMH pretty well. My upcoming goals are to continue to grow my workshop customers and continue to work towards getting gatherings and new customer orders.

The challenge has helped me with my business by learning more about direct sales and helping me to step out of my comfort zone as well as challenging me to find more time in my life to work my CTMH business.
