How would you like to earn 20% off Reg Price purchases all the time?

You may ask what? Basically anyone joining my team www.shoptoearn.net/mrubino by 9-26 will receive a 20%* discount on regular price purchases all the time. *The only catch is you need to maintain your monthly purchase of $100 through your own site www.shoptoearth.net/your name. This is an exciting new ecommerce business that is going to make us totally financially independant. Basically, everytime you shop online from over 600 retailers you can earn cash back on those purchases. Many stores such as Target, Walmart, HSN, Home Depot, GiftCertificates .com and many many more. You can view the complete list at www.shoptoearn.net/mrubino and scroll through the list of retailers. Each retailer offers you cash back on your purchases. If we all recruit just 2 people to work toward this goal together and everyone meets there purchase committment from www.shoptoearth.net/yourname by the end of 1 year we could easily be making 15k-25k per month. Times are tough right now and I for one could certainly use extra money.
This works 2 different ways. Website owner $349-this way you just get your own website and you earn cash back on your purchases as well as anyone who shops through your website.
The other way is becoming a Broker $449 and this is where you not only earn cash back from your purchases but you earn points from those below you which turn into cash as well. The stores Design team Coordinator met some high achieving goals in her first month and scored a $4100 check. I have not been as agressive in searching for more than 2 people up till now and have earned almost $600 in my first 6 weeks with the company. That is the beauty with this. You can work as little or as much as you want over an above getting 2 people just as excited and willing to committ to their monthly purchase as you.
I know it seems confusing and yes it is a form of multi level marketing. However, the largest difference I have found is the fact that you only have to get 2 people. Most others you have to personally continue to get new people as long s you want to make money. This company is totally different. It allows you to actually help your team achieve goals. If you have you 2 people and you have a friend who joined struggling to get 2 you can help them get someone it will always help you and the points you earn all roll upward. As long as everyone is committed to their $100 monthly purchase of earth friendly green products ie: shampoo, cleaners, toilet paper , Atkins, belly bars and so many more things, we will all be sitting pretty.
However, since my store is not an online store you are unable to earn cash back from Scrapbook Central online. However, I have decided to reward those that join my team with a 20% off of regular price items all the time. As long as you have met your purchase each month. We as women can empower ourselves to achieve this goal. Most of us do some type of online shopping and especially with the holidays coming that could be tons of cash back. I myself told my family to go through my site to purchase gift cards for my middle daughter. It gave her a Giftcard and me cash back. It is a win win situation.
The steps to learn more that is the least confusing is you can go to: www.shoptoearn.net/mrubino
click my account in the top right corner
click overview in the top right corner of this page (there is a video or you can scroll below the video and click see how it works)this will enable you to go step by step through the process to see in black and white how easy it will be to achieve this amazing income in 12 mos or less. Rich Soviero is a pinting contractor and joined the company April 9 and has made over $150k since that date. Yes, I have actually seen his bank statements.

This is a win win- you get on track to earning $1000's per month and in the meantime save 20% on your purchases. For many of yout his savings alone would pay for your fee to join as a broker.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me on my cell phone at 954-675-8146

This is a limited time offer good until 9-26. Remember, the sooner you join the sooner you will begin making money.

It is hard to clearly explain it all in a blog. It is the most innovative ecommerce business I have ever seen that works!
There are conference calls and webinars daily that will walk you through a presentation right online. If you are interested just email or call me and I will begin forwarding the links for them.

New Products and MORE!

We have received in so many new products from CHA summer: We just received all the embellishments for Basic Grey-Ambrosia, Eva, Offbeat including the all new Milk Chocolate, White Chocaolate and Special Dark Chocolate chipboard alphas. As well as Milk and dark Chocolate in chip albums. A beautiful line from SEI called Windsor is perfect for those Heritage or wedding pages.
Tons and Tons of Fiskars including: Kimberly Poloson, Lil Davis, Heidi Grace, Fiskars and Cloud 9. We are working diligently to get it all put out. This is only a little of the new stuff. Much of the My Minds Eye is selling quickly. I almost forgot most of the new Tim Holtz Ideology products have arrived.
We will try to keep everything updated in the forums as items get put out. No doubt we will forget something.

Greetings from Chicago!!!!

Well we made it to Chicago (safely I might add..)! And what a BUSY first day we had.....We got into Chicago around 1:00 and our 1st stop was Fiskars for their preview party at 2:15...Yes we basically were flying by the seat of our pants....then it was off to Tim Holtz's class at 3:00 - which needless to say we were the LAST ones to walk in....PS...the class rocked! Then from there we went downstairs in the convention center for a great spread...Every local restaurant was there serving food - Gibson's Steakhouse, Girodanos, Gino's East and about 20 more...It was ALL good. From there we raced out to the Creative Imaginations Preview Party - again...super cool stuff. We ordered a TON of stuff fromthem - I've posted some product pics on the forums for you guys to check out. So needless to say we still were not done...we then ran to another hotel for the SEI Preview party....all I can say is WOW! There stuff is beautiful! Unfortunately alot of the product was is prototype form and we didn't get to see alot of the actual product - but it STILL looked amazing!

So that was our 1st day here....Busy, Busy, Busy!!!!! So keep checking back we will have loads of new pics for you guys everyday...here are a few random shots from today!

Me, teach a Class? lol

Ok you can all stop laughing now. I took today off and am cleaning house and doing laundryso I can go to girls night out and not feel guilty. We are going to see Sex and the City after the store closes. Beyond that I woke up this mornign and suddenly had a thought. I seem to always get one project a year done and it always seems to be a swatch for some line of product we carry. I have gotten really good at them. I decided that would be the one thing I could facilitate and not have people leave screaming. lol I got the computer going and filled out the form needed to teach a class at the store. Yes I know, I own the place but owner or employee there are guidelines to be followed and people to be accountable to. After speaking with Andrea(the Education Director for those that do not know) I put together the form and description and off it went in an email. I have decided to start a series of classes called Swatch Mania. What this means is that in each class we will create swatch tags for a particular product. Maybe you have 3 crackle paints but you woudl get if you knew the dried color actually matched your project. Whether you have all of them and do not want to open till you need it or are looking at getting some but want to make sure you truly like the color then these classes are perfect. In the case of Crackle Paint you will leave the class with 24 tags showcasing all the colors fo crackle paint on a ring. We will repeat this same concept for Tim Holtz Distress Ink, Dabber Paint, Cats Eyes, Dew Drops, Brilliance, Ranger Pigment Ink, Adirondack Pads and more. No more buying a product only to get home and find it truly does not match. The first class will be offered July 12th. So watch the event page of the website for further details. Also, if there is a particular swatch you are looking at creating email me. I will do it by popular vote.
That was my bright idea for the weekend. I am off to feed my crew and finish with the chores.

Happy Scrapping
Michelle

Greetings from Arlington Texas

Hi All,

Andrea and I are in Arlington, Texas. We just completed are last day of the Great American Scrapbook Convention. It was a HUGE consumer show. There were tons of people. Our booth was filled to the max with Inque Boutique. They have the most amazing products at such a reasonable cost. With the help of Chris and Tammy we got through the show and are now officially exhausted. A HUGE Thank You goes out to Monica of Stamp Asylum in Texas. Her and her crew were the most amazing people. They were such a blessing to deal with. First, Monica agreed to take our gridwall and then her and her crew helped break down our booth and pack it up. The people in Texas were amazing and we look forward to coming back again next year.

Now we are done and everything is packed up to go home. We head back tomorrow night and then jump right into the next event. We have decided to attend CKC Ft Lauderdale the 20-21st of June. We will take Inque Boutique, Stampers Anonymous and Ranger. I just cannot seem to sit still and keep filling our plate with more events and functions. For now we are exhausted and sleeping in tomorrow before we have to check out of the hotel.

Our Weekend with Tim!

Well the weekend has come to an end and to say the least I have never been so tired in my life. My goal of the weekend was to make Tim feel welcomed to Scrapbook Central and South Florida. We wanted to treat him to a style that is only fitting of a man of his calliber, talent and graciousness. I was also honored to meet Mario. What a down to earth guy. He was an absolute pleasure to spend time with during the trip.

We started his trip by picking him up from the airport in a stretch limo and returned to the store. The plane was a little early so we arrived at the store and began setting the room for the next days classes while we waited to begin the Meet n Greet at 6. The store was hustling with people anxious to meet the man himself. The man most of us were dying to meet and just be in the prescence of someone with such an amazing personality, creativeness and overall amazing human being. We had some T-shirts made up and Tim was signing away and chatting wth everyone throughout our time together. We still have some shirts if anyone is interested.
The limo picked us up and we went to the most amazing restaurant to eat call Chima in Ft Lauderdale. It is a Brazilian steakhouse on Las Olas. The food and atmosphere was so great. We probably all ate way to much.

I will update on the rest of the weekend later. I have had such little sleep and we leave for Texas Wed am for a show.

Night for now.

Ranger on the Road-Tim Holtz

Well ladies,
The time is almost here Tim and Mario arrive on Friday. I will pick them up and come straight to the store for our Meet N Greet. Tim is the most amazing, humble individual I have ever known. We are feverishly preparing for the visit trying to make sure we have the store set up and product all neat and tidy. On Tuesday we have 119 boxes comign from Ranger. This does not include the boxes from, Prima, Tonic and more arriving with Tims products. A newsletter went out the other day with class times and info pertaining the the store and visit. The store will open for class attendees at 8:45 so they can get seated for their 9am class. The store will open it regular time at 10am as well as 10 on Sunday. Please be patient as we only have 2 registers and will have 100's of people in the store throughout the weekend. We are going to have so much fun!

Once we get through that whirlwind weekend Andrea and I catch a plane on Wednesday for Texas and the Great American Scrapbook Convention where we have a booth filled to the brim with Inque Boutique product. Anyone who knows me I do not know how to stop or slow down. I add as much as I can to my plate. In the end it is always worth it.

On the home front I have to tell you it has been a journey of challenges lately. Most of you know my 3 children. Well Lexi the oldest was asking why we moved from our old home when she was born. We talked and I explained we wanted to have more children etc. She asked why we did Not just have 2 children. I replied because then we would not have Kennedy. She politely and straight faced replied why can't we just get rid of Carrington. Lexi and Carrington although 22 mos apart are like oil and water. Lexi believes she was meant to be an only child. Bless her heart. I am sure it will get better as they get older. It amazes me some of the things the kids say.

Kennedy was picked up from school Friday and was located in of all places the Principals office. My docile sweet little boy who is only 2 and a half and only recently started talking told his teacher to shut up. Now anyone who knows me well knows in our home this is a bad word and is Never spoken. How might you ask did he learn such a word. School. Amazing what comes back to bite them in the butt.

I am off 3 whole days since we are closed Monday for Memorial Day I am relaxing. Kids are all going to visit grandma tomorrow and Steve and I are spending the afternoon and evening at home relaxing alone. I am so looking forward to that. Well enough on my oh so boring life. Will chat more later in the week.

National Scrapbook 3 Day Weekend

All I can say ladies is OMG. We had such a fab time this weekend. We had a second crop room open to accomodate everyone and had 70 ladies milling around and cropping and having a great time over the 3 days.
We also had Find your Groove author Kitty Foster in the house Friday night and Saturday. She is the most awesome person. What a fun time everyone had with her. She taught a really great accordian album class. Everyone that took the class loved the project.
We took some really fun photos we will be posting.
Everyone loved there Welcome Gift which was a We R Memory Keepers Cutting System. The food was catered by The owner of the Coconut Creek Tap house and we had rave reviews.
We received in tons of new product on Thursday and Friday and the say the least it flew right out of the boxes. The new Sandylion products were awesome. Kelly Pannacci, Disney, Baby Girl and Boy and more.
We have more all new Creative Imaginations products arriving today I believe. Yeah for us.
Of course I am fighting a cold and am lacking motivation to even opne boxes. It is like being sick on Xmas.
I am getting Tammy to post the pics later. I just have to email them to her.

2008 Crops Posted

I finally got some time and was able to post the crops for the remainder of 2008.

We did change some rules and crop refunds for cancellations suring the grace period are done in store credit now. As before if you cancel after the deadline the fee is forfeited. The 3 day crops now require 2 day attendance to register. 2 weeks before the crop is there is any space left we will open it up to people who want to attend just 1 day. Call the store to go ont he wait list.
Don't forget to watch your email newsletter as we will be sending out class information on teh Tim Holtz classes this month. Then 1 week from that email registration will open online. Make sure when registering for crops or classes you do not put in any apostrophe's, hyphens or anything other than letters. It will cause an error and will not register you. The Tim class registrants will receive a confirmation email showing the amount being charged, classes chosen etc. If you do not receive this email you are NOT registered and need to register or followup with the store ASAP. Make sure to bring this with you the day of your class. Thsi will insure no mixup's occur.

WE'RE BACK!!!!!

Well we are back from CHA in Cali! We survived the VERY long flight back from Cali - even with the child who was 2 rows behind us making this squealing noise almost the ENTIRE flight! Oh...did I mention that the flight was 5 hours...yeah were tired!

So in a nut shell our week went a little like this...

We arrived Friday the 8th at about 10:45 p.m. Cali time. We checked into our hotel and pretty much called it a night.....we needed much rest after our nightmare shuttle bus ride that we posted about earlier....

Saturday we got up had a great breakfast at the restaurant in the hotel they had a really great buffet...we enjoyed the quite relaxing breakfast without kids! Then it was off to preview parties for a few companies...our 1st stop was Fiskars/Heidi Grace/Cloud 9 - there stuff was really great this year - I think you all will totally love it! After that our next stop was Creative Imaginations - They rock. We were lovin' all their stuff this year. They have some really kickin' bare elements stuff this year - I am totally lovin' this stuff! There paper lines were just as great - Everyone is gonna love the Tide Pools line....very cool.

Our last stop for the night was SEI - cute cute cute stuff! There baby lines Chicka-Dee and Chicka-Doo are AWESOME!!!!! This has to be the cutest line ....now I have to dig out all of the baby pics and use this line! Yeah like I dont have enough current pics! And they have a new line coming out (I dont think its available until May) but its beautiful...it's called Poppy! If you liked Jolie Chocolat - this will be right up your alley!

And the Sunday it stated...CHA began...we got giddy just pulling up to the front of the convention center and seeing the big huge CHA sign. Then we jumped in with both feet......booth after booth of amazing new stuff....making out hearts go a pitter patter! Basic Grey, Cosmo Cricket, Inque Boutique, Fancy Pants.....and more. And we continued this for 4 days straight!

But what a great fun, inspiring week! It's always so amazing to see all the awesome layouts and projects that have been created for CHA! They just rock! You come away from the show wanting to be just like them and create wonderful pieces of art! That being said I think you all will be pretty pleased with the wonderful products that we will be bringing into the store...I know I am!

Weve been posting pics for you all to check out to get an idea of what we will soon have. Over the next few days we will post more pics - we took 614 all together! Wowza! That was alot of pics...

We met Tim!

" border="0" alt="" />

Yep...we met him....super nice. And we got a chance to chit chat about his upcoming visit to Scrapbook Central!!!!!!!!! What a nice guy and a super uber creative! He has a boat load of awesome classes in store for us in May. So keep your eyes open for when the classes get posted. Here are some pics of our new bud Tim!

The weather here in Cali is spectacular.... Its so nice without the humidity. The nights are a bit chilly -but nice.
