I am in DIRE need of your help!

Hello Everyone!! I usually don't ask for any favors but I really, really need your help. I am $8,000 short of being a Gold Seller with Gold Canyon. That title goes to anyone who sells $25,000 is sales from July 1 - June 30. You are awarded with the beautiful Pearl Necklace that is shown below, and I have been dreaming about this necklace (for real)! I missed this last year by a little more than $5,000 and this morning I woke up to my name being published in our Wednesday's Weekly newsletter and how I am marketing my business, and it listed my goals for convention... Now if that isn't pressure, I don't know what is! I need to reach $8,000 more in sales by June 30th. I am determined to do it, because otherwise I will not be able to show my face at convention! (Maybe...)

So I am asking a huge favor for you to either place an order on my website at www.wix-n-stix.com or if you could REALLY help me out and open up your hearts and book a party with me in June I would be MOST appreciative! I will be doing a basket drawing for all those who have shows for me from now until the end of June for a Basket filled with great Gold Canyon stuff (approx. value $100)

Below are different ways to help me reach this goal.

1) A Home Party: I will send out your invitations for you and I will do the reminder calls for you. Just make a dessert and drink... that is all you have to do to enjoy a night with your friends. I would prefer this type of party. :) They are more successful foryou (thus getting you more goodies) and it is great to meet all of your friends! I have several dates available, so send me a message and we will see what works best for both you and myself!

2) Party To Go: Take a "loaded catalog" filled with over 75 fragrances and share with your family and friends. Have a blast smelling all the summer scents available. Place outside orders. The "loaded catalog" make it easy to sell the candles, since you are able to smell them right there! Let me know the week you would like to reserve your Party To Go bag and catalogs! This is great for my long distance people!

3) "Sweet 15" Scratch n Sniff Party: I have a brochure of 15 summer scents and only 3 sizes of candles. Let your friends and family scratch each scent and smell the wonderful fragrances of the summer season. Nothing to carry around but a piece of paper. These scents are the most popular scents of the season. Extremely easy and has proven to be successful. Not overwhelming for you or your friends. This is great for all the newbies on your list that you would like to have order.

4) Love candles? Want to try the World's Finest? You wont regret trying them. Log on to www.wix-n-stix.com and enter Promo Code: MEMDAYCAD25 - Good on orders of $50 and over.

Well Ladies... How about it? I can not tell you how much I would appreciate this. And Being that the following was printed about me - I feel the real pressure now to get out there and make sure that this happens!

Here is what was written about me...
Jen Allen of Virginia has set a goal to become a Gold Seller and is maximizing her efforts and time with creative ideas. She currently holds her team meetings at a Panera Bread restaurant and displayed her basket Party at the table they were sitting. Four people came up to her to tell her how beautiful it was. Jen shared our products with them, took their contact information and gave them a Tealight Opportunity Sample. Two contacts are from out of state, but because of her personal website, she is excited about having new customers and potential team members in other states. She is only $8,000 from her goal. Way to go!

Please let me know. I would be most grateful and who knows - You may be the winner of that AWESOME basket!

I love flowers/Hate weeds

So I was thinking today - I can fill my home with the fragrance of fresh cut flowers, of any type or variety, and not have to worry about the weeds! I can fill my home with the fragrances of rose, gardenia, sweet pea, lilac, casablance lily, and more with Gold Canyon and I don't have to pull a single weed.

Most people know I have a brown thumb but when it comes to fragrance I can always "pretend" to have a fragrant garden full of wonderful plants and bushes, and never have to worry about a single weed!

Feel the "Spirit of Summer"!

The new "Spirited Summer" catalog is now available from Gold Canyon. Sales start on May 1st and go through August 31st.

Stock up now on your favorite Spring fragrances before they are gone, then get your candles FREE by hosting a Gold Canyon party or "loaded catalog" party!

How to talk to your kids about disabilities and the importance of inclusion

I have three children, age 9,7 and 5 and they are simply the most loving children I know (of course they are my little jewels). But all joking aside... I have taught my children that it is very important to love and be friends with childern with disabilities. I explain to them that these children are just like them, except they cannot sometimes do all the things that they can do. I have had many interesting conversations with my oldest about the "cool kids" at her school. That is what they call our special needs children in our elementary school. The older students (one of them being my daughter) can go to their room and help with the kids. Playing games with them, reading to them and just being their friend. At the end of last year, my daughter was given a certificate from their room that said thanks for coming to our room and helping us. It was great. When my children see these kids out and about with their parents, they are always running up to them to say hello and ask them how they are doing. Some of the kids cannot talk, or feed themselves, and have severe disabilities, but my children always tell me that those kids are their friends and they show love toward them, and tell other kids that it is not nice to make fun of those children, because the only difference is that they cannot do all of the same things as we can.

One program that my children have be very supportive of is our Prayer Child program with Gold Canyon. Since the beginning of this school year, the Prayer child Foundation has given $5000 to children in my community, through the sales of our candles for kids program. (You can read more about that in one of my other posts on this blog dated Sunday, January 25, 2009.) These children are children that my oldest daughter helped in the cool kids classroom. The money was given to help offset medical bills, and therapy expenses or general needs for the children. My children let everyone know about the Prayer Child foundation and help me with fundraisers with the program as well...

I think that when children are allowed to interact with special needs children, they get a better understanding of what it is like to live with a disability, and they realize that it is OK for them to be different.

My younger two children are always asking questions about people they see in the mall, or at the store, and my oldest is very quick to try to give them an answer that they can understand, and I love that! What better way for them to learn than from an older sibling who has worked in the classroom with these kids.

I am a school teacher and I, of course, am involved with these kids on a dialy basis - either involving them with my kids, or having them help with laundry and sih washing... The kids love that they can be included with the rest of the children and I feel this is the best way to overcome differences - Include them with the other children.

Also - Be Sure to check out the CVS CAREMARK All Kids Can link to the right for more information on this great program through CVS, as well as www.prayerchild.org for more information on the prayer child program.

Recycling items from your Gold Canyon stash

Re-use that jar.... Don't just throw your candle jars in the trash, re-use them in creative ways.

here are a few ideas.

First - Clean your jar. If your candle has just burned it's last glimmer and is still liquid, dump it out. If the wax is solidified, warm the candle in an over of about 250 degrees and use hot pads to remove it once the wax has liquified to dump it out.

Next wipe all the excess wax that you can out with a paper towel. Then use HOMEOLOGY glass cleaner to clean the glass jar, run through the dishwasher to get any residue left behind out.

Now that the jar is clean, use it in all kinds of ways. Here are a few that I have done with both jars and pod containers:

1. fill with candy for on your desk at work

2. Fill with coffee beans and place a tealight inside (I have this on my desk as a constant reminder that I will not be teaching shcool forever, but will be working my Gold canyon business)

3. Store extra buttons - my friends antique buttons look awesome in her bella jars in her sewing room

4. nuts/bolts/screws can be stored in smaller jars, or store them in the pod warmer plastic containers that have been cleaned out as well. They stack so that they will not fall over, but will keep things organized.

5. Use your old jar as a flower vase. Decoupage the outside of the jar and put those flowers your kids bring into you in them - The kids love making them as well.

6. The baking line jars make great canisters for flour, sugar etc... They can be stored right on your counter and witha screw top lid, they keep the moisture out.

7. Polly pocket pieces... my daughters have tons of polly pieces, and they make me crazy when they are all over the floor - They store their Polly Pocket shoes in the pod warmer containers, they can see what is in them and can label the tops as well.

8. Store Paper clips, thumb tacks and other office supplies in the pod containers. You can tie a ribbon around them and hang them from your cork board at your cubicle. Very Cute!

9. Pods also make great holders for those spare buttons that you get when you buy clothing.

10. Use the new caffe velluto containers for cofee beans, biscotti, and more! They are super cute!

Look for more posts in the next few days on recycling and being more GREEN with your Gold Canyon products!

Prayer Child Helps Local Families

One of the greatest parts of my job is helping families in need. The Prayer Child program was started in 2000 to help children with physical disabilities and medical needs. The sales of the "Candles for Kids" provide the money that is needed for these children.

In August of 2008 I went to a fellow teacher in my school building who is responsible for all of the severe handicapped children. I asked her to fill out applications for her students so that we could possibly get some money for those kids. Many of them live at poverty level and have needs beyond what their parents can meet financially.

In November, just a week before Thanksgiving, Jill came to me with three envelopes in her hand. All of the envelopes contained a check for $1000 a piece, made out to three students in our school. I was ecstatic! I cried for days. We called the families and had them come in to the school, telling them that they had paper work that needed to be signed (how sneaky). When they got there, they were pleasantly surprised to see that they were being given $1000.

As the parents were getting ready to leave, they said that they knew what they were going to do with the money already. One planned on putting it in a savings account for her daughter for later use, the other was going to purchase a theraputic bike for her daughter and the last mother said that she now had enough money to get her daughter the bed that she had been saving for stating "This is going to be a great Christmas for our daughter"

I was so excited! My candles had made the difference in the lives of THREE children in my own school, my own community, and that felt WONDERFUL!

So when you are making your purchase with Gold Canyon, consider purchasing a "Candles for Kids" candle. It will touch the lives of children all over the US, and knowing that 100% of that money goes to them makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I know that I am "Making a difference" in so many childrens lives everytime that I purchase, or one of my customers purchase a "CAndles for Kids" candle, and for that I am grateful!

Thank you Gold Canyon for such a wonderful product and a wonderful program that has touched children in my community!
