Whimsical Creations

I love simply yet elegant things that make a house a home. Who doesn't? So, when I came across these coasters, I fell in love with them.

Whimsical Creations donated some coasters to our adoption auction last month and while looking at all of her coasters, I fell in love with this one!

The Lord's Prayer on a set of coasters. Wouldn't it be great to have these sitting in your home reminding you each and every day about the Lord's Prayer.

She also offers coasters with different sayings and coasters with initials on them as well.

These would make precious teacher gifts and Christmas gifts!!! For more items and details, please head over to Whimsical Creations and tell them Southern Savings and Deals sent you.

Thirty One Consultant

Are you interested in making a little bit of extra money every month?? If so, then you should consider becoming a Thirty One Consultant!!

You're are going to LOVE Thirty One products! If you’re not a seller, there is no need to worry because these products sell themselves. I have been a consultant since August of last year and I have been more than pleased with the outcome. To be honest with you, I haven’t even hosted a home party and I’ve walked away many months with free products and a commission check as well. (Consultants make 25% commission off products). I’ve been successful just by hosting catalog parties, which not only works with my busy lifestyle but also allows me to sell an amazing product!

When you Join Thirty One as an Independent Thirty One Consultant, it is fun and extremely easy. Thirty One offers a unique opportunity to start your own home based business for a very minimal cost, just $99! When you see the possibiliteies a Thirty One Gifts Business has, and realize the success that so many other consultants have already experienced you will realize that this is one business opportunity you don’t want to pass up!!

To give you an idea of what you can earn and make see below:

This past month by commission check was over $300 and I got the following products completely free since I hosted a show by myself:

2 Small Thermal Totes (Reg. Price $12.00 each)
1 Small Thermal Tote Monogrammed (Reg. Price $16.00)
1 Large Utility Tote (Reg. Price $36.00)
1 Cosmetic Bag Monogrammed (Reg. Price $31.00)
1 Flat Iron Case (Reg. Price $20.00)
1 Compact Mirror (Reg. Price $10.00)
1 Manicure Set (Reg. Price $16.00)
1 Albany Bag Monogrammed (Reg. Price $54.00)
1 Organizing Utility Tote Monogrammed (Reg. Price $28.00)

That’s a total of $223.00 in products completely free!!!

Thirty One at the current time is in a Recruitment Freeze because the business is growing sooo fast! No need to worry though, because in June they allowed the first 3,000 on the waitlist to sign up. Hopefully in July and August more will be able to join as well. To get on the waitlist to join, you can visit my website and click “Join my team”. Keep in mind that this will not be an outright commitment, you will not order your kit yet and you have plenty of time to ask questions. Selecting "Yes, I am going to sign up when I can" (vs. "Maybe, I am thinking") will guarantee you an open spot as soon as the freeze ends.

Once there are spots open, you will get an email saying that you can go ahead and sign up. You will have 2 weeks from that date to sign on as a consultant and you will place your order for your starter kit then.

Frequently Asked Questions about Joining Thirty-One as a Consultant:

Q: What does it cost to join?

A: Your enrollment kit costs $99 and you will receive more than $300 worth of products and business supplies. Everything in the kit is yours to keep!

Q: How do I make money with Thirty-One?

A: Your commission is 25% of what you sell. You also can make added revenue dependent on the number of recruits you have enrolled.

Q: Does Thirty-One have any sales requirements?

A: Once you are a qualified consultant (which means you have made $1,000 in sales), you need to sell $250 in product each quarter to remain active.

Q: Is it hard to sell $250/quarter?

A: It really isn't. An average party yields about $450 in sales.

Q: Will I have support?

A: You bet. In addition to having a full team at the Home Office, terrific online resources and a Director you can call whenever you need to talk, you will have ME.

If you have any questions about becoming a hostess please feel free to email me at any time at tlc1982@aol.com or you can call me at 205-886-8070.

I think you’re going to LOVE Thirty One and the best part about the company is not only earning products and commission, but that it is also a Christian based company. It’s a great company to work for and they give God all the glory which makes it even better!!!

Looking forward to hopefully having you on my team soon!

July customers, this special is for you: For every $10 you spend, you can take 31% off one of five new fall products. So, spend $50 and you can get five new products at 31% off!

July hostesses, here's one for you: In addition to all of the regular hostess benefits, you will also get to "bank" some Thirty-One $$ for shopping this fall. If you host a $350 party, you will earn $25 for fall shopping. If you host a $550 party, you will earn $50 for fall shopping. If you host an $850 party, you will earn $75 for fall shopping!

And a tip: with the new catalog coming out on August 1, the current catalog will be selling out soon - if you are interested in taking advantage of these specials, you will have a better chance of getting what you want if you buy or book in the first half of July.
