First Row Right: Advisor Emily Gallo celebrated a major milestone weekend — hosting over 100 croppers and her first Advisor event. The energy was electric as attendees enjoyed technique challenges and classes from Meggan Jacks. Emily shared how meaningful it was to see this dream fulfilled and expressed deep gratitude for her team, captains, and Home Office support.
Second Row Left: Advisor Dawne Watts taught a Beginner Class out of state while visiting family. With one attendee who was brand-new to crafting, she tailored the experience by asking what types of cards she needed and letting her choose her favorites from the kit. A simple, personalized approach made the class a success, and her guests especially loved discovering repositionable adhesive.
Second Row Right: Advisor Gwen Hollenbaugh boosted interest in her monthly Christmas card class by personally messaging customers the day before — resulting in nine attendees rather than her usual three to four.

Third Row Right: Advisor Mary Martin hosted her monthly crop with 11 attendees, offering a Christmas card class for the whole group and a Beginner Class for three newcomers. A hot chocolate bar and festive music set the tone for a cozy, creative day.
Fourth Row Left: Advisor Janice Lee led a special workshop demonstrating how to use the Cooked With Love collection to preserve recipe memories with intention. Using her vintage 1970s recipe box for inspiration, she showed attendees how to pair handwritten recipes with photos and stories. The group loved the idea, and Janice is now assembling her own album to debut at her December event.
Fourth Row Right: Advisor Donna Lyn Watson welcomed a new customer who attended Donna’s Beginner Class and brought her daughter along. They enjoyed discovering CM tools together, and Donna loved seeing another mother–daughter duo dive into scrapbooking.
