The Small, Medium and Large Mystery Boxes are back while supplies last! Each box includes a variety of products from past launches — perfect for introducing new customers to the brand, since the items will be new to them. They’re also great for giveaways at your Open Houses or as free gifts for customers at your events.

We’re also retiring six 12x12 solid bookcloth album cover colors to make room for new options. If you or your customers love these shades, quantities are limited, so you'll want to grab them before they’re gone: Burnt Orange, Canary, Green Jubilee Mica, Royal Purple, Steel Gray and Lemon Ice Shimmer.

New Advisor Spotlight


Every journey starts with a first step — and this new Advisor is off to a fantastic start. Let’s celebrate their recent accomplishment!

I'd like to share a little story and one that is a win for not just me, but two other Advisors. Eleven days ago, my father and I were flying back from Alaska to Mississippi after visiting family. On our segment flight from Anchorage to Minneapolis, Dad had a heart attack. We were transported to Fairview Hospital in Edina, where he was admitted on Wednesday.

I had a Beginner Class scheduled during the first night of my Croptoberfest retreat the following Thursday. By the weekend, we knew Dad would need to have two procedures, possibly three. This meant I definitely would miss my own event!

I contacted one of my attendees — someone I've known for 25+ years, who was a former CM Consultant (and hopefully will rejoin soon) to be my boots on the ground. I decided I would teach the class via Zoom. The biggest issue is I didn't have the Simple Page Kit with me, nor did I have tools. Here's where the win comes in: I reached out to Dianne Radmacher, and she, in turn, contacted her Upline Judi Butler. Between the two of them, they came up with a plan. Judi graciously offered a Project Recipe Kit and Tape Runner, while Dianne offered the use of her trimmer — and delivery to the hospital! I successfully held my Beginner Class on Thursday 🙂

I love this community of Advisors. These two ladies truly personify the heart of CM and Advisors: willing to help out in a very difficult situation, but helping me make the best of it. Tonight, I was able to return Dianne's trimmer to her and we began what I hope will be a lifelong friendship. While we are here in Edina, MN, for another week, I am so thankful for the kindness of others in the CM community. And... Dad is doing great!
