"I held another beginner class today with 10 people. 7 of them were completely new to me and 3 of them have been to one other beginner class with me, so it was pretty busy. I was a little overwhelmed with making sure I managed to spend enough time with everyone, but it was ok. I only had $200 in sales, but I have booked 4 people into my workshop next weekend and the others are checking on availability, so I think they will buy products to come to regular workshops in the future. I forgot to take a photo of everyone, so I only had a couple of photos my daughter took for me because I was too busy!" - Advisor Holley Noakes

“I taught a Beginner Class on May 26 using Simple Page Kits while on vacation visiting family. The guests were two nieces, their Mom (my sister-in-law) and one of my sons who probably wouldn't have joined in if we weren't on vacation and together with his cousins. My SIL wanted a smaller album so I gave her a Horizontal Pocket Page and showed her how to cut apart her SPK to fit the pockets. Everyone enjoyed themselves and I had my highest sales for a Beginner Class with both nieces choosing Global Getaway Album Kits and my SIL ordering a Scrap Journal + pocket pages. Their order arrived today so I was able to explain how to use the Kits and they were thrilled with their free Tote Bags, too. The biggest win is that the women are finally all excited to create their own albums after many attempts over the years to persuade them to try it. Switching my verbiage from 'scrapbook' to 'album' seemed to make a difference since they have used pocket-style albums before. Thanks Home Office for making it simpler to teach beginners with SPKs to transition into becoming album makers! My nieces were happy to do unboxing reels for me, too!
