THE WILSONS

A few days ago, we were able to coordinate our schedule with the Wilson family for some fun fall pictures at their favorite play spot, Petit Jean Mountain. These little people are just precious, making our job exceptionally fun! We played inside the rail at the pavilion...
...and then on top!
When it is time to play in the field, holding hands is very important.



Thank you, Susan and John for allowing us this glimpse into the life of your precious family! It was a joy.

ALOETTE of ARKANSAS CONNECTION

The consultants of Aloette of Arkansas have a lot to be proud of as they share this special opportunity across the state and actually across the nation! As their team grows exponentially, they give the credit to GOD publicly.
Aloette of AR has two of the top 6 teams in the nation, Crystal Smith and Angelia Lewis! They have two tied for the number one recruiter position in the nation, Amber Rader and Chantel Higdon! And another tied for second, Crystal Smith.
Without hosts/hostesses, their job would much more difficult, so in recognition of their hard work, they crown the top hostess, Hostess Queen for the evening.
There were a number of the new recruits in attendance, one being Annie Stevens (Amber's recruit). Annie brought her friend Katie to share in the celebration....and the story goes on...
Aloette is believes in team work and rewards for building your beauty consultant business. There are a number of rewards along the way, free products, "bling" as Dana likes to call it, and cash! This month, there were two consultants that received two of the more "sparkly" blings...


...the first was very exciting, but the next was even more exciting as you can see from the expressions...
...the first being a watch that sparkles like the sunshine......and the second being a hand made necklace and earring set...

The Connection is a place for encouragement and the sharing of new ideas. Those that are successful at recruiting share with the others what is working for them.

Those that are successful at booking new shows, share what is working for them which inspires others in their creativity and new consultants get a jump on HOW to do the business.

Two of Crystal's "Jewels", Chantel and Amber.
So, if you are looking for an opportunity in this struggling economy to make a difference life of your own family as well as in the lives of others, Aloette of Arkansas may be just for you.
Thank you for allowing me to share in your excitement each month! You are a terrific TEAM!

ALMOST ALONE with DAVID WILLIAMS

Each year, we plan time for education and June of this year was one of those times. We traveled to Nashville, TN ready to soak up as much knowledge and inspiration as a person possibly could. We had not met David before that time but had learned from others that this Master Photographer had much to offer and knew exactly how to offer it. Ron and I came back saturated and inspired!

David will be coming to central Arkansas in January! Reserve January 21, 22, 23, 2009 to come to Conway for 3 full days of learning and fellowship with other photographers! Check out the information below.
I will readily admit that I'm not totally computer savvy, so HERE is your link to register rather than inside the image! If we can be of help, locally, please feel free to contact us.

NATALIE-CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA

Recently when Natalie came home after a 9 day journey to the ends of the earth and back...well almost to the end, we loaded some of the pictures that she had taken. Actually the trip was to Cape Town, South Africa with a stop in Dakar, Senegal. There were a lot of fun things to see and hear about, but I narrowed it down to a few that I thought were exceptionally interesting. She was with a senior crew that had been there numerous times before so they knew many interest knowledge of the area was very beneficial. Just in case you wondered just how far it actually is...from NYC that is...
Cape Point is the southern most tip...
...where the cool waters of the Atlantic and the warm waters of the Indian Ocean meet causing waves to "crash" perpendicular to the shore! They do roll into shore, but if you notice in both of these images, they also crest in a way that I had never seen before. Isn't God's creation just amazing?

The picture that she was most proud of, follows. A breaching whale!

Both of our girls have always been fascinated with penguins. Maybe because when they were little, when they would get tired, they would sit on the tops of our feet with their back resting against our legs like baby penguins do!Graycen Nudd will appreciate these next two...

Needless to say, this has been one of her favorite rotations. Lots to see and an outstanding crew to share it.

COLE ALEXANDER-3 months

Time passes so quickly that before we can blink, another stage of development has appeared and we must give it credit before it is gone and we have only our memory to trust for preservation! Cole is growing into a dedicated Hog fan under the close direction of mom and daddy but today we took a different direction to show off a bit. First we see the man about town as he catches the eye of the ladies in his play group!
Hands and feet are a must, so while Cole was having a snack, I was busy playing.



Thanks Cole and Becca for a fun afternoon of play!

ALOETTE of ARKANSAS CONNECTION

I have fallen a bit behind sharing some of the exciting things happening in Central Arkansas! One of those being the celebration of Amber's 20th birthday! And what better way to celebrate than at Aloette of Arkansas's Connection for September.

"Somehow", there were those that found out about this special day...

...and had a few sweet gifts for her.

Encouragement is a big deal in Aloette of Arkansas.
Two of "Amber's Angels" are Megan... ...and Secret.
Tom Judson, President of Aloette from the home office in Atlanta was there to celebrate and recognize Arkansas's three newest Managers In Training...
Donna Dial, Patricia Williams and Amber Rader.

Aloette of Arkansas's newest Field Executives are Melanie and Mark Hamilton of White Hall! Tom presented the Hamilton's sponsor, Angela Lewis with a dozen red roses representing her love and devotion to her team. The Hamiltons received a dozen orange roses representing their fire and passion to see their team succeed.
When a new Field Executive is recognized, Aloette literally rolls out the red carpet!

Mark and Melanie also received individual pink roses to give to three others that they wanted to see succeed. Amber was one of those chosen by Melanie to receive a pink rose of sweetness and innocence. That was certainly an unexpected blessing!

Aloette of Arkansas is #1 in recruiting and the fastest growing franchise in North America. Twenty two years ago, a surgical nurse by the name of Dana Davin purchased the Arkansas franchise because she had seen the difference it made not only in the health and look of her skin, but because of the positive change in had made in her life and the life of her family. She wanted to share that positive change with as many people as would listen. Passion is contagious, especially when it is truly shared from the heart. That passion has obviously spread like wild fire.
