What a Year!!!

It's February 13th, and I'm one month away from celebrating big time!

I have been sooooo busy with my life, that I've not had the time to blog... I ALWAYS say, "this year I'm going to take more time to blog!"  Do I actually follow through? Nope. 😞  Not even having the mobile app has changed things...

So, I won't promise that I am going to do better. I won't say, watch for updates every week or even bi-weekly. I will update when I can!

Soooooooo...

Back to the celebrating portion! 😉


2018 is a huge year in terms of things happening.

My only daughter turns 18 this year. My oldest son turns 21 this year. My youngest son turns 10 this year. I will be turning the big 4-0 this year!!!!!! Thankfully not all at the same time! LOL!

My only daughter graduates high school as well this year, and will be heading off to Oregon State University in the fall! She has come so far since 8th grade, I just cannot believe what an amazing young lady she has become. 💖

My daughter also gets to go on her first cruise with her best friend this spring. Then in June she gets the amazing opportunity to travel to Japan! I wish I could go do both things with her, but one day I'll get to go.

In the last year, I have had so much fun with my business. I started out strong with vendor events booked from April through until October! I was busy every weekend between June and September. I had the amazing opportunity to attend the 5th Anniversary Origami Owl Experience in Phoenix, AZ in July, and that was OWL-MAZING!! 😉😀

Just less than 2 weeks ago the Spring/Summer Collection was launched. Since I have been a part of O2, I keep getting awed by the amazing jewelry we have to offer! Have you seen this new collection yet?

These photos are from The Nest (that's our home office):

The following photos are ones I took:

I think this is the most gorgeous piece we've ever had! The picture does NOT do it justice! 

 My 9yo son was the model for this bracelet. 

It fits up to a 7.5 inch wrist, which is too small for me sadly..

 These charms... omg! Sorry this isn't a good picture, but you can see almost all of the new charms...

The bar necklace is amazing! This one says "Everything happens for a reason"

Now, I'm sure you are thinking, "She said she's celebrating... so why is she sharing all of this?"

Here's what I'm going to do...

Starting February 18th, I will be doing a month-long sale and give away in my VIP Group on Facebook to celebrate my ONE YEAR anniversary as an Origami Owl Designer! I will have mystery grab bags for sale, as well as other specials, and here and there I will also be giving away FREE stuff to celebrate! Added bonus for members who decide to join my team and become a designer as well!

So, if you are already a member of my VIP Group, HOORAY!! If you are NOT... then what are you waiting for? In order for you to join my VIP Group, you will have to first like my business page, then follow the link to my VIP Group and request to join. You will have to answer the 3 questions in order to be approved.

I'm so excited for this upcoming anniversary!!! 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

Starting out fresh- New business!

March 18th, 2017 I started a new business, and I can't be more excited to share this with everyone!!

You might be wondering what the heck was I thinking? 👀

Ok, I'll tell you what I was thinking:   I absolutely LOVE this product line, I wanted a discount on purchases for myself, and lastly, WHY NOT?

I am now an Independent Designer with Origami Owl!

I mean, have you SEEN the jewelry yet??

It all started with this:

This is my work lanyard. I still work outside the home as an Educational Assistant in an elementary school. A good friend of mine, who I've known online only for about 10 years now, has  been a Designer with Origami Owl, or O2 as we designers call it, since the beginning... Well, she asked a simple question on Facebook: Who has to wear a badge for work?  I answered of course, and then I got a message from her that there was a sale on the lanyard locket badge holders if I was interested. What do you think I did? Well, you guessed right. I bought one!!  I even ordered extra charms to add to my locket. The original one came with a school bus charm, the pencil charm, a set of books with an apple charm, and the leaf charms. 

I honestly fell in love with the charms and the locket!

Since March, I have been doing A LOT! The top photo is of me wearing the Hostess Exclusive look that I earned for FREE for the month of July. The next three photos are items that I put together for other people (I never watermarked these for some reason, lol). And the last photo is my typical booth set up for events.   I have done at least one event every month since starting in March, and I have only had ONE event where I didn't sell even one charm, which is amazing. 

Just a couple weeks ago, I had the opportunity to attend my first ever O2 Experience. This year's convention marked the 5th anniversary of O2! That's right, O2 has only been a thriving direct sale business for 5 years now, but it's been around a bit longer than that! Go take a look at how O2 started here:  https://kiralee.origamiowl.com/ourstory

Now I have a VIP Group on FB, and I'm working towards my first goal: getting enough points to earn the incentive trip to the Riviera Maya in March!! I have until December 30th to get an additional 80 points, which means I need to start building a team, getting my team volume to be no less than 2000tv a month, and getting no less than 500pv (that's personal volume) per month. My goal is to get a minimum of 100 points so I can take my daughter on the trip with me. Even if I only get 80 points, I can go on the trip just myself, but I really want my daughter to go with me so we can celebrate her birthday in style! The trip is just a few days before her 18th birthday! 

I'll be updating this blog more, now that I have more exciting things to talk about!
